The Cure: Trilogy - Live In Berlin [Blu-ray]

Great material and superb sound.

There are three of the band's best albums and some of their songs like Disintegration are performed in an incredible way. There is not much more to add when one encounters perfection

The Cure's Trilogy show in Berlin from November 2002 is a concert experience that is edgy, heart-pounding and a MASTERPIECE of what purely defines *quintessential* Cure songs. I still own the original DVD of this unforgettable concert performance of ALL the songs from that dark, foreboding trilogy-Pornography, Disintegration, Bloodflowers-and after having seen the filmed performance at least 4 or 5 times, I feel as if I'm actually there in that audience, belting out all the lyrics along with my fellow Cure followers. Now that I own this EXCELLENT concert on blu-ray, it absolutely has been worth EVERY penny spent!!!! Of the Cure's Trilogy albums, my two most faves are Pornography and Bloodflowers. The sonic landscape of Pornography paints a canvas of my late teens-early 20s emotions-helplessness, fear, anger and rage. The sonic landscape of Bloodflowers paints a canvas of my late 20s-early 30s emotions-anger (with a conscience), regret, brooding introspection and sorrowful isolation. Watching this live performance has ALWAYS been uplifing AND cathartic for this Cure fan, whose life has always been a psychological struggle, yet through the therapy of listening to the Cure's finest music (as well as many other types of music), one that has made this surviving soul stronger than ever!!!!Just to add, if you watch this electrifying, edgy performance with Sony XB400 headphones (I've done this for the past 3 times), you will DEFINITELY be blown away; Robert Smith's vocals are fantastically crisp and clear and the bass, crunchy jangling guitars and drums will all rock your ears AND soul to their very core!!!!

Great product (I've watched it in blu ray) but I sent this for refund and they charged a restocking fee of about 1/2 the original cost. It wasn't worth the effort. I could have given it to a friend and been out 6 bucks.

The Cure are the gift that keeps on giving. You can find many of their live performances online (especially on YouTube), including this concert. Performing three of their best-known albums, including "Disintegration," the album against which all other Cure albums are measured, this DVD shows the guys in their physical prime, with Robert looking appropriately menacing. While all three albums are performed very well, the absolute high point for me comes at the very end, in the second encore song, "The Kiss" (the band played two songs from "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me" as an encore). This performance of the song is the best I have ever seen, which is saying something. An absolutely scorching rendition, and Robert belting out the song's signature lines with plenty of aggression. The performance of that song alone is worth the purchase price.

This had previously been the greatest live concert ever released on any format, and now it just got better!When I purchased the DVD of this live show, filmed in Berlin, a number of years ago I was astounded at how amazing it was. I have seen The Cure 10 times throughout the course of my life, and own every studio release, video release, and many bootlegs; yet I still was not prepared for just how unbelievably incredible this performance would be.Now, years later, after many throw away Blu-ray concert releases from artists without half the talent of The Cure, we finally get 'Trilogy' in beautiful High-definition; and boy was it worth the wait!The audio sounds flawless, and the picture quality is light-years better than the already very good looking DVD. This is how you release a live concert on Blu-ray; looks perfect, sounds perfect, and the content is second to none.The Cure combine a live show of three intrinsically linked albums, 'Pornography', 'Disintegration', and 'Blood Flowers' to give fans the ultimate Blu-ray that could ever be asked for.The supplements even shine, with a 2 song encore consisting of 'If Only Tonight We Could Sleep' and 'The Kiss' from the album 'Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me', as well as backstage footage and other goodies.Whether you are a Blu-ray fan, a Cure fan, a live concert fan, or even a moderate fan of any of these things, you owe it to yourself to have this on your shelf.Very possibly the best live concert that will ever be released.

After seeing them twice in Atlanta on this latest tour in 2023, I was having withdrawals so I bought this bluray to scratch the itch. It does not disappoint! It’s nice to put this on in the comfort of my own living room with a large screen to enjoy the energy of the Cure’s live performance. The skillfully recorded live performances are a joy to hear on a high fidelity system like the one in myfamily room.

Been a Cure fan forever. This video's pretty good, I have no qualms with the performance. Here are a couple of criticisms I can add to the mix though: The video quality is good but not great. HD is not always the same; I can see differences in broadcasts on cable and from other sources and the HD off this blu-ray is not the best I've ever seen. It almost looks kinda quasi-HD compared to some of my other BD's played on the same equipment. Also, a note on the audio mix/equalization from a life-long musician-- the bass guitar is not EQ'd right at all. Not enough low end, way too much mid. It's not too bad though, you can always adjust for it.
