The Cure - Carhaix, France

(Soundboard)

20 July 2002 - Les Vieilles Charrues Festival - Carhaix, France

Lineup: Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Jason Cooper, Perry Bamonte, Roger O'Donnell




The only true exclusiveness in the festival, the concert of The Cure risked a party taken courageous (?). The
Gothic teddy bear, made up in the eternal eyeliner and slobbery lipstick, the singer of the group, Robert Smith,
explained it a little before going up on stage: "In festival, we made the error to want everyone to like us. Today,
we do not play any more but for us and our fans. I am too old to play the pop one."

Leaving behind the lighter melodies which often made their singles successful, the icons of the British New Wave
concentrated on their darkest repertory. No tubes (?), but a maelstrom of psychedelic swirls and existential moans
advancing with the rhythm of a procession. Supported by dreamy lighting, these two hours of the show left the
crowd groggy before as much hypnotic blackness. Whereas one spoke there is little separation (?), the English
group announce a new album for next year, in which one should find, as a bonus, a solo album of Robert Smith. "
