The Cure Without Electricity

The Cure was literally forced to perform and so to speak successfully finish their concert without any electricity, said NME. This incident took place during their live performance at the Coachella music festival on April 19. Practically, if the band can keep on playing even after electricity goes down it means that musicians can handle some serious challenges. The Cure had already played twenty nine songs when the concert organizers have warned them and asked to finish their performance. At that moment the band’s leader Robert Smith had shared some bad words with the crowd and began to play “Boys Don’t Cry”. They definitely didn’t care about rules and regulations by showing some serious rock n’ roll attitude. Two minutes later organizers have decided to use some pressue and turned down the electricity, but it did not stop Smith and his band from playing. “Jumping Someone Else’s Train” and “Grindng Halt” were played in the acoustic version, so only those who stood right next to the stage could hear it. Pretty nice concert after all, real rock n’ roll and a lot of “I don’t give a f…” to those who organize concert events. This performance had finished the three-day festival, which annually takes place at the California’s Coachella valley since 1999. The only exception was in 2000 when the festival was cancelled due to some financial problems.
