The Cure released Concert: The Cure Live., Concert sounds remarkably good for a live album. In fact, this album functions perfectly well as a greatest hits album, since the recordings are clean enough (Robert Smith’s voice sounds great) and clock in at about the same time as the originals or even faster. 
Drawn from several May performances around London, Concert is an abridged version of The Top tour that excises many of those songs (“The Top,” “Piggy in the Mirror,” “Bananafishbones,” “Wailing Wall,” “Empty World”) in favour of encores like Arab and Saturday Night. The Walk, A Forest and Charlotte Sometimes were also part of the core setlist and would make any shortlist of The Best of the Cure up to this point. The crowd noise is minimal in the mix, the few spoken words from Smith are functional and terse. What impresses me on this album is how little the songs change in the crossing from studio to stage, making the back cover’s claim of “no overdubs” all the more impressive.
