The Cure live performance of Fragments at Hammersmith Apollo, London

Venue: Eventim Apollo Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: December 21, 2014

In 2014, The Cure was riding high on a wave of nostalgia and vibrant creativity, with a career that spanned over three decades. Just prior to the live recording at the Eventim Apollo in London on December 21, they had released their album *4:13 Dream* in 2008. This album marked their return after a lengthy hiatus, featuring tracks like "The Only One" and "Freakshow," which showcased their signature blend of gothic rock and post-punk sound. Interestingly, the live performance not only resonated with long-time fans but also highlighted Robert Smith’s enduring stage presence. The concert was part of a series that celebrated their extensive catalog while offering fresh interpretations of beloved classics. Capturing that poignant moment, the 2014 show reminds fans that, even after years, The Cure continues to be a significant force in the music world, entwining their rich history with a commitment to keep evolving.
