Ain’t no cure for love. A long night of good memories with the Cure – Diário de Notícias – Lisbon

british Band was almost three hours on stage at the Meo Arena the show in the old photo albums with many stories to sing

There are things that do not explain or are the unspeakable: summer love, dance, teenagers, or songs that trauteamos for life. And there are things that do not explain, only if they sing and dance, like this Tuesday night in which the Cure we were presented with our album of memories, of things we can not explain.

it Was a night like this. The Cure opened the door to a crowd of friends, showing them old photos in albums, taking in episodes that many already do not remember, but whose stories we hear with delight in the voice of Robert Smith. By means other songs were sung by all, but it would be already in the end time of the concert that the festival would be a chorus of choreography, spontaneous, arms in the air and mobile phones to shoot.

Without a new album since 2008, with no successes since the 1990s, the british band of Robert Smith took to the Meo Arena, in Lisbon, a long parade of songs that have touched, in the almost three hours of concert, a large part of their discography, with an unprecedented theme, Step Into the Light, which, since may, has been played on this tour.

With 40 years of history being celebrated, the band played 13 songs from their albums. The first half of the concert of 16 songs (opened with Open and closed with End, both from the album Wish, 1992) left out many of the successes that the Cure collected in the 1980′s and 90′s, keeping to the three encores almost as many other songs, in a succession of 15 themes that made the delight of the bodies and the memory.

as Soon with the second theme, All I Want, of the masterpiece that is Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (1987), it was noticed that the group had a barrage of sound that the guitars took the dust to the tricks more pop of themes such as Hot Hot Hot!!! or The Caterpillar. Not making it easier in the choice of themes, In Between Days and Pictures of You would be exceptions to this first half of the concert. And was already closing the first encore, The Forest, opus greater of Seventeen Seconds (1980), a long dialogue of guitar, bass, drums and claps that the festival will release definitely in the Meo Arena.

then Came more of a “thank you” to Robert Smith and Fascination Street, as silver pop that is Disintegration (1989), for the lead singer of the voice remains impeccable, hair messy, and lips very painted to give an air of theatricality that if you knew of the venues and of the music videos (that was said in the time of these memories).

Freakshow leading up to the immense feast of Friday, I’m In Love, for a bash without stopping: Just Like Heaven, Boys Don’t Cry, and (in the last encore) Lullaby, Hot Hot Hot!!!, Close to me, and Why Can’t I Be You? to close, hit the half-night.

Ain’t no cure for love, there is no cure for this love, as sung by Cohen. For this reason, it is best to continue to open albums, with memories of these without hurry, without being always waiting to hear a novelty. Who needs news when the memories are so good?
