Sean McGraw with Robert at AKA Records in Philadelphia (August 1st, 2004)

"On August 1, 2004 thanks to my friend Matt, I was able to briefly meet and speak with Robert. The meeting took place at AKA Records. I formally introduced myself and my wife Kim to Robert and told him that night’s show would be my 25th lifetime attendance at a Cure show (if you want the list send me an Email sometime). He asked if I had any requests for the night - Kim and I both asked for “Plainsong” (track 1 from Disintegration). He indicated he would do it and asked if I had any other requests. I then asked if he could play “Faith”. It is a song in which the words speak for itself. Robert said “that might be a bit tricky.”

The Cure opened their show at The Tweeter Center with “Plainsong”. The second song in the encore at the end of the night was indeed “Faith”. Needless to say, this was a very memorable day. It is these kind of events that make Remains and all that music stuff I do worthwhile."
