Cologne. Radiant melancholy, from the caveman of Pop: The appearance of “The Cure” in the sold-out Cologne Arena the device to the abysmal work of art.
Robert Smith always looks like: a überfüttertes child, the man has stuck to a lot of stringy, black cotton candy on the head; perhaps, as he would be during the filming of the spider-Laden “Lullaby”-the video clips remained too long in the bath and therefore a little bloated. But a concert of The Cure was never a top model Show. Rather, it is a profound total art that revolves just around that verzauselte music genius who has withdrawn since the end of the 80s, from the Public, every few years an Album is released, and otherwise, his life pleased. Eight years, the last Studio album, eight years, the last regular Tour. In between a couple of Festival Gigs.
And yet succeeds in The Cure, to fill the arenas of Europe, the Cologne Arena, as on this evening, with 17,000 spectators. This is of course because the Fans are starved after eight years of abstinence law. But to balance the fact that it is managed by Robert Smith, on the narrow ridge between New-Wave icon and pop star. In the end decisive, however, is that he has produced in the course of the 80s and 90s so many of the successes of immense quality and originality, that he can still live off today.
the Band is dosed, the Hits on this evening in Cologne carefully, can feel the Fans barely as a deficiency, because The Cure play after generously calculated 40 years of concerts, the scrape on the three-hour limit. And slowly build up your tension. A Hit such as “A Walk” to prepare, Smith two Songs time, during a light show with hypnotic circles draws the audience slowly into the action.
Cure concerts have something If you look at to happen here, the stage, finds it surprising that the Cure concerts have something pleasant Static, focused on a rich Sound, simple light effects and the celebrating off Smith – apart from the fact that the slender Bassist Simon Gallup runs and behaved, as he would be paid per consumed calorie./p>
“A Walk,” as many of the Songs from the early 80s, the sound of a lot of lush, over than the LP Version. The quick “Inbetween Days” it tears a lot of the Seats. You don’t come back down, because the shimmering ballads “Pictures Of You” necessarily requires the standing position.
performs for 17,000 Fans under the arena roof
Smith’s journey through “A Night Like This”, brings us the “Lovesong” and the melt anthemic “Just Like Heaven”. The drivers, surreal “One Hundred Years” with its line “It doesn’t matter if we all die” includes the core set. What is, perhaps, a good occasion for thinking that the 17,000 desire under the arena roof, maybe with the death as an idea to play, you don’t want to implement, therefore, the same concrete. Otherwise, it would have slaughtered the supporters of The Cure, Yes, probably even then. You could on the other hand, accept that a Cure concert at the summit verkäme aged Goths, but the audience is much too colorful – of course, with lots of black accents. Plenty of Fans from younger age groups to mix.
In “A Forest,” says Arena green
The additions a part of for The Cure is traditionally almost as long as the whole first Concert, and first of all follow a similar dramaturgy. “A Forest”, in which the entire Arena shines green, you have to earn the Fans only three Songs long. The second encore starts slowly with the atmospheric, dark and dense “Fascination Street”, to discharge in “Never Enough”.
And only in the last 20 minutes of fire The Cure then once the Hits in quick bursts: “Lullaby”, “Friday I’m In Love”, “Boys Don’t Cry”, “Close To Me” and finally, “Why Can’t I Be You”, which allows you to finish each concert. 30 sad Songs, which are donors to Happiness. As you look forward to the next Tour, maybe in eight years.
