The Cure

In November 2001, when The Cure performed "Closedown" live in Berlin, they were riding on the wave of their ambitious project called "Trilogy." This live recording is part of a concert that featured a three-hour set, showcasing their iconic albums "Faith," "Seventeen Seconds," and "Pornography." It’s fascinating to note that this era marked a significant moment in the band’s evolution, as they were reintroducing their darker, moody sound that had initially set them apart in the post-punk scene of the early '80s. Performing in Berlin, a city rich with musical history and an emblem of change, added extra depth to their performance. Plus, the decision to film this concert captured not just the music, but also the raw emotional connection that The Cure always managed to establish with their audience. It’s moments like these that affirm their lasting legacy in the world of alternative music, wouldn’t you agree?
