See the Cure Perform ‘Songs of a Lost World’ in Its Entirety During Livestreamed Concert

The Cure celebrated the release of 'Songs of a Lost World' Friday with a livestreamed London concert where they played the new album in its entirety.

The three-hour concert, coming on the heels of a BBC gig two nights before, featured Robert Smith and company performing the new LP in order and in its entirety, including the live debut of album tracks “War Song,” “Drone:Nodrone,” and “All I Ever Wanted.” The rest of the setlist included hits and fan favorites from the band’s extensive catalog, as well as a section dedicated to the upcoming 45th anniversary of the Cure’s 1980 LP Seventeen Seconds, where they unearthed the track “Secrets” live for the first time since 2011. “ Songs of a Lost World is the triumphant power-doom epic it needed to be, fully the Cure’s best since Disintegration, as Smith reaches into the depths of his cobwebbed heart, going deep into adult loss and grief.”
