The Cure's 30th anniversary Disintegration live stream took place today at the Sydney Opera House. As expected, the show was phenomenal - both musically and technically/stream-quality. Robert Smith began the show with some b-sides/demos/rarities recorded during the Disintegration sessions including "Delirious Night," "Noheart," "Fear Of Ghosts,"and Smith admitted to the crowd that the rarities/b-sides were great songs and it was sad they never played any of them (until now). After the set of rarities, The Cure took a five minute intermission then returned for the full album performance of Disintegration, followed by a three song encore.
