When fat bobs wig got torn off.. I had a flashback! Totally forgot about that part! I always said this was the most epic concert they ever did! I haven't seen it in years.. thanks for the proper touch up.. it looks great.. I was front row at the wish tour in Williamsburg V.a. When Robert was about to perform "Friday I'm in love" he said here's a stooped pop song! 😆
You could start almost every opinion with: "As a Metalhead...." and people would probably really take it into consideration, more critically than if you didn't mention it. 🤘🏻🎶🖤
In 2001 I was traveling around France by car with a couple friends. We went out of our way to find "Orange" and this place. We finally found it ! We simply walked in off the street. Nobody was there. We all took pictures of ourselves on stage. As a kid I watched "In Orange" so many times !! Being there did not seem real... ❤
I completely agree with you unfortunately, we never had a physical release of this legendary concert I had to take a laserdisc version and I tried to do the best but nothing will ever be better than a 35mm version
@@francescoriccioli4326 I remember Robert saying that when they play a concert with 24-28 songs - they really have practised something like 70+ songs, as they will often change set lists based on the location.They put a ton of effort into these shows.
And to think , almost 40 years ago , filmed like it was yesterday. And look kids , real instruments! No auto tune ! Pure talent .No one holding a fckin smartphone , just enjoying the show
absolutely no one had to take care of fake lashes, nails or smartphones, that's why we were just thrown around at the concerts all the time 👍🏻 It was more attention at the present
@@JohnnyOFarrell huh? he was all gothed out in the early 80s starting in 1982. Lots of lipstick and foofed hair. He went through phases all through his career.
Cannot believe I have not watched it in a long long time. This is the classic lineup in my opinion which I really loved because I grew up with this one. These guys are in a class all by themselves and hearing this once again in their absolute prime is special! Man they are good and the filming was HQ!
I totally agree. Boris added another element to the band and it made them so much better. My favorite Cure era was when he was with the band. Hands down the best drummer The Cure ever had and it's not even close.
@@diggydude5229 Yes 👍And although I'm not that much of a hip hop fan, I also find the "Beastie Boys 1999 Glasgow" to be one of the best concerts out there. HipHop meets Punkrock. Unfortunately I can't find it in good quality.
How brilliant and great for you. I couldn't afford tickets when they came to New Orleans this year. Great tickets were more than my monthly rent. But I saw them in 1987, so I am happy. They ROCKED!!
@The.Last.Guitar.Hero. Who cares?They are so many great songs from the start up until Disintegration.There are a couple from wish that are also great.
i have it on vhs as a 50+ idiot 😅 made cassette copies off the audio way back then and played it everywhere. hope we get a dvd/blu-ray someday, but even if it doesn’t happen we still have this 😉
@@richardmartin-tv3sk When I bought my stereo VCR back in the 80s (expensive!) this VHS was the first thing I dubbed to cassette. I used to play some of the tracks on my radio show on community radio.
Boris Williams greatest drummer the Cure ever he was better than a Drum Machine his Patterns were outstanding for this band he had a feel that otherwordly perfect for the bands voice.
I remember in the late 90s, Lol played in 'Levinhurst' at a small venue in my hometown of Jacksonville, FL. I took many pictures of the show with my Sony Cybershot (floppy disk days), and Lol asked me to email him the photos. I was ever so happy about this, considering I had loved The Cure since I was merely a kid and learned quite a number of their songs on keys & guitar. He wound up using my live photos on the website for Levinhurst at that time, and it made my life gleeful for a moment. Thanks, Lol. You & your wife were sweethearts to me. (P.S. I've seen The Cure 5 times in total, with my favorite being at The Beacon Theatre in NYC where they played only their first 3 albums. MAGICAL.)
