The Cure, Chicago, 1989
A long time fan of the band, The Cure, I saw them for the second time on their "Disintegration" tour - and they sold out 2 nights at the Rosemont Horizon (20k seats). Disintegration is considered to be one of their best albums. My friend scored 10th row center seats. The stage set was a multi-media visual combined with medieval castle and bellfry set complementing the band's goth look and music. While nothing unusual happenned, the performance - lights, stage show, music - was simply amazing and The Cure played 2.5 hours. Again, seeing a band at their musical high made this concert noteworthy.

Nice...I saw the same Disintegration tour in Atlanta at the Lakewood Amphitheater. The band opening Shellyanne Orphan was also great, I love the vocalists as they were part of the second "This Mortal Coil" project on 4AD.
ReplyDeleteI do remember the Cure playing a good long set, and they finally unfurled their old stuff and b-sides towards the end. "10:15 Saturday Night" was great.
