Video: The Cure rips through 45 song set at Teenage Cancer Trust benefit

Last night The Cure played the first of two shows at Royal Albert Hall in London as part of the annual Teenage Cancer Trust benefit. The band ripped through a 29 song set, then returned for three encores, in all performing 45 songs. The band dusted off a few songs they haven't performed in years like "Harold & Joe" and Jupiter Crash," plus performed the "Lovesong" b-side, "2 Late" for the first time ever.  Video and the setlist from the show are posted below.

The Cure announced earlier this year that their 14th album, 4:14 Scream, the follow up to 2008's 4:14 Dream will be released later this year along with another live DVD release. Details about the releases are forthcoming. The Cure are also heading back on the road later this year and will perform The Top, The Head On The Door, and Robert Smith's fave Cure album, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, in full. Dates for the tour are expected to be announced soon.
