  In 1992, The Cure was enjoying significant acclaim as they were riding high on the success of their album "Wish," which had been released in April of that year. The live recording of "A Forest" taken from a performance in January 1992 captures the band's dynamic energy during a pivotal moment in their career. This period marked a transition where The Cure was increasingly embracing a sound characterized by both melodic and darker elements, reflecting their evolution from earlier works. "Wish," featuring hits like "Friday I'm in Love" and "A Night Like This," showcased the band's versatility and appeal, which helped solidify their status in the alternative rock scene. The performance of "A Forest" at this time highlights the band's ability to blend atmospheric soundscapes with emotionally charged lyricism, a hallmark of their style and a testament to their influence on the genre.
