The Cure

In 2012, The Cure was riding high on the wave of their extensive back catalog while also looking ahead. Just prior to the live recording at BBK Live, they had released *4:13 Dream* in 2008, which marked a profound moment in their sonic evolution. This album delved deep into the band's signature blend of atmospheric rock and introspective lyrics, showcasing the band’s penchant for innovation even after decades in the industry. The concert in Rho, Italy, is a vivid example of their lasting allure—fans were treated to an eclectic setlist that featured older hits alongside newer material, a testament to their versatility. Interestingly, lead singer Robert Smith has long been known for his unique stage presence and powerful emotional delivery, making each performance feel like a personal connection with the audience. In 2012, The Cure was not just reliving past glories; they were affirming their place in contemporary music, capturing new fans while thrilling the loyal ones.
