If this show was anywhere in the USA I would be there..Faith is one of my all time favorite albums. I think it would translate well live. Doubt also supposedly was never played live!

 

Shesh also on top of the awesome show the venue looks stunning and only holds 2500 or so!

Good news for folks in London, L.A. & NYC. I'll wait for the DVD or download the show from that link above....LOL. Is this one final push to get into the R & R HOF this year?

 

THE CURE “REFLECTIONS” - SEVEN FINAL PERFORMANCES

 

Featuring THREE IMAGINARY BOYS (1979), SEVENTEEN SECONDS (1980) and FAITH (1981) played in their entirety.

This final chance to experience the "REFLECTIONS" show will happen in Europe at the Royal Albert Hall, London on Tuesday November 15th, and in the USA at the Pantages Theatre, LA on Monday 21st, Tuesday 22nd and Wednesday 23rd, and at the Beacon Theatre, NYC on Friday 25th, Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th.

How was the show?

 

Incedible and overwhelming. It is hard to take in 45 songs in one night but there were many, many highlights! The band sounded great. I loved the Three Imaginary Boys set as they sounded like a punk band. The 17 seconds album was also a treat hearing the keyboards being more prominent. Faith was also incredible. I really appricated Simon Gallups bass work throughout the night but here espically. Before the show I bought a $20 tour tshirt! Woot! Great night...thanks for asking..i can't wait for the DVD to relive the expierecne! :guitar
