I was also here and cried the first 4 songs. I will forever love Robert. My young girl inner emo child was over joyed finally seeing him live. Took me 30+ years but I finally saw him. 🥰

[@joewalker3908]

Saw them in Atlanta last year, still as good as they were back in '95

[@aarongoldberg8963]

I was there also it was a magic night

[@Darkness7309]

For me, Robert Smith is and remains one of the best live singers I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. You can "compare" many a band or musician, but The Cure cannot be compared with anyone because they are a unique band and they have been transporting this into the hearts and souls of us fans for decades. His voice is still the same after so many years. The Cure is simply cult

[@kellkat220]

I take every opportunity to see them live. I have seen them over 15x's and it's never enough.

[@judygarland7611]

I see what you did there! 🤩🤩🤩

[@tillwesenberg1178]

They get better every f''king day. 🤩🎶 What a catalogue, what great musicians, every single one of them, including the great Reeves Gabrels. ❤

[@japan906]

They’re so beautifully alive and full of humility, energy, hope and love.

[@eddiemuniz761]

The only unfortunate thing is that the hands of time take you on and smack you in the face!!!!!!

[@kelleykirven7541]

It's like a giant hug

[@antonytwining6951]

Ethereal, fleeting, lofty, transient, grandiose and unique are words that I would use to describe the indescribable music of TheCure

[@judygarland7611]

EDGE OF DEEP GREEN SEA! HIS VOCALS ARE OFF THE CHAIN MAN. WOW! HIS VOCAL RANGE IS SO INCREDIBLE AND STILL HITS EVERY NOTE PERFECTLY. THANKS FOR POSTING. ONE OF MY FAVE GROUPS. MY FAVES FROM SET LIST ARE: 1- NIGHT LIKE THIS 2-FASCINATION STREET AND THEN 3- EDGE OF DEEP GREEN SEA.

[@chrisphillips7943]

The greatest band ever!!! Thanks again.

[@iPhoneProjectHouston]

Agree! Thank you for watching. Please share

[@redkeyrestorations4862]

I wouldn't say that...

[@derekware6]

Wrapped up my fifth time seeing them this year at riot fest. Grew up with my parents playing the Cure and have been a fan ever since. This show was truly spectacular. The crowd and the energy was unparalleled. It was an ethereal experience.

[@olmabalt5924]

Sounds brilliant and looks great just like decades back. Something unbreakable in this world. Thanks for sharing!

[@iPhoneProjectHouston]

So true! Thanks for your comment.

[@danadoozer9990]

I love the way you put that! Unbreakable!❤

[@soumentalukder4750]

I officially became a fan after seeing one of their back-to-back Atlanta shows a few months ago 😎

[@iPhoneProjectHouston]

Great tour! We attended in Houston. Amazing

[@drendansmada]

I was at ATL night 2, best show Ever!

[@steve261brown]

@@drendansmadaThink they are all best shows ever, it is what The Cure do. BEST LIVE BAND .

[@kelleykirven7541]

I was there for the first night and it made me feel better about being alive. Rs, the rest of the band, the audience, was just such a cathartic relief

[@leokimvideo]

Roberts performing better now Vs a few years ago. He seems happier but still has that amazing emotional edge when needed.

[@sauerk5273]

i used to watch you so much as a kid, it makes me happy seeing your comments on many videos i watch

[@kelliefritze8208]

Best show Ive ever seen!!!!

[@iPhoneProjectHouston]

Yes! Truly amazing

[@danadoozer9990]

Yes!!!! Same here! I've been waiting for 35 years to see them and I was moved to tears a few times!

[@Manicprogressive1]

I saw the Cure in 1989, 1992, 2014 (Riot Fest), Dublin under moonlit sky at Malahide Castle in 2019, and twice in Chicago in 2023. And this, THIS show, was the best of them all. ❤

[@joewalker3908]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written

[@Drhilde72]

THANK YOU for posting! I have been an absolute CURE fan since i first played a fresh "Dintegration" through its entirety as a high schooler, I couldn't hit stop....now 35 some years later, with gray hair, I love seeing the 3 imaginary boys, now 6, doing their magical art on stage or wherever! Blessed to see their show in SLC in June '23. I agree with everyone, this tour, era, and album are absoultely %@&#ing EPIC! DREAMING I might someday see "The Same Deep Water as You" played live in person....Oh to Wish Impossible Things...

Maaaannn...I missed this because I had another concert on the north side of Chi. The Cure was the only band that I really wanted to see out of the whole fest so I got so salty/bummed out. Big thank you to you for filming and posting this.

[@BoratWanksta]

I was lucky enough to see this, live last Setpember. I felt a little sad skipping the Godspeed You Black Emperor set to listen to this show(their set time conflicted with when this occurred at), but it was worth it. Maybe another day, I'll get to see GYBE live. Glad someone uploaded this, so I can relisten to this show.

Yes, they really are a great band.!!((((

[@herveandre3810]

FIRST, BIG HUGS ANG THANK YOU FOR THE BRILLIANT VIDEO Robert is a true poet and never fails to deliver the best of him emotionally! I was lucky to see him many times but the last concert I saw from the LOST WORLD concert was probably the darkest, emotionally charge (Robert had a couple of times tears while singing … Well did I too 😊 He took us through a PORNOGRAPHY JOURNEY and some new song, one for this brother, I CAN NEVER SAY GOODBYE turned to be as he mentions, “It was five years today he died” no wonder this set was so heavy, himself confirmed the “unusual set BUT also in a spare a moment confirmed : It is FUCKING GREAT” WHICH for hardcore fans like me was PURE HONEY, it was in FRANCE, TOULOUSE 13 NOV 22. Part 1: concert without the encores: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWfPmICwjZ6KbqM Part 2 : first encore : kzbin.info/www/bejne/narYap1_msx4mas Mentioning right at the beginning this new song was for his brother… Part 3 : second encore : kzbin.info/www/bejne/npqUY4eifNSha9U Part 4: FAITH live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/in7Jg36Er517fZo Apologies for the long comment but for those who have been followings the cure for decades, I think you are for a treat!!! ENJOY MY DEAR CURE FRIENDS XXX. CHERRY ON THE CAKE AS EXPLAINS IN SOME COMMENTS and PRESS AS BEEN THE BEST CONCERT IN FRANCE OF THE TOUR :)

[@jayraibourn1941]

Things just get better and better.. Apart from the Gallup-ing bassist who for the last 40 years keeps on trying to become relevant

[@ukpitts]

I hate to be critical of The Cure, BUT - Jason makes pretty much all the drum parts and patterns sound wooden and flat. Where has the drive, swing and groove that Andy and Boris brought to the drum platform gone? Jason is obviously not incompetent - but for me, his playing lacks `feel` and nuance. None the less - long live The Cure !

[@toddbaldwin7031]

I thought he was awsome...

[@KaiPonte]

good video, but TERRIBLE sound. not listenable.

Really? I have not heard of any sound issues before your comment. Do you know which song or chapter you had a problem with? I’d be happy to look into this for you. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@KaiPonte]

@@iPhoneProjectHouston It is simply too heavy on the bass and no high notes. Listen to one of the other bootlegs, you'll understand. Again, thank you for uploading. I saw them in Los Angeles and love the new songs.

Sounds like they're tired playing their own songs.