This 53 yr old agrees wholeheartedly! I just watched their latest concert 'Songs for the lost world, and i must say its comparable to this concert. Just pure magic. I can't believe both are here on youtube for free 💖✨️
1986 war ich 14 Jahre alt und der grösste Cure Fan ever. Heute bin ich 51 aber wenn ich dieses Video sehe bin ich wieder 14. Habe sie letztes Jahr live in Köln gesehen. Das war so toll. Auch mit 64 ist Robert's Stimme einzigartig. So klar und kraftvoll. Werde ihn und The Cure immer lieben ❤❤❤
Bin 28 und Bands wie The Cure lassen mich davon träumen wie es wäre in den 80ern aufgewachsen zu sein. Schade dass es heute wenig vergleichbar gute Gruppen gibt!
Me to. My dad put this on the tv when I was a kid (VHS) and I remember really liking sinking. Now I’m 37 and still listen to this regularly. IMO this was their peek.
As someone who loved Punk and New Wave back in the 80's. I regret not giving The Cure more of a try. Many years later I have grown to enjoy their music. Thanks for posting this show.
Their sound is unique. They never copy anyone & nobody can copy them. Cure are one category by their own. As for this concert... just a M A S T E R P I E C E. !!!
Ahhhh!!!! This brings me back to 1986 at 9 years old, riding my bike 10 miles to the only record store in town to buy this VHS tape. I left and I got it!!! I loved it so much then and I love it so much now!! I will always be a fan!!
@Cannon Baller2020 that is a nice story. I was in my late teens when I first watched this and was blown away. It inspired me so much that my brothers and I formed a band and covered A Forest, Boys don’t cry and killing an Arab. Not anywhere close to this but I have happy memories. I was hooked on The Cure and have been ever since. This gig also inspired me to get the same haircut as Smith had here and soon after I was in New York in a guitar shop and bought a black and white fender telecaster as well. All in all this VHS cost me a lotta cash lol
@@lukeoverthere1364 thank you so much!! Yeah, the VHS tape cost me a ton too, and I only had half of the money. My parents gave me the other $25 but loads of washing dishes, taking out garbage, cleaning my room, and other stuff, while my 3 brothers laughed at me, gave me the rest to get it. My 2nd oldest brother loved The Cure and asked me on numerous occasions to borrow it, and I smugly told him no way....or I made him clean my room, dirty socks and everything! 🤣🤣 That's awesome you started a band and did their song's. My friend's and I tried to start a band and I was going to be the bass player.....but sadly, I had and still have no instrument playing capabilities and was way better at sport's. They all got pissed at me for not learning in a month and stopped talking to me.....long story, but they were a-holes. That's a really cool story you told me and at least you tried and could play. The only instrument I ever played was the clarinet....and I sucked at that too!! 🤪🤣
The middle songs in this video absolutely blew me away, the versions of one hundred years, a forest and sinking back to back and how incredibly each one was is just insane.
I got to see them in concert about five years ago. They were phenomenal. I usually don't like live music, but they were great. I was amazed at how energetic Simon was; he stomped around the stage the whole thing.
Imagine if the earliest formative versions of The Cure had found a "good" lead singer. Robert would never have reluctantly taken on the role himself and we would never know his voice, music, words and soul. I have heard Orange many times from the late 80's onwards but his voice is absolutely stunning, then and now. Watching this again I realised that there has been no one like him before and no singer has come close since. There are other great singers, of course, but his voice resonates with the core of my heart and body. I am sure that scientific studies would prove this, but I don't need any proof. On my first listen of Alone his voice had me in tears immediately, the music perfectly guiding me to the point of emotional, cathartic release. Alone also seems to perfectly sum up the state of the world we live in at the moment. Again, no singer dares to touch on this subject. When Bowie died people said that they were glad to have been alive and accompanied by his songs. I am grateful that the soundtrack to my life was provided by The Cure.
Same. So glad to have them soundtracking my life since I got into them aged 12. I'm nearly 52 now and Robert continues to give voice to how I feel after all these years.
