  1. 480p and in the wrong aspect ratio? Perfect!

  2. I’m sorry, but am I the only one that thinks Robert Smith looks more and more like that transvestite head they find in a jar in Silence of the Lambs? He really needs an updated look. Let go, Robert. Let go.

  3. I’m with you, Craig…

    Great performances! Makes me wish I saw the Cure last month at the Pantages Theater in L.A.

  5. yeah, i’ve been a huge cure fan for ages. saw them 3 times starting with the kiss me tour. but robert looks like a melting candle these days. i agree with craig. let go of the 80’s robert. even simon (who looks great) has moved on.

  6. Yes, he is starting to look more like Liz Taylor when she was old.

  7. Long time Cure fan here, but with Robert Smith at over 50 years old (and paunchier than ever in recent years) I feel embarrassed for him still rocking the 1980’s goth hair & make-up. Take a cue from Bowie and drop all the gimmicks and disguises in your later years…

  8. I’ve been saying for a few years now that Robert needs to get rid of the lipstick / eyeliner combo and do something with that mop of his . Shedding a few pounds wouldn’t hurt either . : )
