I was lucky enough to attend the first night of Reflections. I flew into Sydney on the day from Launceston, Tasmania – Australia’s island state for those who don’t know. As it happens I ended up sitting next to the only other Cure fan on the flight – a great way to lead into the night as it increased the anticipation. We wondered what the encores would be. The answer the Cure gave exceeded my expectations!! (I’m Cold, Splintered in Her Head etc.) Even after seeing on COF that Splintered had been done in soundcheck I didn’t believe they would play it. Once I got to Sydney I went straight to the SOH – I wanted the ticket in my hand. Checked in to my hotel one train stop away, and back to Circular Quay to soak up the atmosphere over a few drinks. I was seated in a box circle C seat – Simon’s side of the stage – in front of but looking down to the side of the stage. The show was phenomenal. I’ve only been to a handful of Cure shows - Wish tour being the first. This was easily the best and I feel privileged to have seen it. I was sitting next to a guy who had been a fan since Three Imaginary Boys but this was his first Cure concert – not bad for a first time but how do you Top that? (pun intended). The reaction from the crowd, the venue, the setlist, the Fenders! – ha - all made it special. Not to mention seeing Roger and Lol on stage. In my (humble) opinion Jason was awesome. My highlights were unexpected – Other Voices is not necessarily one of my fave’s but it was a highlight for me – Lol’s percussion throughout the Faith set added great depth. Subway song – seeing Robert on harmonica. I never thought I’d hear I’m Cold and for a few seconds I have to admit I didn’t even recognise it! Hearing Robert say “I never liked that one” after Object made me smile – as did Robert messing up the words on Lovecats just before the line “..dumb as this” and pointing to himself. My only regret not being able to go to night two but I will be waiting for the DVD with excitement...
ReplyDeletei have been listening to the cure for over 20 years. i have seen them close to 25 times and listened to thousands of live shows but these two shows don't sound right. something is off and i can't quite put my finger on it. i haven't listened to the whole show yet, just a few songs off you tube, but enough to know that something just isn't right with "the cure sound". i don't know, maybe it's me. i'm still thrilled they played these shows and can't wait for the official release.
ReplyDeletedaveos, fantastic! good for you i'm so glad you enjoyed yourself. it sounds like it was really a sensational evening :)
ReplyDeletedavid, i've been a cure fan for as long but i didn't feel anything was "wrong" at all. think they sounded fantastic. easily as good as anytime i've seen them live. certainly the dynamic was different with the line-up changes.
David,
ReplyDeleteThe difference is 33 years. Different sounds but overall the atmosphere was better than I could have imagined.
The quality on youtube will never do justice wait for the DVD.
the sound on the night was amazing. In my 25 years of listening to The Cure I did not think I would hear this collection played as it was in SOH and to hear them in such an amazing venue was even more of a privilege.
For those who did not make it I really hope the DVD was recorded in very high quality sound so you can get the feelings we had being there.
It was great to meet up with the other cure fans on the night also.
This is one I will NEVER forget :-)
iTS A DIFFERENT TIME AND UR A DIFFERENT PERSON AND NO MATTER WHAT rOBERT JUST CANT SING THE WAY HE USED TO.....BUT I BELIEVE HE DOES TRY TO MAKE ACCURATE ADJUSTMENTS THE HIGHER VOICE ISNT EASY TO KEEP UP NIGHT AFTER NIGHT LIKE IT USED TO BE AND ROBERT DOES TEND TO SING EVERYTHING RATHER FLAT AND MORE EVENLY FROM SONG TO SONG...PRODUCTION IN A STUDIO DOES MAKE THOSE THINGS POSSIBLE...I THINK AGE HAS ALOT TO DO WITH IT BECAUSE WITH AGE COMES MORE CONFIDENCE BUT LESS OF AN EDGE AND THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO PLAY AND MAKE IT UP AS THEY GO BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE TALENT AND EXPERIENCE TO DO SO. I SAW THE CURE IN THE JKUST THE 80'S ALONE 14 TIMES AND THEY DON'T SOUND ANYTHING THE SAME. THE CURE IS STILL AN AMAZING BAND THE GREATEST, BUT TIME PASSES AND THINGS DO EVOLVE AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, WITH AGE YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO BE LOSING SOMETHING. i CAN SAY AFTER 47 SHOWS NOW OVER 29 YEARSD THAT THEY ARE STILL THE BEST LIVE BAND CONSIDERING ROBERT DOESN'T JUMP AROUND AND TRY TO ENGAGE THE BAND WITH SCREAMING AND ALL THAT NONSENSE!!!!