The total package. A guitar band with amazing rhythm, original songs, profound lyrics, style, elegance and those gorgeous fat bass lines. Love them to death
Reading all these comments makes me so happy. Amazing how much The Cure has touched all our lives. I will be forever indebted to Robert for his creation.
i just got into the Cure a year ago....and the best thing about finding a band with years and years of art is that there is sooo much material to sift through and enjoy , over and over , etc.. the worst is....well.... that a i missed a concert like this , but joy....= its recorded.
A year ago? Me? I bought Head on the door when it was new. A marriage, 3 kids (now adults) a divorce, and a remarriage...(to my wife) plus 8 different jobs... Youth... It's wasted on the young 😢
The day this video was for sale, I had it. Saw them live in 1989, one of the best concerts I have ever been to. Supporting acts were The Pixies and Love and Rockets.
Sometimes I remind myself that Robert wrote A Forest, One Hundred Years and Charlotte sometimes, easily three of the greatest songs in modern music history, by the age of 21. Unparalleled genius.
Pretty safe to say they are the best live band Ill ever see. And they are still proving it that today. Zero drop off. His voice is absolutely the same and the shows are epic.
Hay musica que se graba en lo más profundo de tu ser, que crece contigo y que nunca te abandona. Este concierto forma parte de mi ADN y ha crecido conmigo. Gracias The Cure por darnos tanto.
My bedtime lullaby. I still can remember seeing this in the theatre. The Cure have been there for me more than even my own family. Forty-two years I’ve lived with The Cure as my favorite band. These song are like my blood/life line.
I would have sold my soul to see this concert in the flesh. It's as close to perfection as anything I've ever seen and heard. Wonderful job on the remaster!
This is probably my favourite live video of all time... Absolute perfection. I've learnt so much from this- both as a performer and as a spectator. Sublime stuff.
I Bought this on VHS The Day after seeing The KISS Tour In Mesa, Arizona Only Friend in our group that got a Ticket! Been Hooked Ever Since! Now Have Seen them 7 Times!
I had no money as a kid back in Mexico....all I had was enough to get me a copy of Disintegration....that album was contagious and was the one that got me into The Cure, I was around 11 years....magic times and memories.....
The first time I seen them was 3 years before this in Glasgow barrowlands in 84...it was my first gig.... amazing I will never forget it...the set was outstanding and at this time a prity dam good lineup...I met them a few years later at back of Edinburgh playhouse...and still got the pics ✌️🖤😸
@@GutterHeartsTV I think maybe just from tv? He also liked Madness, Supergrass and The Stranglers (Golden Brown) was a particular fave of his I remember him telling me back in the day. 👍
wow, what an unforgettable experience, im so happy smiling at my screen reading that..I can’t imagine how amazing it must’ve been to be experience their peak years in real life..
@@ntz7358 ye I was so lucky, it was live on BBC at the time and I got a ticket for free that afternoon and still have it...That gig is actually on RUclips. 🖤
watching this concert having not slept in 48 hrs....i swear music sounds so much better after an all nighter - as if this couldn't get any better... don't do it regularly though guys
I have bought VHS in Poland at early 90's. It had sound delay with picture more than 5 sec, unfortunately. So, it's the first time for me to see it with almost perfect synchronization😅
El solo de guitarra en la mitad del tema “Piggy in the mirror" es simplemente alucinante. Cómo un conjunto de acordes tan breve puede transmitir tanta fuerza y sustancia a una canción. Si los Grammy premiaran a canciones antiguas, esta versión en vivo se lo merecería por cómo suena la guitarra en este solo tan genial
Were you really????? Oh my God!!! I would've gone absolutely nuts! I was 12 when I watched this and fell in love with Simon. I wanted to have his children.... at 12 years old. I was a dumb kid, I know. 🤣🤣🤪🤪 What memories!!
