Same venue Joy Division would have played hadn't Ian Curtis died a week before
What's the venue?
I wish they could bring back Secrets in their set lists. That song is mesmerizing.
Yes, that would be amazing.
Yes,yes. And I like the more flowery snow in summer too. They go punk n post punk to this amazing orchestra of beauty and it's all poetry set to music n uniform in the same and amazing.
@@smarieintn5955 That would be cool
Best era of the Cure, between first and second albums.
I think between 2nd & 3rd , 17 Seconds & Faith.
I think between 3rd and 4th ,faith and pornography
you can definitely make a case for the first 4, but without the early stuff, it makes less sense
I saw the same set in 1981 then saw them again after 3rd or 4th album. Prefered first gig live but all great songs
along with pornography ...
I've always noticed Robert's strumming is amazing. One hand is calmly fretting the chords while the other is going nuts. Amazing! [Jumping someone else's train]
He's a lot like Prince isn't he. They both are inspired by Jimi Hendrix. And then they took their personal heart and playing abilities with that and just went crazy for us. I wish Jimmy had lived a long happy life too. Some great artists just can't settle into a good life and mental well being also.
I saw them in 1980, new zealand, Brilliant
Surprisingly good sound quality
Actually, there are other live recordings from this era that are MUCH better. This was the golden age of analog recording technology, which had basically been perfected in the mid 70's and was still the standard in '80. As long as gigs were being recorded through a decent multi-track mixing console on to 1/4 inch reel to reel, and not on someone's crappy little cassette-recorder boombox (as so many bootlegs from this era were), they sounded great. Check out the Cure's live at Tubmingen '81 for a perfect example.
I just came out of The Cure’s live perfomance, came here cause I wanted to listen to Fire in Cairo that it was not played. I am stunned that at 63 Robert Smith has the voice sounding better than when he was in is 20s and of course it was already one of greatest voices of all music history, besides being a master o rhythm guitar. The band performance was perfect, I had never truly noticed the richness of the drums. A very melancholic show full of long progressive and wide range tunes that ended with greatest hits. Almost 3 hours of pure euphoria and curation to the soul. I am so happy I watch this show I feel replenished and fortunate for being present at such a great act of these living legends.
Another Journey By Train was great here, as well as many others…
You gotta be kidding! Where did you find this gem? We first generation Cure fans (I was 15 when this concert was filmed) would have literally killed for a copy of this, which appears to be a "master" copy. This was part of their Boys Don't Cry tour. Also, you will see that this was their "pre-image" era. The joke is is that one day a record executive attached to their label complained to Robert Smith's business manager that "the lads have no image...do something about it." The rest is rock history and legend. After Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Cure became synonymous with the "pure Goth" look.
Finally, they played "In your house" as a preview to the album they were apparently working on, SEVENTEEN SECONDS, a product of pop Goth perfection.
So does that make you a parallel universe murderer?
i dont care, because Smith would not give a shit he put on weight and hadnt shaved with the hair and makeup, but i think it gave fans the wrong idea...i didnt appreciate Pornography intil i heard his seminal style of guitar playing and the awesome band until the hits came--but he loved Dinosaur Jr's cover of Just Like Heaven, he changed the way he played it. i was off the wagon when Kiss Me 3x came out, but Disintigration was redemption, in a way. For someone who gave so much, i had no problem with the Cure breaking big in the states...over a decade of being a cult band, nobody deserved a retirement than him. That said, his punk, post-punk, dark (i wont say goth), head on the door, a stab at psychedia, the Top...all have their place.
another thing about the Cure, he didnt stay in one genre long...yes, hairspray and a look...the Top was a stab at psychedelic rock, Head On The Door and the bsides of that era were kinda a farewell as i had full become immersed in punk and hardcore--the only music my older brother hadnt led me to--i found it on my own. never let those Cure records get dust. the Cure, to me, were a punk band who evolved every few years and there was a period i thought it was over, but they came back. Loved the Dinosaur Jr cover and became fans of the band/. they didnt get stuck as a goth band for long...
