The Cure
The Cure Full Concert at Moles Club, Bath - Lament and More Live Performance
Ah, The Cure—what a treasure of a band! By July 1983, when they rocked the Moles Club in Bath, they were riding high on the wave of their iconic album "Faith," released just a few months prior in April of that year. This live recording captures them at a pivotal moment, as "Faith" was steering them into darker, more moody territory, setting the tone for their signature sound. Interestingly, at this performance, they showcased a mix of tracks that spiraled into their unique melancholic vibe, like "The Hanging Garden" and "Primary." It’s fascinating how their live shows during this period were often infused with raw energy and a sense of urgency, and you can truly hear that in this set. This particular gig would also help to solidify their reputation as one of the defining acts of the post-punk era. You gotta love how live performances can capture the heart and soul of a band in a way that studio albums sometimes miss, right?