ReplyDeleteMIGHT I ADD THAT I THINK THIS COMMUNITY IS VERY FAITHFUL AND VERY INTIMATE AND ALTHO I HAVEN'T COMMENTED ALOT ON THIS BLOG I DO TUNE IN EVERY DAY AND HAVE DONE SO SINCE ITS INCEPTION. I FEEL LEFT OUT WHEN SO MANY OF YOU SEEM TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE I FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE AMOUNGST THOSE OF YOU AS WELL...I'M SURE I HAVE SEEM ALOT OF YOU AS I HAVE CHASED THEM AROUND TOO. CRAIG YOU ARE A GEM AND I LOVE THE FACT THAT I CAN TURN TO YOU TO HELP ME BE IN THE KNOW ON MY FAVOURITE BAND, ROBERT SMITH AND THE BANSHEES...LOL..J/K THE CURE.I CAN'T WAIT TIL THIS DVD COMES OUT.
ReplyDeleteThe sound inside the venue was absolutely massive and powerful. No camera will ever be able to reproduce it, but you may want to invest in a serious set of surround sound speakers if you want to hear a good approximation.
ReplyDelete@David: it's probably because the "cure sound" you're more familiar with (90/00/10) is way different than this.
ReplyDelete(Sorry for the comment in a review-only section)
A million miles and worlds away . . . the sweetest perfection. 30 hours in the air for the most incredible and unforgettable 56 hours on the ground. The tastes of Sydney (Paulaner at The Argyle, Gentree Shiraz at Pony, lattes at Guylian, vegetarian omelets at Jet Café) were most delicious and the show was EPIC – from the front row directly in front of Robert’s mic! Those 45 songs played that way will never be replicated. Charlotte Sometimes alone was worth the trip. But it was the beautiful people – friends old and new, near and far – that made the trip the most special ever. A dream truly come true. I can’t wait for Argentina!
ReplyDeleteJust got back home from Sydney. I went to both shows with no remorse... :) I went to the ticket master booth and picked up the tickets on Monday. Tuesday, I went to the Opera booth and tickets were still available for the first night. I was impressed with the exterior of the opera house, but not so much with the interior. It felt like any other concert hall given how grand the exterior. Although at night, they turn on to what amounts to the most pretty/expensive computer screensaver that gets projected onto the sails of the opera house.
ReplyDeleteI hung out with a couple of COF from the states before the show started. It felt comforting knowing that I'm not the only one crazy enough to do this. When the band stepped onto the stage, I was surprise how well they all dressed. Usually RS would wear his baggy pants and black hoodie during his performance. This time, he looked like he was put together (by a professional, or a concerned Mary I don't know). It almost looks like he was wearing a black kelt/dress but I'm not sure from my distance.
The whole Three Imaginary Boys set felt rejuvenating with only RS/S/J playing. This must be what it's like when they first started out (or the closest I will get to knowing). When he whipped out the harmonica during Subway Song, that was surprising. Goth Dillon! The set sounded very sparse in a good way compared to what followed. RS used one guitar for each set they played.
After the break, Roger stepped and the crowd cheered, calling his name out. Best moment since I'm a Roger fan. He was grinning ear to ear for the whole Seventeen Seconds set. Roger had some great solo moments (Reflections, Secrets). I felt that he is finally at home again playing with The Cure after wondering for so many years. The Seventeen Seconds set sounds much richer and closer the the album compared to the dream tour. I hope having Roger sticks and I hope that Porl/Roger/Robert can all get along. It always feels like The Cure is a partial band without both Roger and Porl playing together. Perry did not fill that gap for me. Simon and Robert did the short version of A Forest (did not beat his bass to death at the end of the song as usual closer).
