The Cure

In June 2002, when The Cure performed at Woodstage, they were riding high on the success of their album "Bloodflowers," which had been released just a few months prior, in February of that same year. "Bloodflowers" marked a significant moment for the band, as it was the culmination of a trilogy that began with "Disintegration" and "Wish." This live recording showcases the band's deep, atmospheric sound, particularly with the intense opener "One Hundred Years," which resonates heavily with their gothic rock roots. Interestingly, this performance captures a band that, even after decades in the music scene, was still deeply committed to exploring themes of love, loss, and existentialism, showcasing their ability to evolve while still staying true to their signature style. The setlist encapsulates both new and classic vibes, a beautiful blend that speaks to their enduring legacy in the music landscape.
