they played over two hours, way ahead of their time slot, i was very upset because i wanted to see fedde since he NEVER comes to the states

I'm a huge Cure fan but I thought most of the crowd definitely grew tired of them. I have seen them 5 times so when they got to "the hits" I went over to Digitalism.
Entire show is up on www.dimeadozen.org

Before they announced The Cure I told my friend that they should have New Order or The Pet Shop Boys play Ultra. I still that that is the direction they need to go if they want to keep doing older bands. The Cure are a huge band but stick with a little more dancy uppity stuff like New Order or Pet Shop Boys.

I got there shortly before 10 pm so i didn't have to listen to The Cure for the whole 2 hours. Here are a few videos i took.

Fantastic videos and pics. Thanks for sharing.


Does anyone have a www.dimeadozen.org account? I need to get a recording of this show.

Oh man, I see they didn't play Charlotte Sometimes. That's a bit of a relief for me since I wasn't there. But I can definitely understand what you mean by saying that they don't fit very well in this type of festival. I couldn't agree more actually. One live band that they should definitely invite to next year's Ultra is "The Faint", they are from Nebraska. If you still have not heard of them, check out some of their stuff from "Blank Wave Arcade", "Danse Macabre", and "Wet From Birth" albums. You'll see what I'm talking about.

The Faint would be awesome!!!
