DVD Reviews of The Cure - Festival 2005
DVD Review: The Cure - Festival DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
This was okay. The songs are great. The quality is not near what it is on Trilogy. This is a good find if you're a serious fan of The Cure.DVD Review: Awesome Concert DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
A great overview of one of the pioneering and most unique rock band to grace the scene with their best songs. I've recently attended their Concert here in Singapore and I'd a great time and I'm still mesmerizing with the songs they performed.
This is a great Concert captured on DVD and they constantly captivate the audience with spectacular lighting and again a great rock band!
I strongly recommend for those who just want to seat back after hard day at work and enjoy the great performances by The Cure!
DVD Review: Robert's POV
Summary: 3 Stars
The concert experience from Robert Smith's point of view. Great audio, so-so video. Too many camera shots of Robert's face and torso. Would prefer to see the actual playing of the instruments and more of the crowd's perspective. You really cannot appreciate the lighting effects from this perspective. Additionally, this concert is performed without keyboards, which sonically, leaves the songs less impressive.DVD Review: I've Seen Better Cure Bootlegs
Summary: 3 Stars
The Cure have only two live DVD's - both recorded post 2000; 20 years after they began and at least 5 years since their prime. "Trilogy" - a three hour set which includes Pornography, Disintregration, and Bloodflowers in their entireties; and this DVD - "The Cure: Festival 2005".
Released in late 2006, it was shot during the band's headlining shows at 9 European music festivals in the summer of 2005. The video features a variety of angles "captured by a mix of fans, crew and 'on-the-night-big-screen cameras'. It is noted by the return of former guitarist Porl Thompson. Festival has 30 songs taken from most of their albums so it provides a much wider range of material than Trilogy. It is also heavily waited towards the material that Porl Thompson was involved in - from 'The Top' to 'Wish'.

Although it is an excellent collection of songs, there isn't much variety in terms of the visual experience - a byproduct of festival touring. I don't mind the different camera techniques but I don't think the sound mix is very good for this day and age.
It seems a little strange that The Cure's best live video - the full concert "Live in Orange" has not made it to DVD, yet an average live DVD that is no better than some Cure bootlegs gets an official release.
DVD Review: Great selection of songs and nicely filmed
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a long time fan and having watched the Cure in Orange a couple dozen of times (I know that was almost 20 years ago,) this live is a great way to go through the band history in what they did best. The way they used the cameras makes the live not boring at all. Great job!
