 Great DVD January 30, 2007

I'm not a writer, so I'll dispense with the review. If you're a Cure fan, you'll love it.

This is the worst Cure release ever. When you watch this you'll be saying to yourself "Where are the keyboards???". It's a shame the band got rid of Roger, he is sorely missed. Bringing back guitarist Porl Thompson does nothing for the band here either. He offers nothing new or interesting and doesnt do any better of a job than recently sacked guitarist Perry Bamonte. The songs on here are mangled, lifeless and boring. Pick up the Trilogy DVD to truely see the once great Cure live. Avoid this dog like the plague.

comprehensive, powerful sights and sounds from innovators who still sound great after all these years.
The Cure back to basics. January 3, 2007

This is essentially a stripped down version of the band without the keyboards, sounding more like they did back in the early days. The Cure is no stranger to small lineups, starting out as only a 3 piece and evolving from there. So going from the previous 5-man lineup to the current 4 is really nothing new. This is a return to the raw Cure sound that started it all- just guitar, bass, and drums.
Returning guitarist Porl Thompson does a pretty good job filling in for the lack of keyboard by adding additional effects and riffs to his playing. Some of the more popular songs suffer without the keyboard, but older tunes like Figurehead, Drowning Man, and M are just killer.
The video is a combination of pro-shot footage mixed with some fan-shot footage, giving you somewhat of a feeling of the real live experience. Naturally the quality is going to vary, but it's mixed fairly well with a few special effects thrown in to keep it interesting throughout. I especially liked the mix of widescreen and full screen visual overdubbing in Fascination Street.
This DVD may not be as 'polished' as the others, but it's about as raw and real as the Cure gets. Enjoy it for what it is, another unique and brief moment in time for this great band.
Great Show! January 16, 2007

I bought this for my wife who is a avid Cure fan and is very blunt on whether she likes something or not. She LOVES this DVD! Worth the buy and Bob's voice never waviers. Buy this!
