Rare dvd in digipak cover

If a band sticks around long enough, it can headline a festivalof its disciples. That´s what the Cure is doing with its CuriosaFestival featuring bands that have been hand picked by Robert Smithhimself. Over 25,000 Floridians braved the heat to see the kick offof the Curiosa Festival 2004 in West Palm Beach on Saturday, July24th, where this dvd was recorded. Music fans from all over thestate gathered to hear The Cure perform a set that included suchclassics as Fascination Street, Just Like Heaven, In Between Daysand new songs such as The End Of The World, the current single offtheir new self-titled set which was released on I Am/Geffen Recordson June 29th and debuted at # 7 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. TheCure showed us in the late 70s that a man could be vulnerable andemotional, but giving those feelings a new kind of voice: RobertSmith´s quivering, almost androgynous yelp, desperately blurtingout its need. Two decades later, the Cure would turn out to be acornerstone of Emo, the collegiate rock in which hypersensitiveguys tell all. And there were alot of Emo kids in the audience thisnight. The Cure performed songs that were both personal and aboutpolitical alienation. Mr. Smith writes songs with lyrics that mightlook mawkish on the page, often bemoaning the loves that got away.He promises endless, boundless love that just won´t stop after abreakup; it gnaws at him, as the music piles up layer upon layer,taking its time. His songs have become doomed-romantic anthems fora generation of high-school and college students. Some songs areneat matrixes of short pop hooks; in others, a bass line tollswhile guitars create fogbanks of distortion. And every so often, alyric glimpses the outside world; a new one, "Us or Them," lashedout at war and bigotry, insisting, "There is no terror in myheart." Onstage, with lights that gave Mr. Smith a saintly aura,the Cure´s music reached a genuine grandeur, turning romantictorment into its own lush sanctuary. The set list was a binge ofaural elegance spanning multiple albums, from Disintegration´sFascination Street, Love Song and Pictures of You to songs fromPornography, Wish, and more. Few, if any, modern songwriters candissect the intricacies of love, the infinite variations ofanticipation, connection, and separation, the highs and the lows,the way Smith can. It can be as comfortable as the warm, hearthside"Lovesong" or as infuriating as "Disintegration". The other fourCures - all clad in black, bassist Simon Gallup frequently bouncingaround like he was in the Clash - matched Smith´s lyrical intensitymeasure for measure. The Cure often sounds like the end of theworld, a topic Smith is evidently fond of, as it appeared in bothlovely Plainsong and new, appealingly chipper "The End of theWorld." For Smith, the absence of love is the end of the world - orworse.
