The Cure: Trilogy

Three of The Cure¹s most admired and influential albums Pornography, Disintegration and Bloodflowers, performed live in front of sell-out crowds over two memorable nights in the Tempodrom Berlin November 2002. When Robert Smith recorded the Bloodflowers album in 1999, he envisaged it as the final part of a “Dark Trilogy”. “I had the idea of taking the Trilogy to it¹s logical conclusion during The Cure¹s worldwide Dreamtour 2000; we should play all three albums live in one night and make a film. It wasn’t until Summer 2002 that I suggested the Trilogy show idea to the others in the band, and at first they were a bit sceptical ¬ but once we had got into rehearsals it became apparent that it was really going to work, and it did! This particular live event was always an ambitious idea, and it took a lot of mental and physical preparation; but the end result has been more than worth it. For me the realization of the Trilogy show is not only the fulfilment of a dream, but also a tribute to this band line-up; the most dynamic, the most subtle, and the most powerful; certainly the best Cure I¹ve ever played in.” -¬ Robert Smith Directed by Nick Wickham 2002