Moi j étais à celui d avant où après orange au arrière de frejus 😅 et le temps passe... mais un des meilleurs concert que j'ai vu et pourtant j en ai vu mais cure en 86 au top ! charlotte sometimes... 💔
@@loopofconsciousness At that time, I was not working. I lived in Digne in the Alpes de Haute Provence. A friend was looking for company to go out. He had the information about this concert in Orange and at the last moment he said "Are we going?". We found the tickets on site. I still have mine. I kept all my concert tickets. It is crossed out because it was printed for the Dax concert on August 4. We snuck into the front row and met a guy who shared what he smoked with us. It was a great night. After the concert we couldn’t find the car, lol.
I still can almost not listen to some Cure songs, in particular a Strange Day. It just transports me straight into the most painful time of my entire life. But absolutely brilliant that great music can do that.
For me those songs that drag us down to our darkest times, give me strength and understanding of how I’ve grown from those times. I came to this understanding as I pondered why I enjoy dark sound imagery. It’s a growing experience. The Cure “Robert” are masters at this.
@@alienlapdanceI never got your response until now. What did you think??? I thought it was beautiful, magical, and so much more. I swear if Robert doesn't bring the new album out soon, I'm going to start feeling muderous!! 🤣🤣🤪🤪
@@CBaller2020 it WAS beautiful!!!! even 3 months later it’s still unbelievable that I was in THE SAME ROOM as Robert and Simon and all the rest of them. I was in the veeeery top seat so not great quality vids/pics but definitely great quality time. i love them so much, and i do hope they come out with at least a new song by the end of the year💔💔 really wish I could go see them in south america but i don’t think I could get tickets again!! I’m glad you had a magical time too
J'étais aux arènes de Frejus la veille de celui d'Orange. Même concert et même Robert inoubliables. Je suis toujours fan mais les chansons de ces années sont particulièrement toutes magnifiques !
I owned this VHS in high-school and I gave it to my hot friend, Choi Wu. She was so cool. I gave her all my Cure imports. Thanks for doing this. I haven't heard in over 30 years.
Saw Cure's first US appearances back in, hmm, 80 at the Ritz. I was heavily into their sound and will listen again for a bit but today, 40 yrs later I can only listen for a while otherwise it gives me a gloomy mood. It reminds me of bad times with an ex bf that I'd rather forget. With that, I bid you goodnight.
I thought the same but after repeated listens of the new album the current is really good as well. Pearl is definitely missed thou. Roberts compositions are really orchestral on the new album.
The place they're playing in is the oldest and best example of a Roman Theatre. It sat decaying until renovation started, and began seeing regular use for varied events in the mid-1800's. At the time of this recording, the "Orange" had recently been added to the UNESCO World Heritage list.
I ❤ The Cure! This concert is exactly why I fell in love with their music. That love has grown thru the yrs & has made such an impact on my 12yr old son, who accompanies me to their shows (when we’re lucky enough to get to see them in USA). Thank you for being a constant in our lives. Love always ❤
Sigh, what a time, what a band, what great memories. Emotional AF right now watching this again, I have the VHS but no player lol so I'm over the moon to be able to watch it and save it to my 'LEGENDS' playlist on here! 😏👍🏻❤️

All in all this VHS cost me a lotta cash lol
@@lukeoverthere1364 thank you so much!! Yeah, the VHS tape cost me a ton too, and I only had half of the money. My parents gave me the other $25 but loads of washing dishes, taking out garbage, cleaning my room, and other stuff, while my 3 brothers laughed at me, gave me the rest to get it. My 2nd oldest brother loved The Cure and asked me on numerous occasions to borrow it, and I smugly told him no way....or I made him clean my room, dirty socks and everything! 🤣🤣
That's awesome you started a band and did their song's. My friend's and I tried to start a band and I was going to be the bass player.....but sadly, I had and still have no instrument playing capabilities and was way better at sport's. They all got pissed at me for not learning in a month and stopped talking to me.....long story, but they were a-holes. That's a really cool story you told me and at least you tried and could play. The only instrument I ever played was the clarinet....and I sucked at that too!! 🤪🤣
No phones, keeping it real and having a mosh to the Cure ...great times.
