I wasn't sure how this would turn out. I think it's better than I expected, but there are a few minor issues that I will describe.

I don't normally like to keep the intros, but I left most of this one because of the audible voices complaining about people standing up despite having seats. This explains all the noise in the intro of "Out of This World". I was all situated with my recorder and hadn't anticipated standing up. I had to do some adjustment. Sorry. (The "needs to be louder" comment was presumably referring to the music; it certainly wasn't directed at me.) The subsequent cheering is in reference to Robert Smith finally turning around to face the audience.

I edited the encore breaks and outro, as is my preference, but made sure to keep all of Robert's banter. The break between the third and fourth encores is so short, though, that I left that one in.

Everyone in my section suddenly started sitting down in the middle of "The End of the World". (I guess I'm not the only one that doesn't like that song.) At about :42 you can hear the sound noticably change as I too sit down, although there is not any mic handling noise. There is, however, mic handling noise between a few other songs, but very rarely during the songs themselves. I did my best. The audience stood up again in the middle of "A Forest", but you can't really tell when I stood up as well.

Other issues:
Someone near me sneezes in the middle of "Never Enough" (about 1:29 and 1:31).
There is an annoying loud burst of audience cheering during the "Hello?" outro of "Wrong Number" (about 5:18).
There are a lot of guest vocals from the women next to me. Thankfully they are on key and not too loud. However, they are just about always present. They even knew the words to the b-sides.

Lastly, Robert teases a song after "In Between Days", but I cannot tell what it is. I can rarely understand his banter as it is, but after he sings a line or two, he says, "I tell you, Austin's getting to me."

I wrote a review (including a couple pictures) available here:

Stunning set by The Cure. This tour has been fantastic, and the show in Englewood CO was no exception. I absolutley love the album Bloodflowers, and that is what we got. Man their shows are LOUD (a great thing!). I would love to catch them again on this tour if possible.I am really happy with this recording through track 30. My batteries went our during The Walk, and I didn't catch it until Let's Go to Bed had started. I had a backup recorder, and turned it on, but it's levels weren't adjusted low enough and got a little distortion. Still really decent on those track too. This is the complete show, however, with a small amount of The Walk, and Let's Go to Bed missing.

HOLY SHIT! OK, I am compiling this file the day after the show, my whole body is still hurting somehow and I am going back tonight. I don’t know if I can ATTEND 3 shows like this in a row! - how can they PLAY 3 shows in a row is beyond me
It really was fantastic; I am obsessed with Disintegration so this setlist was like a dream. And I hear they change A LOT from night to night. Robert sounded great! And I felt he got sort of emotional - whoever was there should second this or not… Anyway - I was long past-due for some serious Cure-run - and I am overcompensating! As always, many thanks to BLG for mastering.
Hope you like it!

OK, this 2nd night, in my view, enters the realm of 'top shows I've experienced' and scores highest of the three MSG nights in terms of just sheer musical coherence and power. What a stunning gig! Robert has been on fire this tour, but just the combination of a setlist here and what he was channeling I think really pushes it to the 'very special' category. The One Hundred Years (with war atrocities projected on the screen) > End main-set closer kinda left me standing with my mouth open pretty much through the encore break. And yes, I think Wish as sort of the main-set envelope works incredibly well.

Taping-wise - much less audience action around me than night 1 (well, a couple making out in front of me for most of the gig - but QUIETLY - that’s what matters, right? ). There were a couple of wrinkles however… let’s just say ‘female+alone’ combination in some weird ways pushes some interactive buttons in random audience members… - but ultimately, there is a universal ‘zip it!!!’ sign and magic powers of BLG mastering Also many thanks go to obcdobcd (he knows why!)
I guess I should zip it myself and let you just enjoy it. I begin to sound like a Cure obsessive after 25 years in a closet…

Oh, one more thing. I filmed some each night - which sometimes worked better than others depending on the: 1) smoke 2) how tall people in front of me were and how spontaneously they were throwing hands up in the air 3) how tied my hands were…

Notes:

What a fantastic concert. This show was just pure joy. A beautiful tapestry of sound was woven this night at the world's most famous arena and I was lucky enough to be in attendance. My only regret is that I did not attend the first two shows of this three night MSG stand.

