The restless, ever-changing band, fronted by goth-gloomster Robert Smith, took up residence at the Tempodrom Berlin for a couple of nights in late 2002 for the express purpose of playing the group's 1982 Pornography, 1989's Disintegration, and 2000's Bloodflowers live and in their entirety. Whether it was a good idea or not depends on one's point of view. All three sets are long on droning, funereal rhythm sections, thick guitar lines that carry good pop melodies to overstylized destruction, and Smith's own cracked, morose vocals. On the other hand, fine distinctions emerge: The Disintegration portion of the show is lightest on its feet, with lush orchestration on "Plainsong," a hint of swing on "Lovesong," and cinematic tendencies in the stirring "The Same Deep Water as You." The rest of the concert is numbing. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Best Concert DvD I've Ever SeenThis is the best concert DvD I've ever seen, hands down. The Cure was MADE to play live. Let me give you some advice: get drunk on Mai-Tais and watch all three albums in a row...you won't ever forget it. Rating: - PerfectThis is the best concert DVD -- make that the best DVD I have ever watched. The songs sound better than the studio versions and Robert Smith gives a godly performance. I was suprised and even infuriated to hear one reviewer say that the visuals were boring. The camera work is perfect, the slides and lighting are beautiful, and Robert Smith looks and sings like a god. Rating: - MesmerizingI've been a Cure fan since 1983; I saw them live in 1985 in Athens Greece. They were the high light of the Festival. This DVD with its interesting visuals captures the live performances and enhances the mood that The Cure is all about. This is the best live concert DVD I have ever watched. Rating: - PerfectI'm with Mr Brady on this (hi Jeff). This DVD is by far & away the best live recording officially available from the Cure. Flawless! Fact! Let's all hope that the Cure see sense & dain to issue the last Wembley concert from 1989 on DVD, as I see that is the only thing that would better this. Rating: - dvd: the cure-trilogythere is no Cure fan that should be without this. UNBELIEVABLE!!! the only thing that might trip some folks up (as it did me) is the fact that the albums are played in order, and therefore you might find it hard to make it past the first set! (just like me. "pornography" is my favorite Cure record to begin with, and the versions of no less than EVERY SINGLE SONG from that album are wonderful, man.) i hate to admit it, but honestly, i so far have not seen all of the second and/or third ...
