Kitty Empire, theguardian.com:
The Cure’s three-night Christmas residency at Hammersmith Apollo begins with Shake Dog Shake, the opener off their 1984 album, The Top - a reminder that not all Cure songs about animals are about cats, or caterpillars. Some are redder in tooth and claw.

Forty songs later, it ends with Hey You!!!, from the Cure’s 1987 album, Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me. Addressed to a girl who “looks like Christmas”, Hey You!!! apparently hasn’t found itself on a set list since 2004. Robert Smith bows and shuffles off, apologising for the lateness of the hour. It’s 17 minutes past curfew and the band have been onstage for just over three hours (with four pee breaks).

Perhaps they feel at home… A three-hour set usually prompts one of two responses. The fan perspective? You can never have too much of a good thing. The Cure have form here.
