The Cure

In June 1986, The Cure was flying high on the success of their album "The Head on the Door," which had dropped just the previous year. This record was a significant turning point for the band, marking their foray into a more accessible sound while still holding on to their signature dark, atmospheric vibes. By the time they graced the stage at the Rock am Ring Festival in Nürburg, Germany, they were already becoming icons of the post-punk movement. Interestingly, this performance of "A Night Like This" showcases not only Robert Smith's haunting voice but also the band's ability to weave melancholy and exuberance effortlessly—a hallmark of their live shows. It’s also worth noting that "The Head on the Door" was the first Cure album to break into the U.S. charts, reinforcing their rising star status around the world. Talk about a moment!