After the break, all members came out for the Faith set. Lol had a look of intense of "I'm going to get it right" clutching his mallet for The Holy Hour and hitting the gong at the correct moment. Some of the Faith set, both Roger and Lol dueled it at the keyboard adding for some intense atmosphere. When the DVD comes out, this will replace the Faith album as my goto Faith fix. I'm positive that this will be true for everyone else as well. It's was that good! This was the definitive definition of goth music at it's height. My small gripe is that they did not play the long version of Faith song. I wished they played Faith song like they did at the Shrine (also Simon's bday at that time).
OK, too long of a post now. For the encore, it was the first time I heard World War. I'm Cold was OK (make Craig feel better for not attending). Jumping Someone's directly followed by Another Journey was also amazing, and I have never heard that back to back live before. Both Roger and Lol played keyboard for the second encore. I was really sad when they played Lovecats because I knew that it was the end to a great show. Lovecats had the opposite effect for me.

ReplyDeleteWasn't lucky enough to have an encounter with the group. But i was lucky enough to spend five hours outside the stage door with a small group of remarkable and entertaining people who all had their own stories to share!
ReplyDeleteAs you can imagine, we all got peckish after a while so after the stage door's security guard had some pizza delivered we decided to order some ourselves!!
This small band of devotees consisted of people from all around the world: France, Finland, Japan, America and even a few from Australia like myself.. One of which I had only previously corresponded with on this very blog!!
I would be crazy not to admit how frustrating it was to be so close to something and not get a result, but to be able to see those shows on both nights knowing how high the odds were of getting tickets to begin with and the sacrifices made on a personal level to be able to get me to those shows (I love you so much Sarah!)not to mention the experiences I had! I'm still pinching myself to make sure it wasn't a dream!!
Did I mention how great that particular line-up was?!
Can we start a petition to have Roger back permanently........no?......well let me just say that having Roger back on keyboards is absolutely vital for the cure sound.
ReplyDeleteAnd the show was just magical.
I was lucky enough to see the Trilogy show (in Berlin) and then see these Sydney shows too. I think these new shows matched Berlin and that's saying something. The only tiny disappointment was that the setlist was identical on both nights. After the first night, I'd convinced myself that the second night's encore would be b'sides and singles from 84-87 (based on Robert's mumbled mention of "The Top" at the very end of the first night). Nevermind that though, the whole thing was fabulous. I have been a Cure fan since I first saw them in 1989, which means I never got to see Lol play with the band until these new shows. As a resident Sydneysider, I'm still gobsmacked that The Cure chose our city to play these shows.
ReplyDeleteI had reservations about attending these shows. This is more a personal review than a critical review. I hope that's OK. I first saw The Cure support the Banshees at the Hammersmith Odeon in September 1979 (before The Offer in 'So What' had even ended :-). Robert also joined the Banshees on-stage for one of the first times that night. I was in the front row and have a number of photos of the Banshees (with Robert) but not the Cure. I already had the Killing an Arab single but don't think Three Imaginary Boys had been released. I became an instant fan. The Cure made it to Australia in 1980 for the Seventeen Seconds tour and played a few shows in my home town Melbourne. One in particular was at the Prospect Hill hotel in front of a couple of hundred people at most. It was a great show much improved from the set I saw less than a year earlier in London. There's a tape circulating of that night and I have some great photos I took. That night my girlfriend and I took the band to a gay club called Mandate in St. Kilda where we partied till the early morning. The Cure were becoming very popular in Australia with TV interviews on kid's shows like Simon Townshend's Wonderworld and on their return in 1981 a TV performance of Primary on the very influential Countdown. I saw the Faith show at the Palais Theatre (preceded by the Carnage Visors film which should have been played this week and I hope makes it to the DVD) and was one of the 2000+ fans dancing in their seats. Soon after this I moved to Sydney where I worked as a promotions manager for CBS records who distributed Fiction in Australia. It was my job to promote the Pornography album and I managed to get Charlotte Sometimes on commercial FM radio and into the charts along with many plays of the videos for CS and Hanging Gardens on Australian TV. I knew they were about to go mega. No Cure tour in '82 but Robert did return to Australia with The Banshees. I met up with Siouxsie and Steve on the set of a Saturday morning music show called Sounds. I offered them a lift back to their hotel in Bondi (as they weren't happy with their record company guy) and invited me for breakfast. We were joined by Budgie and Robert. When Siouxsie told Robert I was working with CBS he said he'd just been informed that CBS was dropping Fiction and he was very mad and I was very upset. I was given a photographers pass to the gig and spent the show in the press pit. I have a few shots but spent most of the night dancing. The next day I was invited to the ABC studios to listen to a playback and mix of the 2JJ recording of the previous night. Then Sioux, Budgie, Steve, Robert and I wandered off into King's X to find something to eat. We tried to get into the Bourbon and Beef Steak and were refused entry as Siouxsie "looked like a prostitute". We wandered around for a while and then Robert said he was off for reasons I can't state here and the others just came back to my place for some food, lots of wine and Tom & Jerry cartoons. Siouxsie, Steve and Budgie signed a photo I had from backstage at the Odeon in 1979 and Robert added his signature the next day when I went to say goodbye to the band. Although I've met up with the Banshees a few times since I never again met Robert. I bought and loved all the Cure albums but nothing came close to the excitement of those first four albums. When they returned to Australia it was to play stadium shows which did not interest me after the intimacy of those early gigs.
