The Cure kicked off their South American tour last night with a show at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro. Robert Smith made good on his promise to play a LONG set - the band performed a three hour set which included 40 songs and two encores! The setlist and some fan-filmed video from the show is posted below. A short article on the show is posted here with a few pictures, and here's a photo a fan took of Robert Smith arriving at his hotel.

*there's another setlist floating around with 47 songs. However, it was compiled before the show and included songs some fans projected would be performed (based on shows from last year). As it turned out, several songs from the anticipated list were not played.
