Saw The Cure at Shoreline Ampitheater in Mountain View, CA last year. Such a great show. We had lawn seats, but the view/sound was awesome. They played "Burn" from the The Crow soundtrack, and Fascination Street, two of my all-time favs...

Dave Wakeling (The Beat/General Public) really gets around now, saw him at a local club last year as well and he sounds fantastic with his band. Sad that Rankin' Roger passed, I would have loved to see him play. Apparently his son, Rankin Jr, is carrying the ska torch now :)