I heard that Tim Pope, their music video director, was responsible for the messy black hair and make-up look that they adopted.
@@alukuhito nope, they started that around the time of Faith, as they had it on the Primary video, and very much so on any promo for that album and the following video for Charlotte Sometimes, and definitely on anything for Pornography, and he didn't make any videos with them until Let's Go To Bed.
Finally a live video version of At Night from this era emerges ... fantastic ... just fantastic ...
Mathiew Hartley on the keys!!! 🎹
I have only recently been able to convince people that Robert Smith is one of the best guitar players ever, 30 plus year battle
He is definitely a great, a unique sound. The Cure have earned they’re place in the pantheon of great acts.
Yeah, an all timer. I wish they wouldn’t have hired a second guitarist but I know with age comes loss of hand speed. So good as a single guitarist.
At Night, la plus belle chanson des cure...
41 years ago, and still so fresh
What a brilliant recording and video footage. Thanks to uploader
Fantastic performance of another journey by train. Secrets is epic!
Perfect !!!
A timetravel to the 80ies!!!
CURE FOREVER!!!
👍❤️🇬🇷
Discovered The Cure again!
With everything he gives us and continues to give us I have all these new favorite songs from the concert that I hadn't heard before. I thank God Robert has Mary and his happiness and his love he doesn't just need it from us and get it from us.
17 Seconds was my favourite album of theirs and lucky to hear them play all of it back in 2011. This is amazing footage, but I don’t know where the audience was !
Oh my God. His heart and soul in all these beautiful songs that would just lead to more beautiful songs.
"M." possibly better than on "17 seconds", nervous and eloquent. Music of quality all along the gig, great young men who knew exactly what to express.
Lol - see bassist simon’s got his ‘cult hero’ t-shirt on
Great t-shirt
The Cure la mejor banda del mundo !!!!
Oh man... this version of "Secrets" is just brilliant! One of my favorite Cure songs, and done really well here. Love the delay/echo on the vocals and the haunting keys towards the end. Better than the album version for sure... and I don't say that lightly.
Aren't they just amazing.
Who said robert is not a guitar player???
Definitivamente...,THE CURE sonaba más oscuro y frenético en sus inicios. Sus dos primeros álbumes son discos de culto .
Indeed.
I think because we lost Ian and Joy division that sometimes people weren't focused on the Cure like they should have been then. Thank God for anyone who was giving us the best audio they could for these shows. The way their record company should have been clearly.
He looks so dark here. So amazing, his voice really had it. Post punk has come a long way since then.
Raw, Unfiltered, GENIUS!!!
Thanks so much for sharing!!
!!!The cure!!! A banda mais FODA! do planeta! 💪😎🤘
Cool ! I've never seen before ‘Jumping Someone Else’s Train’ live ))
'Play for Today' is missing unfortunately..
This was a time of the. Cure and I moved to Croydon s.london had a great time in this era, being at college and able to voice my own opinions. and seeing the groups of that time live or meeting them in the ale houses. Being a budding guitarist I made a mental note of everything and then sat Infront of the TV and radio playing along with all or most of the hits from dire straits to Tina turner.
This is a great set. To have seen this show!
I was there
1980 best year for R. Smith and for The Cure. I must say this concert generally sounds splendid (in your house, another journey by train, M, at night, a forest, etc most of the songs are great in this concert, for some (3 imaginary boys for instance) it is the best version i have ever heard (secrets version is a masterpiece, as well as at night)... i do like keyboards and electronics in particular... singing is almost perfect; bass is great ; music is excellent. The whole is intense and sober all at the same time, dark and genuine, unfortunately this early The Cure (with the unique sound of Matthieu Hartley's keyboards) did not last long.
1980 wasn't bad but I'll take 1981 or the energetic stuff from 1982. Honestly there's almost always good stuff from most every era until 1998. That is when Robert decided to go with a click track.
I agree, Hartley was the underrated key component here. Subtracting the keyboards in Seventeen Seconds would kill its atmosphere. It's a shame he didn't stay for at least one more album, Faith could've used his talents for sure. "Forever" is the only Faith era song that Hartley ever played live. But eh, everything happens for a reason, and Pornography wouldn't have been a masterpiece if he was still in the band (since he didn't wanna go down the super dark route).
