The Cure, infallible yesterday at Primavera Sound

The Cure at Primavera Sound

The band Robert Smith He has not released new material since 2008, but his concerts are still ceremonies that attract all kinds of audiences: from nostalgic housewives to thirty-something music lovers, through Robert Smith imitators, romantic post-adolescents or simply curious.

What happened yesterday in the Primavera Sound It was three hours for a walk through the history of pop in recent decades, a review of hits by a band with one of the most powerful repertoires known in rock history. It was noted that it is 20 years since one of his best-selling albums in his career, we refer to Wish (1992) from which "High", "From The Edge of the Deep Green Sea", "Doing The Unstuck", "Trust" or the big hit "Friday I'm In Love" fell.

Disintegration, 1989, his best album, was the backbone of the main setlist. They opened with the intense "Plainsong", and there were no shortage of songs as famous as "Pictures of You", "Mint Car", "Inbetween Days", "Play for Today", "Lullaby", "A Forest" or "Just Like Heaven ", but also there was room for surprises like "Bananafishbones" or "Want" that are not very given to appear in the group's live shows. In short, a concert markedly pop tone that went tangentially through its darkest registers on few occasions, they even forgot one of its most sinister albums Faith (1981), perhaps the only downside of the recital.

El main setlist It was already enrollment when no less than three encores were marked, in the first they made a small tribute to his album Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, 1987, playing the abrasive "The Kiss", the hypnotic "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep" or the unheard of "Fight", which had not been played since time immemorial.

Then a second more pop encore was marked where more hits such as "Close To Me" or "Lovecats" sounded, and when it seemed that they had already given everything they went on stage again with their last ace up their sleeve, their mythical Boys Don't Cry with which they sentenced that on the stage there is no one who coughs him, for repertoire, for professionalism, dedication and charisma of the public.
