Smith is an excellent guitarist. I'd goes far to say he's one of the most underrated player ever. And I say that because of the amazing guitar work he did on the first album. You hear all the studio demos and rarities with all the brilliant solos and feedback , and it's all him. He doesn't about being a guitar player much, since I reckon he just sees it just as his tool for composing but damn, he's good. :)
Yes, very true whatever you said about Robert Smith's guitar playing. He is definitely the most underrated and also the most overlooked as a guitarist primarily due to his image and Cure's songs. He will be never be compared to the guitar greats and guitar heroes because for those artists it is all about techniques, solos and complexities. For Robert, the song is the hero and he only uses it for mood painting. :-)
@@cybertaiga9534 Johnny Marr said pretty much the same thing recently - he said he was really underated and watching Robert play in the early Cure was an influence on him.
My favorite song of theirs for sure. Such an underrated song. The synth and the bass are so ON POINT. Oh, what the hell. What am I saying? The whole bloody thing is amazing. Goddam The Cure... So great.
age having nothing to do with their talent, but really just kids here. This song is my favorite of all their works. Haunting guitars and keys, beautifully composed, one can really feel the quiet house, the dark, empty room, and the deep nocturnal and dreamlike undertones of the environment.
2024 Anyone?? 44 years later...amazing. I'm not old enough to remember this when it was released but I enjoy it immensely..melancholic and it goes so ssslooow.
The young and gorgeous Robert Smith gets better and better through the years. 40 years after fame he's always better as a singer and guitarist. The bassline is killing ! Love this !
What I loved about their Reflections tour was that both Bob and Simon were playing Fenders again. You only know how much of a difference those make once they pick them up again after many years and you go "Oh, that SOUND!"
No doubt a little Joy Division influence in Simon's playing, but still one of the best bassists of the post-punk/goth world. I even sometimes prefer his work over Hooky's but we might as well be comparing apples and oranges with that argument.
Listened to it over and over, getting more hypnotized as I did. It is amazing that someone so young could have produced something so great. One of my all time favorites. This video is a gem. ❤️
Thank for sharing! The Cure is my favorite band! I met Simon in Scottland while i was working in Glasgow as a truck driver. I tried to have a picture with him but then i realized it was not Simon and we had a good laugh😂😂😂10 years after i met Bob but didnt approach him. I had a doubt and didnt want to bother the scottish Bob😂😂😂
Gr8 vid and super hypnotic song love it and the words just do it for me... pretending to swim , pretending to swim,the hrs i take goin so slow !! yep good one Mr Smith
I play at night in your house I live another life Pretending to swim In your house I hear no sound in your house Silence In the empty rooms I drown at night in your house Pretending to swim Pretending to swim
Awesome live version...Seventeen seconds has always been my favorite Cure album. This looks like the same footage on "staring at the Sea" the parts between the vids with them doing "the final sound" right before the "a forest" video. Thanks for posting it
@warminator - Yes! I remember seeing the 'A Reflection' bit from this show on the 'Staring At The Sea - The Images' VHS tape and then wanting to watch the whole thing, especially knowing 'Play For Today' would've been next up! And it *is* such a great version, too! The rest of the gig's great also 😀
woah. They were just kids. well, weren't we all? LOL! I had no idea they were this good and that Robert Smith played guitar so well. Actually I had no idea he played guitar at all. I can hear how the Cars were influenced by this movement in British pop.

Simon’s bass sounds amazing!
Yeah, very nice. A classic riff.
I love that Cure era 1980-1982
Seventeen Seconds
Faith
Pornography
Best Cure albums ever
Agreed.
💯

He's more than good mate, he's seriously excellent.
Exactly and anyone can try playing AND singing Cure songs like Just like heaven simultaneously :) Only then they realise how difficult it is.
❤
Seventeen Seconds definitely is my favorite album
just awesone
4 sure!
El mío también
Same here
Es tremendo... Mucha psicodelia en el post punk
Difficult to say there is favorite song. The cure between 1980 and 1982 were magical...I had the luck to see in there 82 tour.
I wish I could go back in time and watch them play, this concert
Simon was 20 at the time and his playing was already incredibly solid
I feel sad for the world not having 20-21 year old kids like this anymore
uhmm :(
Yeah. I am not sure what happened.
@@gentillygirl545 nothing happened, you're just talking nonsense
@@gentillygirl545 they got old😭
I'm 21 and I dress like this and listen to this but okay.
This is literally one of the greatest songs of all time And I’m not kidding ✨ 🌙
True, I just listening this over and over again..Very fresh.
Could not agree more
their best album easily. "17 Seconds" is pure musical perfection
Faith