ReplyDeletePart TWO
ReplyDeleteSo the Opera House, should I go? It was a relatively small venue with the albums I loved played without interruption of newer material and local (only 900 KM away as I now lived back in Melbourne) so I managed to get a ticket for the first night and drove to Sydney not knowing what to expect. You all know what was played and how but the emotions for me hearing the songs that had meant so much to me 30 years ago was overwhelming. I was transported back to my youth and fell in love with the Cure all over again. I loved the last encore because for me I was there when Hanging Garden turned into Let's Go To Bed and hearing Robert announce it was the discovery of acid which was very present in '82 changed The Cure forever. I managed to get a (better) seat for the second show and then had the pleasure to meet a wonderful group of new(er) fans and share 5 hours and some OK pizza outside the stage door. It's because of those fans that I'm on here. I think being with you and sharing your enthusiasm was better (for me at least) than being in the Green Room. Thanks for indulging me.
Even as I walked up to the SOH box office 3 hours before the second show to pick up my tickets, I couldn't quite let myself get too excited until I had my bum firmly planted on a seat inside the Opera House. After reading so many stories of people missing out on tickets, I felt so so lucky to be going to this amazing dream come true.
ReplyDeleteAnd the guys didn't disappoint.
It was a day/night/early morning my darling wife and I will never forget. The venue, the music, the fabulous people we met both during the show and after the show outside the Stage Door. We didn't quite make it to the 5 hour pizza party, but put in a solid 3 hour effort before the effects of a long day travelling from Adelaide and the diminishing prospect of actually seeing or meeting the band got the better of us. But in that time it was great to meet some truly devoted fans from all corners of the globe and share stories of our common passion...The Cure.
I'm still replaying highlights of the concert in my head over and over again so that the memories don't fade away just yet. The entire first set exceeded my expectations. Robert's guitar sound had an aggressive edge to it that fit the set perfectly, and the whole set was tight, confident and sounded great. And how happy I was to see Fenders, Fenders and more Fenders.
Throughout the night I kept finding myself looking away from the stage and then back again to try to convince myself that I was actually there in the room watching this incredible event.
I would have paid the ticket price to see the Faith set alone. It was the highlight of my night. Other Voices just blew me away, and when it came to The Drowning Man and Faith, words cannot describe the emotions. I have seen The Cure play 4 times now, but had to wait until this one to hear Faith. I had tears in my eyes all the way through the song (corny I know but it just happened).
Anyway, thank you guys for a wonderful show, and thank you to the people outside the Stage Door for being so friendly and making it a great end to a great night.
I did this trip on the cheap. Airline ticket free (army vet), Concert ticket free (some were comped to my company), hotel free (stayed with a friend). So that left me with the experience of the show. NOt bad but didn't feel like a Cure show. Felt scripted. There's nothing better than a Cure tour coming to your town, the energy and excitement, and it seems like this show was like a contracted job. The sound was ok, kind of empty though. I liked hearing songs live for the first time but still felt like a novelty. Bestival will be better, their next tour will be great. To those that didn't attend, your seat at home with DVD and surround sound will be actually better than attending and well worth the wait. And it will only cost you 25 bucks. HOw about that? Love you
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying these personal reviews.
