The Cure

Before The Cure’s live performance in Bruxelles on November 30, 1999, the band had just released their album “Bloodflowers” earlier that year. This work marked a significant moment in their evolution, often seen as a return to the darker, atmospheric sound that defined their early career, blending melancholy and lush instrumentation. Interestingly, “Bloodflowers” was touted as the final part of a trilogy that included “Pornography” and “Disintegration,” which adds a layer of emotional depth to that live show. Fans at the concert were likely experiencing the raw energy of a band that had carved out a unique space in the post-punk scene. The setlist might have reflected their musical journey, offering a blend of classic hits and new tracks. Plus, seeing “A Strange Day” performed live must have struck a particular chord, showcasing Robert Smith’s haunting vocals against the atmospheric backdrop that is so signature to The Cure's sound. What a remarkable moment to capture!
