The Cure

In October 1992, The Cure was riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album *Wish*, which had been released earlier that year. This album featured a blend of lush soundscapes and infectious hooks, encapsulating the band’s unique ability to intertwine melancholy with an upbeat vibe. The live recording from Palasport in Florence captures them during a vibrant phase of their career, shortly after *Wish* surged into the charts, propelled by hits like "Friday I’m in Love." Interestingly, this concert also showcased a captivating setlist, including iconic tracks such as "Just Like Heaven" and "Lullaby," reflecting their deftness at balancing fan favorites with newer material. The energy in that live setting must have been electric, as the band's passion for performance was as potent as ever. With this concert, fans glimpsed their modern evolution, while the exuberant crowd celebrated both nostalgia and the excitement of new music.
