The band opened the show with\u00a0\u00abAlone\u00bb, from their recent album\u00a0\u00abSongs of a Lost World\u00bb, while Robert Smith slowly walked on stage and surveyed the audience as if he wanted to acknowledge each person in the audience. Then they continued with the usual suspects:\u00a0\u00abPictures of You\u00bb, \u00abHigh\u00bb, \u00abLovesong\u00bb, \u00abFascination Street\u00bb, \u00abIn Between Days\u00bb, \u00abJust like Heaven\u00bb\u00a0and\u00a0\u00abA Forest\u00bb.\u00a0A very atmospheric but slow first half of the show.<\/p>\n
Things became more upbeat and alive during the encore.\u00a0\u00abThe Lovecats\u00bb, \u00abThe Walk\u00bb, \u00abFriday I\u2019m in Love\u00bb, \u00abClose to Me\u00bb\u00a0and\u00a0\u00abBoys Don\u2019t Cry\u00bb\u00a0gave a final boost to the crowd. A great way, yet predictable, way to finish the show.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Robert Smith\u2019s voice sounded great, and even if he doesn\u2019t say much between songs, his charm is undeniable. The rest of the band members were also in great shape with the recent addition of Eden Gallup (Simon Gallup\u2019s son) on guitar and keyboards.<\/p>\n
The Cure have a vast catalogue, and they are well known to deliverer long sets of 30+ songs which usually covers most of the songs that people want to hear. Although last night\u2019s concert was a shorter set, it felt too much like a strange \u2018\u2019d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu\u2019\u2019 with an identical set design, projections and setlist as the 3 previous tours. Out of the 28 songs played last night, around 24 were part of the core setlist of the previous 3 visits. So it felt very refreshing to hear\u00a0\u00abalt.end\u00bb,\u00a0\u00abThe Last Day of Summer\u00bb, \u00abSecrets\u00bb\u00a0and\u00a0\u00abMint Car\u00bb.\u00a0In recent interviews, Robert Smith mentioned that the new album was finish, so it could have been nice to hear 2-3 new songs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Cure have blown my mind several times over the years; but last night they did not. Overall, it was a strong headline performance from a band that still knows exactly how to create an atmosphere, give a great show and connect with its loyal audience\u2026 But\u2026 4.5\/6<\/p>\n