Shows in a time that did not exist mobiles were ,with no doubt , better. With no nostalgia, but this film is fabulous .
I was there and it is unbelievable to be able to see it now, after such a long time!!!!!!!
Yes, me too. It was so magical and a beautiful evening.!
The middle songs in this video absolutely blew me away, the versions of one hundred years, a forest and sinking back to back and how incredibly each one was is just insane.
I own this on VHS. Thanks for not making me have to drag out my VCR to play it. Excellent quality.
You still have a VCR? 😁
@ Yeah but it’s somewhat broken so I need to replace. I have several VHS music video compilations that are rare and you can’t find anywhere else.
@@djflax8806 I have it on VHS too but no player 🤣
This is just one of the best concert films of all times. The band - legends.
one constant for 44 years of cure performing live - Bob says something completely unintelligible into the mic then perfectly innuciates the next song.
suhma-dahh.click.blehhhh,da..songgalled play for today.
Haha glad it's not just me thinking that all all this time!!
Everything he says has meaning and fits together, you must be not native english?
@@RobertMcDougall73 Probably a yank, they have trouble with any accent that isn't mid-western drawl.
@@thadtuiol1717water has a “t” in it.
Wow never thought they'd sound even better live than on recording
I think The Cure is one of those bands that always sounds better live than on recording.
@@wpleary2 I agree 100%
Ya dude.....check Robert Smith out live.....!!!! Bucket list.
I got to see them in concert about five years ago. They were phenomenal. I usually don't like live music, but they were great. I was amazed at how energetic Simon was; he stomped around the stage the whole thing.
Blown away when I heard this for the first time, how can live sound so much better? It just does
Their concerts in the 80's...they sounded fantastic ❤❤❤
Imagine if the earliest formative versions of The Cure had found a "good" lead singer. Robert would never have reluctantly taken on the role himself and we would never know his voice, music, words and soul. I have heard Orange many times from the late 80's onwards but his voice is absolutely stunning, then and now. Watching this again I realised that there has been no one like him before and no singer has come close since.
There are other great singers, of course, but his voice resonates with the core of my heart and body. I am sure that scientific studies would prove this, but I don't need any proof. On my first listen of Alone his voice had me in tears immediately, the music perfectly guiding me to the point of emotional, cathartic release. Alone also seems to perfectly sum up the state of the world we live in at the moment. Again, no singer dares to touch on this subject.
When Bowie died people said that they were glad to have been alive and accompanied by his songs. I am grateful that the soundtrack to my life was provided by The Cure.
Same. So glad to have them soundtracking my life since I got into them aged 12. I'm nearly 52 now and Robert continues to give voice to how I feel after all these years.
The total package. A guitar band with amazing rhythm, original songs, profound lyrics, style, elegance and those gorgeous fat bass lines. Love them to death
One of the reasons like the cure, they sound better in live than studio . Maybe just me, love watching live stuff
Reading all these comments makes me so happy. Amazing how much The Cure has touched all our lives. I will be forever indebted to Robert for his creation.
same😍😍😍😍😍
i just got into the Cure a year ago....and the best thing about finding a band with years and years of art is that there is sooo much material to sift through and enjoy , over and over , etc..
the worst is....well.... that a i missed a concert like this , but joy....= its recorded.
New record in 14 years, out in November ! Then a tour... you'll see them. 😉
Try to go see them live if they tour for their new and what I assume will be their last album.
“A year ago”
Is crazy
Lol
@@danjones3176it’s always their “last album” 😂. We literally know there are two more he has talked about. One comes out in October 2024.
A year ago?
Me? I bought Head on the door when it was new.
A marriage, 3 kids (now adults) a divorce, and a remarriage...(to my wife) plus 8 different jobs...
Youth...
It's wasted on the young 😢
Ich habe dieses Konzert schon Hundertemale gesehen und es ist immer wieder Geil zu sehen, Legendär.
