Full article:
Claudio Trotta (promoter, Barley Arts) : This was such a memorable concert. Robert Smith has included this in the Top 5 of his best shows ever.
(Source : the book No Pasta No Show by Claudio Trotta.)
Claudio Trotta (promoter) : As soon as they arrived at the venue, Robert and his production team realised that the important thing was to maximise the beauty of the venue rather than putting all of the lights on the band. That meant the focus of the show was on the music. This was a great concert not just for the audience but for the band itself. They always play long sets, but Taormina was something like three and a half hours. Another great thing was that they played Killing An Arab, which they hadn’t played for many years, but Robert was singing Kissing An Arab.
