REVIEWS/The Cure 08/26/04  

Most people know Jimmy Kimmel from the Man Show, which he hosted with Adam Corolla. In case you did not know, nowadays he has his own live show on ABC. It usually offers a live outdoor performance, and anyone living in the area can get free tickets.

This was by far, the biggest crowd I had ever seen for an outdoor performance at JKL. The ages of the audience were pretty varied. Minimum age is 16, and there were definitely some 16-year-olds. There were also a lot of adults who probobaly listened to The Cure when they were teenagers.

Robert Smith (lead vocals) was interviewed by Jimmy Kimmel in the studio, which was pretty cool. After a commercial break, it was time to get the music going.

The first song The Cure played was "Alt.End". Now those that read my review on the The Cure's latest album, would know that "Alt.End" was one of my favorite songs on it. It was picked as the song they would play on-air because it's going to be a single.

After another commercial break, Jimmy Kimmel talked a wee bit and then the show was over. For the outdoor crowd, the Cure went on to play four more of their "classic" songs, including "Lovesong", "Just Like Heaven", and "Boys Don't Cry". The Cure is a great live band, and if you like them at all, you should see them in concert.