The day this video was for sale, I had it. Saw them live in 1989, one of the best concerts I have ever been to. Supporting acts were The Pixies and Love and Rockets.
Sometimes I remind myself that Robert wrote A Forest, One Hundred Years and Charlotte sometimes, easily three of the greatest songs in modern music history, by the age of 21. Unparalleled genius.
Indeed. Lucky to have seen them a handful of times over the years. This concert is astonishingly good.
I still have my bootleg tapes from this show! What a time to be alive.
me too😍
Pretty safe to say they are the best live band Ill ever see. And they are still proving it that today. Zero drop off. His voice is absolutely the same and the shows are epic.
I use to rent the vhs of this concert at least once a month for like a year until the vcr broke. Thanks for this perfect quality upload.
I rented this at the local video store in 89 and never gave it back . the first of three tapes . I loaned it to a friend and he never gave it back 😂
I still have the VHS somewhere😂
Je ne m’en lasserai jamais un des meilleurs film rock de tout les temps
That voice is so iconic as is the entire ensemble. Some bands are timeless and will be enjoyed and marveled at for generations. This is one!
My absolute favorite version of a Forest ever
Their performance is perfect, especially “A Night Like This” which is absolutely magical.
Hay musica que se graba en lo más profundo de tu ser, que crece contigo y que nunca te abandona. Este concierto forma parte de mi ADN y ha crecido conmigo. Gracias The Cure por darnos tanto.
My bedtime lullaby. I still can remember seeing this in the theatre. The Cure have been there for me more than even my own family. Forty-two years I’ve lived with The Cure as my favorite band. These song are like my blood/life line.
I was the right age, at 16 to have been there. If it weren't for the Atlantic ocean and being in high school. Long live The Cure. Long live the 80's.
Porl.... 😎😐 Robert samouk gitarowy i tak wymiata... 💪
I would have sold my soul to see this concert in the flesh. It's as close to perfection as anything I've ever seen and heard. Wonderful job on the remaster!
amen
I was there and it was the best evening ever! absolutely wonderful
I was thinking the same, what an unbelievable performance
Man, would love a true 4K release of this....I can only imagine the cool stuff The Cure must have in the archives after 40+ yrs of playing.
This is probably my favourite live video of all time... Absolute perfection. I've learnt so much from this- both as a performer and as a spectator. Sublime stuff.
Incredible .. just incredible! Saw them in NYC in June 2023
Same voice !!❤❤❤
I just said the same exact thing. I was lucky enough to be at the night they played 3 Imaginary Boys which is my favorite Cure song.
Love a forest so much, it still gives me goose bumps after all these years. Stevie boy 2024.XX.
The bass player looks so cool!🎸👌🏼
I Bought this on VHS
The Day after seeing
The KISS Tour In
Mesa, Arizona
Only Friend in our group that got a Ticket!
Been Hooked Ever Since!
Now Have Seen them 7 Times!
In an alternate world The Cure released In Orange on Blu Ray and 4K. Renting this VHS on Blockbuster back in the 90’s got me into The Cure.
It even came out on Laser Disc! I had a player but not this concert.
I still have the VHS! (stolen from my sister, LOL)
I had no money as a kid back in Mexico....all I had was enough to get me a copy of Disintegration....that album was contagious and was the one that got me into The Cure, I was around 11 years....magic times and memories.....
One of the few bands that sounds as good and better live. Forest is always a track that shines live. Faith is immense in this set.
Looks incredible. Waiting for a HD release for decades !
Same
Amongst the 10 best live performances of the Cure! Tremendous!’
My absolute favorite concert of all time.
The first time I seen them was 3 years before this in Glasgow barrowlands in 84...it was my first gig.... amazing I will never forget it...the set was outstanding and at this time a prity dam good lineup...I met them a few years later at back of Edinburgh playhouse...and still got the pics ✌️🖤😸
My cousin who was also from glasgow loves the cure. I'm not sure if he saw them live though? He lives in Portugal.
