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.
