Our reviewer loved thecure at fdarena last night
Leeds welcomed undisputable music royalty when The Cure visited the city’s arena and their subjects were treated to something rather special.
Whichever camp members of the audience at Tuesday’s Leeds First Direct Arena gig found themselves in they were more than catered for. From the moment Smith, 63, stepped foot on stage, at the Leeds city centre venue, there was an ongoing theme of the theatrical.Before the opening numbers, Alone and Pictures of You, had even been aired the frontman mesmerically swayed across all corners of the stage to greet fans who had travelled from near and far.
It probably wouldn’t take much imagination to envisage how Robert Smith appeared on stage at Leeds First Direct Arena. The big frizzy hair, make up and dark, baggy black clothing were all present and correct. Disintegration was a triumph during the band’s first return to the stage while the Cure’s second was something of an indie disco megamix. Lullaby kicked things off although no one was ready to sleep with this being the point the vast majority of those in the seated areas raised to their feet. The swaying spotted from this reviewer’s vantage point, in the newly-opened hospitality area The Mixer at the arena, turned to ‘lost in the moment’ dancing from Friday I’m in Love onwards.
