Live report May 25th, Hollywood Bowl Los Angeles CA

Certainly better in terms of audio quality compared with the youtube videos and instagram streams and the songs will be probably more nuanced and polished making you hear little things that you did not notice before on the live versions. Further on, things like second or third voices (think of "Apart") can make a song more interesting (and is missing in live versions). But that being said,  of course things can be also the other way round. Especially when the album has got an annoying production (like in my opinion the self titled album). And yes live versions often feature another kind of (fascinating) energy that can bring another  layer ot a song. But for me  personally I prefer for the most part studio versions over live versions.

By the way, there  is a Cure-Day now in LA:

just a single A The Cure-Day?

Poor L.A.

Come in my place,there is a Cure Day,everyday!
