The Cure

At the time of the live recording of "Labyrinth" in Toronto on November 30, 2003, The Cure was riding the wave of their studio album, *The Cure*, which had been released earlier that same year. This self-titled album marked a pivotal moment in the band's evolution, showcasing their signature sound while also experimenting with newer, layered textures. It was their first studio release in four years, following *Bloodflowers* (2000), and fans were buzzing with anticipation. Interestingly, this live performance was part of a tour that celebrated the band's enduring legacy, combining a mix of their greatest hits with tracks from their then-new album. The iconic Robert Smith, recognized for his distinct vocal style and gothic aesthetic, managed to capture both the essence of their past and the excitement of their present, making this concert a memorable highlight in the band’s storied career.
