Bestival Live 2011 by The Cure is a fantastic album that captures the band's live performance at the popular music festival. The album features 32 tracks, showcasing the band's diverse range of music, from their early hits like "Boys Don't Cry" and "A Forest" to their more recent tracks such as "The Only One" and "Sleep When I'm Dead."
The album is a must-have for any fan of The Cure, as it showcases the band's energy and passion for their music. The live performance is excellent, and the audience's excitement is palpable throughout the album. The band's frontman, Robert Smith, is in top form, delivering his signature vocals with power and emotion.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Lovesong," which features an extended instrumental section that builds to a climactic finish. Other highlights include "Pictures of You," "Just Like Heaven," and "Friday I'm in Love," which all sound even better live than they do on the studio recordings.
