The Cure @ Beacon Theatre - November 25, 2011
Photos: Aleksandar Maćašev

Last night at the historic Beacon Theatre, The Cure brought their "Reflections" show to a sold out New York City crowd, performing Three Imaginary Boys, Seventeen Seconds and Faith in their entirety along with assorted b-sides and other hits. The show, which began as a two night performance in Australia back in May, features a lineup that includes long-missing keyboardist Lol Tolhurst as well as Roger O'Donnell, along with Simon Gallup on bass and Jason Cooper on drums.

The Cure will do the same thing tonight and tomorrow at Beacon, though tomorrow night's show marks the final time they will be performing these albums in succession like this. So... get a ticket because it's going to be great. Take a look at some photos from last night's show below, as well as the setlist they have been sticking closely to for these shows...

Robert Smith meets Dinosaur Jr... in 1989


In honor of Dinosaur Jr. releasing their extremely limited edition cassette trilogy this week, and The Cure taking over the Beacon Theatre next week for three very special shows, I present you with a great Melody Maker article from 1989 that I randomly found last night at 2am. Basically, Robert Smith hated Dinosaur Jr.'s cover of "Just Like Heaven," but agreed to randomly meet the band at the urging of some "English guy," just prior to Dinosaur recording their Peel session for the BBC. Read the full article below (click on the images to fully enlarge) and then also be sure to listen to Dinosaur Jr.'s cover of The Cure below in a pretty incredible music video. Special thanks to Archived Music Press for the hi-res scans...
