During a concert in London, broadcast live, The Cure played their new album in its entirety, as well as tracks from “ Seventeen Seconds “.
The Cure celebrated the release of their new album Songs of a Lost World Friday, during a London concert broadcast live.
During the three-hour concert, which followed a concert at the BBC two days previously, Robert Smith and his band performed the new album in order and in its entirety. It was the first time they played ” War Song “, “ Drone:Nodrone ” And ” All I Ever Wanted » live.
The rest of the setlist included hits and select tracks from the band's extensive catalog, as well as a section dedicated to the album's 45th anniversary Seventeen Seconds. On this occasion, they performed the title “ Secrets » for the first time since 2011.
The 31-song concert ended with an encore including “ Friday I'm in Love “, “ Close to Me ” And ” Boys Don't Cry “.
“ Robert Smith therefore ended up putting an end to a suspense that was becoming more unbearable every day among the disciples-apostles of this treatment, whose treatment course Dr. Smith has continually recomposed for almost half a century.wrote Xavier Bonnet in his review, calling the album “ requiem as celestial as it is dangerously irresistible “.
On the very day of the album's release, Robert Smith once again spoke about his fight for affordable concert rates, criticizing dynamic pricing in particular.
