The Cure - Concert in Rome - February 2008

I still remember the amazing close to two hours of The Cure in Rome on Piazza San Giovanni set at October 11th, 2008 with the same nostalgia and sentimentality, as I heard them live for the first time two weeks before their new album on a live broadcast on MTV, expected the cure nearly 75,000 people and has played more than 200 million TV viewers around the globe with all the tension, "4:13 Dream", followed with an encore of their smash hits in absoluteSuccess.

With astonishing freshness and vitality "4:13 Dream" Performed reflects the return of Porl Thompson on guitar after 14 years, who has revived the band's sound infusion, a sense of urgency, its drawbacks. As expected, the new material went in front of the historic train of the treatment by a swelling, spacious, classic-sounding, but at the same time, drastically altered design which makes perfect sense even after thirteen albums.

The Cure came on stageat around 11pm and opened their set list with the epic song "Underneath the Stars", perhaps the best song by Robert Smith for "disintegration" written. Thompson is remarkable guitar riff came into sending shivers down the spines, while production drops of glockenspiel and bass and drum sounds echo a wonderful song.

In an abrupt change of atmosphere, the band "The Only One" played, the first single from the album, a moderately dosed pop song with a melodic structure and the basicElements to illuminate the radio vibes.

"Freakshow" and "Switch" reflects the scratchy post-punk guitar riffs from Thompson, while "The Real Snow White" and "This. Here and now. With You" reminded me of the classic sound of The Cure with the reverse Guitar minors and almost crying voice of Robert Smith.

"The Perfect Boy," a pretty guitar-driven song with the signing of the downbeat Cure balanced the pop mastery of Robert Smith withthe group Goth lament, while "Sirensong Echo era Cure.

With the exception of "The Scream" and "It's Over" which was a fantastic mix of claustrophobia and was the largest part of the concert celebrating the opening of the mental health and bounding with energy. The rehabilitated happiness of life was perfectly expressed in "Sleep When I'm Dead", a song which goes back to the "Head On The Door"-term, while "The Reasons Why" and "The Hungry Ghost had" the melancholic beauty is a "Catch".

Theencore was very pop, including all time classic songs of the band as "Lullaby," "Fascination Street," "The Walk", "Love Song," "Friday I'm In Love," "In Between Days", "Just Like Heaven "and" Boys Do not Cry ". The majority of the crowd seemed a rather superficial knowledge of the Cure and have really enjoyed that part of the crowd to create a big party atmosphere.

Overall, the response to the event was overwhelmingly praised, many fans have, "4:13 Dream" as a permittedCure-fide classic. My impression is that the cure remain a multi-dimensional Goth-punk group is able, hard-rock melodies of pop-rooted elements to produce. Rome concert was mixed by echoes of the past with full guitar-centric sound of the post-Millennium Cure.
