Five Swing Live
Five Swing Live is a live EP by the Cure, released on 10 June 1997 on Fiction. It arrived the year after Wild Mood Swings, the band's tenth studio album, and sits in the catalogue as a small souvenir of that period rather than a full concert record.
For anyone following Robert Smith's band through the 1990s, it's a short way to hear the group away from the studio in the wake of that album. It belongs with the Cure's live releases, of which there are seven in all.
