The Cure: Primavera Sound 2012
Review
There is a webcast version with 1/3 of the
songs included, this one is the full show as audience recording, clear sound
for an open air shows, with a little bit windy and hollow sound, but being
honest well recorded for the conditions, the only weak point are screamers
around the taper, not too much but hearable enough to point it. Now the
performance, again the band sounds too mature, yes they are mature but their guitars
not and they had been using no effects on them since Porl’s departure and that creates too much spaces on the
songs, they sound too basic.
A really nice surprise was Just one Kiss played, if not the best version still enjoyable, also
is really nice that with the years the band plays longer sets, if only they had
the right line up this will be delirious.
