... proof that the internet doesn't have to be a wasteland of stupidity and hate... David Bowie and Robert Smith sharing a stage... This. Is. Glorious.
Fabulous duet. David at his all time most beautiful / sexy / alluring. My pulse races to the energy of this amazing performance. They complement each other perfectly. Fly high David. Will love you forever. Thanks for all the joy
The glory that is RUclips. A Bowie fan since 1972, and I just watched The Cure live on RUclips for 3 hours last night. The algorithms really did their work bringing this gem to me tonight.
It happened exactly the same to me. I have just finished watching the 3 hours concert of the Cure and I have just found this magic video. I am also a very Bowie fan. It must be the algorithms... I think.
I can tell Robert really enjoyed himself up there. Bowie did good picking Smith as one of the artists for this concert.Their voices complement each other and I'm sure Robert was honored. =)
I think Robert Smith has been influenced so much by David Bowie,so imagine how he must have felt! He seems so happy! And what can we say about David Bowie, a true legend! Perfection!!!
Scott Barnett I feel Robert Smith is an original songwriter - with musical influences. Same with David Bowie. Would love to see the rest of this concert online, would loved to have been there!
Scott Barnett I think Robert and David are equals as songwriters but in very different ways as Bowie influenced Robert in “creating a world that was of my own making” in Robert’s words
That look from Bowie to Smith at 9:39 and the subsequent smiles. Two supreme musical artists knowing exactly what they're doing, how bloody great it is and enjoying it. Cherish this performance.
"here's a friend ... guy from England with ... one, one of the best i think, most excentric british bands, i've been a huge fan of this for years, this is Robert Smith from the Cure...." Thank You David for this tribute to my favourite band! And Reeves has definetly become a Cure member now
And to think he will be a massive influence on the next cure album. It's coming, it's only a matter of time. I can see tri album release, it's been long enough.
Could never speak for Robert Smith, but were I in his shoes, this performance would have to be one of my favorite moments in existence! 2 of the world's greatest on stage together.
Un duo très réussi. Pour ses 50 ans, Bowie à eu l'excellente idée de chanter ces 2 chansons avec Robert Smith. Les 2 voix se complètent. J'adore. Mention spéciale pour le batteur extraordinaire ❤❤
I just put in David Bowie and Robert Smith and I knew that they must have worked together at some point since they are two of my all time favorites. I wasn't disappointed.
Amazing tribute from David Bowie to Robert Smith and The Cure. Robert Smith seems so happy and smiling ! Very successful. Their voice together is a good idea. And the drummer is just PERFECT ❣👍👍👍. It's a real pleasure to see them having fun and doing a very good job together. Amazing ❣ Friendly from France 🙋♀️🙂
Fantastic performance! I'm totally digging on "The Last Thing You Should Do" here, with Reeves and Robert jamming together... this is where they met, and how Reeves came to join the Cure in 2012. But, man... Zachary Alford on the drums is just KILLING it! Fantastic!!!
I'm so late coming to this clip... but boy am l glad I found it... Quicksand is one of those early Bowie song that was always a favourite... but what a version of it... sitting with chills, hairs standing up on my arms and tears in my eyes... thanks you for this video post..🙏
Just so much talent. Raw genuine unadulterated real talent. So natural. No auto tune for these two. God music just isn’t the same anymore; it all feels so synthetic.
OMG!! 🤯 Why are we only seeing this now! Says it was released 15years ago... How amazingly beautiful as both artists...my two favourite ever mind you...are very picky about who they do duets with, let alone play live together. I need to keep this forever. Thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️
David....the gifted entertainer who always had room for other gifted performers.....Wonderful to see Robert Smith so pleased to share the stage with this very definite musical icon, but be his own brilliant self........Miss you David.....This is ground control...can you hear me Major Tom.....
I don’t know what I’ve been doing for the last 15yrs (lol) but I’ve only just discovered this fantastic show with 2 of my favs.. to quote another commenter “How Perfect Is This”!! ❤
Their voices mess so perfectly. I hear this in comparison with what's being pushed on us in the music world and all I have to asked myself is what the hell hell happened to real creativity. This was awesome.
+Elie Tchanaque ..music is "picture of you" by cure, and "love sick" by dylan, and "uncle floyd" aka "slip away" by bowie, and "heaven" by daniel biro, and "alphaville" by ferry….video is "heaven" by daniel biro and "quills" by phillip kaufman.
THANK-YOU what a stunning version of "The Last Thing You Should Do" ... "Earthling" is one of my all-time favourite albums and how I wish I'd attended that tour. As far as I know he didn't bring it to Australia ;(
Been a fan of the Cure for 35 years. Only really got into Bowie 20 years ago, great tribute David, and you sound great together. RIP, music just isn't the same without you...
Holy shit, how did I not know this existed until now??? I have no words and am emotional with this performance and these words...Music will get you through life
I literally got goosebumps watching this. These guys are the two biggest musical icons for me personally. Thank you sooo much for sharing this. Absolutely gorgeous! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow, never knew this existed or that they’d played together. Two of the coolest most influential musicians ever. It’s proper gold and really lifted my spirits. Just what I needed.
What a fantastic combination! Two mega artists together... I can't believe I am discovering this in 2024. And the lead guitarist is, I believe, Reeves Gabrels!
How have you all hidden this from me for so many years? Absolutely love this. RIP David, and Robert I hope we agent the chance to hear the new album soon.
Totally my favorite Bowie project. I think it’s brilliant in every way. The song ‘Seven Years in Tibet’ always hits hard. It’s one of my favorite songs.
This. And then you turn the radio on, and these days music is so bad it makes you cry... Thankfully our preferred radio station at work plays Bowie three times a day - every day.✌
Robert Smith knew David Bowie for many years was one of his best friends also with Reeves Gabrels. There was always a connection to them. In 2012 when Porl Thompson bailed yet again Robert called Reeves and he has been with THE CURE ever since. He now officially on an album SONGS OF A LOST WORLD. Great musicians all of them. RIP Bowie!
How could I have never seen this before !!!David made friends with musicians from all kinds of muisc genres they worked on.He always got the open mind and received new stuff.❤❤
What I love most about Bowie is how down to earth he was We met him by chance on our way to his gig in giants stadium NY. He and band were in an ordinary van ahead of us in a totally gridlocked traffic jam en route to the gig. Cool dude

