The Cure

In December 1985, The Cure was in a remarkable phase of their career, just after the release of their acclaimed album *The Head on the Door*, which came out earlier that year. This album not only marked a pivotal moment, propelling them into mainstream success with hits like "Inbetween Days" and "Let's Go to Bed," but it also enriched their sound with more pop-oriented sensibilities while maintaining their signature gothic edge. The live recording from the Hotel Warwick in Paris captures them during a thrilling tour, showcasing their dynamic energy and evolving style. Interestingly, this concert featured “A Night Like This,” a fan-favorite, which highlights the haunting beauty of Robert Smith’s vocals. It’s worth noting that the 1985 tour established The Cure as a formidable live act, setting the stage for their enduring legacy in alternative music. So, it’s not just a concert—it's a moment in time that encapsulates both artistic growth and fan connection.
