    I have been to 3 Cure concerts amd have never been dissapointed. Always value for money. Long concerts. Good sound. Spacy as hell.

    Definitely one of the, if not *THE* best live bands ever....
    I have managed to see them 3 times i my life, once in High School, when they came to Hampton, once at William & Mary College, when they came on the *Wish Tour,* probably my favorite show, and once more recently, when me and my little brother drove all the way to Maryland to see them. The first show was *AMAZING* because I was still a teenager, the second show was *UNBELIEVABLE* because it was a great venue at the college auditorium, and I got to get right at the stage, the third show was actually a little bit of a letdown, if I am truthful because the show was *WAY OVERSOLD* and we ended up having to watch from a *LONG* way away, on the hill, and could not really even see the band. Then again, *The Cure* sell out quick, but if you get the chance, *which may be running short now,* as they are getting pretty old now, without question you *NEED* to see these guys live!!

      I think alot of their early pop stuff from "Three Imaginary Boys" didn't really hit alot of people and if you didn't catch them after that probably missed them. Though I do enjoy TIB, I personally didn't really get into the Cure until "Seventeen Seconds".... Then they backed it up with "Faith".... Damn.... Every next venture was epic for them.... The next six put out after "Faith" were great (especially Disintegration)...

    Not only have I seen them live, I saw the next two shows on this tour... this was recorded over 2 nights in Detroit in 1992, and then the next two nights were in Cleveland and Fairborn, Ohio. The Wish tour, they closed every show with A Forest and they were all fucking excellent versions like this... I then proceeded to wear out my VHS of Show, which is where this is taken from... I am super happy to see someone reacting to this, I can't say I would have ever imagined to see someone reacting to this. These shows were just so damn epic. The light show was on point, the band was at their peak... Yeah. I've seen them 4 times since then and it was great and all but it will never compare to this tour. Love the reaction. I don't want to click like cause it is at 69 right now though, lol.
    And nowadays they play a very boring, straighforward 6 and a half minute version of A Forest. It still sounds good, but they don't jam at all like they used to. I miss it.

    Check out Siouxsie and the Banshees “Nocturn” gig LIVE at The Royal Albert Hall from around 1983 - Siouxsie went through a lot of guitarists in the 80’s
    so Robert Smith stood in for a short period and played guitar at that show. It gives you an idea of how flexible and accomplished he is as a guitarist.
    Siouxsie used to teasingly call him “ the pop star” because of the chart success he had had with The Cure. 😂
