TheCure Plays PasadenaDaydream festival, earns Lady Gaga's stamp of approval
60-year old Smith, the lone original member of the British band, has not lost his dark charisma in the past four decades. The Cure’s impressive two hour and 20-minute set — meant to evoke the band’s epic anniversary show in Hyde Park last year — covered most of the ubiquitous hits still heard incessantly on the radio, from emotional renditions of “Just One Kiss” and “Lovesong” to classic beats like “Fascination Street” and “Just Like Heaven.
After a short break about an hour and a half in, the band returned to the stage and played for another half hour, including a noisy, playful rendition of “The Caterpillar,” plus “Friday I’m in Love” and “Why Can’t I Be You,” before ending with “Boys Don’t Cry.” Joyful fans sang along with most of the tracks, and they weren’t even all Gen Xers as a healthy contingent of younger fans was also on hand.
The Cure’s big sound, sheer amount of hits and engrossing stage show make it a stadium-level band, but somehow, when the scent of clove cigarettes begins wafting through the crowd, each concertgoer remembers every breakup, every heartache and every overly dramatic scene from their lives alongside Smith as he pours his heart out in front of the audience.Frank Black

When founding member and bassist-vocalist Kim Deal left the band three years ago, she was eventually replaced by Paz Lenchantin, whose vocals provide a welcome counterpart to Black’s growl, and she turns in an excellent version of “Gigantic.
