The Cure live in Arnhem Netherlands
 Evenementen-terrein bij de Rijnhal 
June 23rd 1981 - The Picture Tour



This is an EXCELLENT quality recording of one of the earlier dates of the picture tour.
Little something to get you ready for the reflections show :)
This is digitized from a first generation tape, and the quality shows that.
The master must've been insane, because even the first gen sounds incredible.

Setlist:
The Holy Hour, In Your House, The Drowning Man, 
10:15 Saturday Night, Accuracy. The Funeral Party
M, Primary, Other Voices, All Cats Are Grey,
Three IMaginary, Boys, At Night
Fire in Cairo, Play for Today
A Forest, Faith

The Cure live in Paris, France - 1992-10-21 Audio Download

The Wish Tour live in Paris
Night 3, October 21st 1992
The Wish Tour, Night 3 in Paris France, at the Zenith to download.
The download links are down below all the reminiscing and pictures



Good setlist including The Big Hand and Forever. These were legendary shows. 
The Wish tour had improved by the time that it hit Europe, but the paris shows,
 while living in the showdow of some other performances (the finale in london and 
a few others) were still something very special. The three were recorded for official 
release by the band somewhat as a darker accompaniment to "show" So alot of great songs 
got their full glory over the three night @ the Zenith. Including a superb version of Faith 
on the night before. This, the third and final night, closed with one of the epic 
1992 versions of a Forest into Forever.

The quality on this recording is EXCELLENT.
You can find the download links closer to the bottom of the page
under the setlist and pictures.

I would like to thank the wonderful Autumn @ picturesofyou.us for allowing use 
of the photo at the top of the page. I would also like to thank Carl if he's still 
out there for sharing his photos of this show!

Setlist:
shake dog shake, high, pictures of you, lullaby, just like heaven, the big hand, one hundred years, apart, a letter to elise, doing the unstuck, let's go to bed, friday i’m in love, inbetween days, from the edge of the deep green sea, never enough, cut, end,

Roger O'Donnell and Lol Tolhurst to Reunite with the Cure for Sydney 'Reflections' Concerts

"NEVER SAY NEVER"
 IT'S OFFICIAL!!

2011 will see both Roger O'Donnell and Lol Tolhurst returning to the Cure for two special shows @ Vivid Live

TheCure “Reflections”
Three Imaginary Boys (1979)
The Cure Trio: Robert Smith (voice & guitar), Simon Gallup (bass), Jason Cooper (drums)

Seventeen Seconds (1980)
The Cure Quartet: Robert Smith (voice & guitar), Simon Gallup(bass), Jason Cooper (drums), Roger O’Donnell (keys)

Faith (1981)
The Cure Quintent: Robert Smith (voice & guitar), Simon Gallup(bass), Jason Cooper (drums), Roger O’Donnell (keys & percussion), LaurenceTolhurst (keys & percussion)





THE CURE “REFLECTIONS”added to line up for stephen PAVLOVIC’S VIVID LIVE at Sydney Opera house
Sydney Opera House today announced that the curator of Vivid LIVE, Stephen Pavlovic has secured one of the world’s most enduringly influential bands, The Cure to perform for Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House. Appearing onstage with a uniquely evolving line-up of band members past and present, The Cure “Reflections” will see the band perform their first three albums live, in their entirety, in an extraordinary concert experience exclusively for Vivid LIVE on May 31 and June 1.
While punk was still reverberating through popular culture, The Cure’s unique blend of moody, atmospheric and unforgettable songs pioneered a new era in popular music and marked them forg reatness from the start. Their strong sense of theatricality and unique styling gave birth to entirely new subcultures and new generations continue to discover their signature sound and make it the soundtrack to their lives.
The Cure have toured Australia many times but have never attempted a show such as this on our shores.  Hear how they became the voice of generations with three releases that etched them into our consciousness. From the punchy, offbeat, starkly unadorned songs of Three Imaginary Boys, through the increasingly shadowy and quixotic pieces of SeventeenSeconds, to the singular melancholic grandeur of Faith, this is a rare chance to experience the origins of one of popular music’s greatest stories.
Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House (May 27– June 5) is a curated music festival and is part of Vivid Sydney (May 27 – June 13), the city’s annualfestival of light, music and ideas. Following on from Brian Eno (2009) and Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson(2010), Australia’s Stephen “Pav” Pavlovic of Modular has taken the reigns as curator for this unique event for 2011.
Vivid LIVE curator Stephen Pavlovic says "From my teenage years to the present day, The Cure have always been one of the most inspiring bands I have ever come across. To have the opportunity to include them in the line up is anhonour equal to curating VividLIVE"

The Cure’s Robert Smith says, “Vivid LIVE is an exceptional event, and we are very excited to be taking part. We have played a lot of memorable shows in Australia – we first performed here in 1980, and this will be our seventh trip – but it will be our first time onstage in the Sydney Opera House, and we want to do something unique to mark the occasion. Combining Cure members past and present in a live filmed interpretation of our first three albums feels to me like it should do the trick!”
The Cure join an incredible line up of local and international artists including Spiritualized, Bat for Lashes, Chris Cunningham, The Avalanches, Sonny Rollins, Yo Gabba Gabba!, WU LYF, OFWGKTA and 2manydjs and more.

Out of this World - Live in Munich Germany, April 9th 2000

So while we wait for the news to come from Robert. In between frantically refreshing twitter, thecure.com, and COF, I'm working on sharing a really nice Dream Tour DVD with you all.

This is a preview of it. I'll be sharing with the complete DVD you, possibly later today, but more than likely it will be up tomorrow. Once I find a good app to convert the DVD without losing much of the quality it will go up. This is very very VERY nice document of the dream tour, the picture is clear as day, the closeups are incredible, the audio is also very nice, and I'm not sure which program to convert it with.....

For now here's part of Adagio for Strings and Out of this World for now:

The Cure live at the Rosklide Festival, June 30th 1995

Rosklide June 30th 1995

The Cure live at the Rosklide Festival in Rosklide Denmark. The band performed in front of 110,000 people sharing the stage with REM, Suede, and Elvis Costello, among others.
This was part of a festival tour in the summer of 95 bringing together the Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Roger O'Donnell, Perry Bamonte, Jason Cooper lineup together that would go on to play many epic shows throughout the next seven years, and beyond.


Fans were treated to hearing the upcoming Wild Mood Swings tracks live for the first times at the summer festivals of 95.

Rosklide's setlist was:
Want, Fascination Street, A Night Like This, Pictures of You, Lullaby, Just Like Heaven, Trust, Jupiter Crash, High, Dressing Up, The Walk, Lets go to Bed, A Strange Day, Push, Mint Car, Friday I'm in Love, Inbetween Days, From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea, Shiver and Shake, Disintegration, End, Close to me, Why Can't I Be You, Charlotte Sometimes, A Forest.

The video unfortunately does not include the second encore. It starts out shaky, but becomes steady a bit into it. Split into four parts, and about 200MB each in .mp4 files. 
I am looking for a better video encoder to share some more DVDs with you, any recommendations would be appreciated.


Some Screenshots, and the download links can be found below them.
