  • Fabulous relatively early live footage of The Cure. Great quality, especially for the vintage. Many thanks to whomever pulled this together as well as to the gentleman that fixed the notorious audio dropouts on other copies of this.

    Punk was a genre that The Cure really excelled at, but I'm glad they didn't stay in this genre because it becomes very monotonous, exhausting and boring. As I listen to "A Subway Song", "Accuracy", "A Forest" [for the 10th or 100th time] and "In your House" they sound like they were already moving in another direction away from Punk to something else. It was interesting listening to this band constantly re-invent themselves over the decades. Just as The Beatles, The Doors and David Bowie did. Cheers from NYC!!!

A friend, then girlfriend I fkd that one up, introduced me o NYC art rock, and a new world of imports in a 5 story Tower record store, One band 'm glad I caught the Halloween show at the 9:30 club in DC, and front row MSG Kiss me kiss me kiss me tour I love them. If you haven't heard Siouxsie & the Banshees, you can see the whole show at Prince Royal Albert Hall in you tube, Robert Smith played flawless guitar for the late John McGeough, not an easy thing to do, John is well respected by his peers,

    Wow what a truly brilliant live set - great sound too, and Matthieu's keyboards really add an extra dimension to the previously skeletal sound of the Three Imaginary Boys material. Just one killer tune after another - no gaps, and the genius segue of 'Jumping Another Journey By Someone Else's Train' is just impeccable. This should have been released as an official live album for the period..... it's fantastic!

    They were on fire that night. I love how clean. No effects on. drums. minimal is hest. Matt on keys. Robert with short hair. All so wonderful. The drums would have benefitted from a little reverb. The keyboard brings a lot as lol can only play one-fingered keys. A great catch of one of the most influential and unique bands of the 20th. Robert on the harmonica on the subway song is classic. I remember when hearing the scream at the end with headphones 🎧 on. Scared the s...t out of me. Plus Robert is just on fire. Simon too. Mathieu's keys are great too.

      @@chocomanger6873 This gig took place right around the same time "Boys Don't Cry" was a minor hit on American college radio stations, so more people here knew about them than you'd think. Sure, they weren't the rock giants they became about 5 years later that could sell out arenas, but they were fairly well known in underground music scenes and to college kids. I'll never understand why it took them so long to finally do a full U.S. tour (for "The Top" in the fall of 1984).

    It would be great if someone lined up the video with the complete set, and just had still photos for the missing video.

    • @Brewzerr
      @Brewzerr 4 года назад +7

      @@aquakarn Upon further research, I see that is correct. They played a six date short tour of the Northeastern U.S. in the spring of 1980, beginning in Cherry Hill, NJ (a suburb of Philadelphia) and finishing at this date in Boston. It took them several years before they finally did a full U.S. tour, in the fall of 1984 for "The Top", and by then they were a completely different band than what they were at this time. Before that late '84 tour, the only dates they played in America were in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Pretty strange considering they had developed quite a large following in the U.S. long before "The Top".

      You mean 1981... but I see someone else has already cleared that up. I'll never understand why they played so few American dates during this time. They had a pretty big following in underground music scenes and through college radio at this time. I had to wait until fall of 1984 before they finally played my hometown, and by then they were a totally different band. It really kind of pissed me off at the time.
