err, how can an artist ban a cover?

One of the tracks was less, um, faithful to the original.

I did have a copy of it, it wasn't massively insulting to him. (Then again, it wasn't that good either, his "Jesus and Mary Chain" done in the style of the theme to "Match of the Day" was a lot better)

(This wasn't that one, was it?)

Nope, four-disc live best-of IIRC, compiled from soundboardy-quality sources - maybe plus a bonus disc of audience recordings? Of course I may not RC because Ned's stunned "NEVER?" is correct. Six, maybe seven years ago?

so i listened to part of Bestival Live 2011 as it just came out and as stated above really isn't that good. the Cure really seem to need that fifth member, at least, live to get a better overall feel.

It's a curio. My greatest disappointment with it is the set list.

I've heard a few rumors now that next year the plan for live shows will be _The Top_ and the like. Which would be GREAT to see.

so it sounds like Mixed Up is going to get passed over?

I sure hope so - this album was laborious at best -- such a squandered opportunity.