Robert Smith is a genius
Both legends icons for me
Yes just found it too didn‘t know it existed ( or happenned ! )

Yeah it's like how Trent Reznor was smiling when he sang with Bowie too.
But Robert looks happy in his recent shows.
I was at this concert. One of the best nights of my life.
+David Adelman Lucky you!
wow.how wonderful for u
thats so fuckin cool fr.
Treasure that, David. Nobody can take it away from you. You have been blessed!!!
IF YOU WERE AT THIS CONCERT,I AM JALOUS OF YOU,BECAUSE THE CURE IS MY FAVOURIT BAND
Fabulous duet. David at his all time most beautiful / sexy / alluring. My pulse races to the energy of this amazing performance. They complement each other perfectly. Fly high David. Will love you forever. Thanks for all the joy

The internet isn't all bad 'after all'.
Bowie and Robert Smith on stage together. Okay. I expect to see nothing even close to being this cool ever
My God that was incredible. I can’t believe how well their voices complimented each other
Got that right. There isn't creativity like this these days. Hos sad🧐
Bowie complemented everyone he ever sang with. He had that gift of knowing how to merge his voice at just the right octave....
Feel like i am in heaven❤
@@reginareams1478 Not with Morrissey
La penso uguale. Sembrano assieme da molto. E sembrano fatte apposta per stare assieme.
That's some crazy drum performance !

Wow they both looked like they were having such fun. Loved the cure's young americans cover on join the dots 🤘✌🧟♂️🖤❤💙
Mutual respect = geniuses 😮😮😮
Wonderful collaboration,Bowie new his stuff musically,Robert Smith can do wrong in my book, " uplifting"!.
Omg just found this in 2024 unreal xxxx
Check out the rest of the show. Bowie's 50th birthday.
I think Robert Smith has been influenced so much by David Bowie,so imagine how he must have felt! He seems so happy! And what can we say about David Bowie, a true legend! Perfection!!!
I love how Robert Smith is so humble. I can't say that about Morrissey.
Scott Barnett I feel Robert Smith is an original songwriter - with musical influences. Same with David Bowie.
Would love to see the rest of this concert online, would loved to have been there!
jay clarkson me too..............and I would kill for Bowie’s coat, love it (I know it’s nothing to do with the music but...........)

My 2 favorite singers together! A dream come true⚡
And Freddie Mercury from QUEEN !
Well, well but Bowie is a kind of business thing and Smith is art. That's a hugh difference.. IMO
Same here ❤️

Wonderful vocal contrast! Wonderful visual image contrast - especially their hair! This is fabulous!
This day, Reeves Gabrels begins a good friendship with Robert and The Cure, and almost 15 years later he is a member of The Cure.
❤

Always knew Reeves would someday join The Cure ;)
And to think he will be a massive influence on the next cure album. It's coming, it's only a matter of time. I can see tri album release, it's been long enough.
Sadly yeah. Reeves doesn't add nothing to the band, he doesn't match.
I love Bowie taking a smoke break in the middle of the song :)
+Liza Waldman And then stopping to dance with Gail on the way back (looks like he tapped her on the butt too, lol)
That was an early prototype e cig.
Now weird, but so cool then (y)
Yes! So good !!😊😊😊👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
I sure hope he found a light.
What???? I never knew this. It had to be 2024 for me to find this. What the heck I was watching all this years????
I just found this clip two days ago. I had the same reaction. Great comment; you are spot-on.

