Look at Robert! He's so gorgeous, young, and adorable here! He's one of the most gorgeous creatures that has ever walked the earth! He has a beautiful soul! I don't care what anyone says he is still gorgeous today and shines even today at age 60!
What a damn good, underrated song, to go along with a damn good, underrated and over-forgotten genius of a band that I listened to during tough times in my youth. I am now 54, searching for myself again, about to end my career as a meteorologist.
Yeah. My top ones are Seventeen Seconds, 3 Imaginary Boys, Standing On A Beach, and Pornography. I just related to the deep songs on all these albums. I never really got into their more modern music beyond the late 70s/80s/very early 90s for some reason, as they seemed to had gone more "commercial", which too many great bands have to do to stay relevant.
Thx for uploading one of my favorite bands of all times. Nothing beats the 80's new wave and alternative music! Literally watching history being made in a basement!
This was my favorite song in the eighties when I used to wear make up and all black in high school. My other favorites were The Banshees, Sisters of Mercy. Bauhaus and The Mission UK.
Here I am back again after 8 years to watch this. I always love to see my own comments I made on videos from so long ago. Anyway, I wanted to say that I love The Cure from this era, so dark and LSD drenched. I like how this video made them seem like either really big, or in a small room by the way the low windows and ceilings were placed.
Yes, an Alice in Wonder effect from the windows, very fitting for the period. Dark days. Glad they all came out the other side. As a nation I don't think we've fully appreciated quite how unbelievably good this band is.
Classic "bootleg" style video , Robert has his classic "pornography" hair and Simon has a short cut that I've never seen before..the phrasing hasn't been nailed down yet which says its before the album release..great video and thx for posting!🙂
@@robertflynn6686 I've actually done my research because the Cure is one of my favorite bands. Robert Smith was dating Mary Poole exclusively since they met back when they were still in school together. He is famous for his loyalty to her. Robert is on record in interviews saying he could never imagine throwing his arms around anybody but Mary during the filming of the video for Just Like Heaven, and that's why she's starring in it.
@@drea4195 that was really great vid of early robert smith and i can see your a big fan, yes! however the real evidence points another direction, sorry. robert smith and simon gallop were secretly dating from the very days they met and started band, yes. wifes knew and agreed to let this go on; one reason why simons first wife left him was over the relationship on going. robert did love mary poole as you say, too. my source is simon. details never released to public. i dont care like them anyway.
@@waterfaerie1190 Thanks, I realize it's on that album, but in this video Robert is le\ip-syncing, and the vocals he is miming aren't the vocals from the album track. I was wondering why would they use a vocal track, not off the album, to lip sync.
The Straps in Simon's hair was very in back then, they could be made of pearls, leather and so on , a Guy from Kajagogoo, sorry for bad Spelling got it too
Wondering the same thing. At 3:02-3:03 you can just make out the shape of the headstock, which appears to be unmistakably an Ovation. Though the body shape is unfamiliar to me. Whatever it is, it certainly looks pretty cool. Almost enough to make me want one, despite really loathing Ovations for the most part.
Further research confirmed that it is an Ovation Deacon 6-string. (There was a 12-string model as well.) Nice tone. Now I'm wondering about what pedals/amp he's putting this through.

Right! But in this years he was so damn sexy 🔥🔥
Agree with you. The lovely charming Robert Smith is still haunting me with his style and his sound. His voice is unic.
Si el es una persona con una escencia unica y aunque su aspecto fisico haya cambiado sigue teniendo ese carisma que tanto cautiva ♡
He's higher than god...

I never dreamed I would ever SEE anything like this ,,,,I've loved The Cure since 1981,, this is fuckin' fantastic to watch!!!!!!!!!!!
My favourite Cure era.
Paul Metzger This is DEFINITELY mine too!! 1982 is my favorite era of The Cure. Everything was so solid and I love it!
Hands down!! never sounded this good again...
Amen
1980-82. Seventeen Seconds, Faith, and Pornography. The unholy trinity. Definitely the best era.
This album and Disintegration has always been pure poetry to me.

@whitenoise546 it pays the rent
The emotion in Roberts voice is palpable. How euphoric it was to listen to him in those very early years. Still great. 🖤🖤🖤💋💋💋
Si jeunes et encore méconnus et déjà si brillants ! Love this song & almost all the songs of The Cure
easy cure perfection
Thx for uploading one of my favorite bands of all times. Nothing beats the 80's new wave and alternative music! Literally watching history being made in a basement!
F'n awesome! Truely the best era for Robbie, Simon & Lol - Long live the power of Pornography!
People who think its dark and depressing.
Life is soar. Deal with it.
sore?
great hair !!!! :-))))
congratulations for the Rock in Roll hall of fame👍👏👏
great version.
One on my fav and like to see rare vidéos !!!!!
this video was recorded while they were still demoing tracks for pornography, it is being lip synced, but of an early demo version.
Great video, great song.
fuck this is amazing, actual video of demoing pornography tracks.
Favorite video performance from the cure hands down. With Siamese Twins (featuring the London Royal Ballet and Steve Severin being a close 2nd.
2019 The Cure Até o Fim😎✌
Power trio! Launching into endless possbilities! 🚀

@@DJ_Hadez LSD has a way of making everything you do strange, even when you're not on the drug.
In high school I would have done anything to get Pornography-era material - especially early versions like this!
YES! This was up years ago and was one of my favorite Cure videos, and then I couldn't find it forever! Thanks for uploading.
the best cure song ever, the 80's were and is the shit
Endlich !!!! Endlich !!!! Endlich !!!!
see you in 6 months ....lovely robert !!!! :-))))
Lol is the man !
Bit of a muppet to be given the boot from the cure though.
Oh my god! What a melancolic song.
Wow, this is amazing. Never knew this video existed. So great.
amazing , thank you tabenon
Super!

i love listen this in lsd
Fantastic upload thanks
This only took me 17 seconds.
Masterpiece from hell
Bob was extremely beautiful guy
1:35 Ah..
Its a shame he preferred guys🙃
@@robertflynn6686 he preferred his wife Mary
@@drea4195 how do you know that Drea??? He was not married in 1982.

The peak of the Cure's artistic curve. A masterpiece song from a monumental album. From here onwards it was all downhill as far as I am concerned.
3:50 😁
can't figure this one out. It appears that robert is lip-syncing this performace, but it's not the album version.
JubeProductions this version is on the deluxe album.
It's like a live demo/alternative version recorded in that era, a 💎

I'll bet no one really knows about pippbrook mills. I had some pics he sent me last year.
This is probably one of my favorite songs from Pornography.
Pourquoi est-il écris à la fin "pippbrook 1980" Si l'enregistrement a été fait en 81 ou 82 ?!!!
someone please tell me what the fuck is simon wearing in the head those kinda straps ????
lol i was puzzled too Gabriel Barajas
+Gabriel Barajas and a curious sticker on his bass (see 3:50)
Ha! Curious indeed.

Bleddy hell?!
What guitar is he’s playing?
anyone know what guitar robert's playing here?

Xo.
mEgahertz?
Banania PingPong this was the first time I saw them on French tv. Megahertz was the name of the tv program
Great to see, but mimed :(
saw them live here in new zealand 1980, Excellent, but the commercial stuff they did was garbage and entirely unnecessary
lol
