The Cure: London 2006

 

 

Review

 

 

Firs of all I think is great with all their defects that the band played in a charity show like this one, well now the facts, in 2005 tired of 14 years of blindness and deafness, Mr. Smith went tired of Mr. Mediocrity  (Worst ever guitar player) Bamonte and from his Siamese twin, Mr. Roger (I cant write a single note for an album even to save my stupid ass) O’Donell, and with that the band become a trio, but really fast they brought back Porl (The Cure Guitar God) Thompson, and things started moving again, over 2005 they played some festivals but the band still sounded not compacted, now in this one the only show from 2006, the band delivered an awesome show of almost 40 songs, without keyboards and the fact is who needs them? They sound rawer, fresh, with hunger for a new status, one of the best ever shows and the recording is amazing.

 

Note from the taper:

 

This is from the master copy of my personal recording of this concert. Recorded from Section Circle X, Row 1. I was able to clip the mics on the outside of the balcony, thereby lessening any crowd noise during songs. Over 3 hours of the Cure!!!
