I use to think that The Cure created somewhat simplistic alternative rock music. However after seeing them perform live the talent of all the band members really stood out. It’s a testament to their music creating abilities. I guess I assumed their music was a bit simplistic purely because of the fact that it sounds so right. Weak explanation, I know. The highly tuned skill that each member of The Cure exudes with their chosen instrument is nothing short of amazing. The guitar expertise is most noticeable. The accompanying light show filled the BEC and added to the whole experience (albeit slightly annoying at times, I don’t particularly like lights that shine directly into my eyes. The crowd was a mix of the old fans from the early 80’s right through to teens that probably have only just discovered The Cure. Like I said, “This was an experience”.
