The Cure

In July 2012, during their performance at Vieilles Charrues in Carhaix, France, The Cure showcased their vibrant classic "Mint Car," a track from their 1992 album *Wish*. This live recording comes at an interesting juncture for the band, as they were celebrating a prolific catalog that spanned over three decades. At this point in their career, The Cure was actively engaging with a loyal fanbase, demonstrating their timeless appeal and reinvigorated energy. It’s worth noting that *Wish* is often considered a pivotal album, bridging their earlier gothic roots with a more mainstream rock sound. The Cure’s ability to blend theatricality with sheer musicality was palpable during this lively set, underscoring their status as icons of alternative rock. Their performance not only delighted fans but also reinforced their enduring legacy at festivals, showing how they captivate audiences anew, even years after their initial breakthrough.