Disintegration is considered the best because it is the most atmospheric.
That 80s synth is what i live for. Haha
It did change music.
Same!
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
yeeeeeeeees

perfect version , surely their best
Probably one of the best versions of this song EVER ! (and I heard many!) With wonderful keyboards...
Perfection... Love Simon's '77 P Bass...
What I loved about their Reflections tour was that both Bob and Simon were playing Fenders again. You only know how much of a difference those make once they pick them up again after many years and you go "Oh, that SOUND!"
I wonder if Simon'sFender bass on the Reflections tour was the same as his original one (one of the two he had in the late '70s anyway)
what a bass sound
No doubt a little Joy Division influence in Simon's playing, but still one of the best bassists of the post-punk/goth world. I even sometimes prefer his work over Hooky's but we might as well be comparing apples and oranges with that argument.
Alex Desjardin Simon Gallup is the coolest bass player after JJ Burnel, whose influence is even more noticeable. Even in his appeareance.
@Alex Desjardin Um, okay?
Hooky is original but not half the musician Gallup is
Questa versione di 'in your house' è fantastica, il basso di Simon e la chitarra di Robert sono sublimi .... wow
Listened to it over and over, getting more hypnotized as I did. It is amazing that someone so young could have produced something so great. One of my all time favorites. This video is a gem. ❤️
Makes me dream of good old times again when i used to listen to this song up and down~...how happy the people that were there the other day 🥰🎧🎶🎸
Best version ever.
Absolute gem of a track
i forget how amazing this track is...
Flawlessly wonderful
Apart from where Bob forgets the words. LOL
Great song, very underrated.
My favorite the cure song ....
The bass player is a Bad Ass............this is how the bass should be played!
Great bass heavy band............great song.
wow awesome quality
brilliant...so totally refreshing and different...
Saw them in 1980 in Holland. Pure magic. This song and "Never enough" are my favorites of a hole list with favorites.
Scream!!!! I am so in love with this!!! Thakyou!!!
Love this song!...I listen to it on repeat when penning poetry.

What a sound miss the early 80s
La plupart des chansons non commerciales (et moins connues du public) sont de véritables bijoux de créativité et de talent !
Awesome sound
Such a great song. Such a great bass line, too.
I love this song, all the early stuff from 80's is great ! Thx for posting !
Just love how loud the keyboard is on this! All instruments actually! Great mix!
Gr8 vid and super hypnotic song love it and the words just do it for me...

Gracias Robert por tu música.
So hard to play and sing at the same time. Masterpiece.
Just brilliant!
L'album "Seventeen Second " è secondo solo a "Disintegration"....! Forse....! Grandissimo Robert e i The Cure! 🤩
This Bass!
The best rockband undergraund regards from Mexico.
One of my favourite Cure tracks...so imagine my surprise when I saw The Cure open with this song in Islington Dec 2003. Incredible.
I'm 45. And I agree with you...
Great, I am 59 and I totally agree. One of the best albums ever made.
Impressionante
If i could be there...return on 18 July 1980.
its a beautiful live version!!! i love that era from the cure!!! sorry my english is not perfect!!! :)
me encanta este tema
great song
Este video es una joya histórica.
Awesome live version...Seventeen seconds has always been my favorite Cure album.
This looks like the same footage on "staring at the Sea" the parts between the vids with them doing "the final sound" right before the "a forest" video. Thanks for posting it
Magnifique façon de rester dans cette maison....
One of my favorite songs this band has always been phenomenal
Aaaahh, thanks so much. I`ve waited for years for this to be uploaded. Exerpts of that concert are on the "staring at the sea" (beach?) video.
@warminator - Yes!

la mia versione preferita ...
wow this is amazing sound quality. one of my all-time fav cure songs. thank you!
Oh My God! Outstanding! Thank you so much!
Amazing quality. Thank you. I almost feel like I'm there. 1980, yet better quality than so many other videos here taken much more recently.
woah. They were just kids. well, weren't we all? LOL! I had no idea they were this good and that Robert Smith played guitar so well. Actually I had no idea he played guitar at all. I can hear how the Cars were influenced by this movement in British pop.
This is my favourite song now that I'm homeless.
Yay! 😘
