    Just saw them in PHX last Thursday, and they aren’t diminished even slightly. As a live band the Cure is in full possession of their fastball, and the fact that Robert sounds as good as he ever did sets them apart from almost every other band that has been performing for 30-40 years. I love that they cross so many genres, which just defies most groups’ capabilities. This tour set list is phenomenal, but Pictures, Forest, and especially Burn brought the house down.

      Really? I've always thought The Cure's first 15 years was WAAAAY better than the past 30 years. I couldn't name a single hit song of theirs since "Friday I'm In Love" in 1992. They were consistently great up until then. Not so great since then.

      I need to hear it on a better stereo than my cellphone. His bass sounds very skeletal and I can't hear Robert well.They played an amazing version of this and 100 years in New Orleans in 1999.They didn't have Reves,who is incredible. But they ruled.Sadly I never got to see them with Porl.I saw em again in New Orleans a few years ago with Reves and they were incredible.Robert plus a world class #2 guitarist is awesome. But when Robert doesn't have Reves or Porl,his epic skills get showcased even more.
      Ive seen the Cure twice. PIL 4 times(89,12,15,18)and Ministry multiple times. I regret never seeing New Order although I have seen Peter Hook and the Light twice,and made 2 pilgrimages to Manchester to honor Joy Division/New Order.
      If you are an old fart like me and haven't seen any or all of these legendary acts I mentioned,do it.If you are a youngin,go see what real music is,as opposed to dubstep or mumble rap(no offense,i like electronic music and good rap)-or whatever new unoriginal shit that is popular these days

    I feel this was played as a nod to all the core fans like us as against the audience who may have been hoping to hear Lovesong or Friday. 😎
    Like I read in their biography Never Enough, this is a song that can continue as long as Robert and Simon wants it to, the closest I can explain is like seeing a segment of an endless winding snake, there is a sort of a beginning, but there really is no end.
    So incredibly atmospheric 💖
