Just been listening to the Cure Glastonbury Gig on Iplayer. I was not a massive fan of the Cure but I am now.
Their music is sublime, imperial and mesmerising. I listened on headphones and was blown away by the quality of their live sound. You can hear ever instrument very clearly and their playing is perfection.
All I can say is WOW and probably the best Glastonbury Gig I have listened too in the last 30 years!

Be careful with The Cure. Albums like Disintegration will suck you in. It's excellent stuff but it's also pretty bloody depressing.
I was a Cure fan since the first album, which I always think is the best thing they ever did. I strongly recommend that. And it ain't living in the depths of self pity. It's so simply mixed and the sound quality on vinyl with a decent pressing is great.
I've heard all their stuff so many times I do find it hard to listen to. But never the first album. Over and over again it's always great.

The highlight of Glastonbury.
What an awesome sound they create live Justin, I saw the Floyd play The Wall at Earls Court 1979 and that was probably the best mind-blowing gig I went to with crystal clear quadraphonic sound. The Floyd were superb producers and knew how to produce a fantastic live sound however I would put the Cure on the same level with that Gig at Glastonbury. Obviously the visuals were not on the same league.

This also comes highly recommended, though I actually have a CD that has both the electric versions and the acoustic versions.
I personally think the acoustic versions are way better. Sound quality is excellent at least in the digital domain, but I know you like your vinyl Jim.