This was my 7th show recorded with my trusty Nokia Lumia Icon Windows Phone and, once again, I think the results are rather damn good. The built-in HAAC mics can stand up to 140db without distorting the recording and there are no levels to set. You can't go wrong AND you don't have to worry about sneaking in 'equipment'. Some 'on the fly' splits: after track 04, after, after track 08, after track 12, after track 17, after track 18, all encores. I then used Audacity to split the large WAV files recorded into single tracks. Some drunken comments pre-show (track 00) and post-show (track 33) that you can feel free to delete.
Emjoy!

Notes by viper:

The Intro is missing. Goes right into "Out of This World".

Found this one on the Cure For All blog. I saw my version of this show was up but there was a link to a Matrix version done by X. Dowloaded this version as a 2.5GB 32it/48khz PCM/WAV file (no info file, just the large WAV file). Confirmed that it was a matrix of my recording and the one recorded by Ed Davis and shared by BLG. The metadata on the original file had this info: "Adobe Premier Pro CC 2015 for windows". I would imagine this was used by X to produce this Matrix (I would not even come close to knowing how this is done). Split tracks using Audacity (saved to 16bit/48khz PCM/WAV). Removed a redundant 1min, 59sec bit before track 20 (leaves off a bit of audience but Robert Smith talking isn't repeated). Converted to FLAC (Level 8) using Trader's Little Helper. Some very nice cover art for this show (by jojo) was up on the CFA blog and I've included that. I think the end product sounds rather good. It's interesting at the very least. Let me know what you think.

Emjoy!

Notes:
This is my first attempt at recording, which was inspired by AForestFan at TCC (who was awesome at answeering all my questions). Thanks as well to nausearockpig who agreed to master it and clean things up as required. We were just in front of the soundboard to the left. This was my seventh time seeing them and did not disappoint with a good Disintegration-themed set. The crowd was probably a bit more into the pop songs that they could sing along to. I like the noisy ones you can headbang to and best song for me was One Hundred Years for the power and the visuals. Runners up were It Can Never Be The Same and Disintegration but all of it was great. was great to see the band with Reeves in action as well - he is a great player. Simon was pretty fun to watch too and did laps of the stage to keep us all amused. Total playing time was a hair over three hours not including the encore breaks.

Do whatever you want with it but please do not sell this recording.

NRP notes:
* The feedback outro of From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea merges into the sampled intro of Want. It sounds rad!
There are a few fade outs & ins & small edits to remove any unimportant crowd noise, other than that I didn't do much to what is a very good capture. Biggest thanks to Psychophysio for taping and passing to me to edit. Great stuff bloke!

The Cure — британская рок-группа, образованная в Кроули (англ. Crawley, Сассекс, Англия) в 1976 году. За время существования состав группы неоднократно менялся, её единственным постоянным участником остаётся фронтмен, вокалист, гитарист и автор песен Роберт Смит.

Группа возникла в конце 1970-х, во время бума пост-панка и новой волны, пришедших в Великобритании на смену панк-року. Её дебютом стали сингл «Killing an Arab» и альбом Three Imaginary Boys (1979). В начале 1980-х The Cure записывали нигилистические, мрачные и наполненные трагизмом работы, которые сыграли важную роль в формировании готического рока. После выпуска Pornography (1982) дальнейшее существование группы было под вопросом, и Смит решил изменить её имидж. Начиная с сингла «Let’s Go to Bed» (1982) The Cure всё чаще стали записывать лёгкие, ориентированные на поп-сцену песни. B конце 1980-х благодаря серии удачных альбомов популярность The Cure росла, в том числе в США, где синглы «Lovesong», «Just Like Heaven» и «Friday I’m in Love» попали в Billboard Hot 100. К началу 1990-х The Cure стали одной из самых популярных групп в жанре альтернативного рока. По состоянию на 2004 год суммарные продажи всех альбомов составляли 27 миллионов копий. За более чем тридцать лет The Cure выпустили тринадцать студийных альбомов и тридцать девять синглов.