@@xangirdeux473 pornography is far too "wagnerien" to be a masterpiece
I love this atmosphere, I love The Cure
My baby's still plays this song, but just to millions of people around the world now.
There's something about the blackness that they fade In-N-Out of. It's so Cure.
legendary! top upload. TY
The greatest rock band since the Beatles!
Thank You for the great quality of this video. I thought every iteration and re-invention The Cure went through were terrific. I never thought them boring because they're so willing to stretch themselves and not allow anyone to pigeon-hole them. I thought The Cure and Joy Division were both supposed to debut @CBGBs in the E. Village. the trouble is the acoustics in this place sound better than CBGBs would have which means this could either be Max's in Midtown?? OR else its at the Bowery Ballroom on Delancey and Bowery. [CBGB's closed well before the pandemic and parts of it have been reconstructed and permanently installed in the Brooklyn Museum [no kidding]. Cheers from NYC!!!
My God. This is incredible to see
puras joyas carajo wow te amo the cure
Excelente concierto de la etapa de the cure que más prefiero el post punk
Wonderful, thank you very much 🙏
Un super set franchement ! Mention spéciale à M et Another journey by train, entre autres...
First time i see "Secrets" on stage, i love this song is soooooo Dark!!!
Yes this I missed so much.So good.
Amazing!!
Magnifique, tout sonne juste !💕
True talent
Wow! Cool 😎
Took me right back! Thank you. Much needed!
Great upload, many thanks 🙏
they were at their best 79-81
Best School of Rock video ever. Wait, you’re saying that’s them then?
Una. Gran. Banda.
Amazing concert mate! Thanks forever!
I love this damn song can you imagine a world where Robert never sang but was just a guitar player? Oh my God the world would be robbed.
woohoo!.....thank you!!!...:)
THREE IMMAGINARY BOYS
I am 100% Cured!!
4 handsome boys.
💗
🤩 Terrible y grandioso como suena! Genios totales desde siempre. 😍😍
Супер очень гуд
Where on earth did you dig this up from?????? Amazing.
Probably from an uncharted region from the ends of the earth from some cryptic vault..... Cause you know... There "SO" "GOTH" 🙄
Pretty sure the guy who filmed it had posted it a few years ago.
Was this concert broadcast on TV ? They were that famous ?
It’s all about that bass and treble, always an inspiration musically, they are something else that can’t be replicated but almost always copied.
Цой жив!
Bella
I was bloody 9 years old…. 😢 born too late to witness so much genius.
😭😭😭😭😝😝🥃😝🇪🇸🤔😉😝🇪🇸🇦🇨🌹
And that white guitar that cream white guitar he plays, that's important to me too.
God if they had only realized and film this better. They should have known. These early concerts I would pay money for and iI know a lot of other people would too.
I wish my sweet baby Robert had always known that he was so right from the beginning. But I bet he wouldn't change a thing. Can you imagine if Ian from Joy division had just come to the US and done his tour? I think that Robert played in a tour with Joy division. I wish that Ian could have talked with Robert more. I hate that Ian never came. I think that somehow things would have gone better, maybe somehow it would have helped him with his epilepsy and he could have found the right person and medicine to help him, and he would have realized that this is just another country and another place with the same kind of people that loved him just as much, like Robert did.
FIRE IN CAIRO
I see Mathew was there.
He didn't last long. I guess living on the road is tough.
I can't help but wish I was a groupie backstage somehow in that time. I was a little young for punk n Quaaludes damn it all.
36:43 that synthe sound!
I hate dark stage!!The Cure is here
Tomamdo acido y viendo este recital hoy ahora suena tan fresco y oscuro como entonces
In your house- riff reminds me of metallica sanitarium

15:23 If Bobby wouldn't let me play on this song, let's have a beer...
Is this the show from Hurrah's? There's back stage pics of him and Debbie Harry from this show.
The beginning of this song reminds me a certain Nirvana song ...
