The Cure

In 1995, The Cure was at a significant stage in their career, following the release of their critically acclaimed album "Wish" in 1992. This album featured hit singles like "Friday I'm in Love" and "A Night Like This," which solidified their popularity and showcased their ability to blend post-punk sound with more melodic elements. The live recording of "From The Edge of the Deep Green Sea," captured on January 1, 1995, reflects the energy and depth of their performances during this era, particularly as "Wish" was still resonant with audiences. Notably, this period marked a time when The Cure was also celebrated for their spectacular live shows, further enhancing their reputation as a leading alternative rock band. The tension between their darker lyrical themes and more accessible melodies was particularly pronounced in this phase, representing a unique moment in their artistic evolution.