ReplyDeleteLIKES AND LESSER LIKES
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about all these ageist views about the Cure not being as good live because they are older than they once were. I was totally blown away at how tight they played and just how hard they work on stage. The sound was fantastic. I thought 17 Seconds was the best album to listen to but I was really amazed at the job they did with Faith. The sound of the 5 piece was unreal. Just listen to All Cats are Grey to get an idea... The 4 encores they played could only be described as epic but were clearly done for the purposes of the DVD. I loved the version of Splintered in Her Head they played. Once again, having Lol and Roger on stage really made the version all the better.
Negatives - well none really. There was a few songs(b-sides) I would have loved to have heard but I will just have to wait intil they decide to do The Top live. - I believe Robert mentioned something about coming back to play the Top for a future show. (that would be amazing).
My only real genuine gripe was the Sydney crowd. I was amazed to see people sitting 5 rows from the front flicking through their Blackberry's during the encores. I guess you are always gonna get a few at "THE OPERA HOUSE"..... There seemed to be a few people who were dragged along on dinner dates that probably wont your average COF fan like me and you. WHAT THE!!!!
(did i mention that SOH staff deliberately left the front door to the premium ticket section open for anyone to get down to the front) THANKYOU SOH!! I watched the 3 albums from the back before coming down to the front - literally 10 metres away front Simon. - Brilliant!) - genuine Cure founds didn't seem to mind but a few people complained - party poopers.
Robert playing harmonica - awesome
ReplyDeleteReview from Cure1980:
ReplyDeleteI only decided to go to Sydney on the Thursday before the show - when I managed to confirm a ticket for the Tuesday night. Bizarrely, I had a Curerecords meet in London on the Friday night - so my week of Cure adventure started early.
On Saturday evening, with my flight booked and my favourite Cure t-shirt packed I trekked down to Heathrow ready for 23 hours on plane.
Sydney at 6am in the morning was very Cure - Thunderstorms and pouring rain - reminded me of Same Deep Water as you and boy was I to find out how deep the water might get over the next 24 hours as the heaven's opened - good job i packed my raincoat.
I have never really been at the heart of the Cure community - I post the odd blog and buy lots of old records so it was a really nice suprise to meet up with 20 or so like minded Cure fans for the pre-show dinner on the Monday night down at the Waterfront restaurant. People you guys all know well were there and they welcomed me like an old friend too!!
4 hours of nothing but Cure conversations - best gig, first gig, when you met the band, stories of Lol and my trousers (don't ask!!) just sped by and this was made even more atmospheric by the light show happening across the Harbour throughout the evening.
My first gigs were in 1979 and 1980 so the prospect of seeing the first three albums performed live again was almost too much to bear. We all hoped that Carnage Visors might be shown during the second interval and we swapped notes on what encores we thought would be played. I went back to the hotel a little tired but happy to have met such a great bunch of people.
So onto the opera house in the morning to meet up with JC (just in from London) and Rev to pick up tickets and the heaven's opened again!!!
After a pre-meet at the hotel we went onto the Opera House bar for cocktails and I met up with the guys who had got hold of a ticket for me.
The Opera House holds around 2,000 so it felt like the right size of audience for a gig that would span the first 5 years of the Cure. I remember seeing them in Coventry or Birmingham in the early 80's with 1,000 -2,000 audiences and, whilst the Opera House is a little more upmarket than the Coventry Apollo, the size of venue felt right.
The mood was completely different to the old days though. I remember the internal nature of audiences and the self focussed members of the band during the Faith Tour. The Opera House felt more like a celebration was about to take place - no one was going to get too depressed tonight!!!
(continued from previous post)
ReplyDeleteSo on with the show. Most of what happened has been perfectly documented here on COF and the fantastic videos capture the mood well so probably best if I just run through the highlights (some of which I have already reported on Curerecords):
The evening just built and built from the pretty stark and wonderfully crisp 10:15 with Rob/ Simon/ Jason lit by white light to the multi-coloured spectacular wall of sound behind "Lovecats" with added Roger and Lol. The ride between the two was perfect. Highlights/ note worthy moments for me were: Robert 'nearly' getting all the lyrics to So What, Three almost turning into "Forever", the warmth of Seventeen Seconds, Lol taking his finger off the keyboard too early at the end of All Cats are Grey (it ended rather abruptly!!), The magnificence of Holy Hour, hearing "Doubt" live for the first time, the almost perfect set list for the first encore - all the b-sides as well, Descent!!!! and the build up from the Hanging Garden to Lovecats!! I am no longer 19 years old so whilst the emotional rush I got when I heard these songs for the first time was not matched, the occasion, the power and the pure brilliance matched anything else I have seen from them before.
