Cursive; A Show Not to Be Missed

Cursive's live show delivers everything you would expect from their albums and more. It's ironic that the example reviews on this form are all about Coldplay because I saw Coldplay the night before and was comparing the two shows as the Cursive night unfolded. Tim Kasher of Cursive spent an entire song planted in front of the mic and and he still put more emotion in to that one song than Chris Martin put into his entire show. Tim looks his audience in the eyes as he sings and connects everyone to experience the song. Surprisingly, they put no exceptional focus on "Mama, I'm Swollen" over other albums even though it was their first time stopping in Boston since its release. They played a fair sampling of their complete discography and do so with the utmost musicality across the board. Even when Cursive gets heavy their musical talent shines through.

Cursive was amazing. I've seen them 7 or 8 times (and the Good Life a good 4 or 5 in addition) and this show was handily among the best. Drawing heavily from "Domestica" and earlier works, as well as some newer material, Tim Kasher & crew came out swinging and did not let up. So glad not to have missed it, even if half of the sold out crowd was still in diapers for their first release.

Cursive's set proves to be an attempt to keep rock n roll alive.
The pulse is strong.

It was outstanding. Tim Kasher is easily one of the most energetic guitarists/singers around. They put up a hell of a show playing probably around 16 or 17 songs. They closed with The Martyr and played songs mostly from their last 3 albums. Overall it was great.

I must say this is my second time seeing cursive. So i already knew somewhat what to expect. But this show was really amazing. They guys took real time taking classic hits like "the game of who needs who the worst" and "the recluse", and giving them a new spin. I was pretty smashed, so im sure i would of enjoyed it regardless. Anyway, can someone please post up the setlist if they have it. Awesome show.

i have seen Cursive many of times and everytime it just gets better and better. I just love the way they just don't talk their way through the show. they give you what you want which is music. If you have never seen them, you are really missing out. If you think you like Rock, pure, raw rock then you must see Cursive.

overall the concert, which is usual for cursive, was incredible. they kept the set moving with flawless transistions from song to song. despite the fact they have an amazing new album out they played songs from old to new albums. Tim left everything out on the stage, really connected with the audiance and made it feel like a small story time gathering in which he confessed terrible and wonderful personal highs and lows. The sound was definitly there and loud. All instruments can be heard clearly and even felt. The addition of the trumpet player is fantastic even though I wished someone would fill in on cello. Basically I cannot recommend cursive enough to anyone. Their music is soul spoken and they have such a range of song genre. Amazing band.

I attempted to see Cursive almost seven years ago one October when they were playing at The Glasshouse in Pomona, but had an emergency and couldn't go. Ever since then, I always missed them when they played in my area. Now that I FINALLY got ot see them, I was surely not disappointed. The energy from the entire band was awesome. Their sound live is genuine and produced with ease. I would definitely suggest seeing them if you ever get the chance.

Great show from beginning to end. I have never been to a bad Cursive show, or basically any show that Tim Kasher has put on. Not only do they always put together an eclectic mix of new and old songs but they are almost always hanging out somewhere before the show starts so you have an opportunity to meet them beforehand.

Cursive played an amazing show, very up close and personal. Loved the handlebar mustache. Loved the new songs, especially What have I done I dont usually buy music, but im going to pick up this one for sure when i get paid tomorrow. It was worth the nasty, sweaty heat.
