Great Swing Tour Video, Live footage, Interview, and Documentary on the lighting

- The Cure - 

The Swing Tour

 Live In Las Vegas

Friday August 9th 1996

Found this today in another box of achived cure crap.
This is a very interesting broadcast from the Las Vegas Swing tour show.
Has several parts, I split it into two files.
Not really your typical Cure broadcast.....

• Part of it is an Interview with Robert.
• Another part of it is an Interview with the Lighting Company who did the light production for the Swing Tour.
• The live footage was filmed August 9th 1996 at the Thomas and Mack Center, Las Vegas NV.
• Songs broadcasted include: Club America, Want, Inbetween Days, Disintegration, and Treasure.

The Cure - Mexico City 2004 - Night 2 - Video

Here is a 2 part video of the second night in Mexico City 2004.

Amazing show. That incredible scene during Faith with all the lighters is captured on the second part.

It is not the complete show, but amounts to about two hours of footage.


" But it was when they played Faith when a magical moment occurred. In Mexico we use to turn on our lighters in “slow” songs, following the drum beats (such as you can see in U2’s Pop Mart in Mexico DVD when Bono says “lights of… lights on”, I think it was when they played “I still haven’t found…”). And this time we did it again. It’s difficult to describe, but it’s like if thousand of stars were glowing inside the place. Robert and the guys were thrilled, I can tell you that. I don’t know if they have seen anything like this before, but they seemed astonished. At the end of the song, Roger finished his part and stand aside the stage just to see for a few moments this spectacle. He excited, with this big smile on his face such as a little kid when he’s looking a big candy or so. Incredible. Robert seemed also surprised, I even can tell he was shocked, stunned. "

Thanks to Craig and his COF Archive for this old review and the picture above.

The Cure - May 31st Greek Theatre, Los Angeles CA

05.31.2000 - The Greek Theatre, Los Angeles CA, Night two, Dream tour

California Cure shows are always special, and 99% of the time blow away the performances anywhere else in the USA. This one was absolutely no exception. It surpassed my expectations and was one of the best shows I've been too. The encores were fantastic, the band was on, was a great night and will remain one of the great memories of the dream tour for me.
