The Cure: New Orleans '96 

 

Review

 

 Well if you are a regular visitor of these pages you know how much I hate this album and this line up, and here we have a good audience recording with oh my god!!!!, 12 of the 14 songs from the horrible WMS and Gone one of the few excellent tracks from that era is not included so you can hear the rest of the boring songs, the sound is almost perfect except for the end of Prayers for rain there is a mini skip of 3 seconds and In between days that sounds bad probably the DAT or Mini disc recorder was moving all the time. For me the sad part are the covers I designed them and they are great, the sad part is great covers for a horrible era, but probably you love this era and believe that the New Cure is great and Robert is a genius so this one is for you and includes my great artwork.

Let's go to bed was played with the foot because is the worst version I have ever heard, The 13th sounds great, the NEW SONG in fact is all I want to do is kill her but I heard it really bad so I didn’t notice that is the same song from M bootleg, please excuse me for the misinformation.