Could never speak for Robert Smith, but were I in his shoes, this performance would have to be one of my favorite moments in existence! 2 of the world's greatest on stage together.

Why am i only hearing or aware of this, until now!! But i must be thankful i have!
I come here once a year at least.
I'm 58 and David came into my life when I was 14. A few years later I came across the Cure. Seeing my personal heroes on stage together, is awesome ❤❤
I just put in David Bowie and Robert Smith and I knew that they must have worked together at some point since they are two of my all time favorites. I wasn't disappointed.
Isn't it great when your hero is also a fan of YOU?
don't believe in yourself
When they sang the line "...knowledge comes with deaths release," it really got to me. RIP, David.
Chills....🙏
Robert, my hero, performing with his hero. So sweet, heart bursting and all that.
The Teacher and the "studient" united on a stage ! Wow ! The STARMAN and the Lubbaly man singing together : good deal. Very good job. Love this video.
That’s some drumming
Zachary Alford is the drummer.
My idea of heaven - Robert Smith and David Bowie sharing a stage!!!! Bug love - great musicians...... and Gail Ann Dorsey!!!!
When exactly did they express their love for insects in this?
Otherwise, great comment. I fully agree with the other sentiments you have.

I love seeing Robert happy like this. These two together? C’mon!!!!! Awesome.
The world wasn't fkd then lol
Singing Quicksand beside Bowie on stage must be beyond a dream for any musician, just to hold it together like Robert did is an achievement
Such a monumental moment and the smiles between these two legends . Unbelievably sublime voices ❤️
Absolutely brilliant. Had no idea this existed.
The algo-rythm working in my favour in 2024.
One of Bowie's most underrated songs, lyrically brilliant, deeply emotive. Glorious stuff.
I went to this show, it was great.

They harmonize well , two of my favourite artists. Awesome.

How did I not know this existed?! This is total perfection.

Just so much talent. Raw genuine unadulterated real talent. So natural. No auto tune for these two. God music just isn’t the same anymore; it all feels so synthetic.
some of mitskis music doesn’t feel synthetic, she does stuff with loads of different instruments and has a gorgeous voice without autotune
i reccomend bag of bones, jobless Monday, and Francis forever

Damn! They sound AWESOME together. They should've done an album together!
Fully agree, did not expect that much when I started the video but WOW!
Génial. J'adore. S'ils avaient fait 1 album ensemble ça aurait sûrement fait 1 carton d'enfer
Why
Holy shit, how did I not know this existed until now??? I have no words and am emotional with this performance and these words...Music will get you through life
cathie ross : It got me through radiation treatments. I requested that they only play David Bowie. Made it more tolerable.
i totally share those feelings and same thoughts right now!
.. HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS EXISTED!!! THANK YOU FOR POSTING
HEAVEN on EARTH. Quicksand is so beautiful....these 2 greats are so beautiful.
soo beautiful
I only found this now, so cool to see both of them❤
Just saw this pop up on X, and I never knew this existed. I'm a huge Cure fan and loved David Bowie, too, so how did I miss this one?

How great is this?! Much love
Why have I never heard this before! What a gem. Thanks for the upload ✨👍🏼✨
Fantastic together! I never knew they did this!

Wow, never knew this existed or that they’d played together. Two of the coolest most influential musicians ever. It’s proper gold and really lifted my spirits. Just what I needed.
How have I not seen this before!!
So much talent on stage it created a vortex in a parallel universe.
What a fantastic combination! Two mega artists together... I can't believe I am discovering this in 2024.
And the lead guitarist is, I believe, Reeves Gabrels!
How have you all hidden this from me for so many years? Absolutely love this. RIP David, and Robert I hope we agent the chance to hear the new album soon.
Wow what a combination!!! Love it ! Thanks for sharing. 2 legends 🎶💚
Total brilliance! The entire earthling album is intense, one of his all time greatest releases.
yes sooo underrated as alot of bowie s albums.who cares..we know the greatness of his work

I love Earthling and Hours. They never get mentioned any more.
Totally my favorite Bowie project. I think it’s brilliant in every way. The song ‘Seven Years in Tibet’ always hits hard. It’s one of my favorite songs.

My 1st concert ever was David Bowie and my second the Cure...the closest i'll ever see something like this.
I had this concert on VHS and wore out the tape watching it. Haven't seen this performance in years. Still as good as I remember.
Rest In Peace David , your music will be heard until the Earth is no more !. love the Techno Beat in this song.
