The Cure Tickets

stripped down and bare bones, no fancy lights, no fluff. just three dukes on stage with some minimal gear that swelled to five by nights end. so very glad i went as i almost didn't. my highlight of 2011 for sure and was one of those events that the magnitude doesn't really sink in until days or weeks later.

I left after 3 hours of The cure Playing without knowing a song . I admit i am a just a fan of their 80's hits. Robert smith 2 hours and 45 minutes into the concert stated "we just playing our B side songs". Hey Robert you could have saved me some money had you told me that before you went on tour. I am a musician and could appreciate the B"Bide Material" they were playing -but after 3 hour of music i never heard before i walked out.

Very happy to c the cure live once again, they play for almost 3 hrs the show was amazing. Love

What an amazing experience. This is the best band live in concert. Was amazed at how tight the band was and remembered thinking how much work it must have taken to get this show together. Playing the first three of their albums in their entirety, it was a chance to revisit songs not played in decades. Highlighted songs were Three Imaginary Boys, Seventeen Seconds and Faith which coincidentally are the names of the albums. After the albums were played, the band then went into a set of B-sides...a delight for the hard-core fan! Then into a set of all time favorites! After 31/2 hours it was time to go home. An amazing concert from an amazing band!

Traveled from Southren California after seeing all three shows in L.A. at the Pantages because shows were that AMAZING!!!! Three hours of pure listening beauty. Thank you to The Cure who are like no other!!!!!

The Cure are amazing!!!! Performing their first three albums plus three encores with b-sides from same era all performed in three hours. The Cure always give us fans 100%!!!! Some of my favorites were All Cats Are Grey, Funeral Party, Faith, Secrets, Seventeen Seconds, Splintered In Her Head, Three, and I can keep going. Thank you to The Cure for a memorable night(s)! ;0)

A show for real fans - not just the casual "Greatest Hits" fan. They even played Do the Hansa due to pre-show fan requests. This is a show that I have been waiting 30 years for. Have been a fan for 30 years - when only Boys Don't Cry and 17 Seconds were available in the USA, but missed the shows back then and this was a chance to finally see the early songs played to PERFECTION. Went the following night which was also excellent. As always, The Cure is worth every dollar, pound, euro, etc.. spent. Danced and sang so hard that I still don't have my voice left. As Robert commented to me after the last show "your voice sounds like the way I feel...." And did I say they played Do The Hansa?????? Woooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

I enjoyed the show. It's obvious they have not lost their touch since the 80's. Especially, Robert Smith. I felt like I was 16 again listening to his voice. However, I did feel they could have played more of their popular tunes, which made them as famous and classic as they are today. I especially wanted to hear my favorite song, Close to Me, and was quite disappointed to walk out of there without having heard it live.

There are no words to describe how AMAZING this show was!! Robert looked great and it was so nice to see Lol and Roger back in the band after so many years. This night will forever remain in my heart.... one I will NEVER forget. Thanks boys for bringing us this very special show :)

The Cure's Reflections concert was the most incredible show I have ever experienced! The energy and emotion was incomparable! They sounded great and played for over three hours, totally satisfying the true Cure fans! It brought back so many memories from my youth! The Beacon Theatre staff was so friendly and welcoming that it added to the amazing experience! As for the venue itself...beautiful and looking forward to travel back up there from Maryland again when another great show surfaces! Hats off to The Cure and the Beacon Theatre staff and renovators!

The concert was structured to build in depth of sound. Three imaginary boys was played as a rather stark three piece. I don't see why Porl couldn't have been there on rhythm guitar. It would have allowed them to capitalize on the wonderful potential of many of those early songs. A keyboard was added for 17 seconds. It was played very adequately. An unexpected standout was Three. A second keyboard/percussionist was added for Faith. I don't think that a 5th person was really necessary for Faith but I guess they had to give Lol something to do. That said, Faith did sound best. Hearing some of those not oft played gems was fantastic, specifically Drowning Man, which was a stunner. They played singles that hadn't been released on the original Three Imaginary Boys and that was nice. Replacing the guitar hook of Jumping Someone Elses Train with the cheesy organ sound later used in Another Journey by Train, however, was ill-conceived. Oh well. Another well perforned single was Charlotte Sometimes. A B-side that really stood out was Splintered in Her Head; who knew? All in all, it was great. I would have liked a more thoughtful realization of Three Imaingary Boys but Faith was a knockout. I can't wait to see what they do next. Head on the Door, Kiss Me and Wish......Please.....

The show was remarkable. From all 3 albums from when they first started. Robert Smith voice still sounds the same. Their presents on stage is deep, warm, and exuberant. I recommend every one to see the CURE atleast once in your life. It's an unforgettable experience you will never forget. The lighting on stage is perfect with the music and atmosphere.

it was AWESOME, GREAT, WONDERFUL, AND SO DARK. Noboby does it like the cure, The beacon theatre is a beatifull place, the cure had great performance

Great concept for a concert-Were on for more than 3 hours!! Very talented bunch and many bands could learn a great deal from them.

Seeing The Cure in this 2,894 seat venue was heaven. All 3 nights were flawless. One of the top concert events of the year.

Never been to the Beacon before. Simply gorgeous. It was an experience I will never forget. Robert is so amazing who just gets better and better. He came and tore it up for almost 4 hours w/o missing a beat. Breathtaking. Loved all three albums and all three encores. Exhausted and in pain I enjoyed every minute. Hope they come back soon. I will never miss a show and I was so happy I got to see this rare performance of the beginning albums. LOVE LOVE LOVE you and THANK YOU.

My first cure concert and my expectations were high.Mr Smith and co prove that they still capable for great performances.This concert recreated my favorite cure repertoire. Robert, Simon and Lau, thanks for all your great music that carved my life. Again Thanks.

I love them.... So happy I got to see them.. Glad that they sang Lovecats

The show start to finish, blew me & Wife away!! Never seen the band before, but here on I'll be going! Highly recommend to anyone who has a chance to see this band!! You won't be disappointed!!!

If you are someone who likes/loves The Cure and are even somewhat familiar with their earlier material - you will be sorry you missed this show. If ever there was a time when Robert was doing something special for the in-the -weeds cure fan, it was these shows. And he and the band did them with such passion, almost as if they had a new-found appreciation for the material. Maybe it was the exercise of remastering/repackaging these albums and the Join the Dots they have done over the past five or six years. Whatever it was, they were having a bloody good time and it made a great time even more contagious! Such an intimate setting with very specific material executed so sonically well, it's a shame for anyone who was on the fence about going and decided against it. For the fan who has been going to shows for years and always wondered 'their B-sides are as good as anyone else's A-sides; why don't they play them??', well they did and they were brilliant. You knew in advance what the setlist would be; you knew in advance how long they would play yet you still walked away in awe and amazement - THAT IS HOW GREAT this show and the others over the weekend were.