All in all, the sound was perfect in capturing the mood of the night and of the time. The songs were clear and crisp and played on the right instruments for the right songs. I have to hand it to Simon and Jason - they played almost flawlessley and are the heart of the band for me (being a bassist at heart).
So back to the bar to spend some more quality time with my new found Cure friends - a perfect end to a perfect day.
Gh factor hit the nail on the head. My first comment I mentioned that there was something that was off about their sound and I couldn't put my finger on it. I have seen them many times over @) + @ twenty years and listened to thousands of live shows. It's not their age because I just saw them three years ago and they were incredible. GH factor said it, it seemed empty, scripted. It seems as if Robert didn't have his normal high energy at these shows. I'm not saying they sound bad, just not the normal cure I'm used to. I have listened to the whole first night and most of the videos. LOL roger, Jason and Simon don't seem to click together. Maybe the band didn't rehearse alot together. And it seemed like Jason wasn't listening, or couldn't hear the band because during quite songs he was pounding the snare and hi-hat. These shows were still better than any crap being played today.
ReplyDeleteGreat reviews, Thanks for sharing. I'm glad everyone had an Awesome experience!
ReplyDeleteAll of the comments pretty much nail it especially the comment of Robert on the Harmonicah!!
ReplyDeleteI do not agree with the comments that say the sound wasnt right or that his voice was off..
have also seen Cure concerts from Long Beach Ca San Fran, Santa barbara Ca, and Sydney... This was the best.. his voice whailed the way I have always wished to hear whilst n concert. This was the best! If you closed your eyes, you would swear yoiu were listening to the CD.. And I listen to the CD's so much my speakers blow and my hearing is a bit off. This has nothing to do with it ! They sounded so amazing... and Robert looked so rejuvenated and fresh.. I was up close to him and im in the anti ageing profession, his skin is like the skin of a 20 year old.. no joke..
Kuddos to what ever skin regime he's on....
OK, I was not there, but I am so excited I have to post. I can't believe Robert sang So What among others. Incredible dodgy words; great music. Amazing. I am excited about these three albums being played. Also about Roger and Lol beiing back! Faith is my favorite song and album. I love that they played all those b sides and singles connecting thedifferent phases. World War? Really? Robert! I thought you hated that song. Charlotte, Splintered, Hanging connect this show to Trilogy. The last encore connects to The Top which I hope they do indeed play with Head On The Door and Kiss Me.
ReplyDeleteIf it were a box set someday, it could be called the Trilogy Trifecta. Three three album sets. Who else plays 44 songs in one night only to repeat it again the next.
.....ReFlections was a Great moment in TheCureFans's World But i have a very very very Important question for the Future of our beloved Band......WHEN....WHEN ....A NEW ALBUM with the return of the Dark Keyboards!!!
ReplyDeleteWHEN????????
I'm in Melancolic mood 2day!!!
this event has been so comprehensively covered that i'm not sure what more there is to say about it - easily the best part was the encores on night #1, an absolutely delirious trip through a good deal of the old standing on a beach cassette (still my favourite ever cure release) - as a teenager i often dreamed of attending a "special" cure show, one where they would dredge up some back catalogue oddities to blow the minds of fans who knew to be amazed - well it happened a little later than i would have imagined but i am incredibly grateful for whatever bizarre confluence of events meant that it happened in my town
ReplyDeleteSeems that this Seattle review is as mixed up as the original album of the same name. "Simon O'Donnell" says it all.
ReplyDeleteI noticed "Simon O'Donnell" on PI's review too. The strange thing is, though, that the rest of the review is incredibly detailed and insightful. That reporter is either a big fan, or did some serious homework. Either way, I loved the review. It was fun to read.
