The Cure | Riot Fest 2023 | Live | Full Show | 4K | Front Rows | Chicago, IL | September 17, 2023 

I was also here and cried the first 4 songs. I will forever love Robert. My young girl inner emo child was over joyed finally seeing him live. Took me 30+ years but I finally saw him. 🥰

For me, Robert Smith is and remains one of the best live singers I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. You can "compare" many a band or musician, but The Cure cannot be compared with anyone because they are a unique band and they have been transporting this into the hearts and souls of us fans for decades. His voice is still the same after so many years. The Cure is simply cult

Ethereal, fleeting, lofty, transient, grandiose and unique are words that I would use to describe the indescribable music of TheCure

One of the most beautiful songs ever written

The greatest band ever!!! Thanks again.

Sounds brilliant and looks great just like decades back. Something unbreakable in this world. Thanks for sharing!

They get better every f''king day. 🤩🎶 What a catalogue, what great musicians, every single one of them, including the great Reeves Gabrels. ❤

I take every opportunity to see them live. I have seen them over 15x's and it's never enough.

Best show Ive ever seen!!!!

Roberts performing better now Vs a few years ago. He seems happier but still has that amazing emotional edge when needed.

When the music is MUSIC...Robert is God

The way I would have SOBBEDDDD 😭 these people are all so lucky

EDGE OF DEEP GREEN SEA! HIS VOCALS ARE OFF THE CHAIN MAN. WOW! HIS VOCAL RANGE IS SO INCREDIBLE AND STILL HITS EVERY NOTE PERFECTLY. THANKS FOR POSTING. ONE OF MY FAVE GROUPS. MY FAVES FROM SET LIST ARE: 1- NIGHT LIKE THIS 2-FASCINATION STREET AND THEN 3- EDGE OF DEEP GREEN SEA.

He sounds amazing ❤ love the Cure

THANK YOU for posting! I have been an absolute CURE fan since i first played a fresh "Dintegration" through its entirety as a high schooler, I couldn't hit stop....now 35 some years later, with gray hair, I love seeing the 3 imaginary boys, now 6, doing their magical art on stage or wherever! Blessed to see their show in SLC in June '23. I agree with everyone, this tour, era, and album are absoultely %@&#ing EPIC! DREAMING I might someday see "The Same Deep Water as You" played live in person....Oh to Wish Impossible Things...

Wrapped up my fifth time seeing them this year at riot fest. Grew up with my parents playing the Cure and have been a fan ever since. This show was truly spectacular. The crowd and the energy was unparalleled. It was an ethereal experience.

The Cure 🌹❤️✨Legend✨

Maaaannn...I missed this because I had another concert on the north side of Chi. The Cure was the only band that I really wanted to see out of the whole fest so I got so salty/bummed out. Big thank you to you for filming and posting this.

That's Amy Winehouse in his T-shirt. Legendary band, thanks for posting this.

Yes, they really are a great band.!!((((

Amazing set!!! Great to see Perry back. Hopefully they continue this tour

😍😍😍💯💯💯 Thanks!!

Thank you very much for the excellent video! There is no other band that can compare to The Cure!

Thank you for sharing this!❤

auto like just for that splendid spot you made there! Keep it up! ❤❤

I saw them from the front row of the pit in MD this summer and when I heard, And Nothing Is Forever, live this summer, I just started crying tears of beauty when Robert sang the first line, "Promise you'll be with me in the end...."

The best band, the best sound on stage, I have ever heard Live!

They are pretty damn special that’s for sure ❤❤

que toquen este setlist este finde acá en Argentina por favorrrrr

I've been listening to The Cure since my days in High School, now @ 51 STILL my favorite band!! Have many regrets that I didn't go to Riot Fest to see them, I saw them in June @ the UC and imagine being able to see your favorite band twice in one year!!? Those that did I HATE YOU- not really, just jealous! Thanks for posting!❤

Unicos....muy pronto 22 de noviembre en ARGENTINA NO LO PUEDO CEER...MI BANDA MARAVILLOSA BANDA THE CURE...SERAN RECIBIDOS POR EL PUBLICO MAS FANATICO Y CONOCEDOR DEL ROCK DEL MUNDO!!!!!!😂😊

Right from the beginning, to the end

EXCELENTE !!!!!! POR SIEMPRE THE CURE

Woooooooooooooooooooo

I saw 4 shows this summer, and they were as good as the first time i saw them in 1992. I cant wait to see them again.

СПАСИБО!!!!

Hands down, best tour of 2023, and yes I mean better than t swift😅

FIRST, BIG HUGS ANG THANK YOU FOR THE BRILLIANT VIDEO Robert is a true poet and never fails to deliver the best of him emotionally! I was lucky to see him many times but the last concert I saw from the LOST WORLD concert was probably the darkest, emotionally charge (Robert had a couple of times tears while singing … Well did I too 😊 He took us through a PORNOGRAPHY JOURNEY and some new song, one for this brother, I CAN NEVER SAY GOODBYE turned to be as he mentions, “It was five years today he died” no wonder this set was so heavy, himself confirmed the “unusual set BUT also in a spare a moment confirmed : It is FUCKING GREAT” WHICH for hardcore fans like me was PURE HONEY, it was in FRANCE, TOULOUSE 13 NOV 22. Part 1: concert without the encores: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s6lgMzX9W8A.html Part 2 : first encore : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gyu9jIegEcI.html Mentioning right at the beginning this new song was for his brother… Part 3 : second encore : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hi12TlGon5s.html Part 4: FAITH live: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TMfRKNz8HG8.html Apologies for the long comment but for those who have been followings the cure for decades, I think you are for a treat!!! ENJOY MY DEAR CURE FRIENDS XXX. CHERRY ON THE CAKE AS EXPLAINS IN SOME COMMENTS and PRESS AS BEEN THE BEST CONCERT IN FRANCE OF THE TOUR :)

Que show bonito... fiquei com vontade de ver o Cure ao vivo...

Good Show - Guys ! ! 🦚

Que emoción los veré por fin en Perú a una de mis bandas favoritas

When will the new album finally see the light?

Sure right about the time Burn was floating across the crowd "of the inexperienced" ... ears were perkin up 🤣

The contempt on the faces of the kids that are "security" is palpable.

Great quality, which iPhone did you use?

why didn't I travel for this?

What is the name of the first song? Love it!

Ohhh...when and where was this?? I missed this

However , bob is a fu king genius. Intelligent, amusing & whatever else you might want. As he gets older he seems to revel in the fact that he’s way far past us in attitude

What happened during High? Was it a technical issue, or did Robert forget the words?

ГОЛОС...

Who is the guy on the left?

Is Amy Winehouse is his t-shirt?

Yeah the cure,for not knowing what good music really is. Now you know.

Sounds like they're tired playing their own songs.

Things just get better and better.. Apart from the Gallup-ing bassist who for the last 40 years keeps on trying to become relevant

good video, but TERRIBLE sound. not listenable.

I hate to be critical of The Cure, BUT - Jason makes pretty much all the drum parts and patterns sound wooden and flat. Where has the drive, swing and groove that Andy and Boris brought to the drum platform gone? Jason is obviously not incompetent - but for me, his playing lacks `feel` and nuance. None the less - long live The Cure !
