The latest “LOST WORLD TOUR 2022” has been a hot topic with new songs after a long absence. A gorgeous 3-disc set that allows you to experience the best tour for the first time in 3 years is now available.
This work contains two records of one show. It is a 3-disc set with the matrix album of “November 1, 2022 Florence performance” on DISC 1-2 and super superb view shot on DISC 3. The biggest point of this work is the strange quality of using four types of IEMs, but at the same time it is also the first report of the restart THE CURE. In order to grasp the recent situation, let’s first take a bird’s eye view from the current activity overview.
・October 6-29: Europe #1 (16 performances)
・October 31-November 4: Italy (4 performances) ← Coco
・November 6-November 28: Europe #2 (17 performances)
《November 25th: 30th Anniversary Edition “WISH” Release》
・ December 1-13: UK (9 performances)
This is THE CURE in 2022. The last tour was in 2019 before the pandemic, and after three years, the long-awaited restart was achieved. However, as of now, the tour has already been completed with a total of 46 performances only in Europe. No plans have been announced (yet) for 2023. The Florence performance of this work is the 18th performance of such a European tour. It was a concert that was the second performance of the “Italy” leg.
[DISC 1-2: Matrix album using 4 types of IEMs] This work sets two types of the best records of such a show, but the main one is the full live album of DISC 1-2. This is a ridiculous white thing, and it is a matrix album that utilizes four IEMs recordings and superb audience recordings. It’s been a long time since the matrix of IEMs sound sources and audience recordings has become rare, but the 4 types of IEMs are unprecedentedly luxurious specifications.And what flows out of this work is a superb sound world where you can fully feel the reward. In conclusion, it is a “completely official class” soundboard album. Perhaps each member’s earphone voice was a different balance, but this work, which is the final form that makes full use of them, is simply full of musical beauty. Come to think of it, this is a natural return. In the first place, the matrix is a mix work of the IEMs soundboard sound and the real audience sound, and it is aimed at a live album with a high degree of perfection. It is also logical that the result of the elaborate work will be like an official work. [DISC 3: Front row shot of super superb view] The special live album alone will fill you up, but this work also includes audience shots that allow you to experience the scene in a super realistic way. The quality here is special. After all, the shooting position is the front row! The stage spreads out in front of you, and the only people in front of you are the camera crew, not the audience. Reeves Cabrels is a little farther away than chasing the stage lubrication, but it feels close enough to touch Robert Smith and the returning Perry Bamonte if he stretches out his hand.
The full show of the latest “LOST WORLD TOUR 2022”, which can only be experienced in Europe, is depicted in these two types of ultra-superb records. Speaking of live performances in recent years, the official blockbuster “40 LIVE (Curation-25 + Anniversary)” is also fresh in our memory. Let’s organize the set while comparing.
● Early stage (9 songs)
・Seventeen Seconds: At Night/Play for Today/A Forest
・Single: Boys Don’t Cry / Charlotte Sometimes (★) / The Walk
・Other: Faith (★)/Cold (★)/The Hanging Garden (★)
●Late 80’s (10 songs)
・The Head on the Door: A Night Like This/Push/Close to Me/In Between Days
・Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me: Hot Hot Hot!!!(★)/Just Like Heaven
・Disintegration: Pictures of You/Closedown (★)/Lovesong/Lullaby
● After the 90’s (8 songs)
・90s: From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea/Friday I’m in Love/Burn/Want
・New songs: Alone (★) / And Nothing Is Forever (★) / Endsong (★) / I Can Never Say Goodbye (★)
*Note: “★” marks are songs that could not be heard in “40 LIVE (Curation-25 + Anniversary)”.
… and it looks like this. Widely selected from each era, repertoire that is not in “40 LIVE” is also scattered. In particular, “Faith” is resurrected for the first time in 11 years, and “Hot Hot Hot !!!” is also a delicious song that will be a tour debut on this day. And more than that, the four new songs “Alone”, “And Nothing Is Forever”, “Endsong” and “I Can Never Say Goodbye”. They have been working on two new albums in the last year, one of which is already completed, “SONGS OF A LOST WORLD”. Although the details have not yet been transmitted, you can enjoy the new song with the official-class super-superb sound and experience it live from the front special seats.
We can’t wait for the first new album in 15 years since “4:13 DREAM”, but this is the latest live set that will soothe your thirst and stir up even more expectations. The ultimate 3-disc set with an official-class full live album that makes full use of 5 recordings and the front shot. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content.
★ A 3-disc set with the matrix album of “Florence performance on November 1, 2022” on DISC 1-2, and the superb view audience shot on DISC 3. The main DISC 1-2 is a matrix that utilizes 4 types of IEMs recordings and superb audience recordings, and its quality is “complete official grade”. DISC 3 in the video version is also an amazing front row shot. The four new songs “Alone”, “And Nothing Is Forever”, “Endsong” and “I Can Never Say Goodbye” are also masterpieces that allow you to fully experience the latest delicious shows.
