NOTES:

(from the original uploader):

Flaw: Lost Satellite Signal for a few seconds during Girls on Film Late Late Show.
All material on this DVD is sourced directly from DVB digital
satellite TV broadcasts. The compressed MPEG video is the original data
that is used on the DVD - no analogue stages, and no recompression.

(personal notes):

I downloaded this little jewel from Dime some time ago.
Although not from The Cure's golden ages, this dvd is very enjoyable, not only because of the excellent
video and audio quality, but also because of the session itself: very well sorted out songs, a fantastic
interpretation of Love Song (one of my favourite songs). Robert Smith is here quite different from the
charming and intriguing young man that some of us enjoyed in the eighties, but he's still magnetic and
incredibly fascinating. Superb voice and his usual superb intimist interpretation.