@@Halfscotboy_39 thats cool. I hope hes seen them.
@@GutterHeartsTV I think maybe just from tv? He also liked Madness, Supergrass and The Stranglers (Golden Brown) was a particular fave of his I remember him telling me back in the day. 👍
wow, what an unforgettable experience, im so happy smiling at my screen reading that..I can’t imagine how amazing it must’ve been to be experience their peak years in real life..
@@ntz7358 ye I was so lucky, it was live on BBC at the time and I got a ticket for free that afternoon and still have it...That gig is actually on RUclips. 🖤
One of the best gigs they ever did.
Great job, seeing 'sinking' live with this quality is unreal
I was thinking the same!!!
had this on vhs when i was 12 still as wonderful now as it was then. cried tears of pure joy when i finally got to see them in 2019
Holy shit...the quality of the sound and video blows my fuckind head...a true masterpiece from one of the most important pop bands ever. The top!!!;)
watching this concert having not slept in 48 hrs....i swear music sounds so much better after an all nighter - as if this couldn't get any better...
don't do it regularly though guys
I have bought VHS in Poland at early 90's. It had sound delay with picture more than 5 sec, unfortunately. So, it's the first time for me to see it with almost perfect synchronization😅
El solo de guitarra en la mitad del tema “Piggy in the mirror" es simplemente alucinante. Cómo un conjunto de acordes tan breve puede transmitir tanta fuerza y sustancia a una canción. Si los Grammy premiaran a canciones antiguas, esta versión en vivo se lo merecería por cómo suena la guitarra en este solo tan genial
Boris Williams and Porl Thompson's performances are, in this concert, mind blowing.
What a catalogue of songs they had to choose from in 1986 with so much more was to come in the next six years.
J'y etais, par hasard, au premier rang. Je n'aurais jamais imaginé à l'époque regarder cette vidéo à l'âge de 60 ans...
Were you really????? Oh my God!!! I would've gone absolutely nuts! I was 12 when I watched this and fell in love with Simon. I wanted to have his children.... at 12 years old. I was a dumb kid, I know. 🤣🤣🤪🤪
What memories!!
Moi j étais à celui d avant où après orange au arrière de frejus 😅 et le temps passe... mais un des meilleurs concert que j'ai vu et pourtant j en ai vu mais cure en 86 au top ! charlotte sometimes... 💔
I’d love to hear how you ended up there by chance?! Anazing
@@loopofconsciousness At that time, I was not working. I lived in Digne in the Alpes de Haute Provence. A friend was looking for company to go out. He had the information about this concert in Orange and at the last moment he said "Are we going?". We found the tickets on site. I still have mine. I kept all my concert tickets. It is crossed out because it was printed for the Dax concert on August 4. We snuck into the front row and met a guy who shared what he smoked with us. It was a great night. After the concert we couldn’t find the car, lol.
I still can almost not listen to some Cure songs, in particular a Strange Day. It just transports me straight into the most painful time of my entire life. But absolutely brilliant that great music can do that.
For me those songs that drag us down to our darkest times, give me strength and understanding of how I’ve grown from those times.
I came to this understanding as I pondered why I enjoy dark sound imagery. It’s a growing experience. The Cure “Robert” are masters at this.
As a hard core metal-head, I LOVE this!!
I know I've commented before but I had to shout out to my other Cure fans and scream, I'M SEEING THEM IN JUNE!!! AHHHHHHH!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!
ME TOO!!!!!!!! i’m seeing them in atlanta and i’m SOOOOOOOO excited
@@alienlapdanceI never got your response until now. What did you think??? I thought it was beautiful, magical, and so much more. I swear if Robert doesn't bring the new album out soon, I'm going to start feeling muderous!! 🤣🤣🤪🤪
@@CBaller2020 it WAS beautiful!!!! even 3 months later it’s still unbelievable that I was in THE SAME ROOM as Robert and Simon and all the rest of them. I was in the veeeery top seat so not great quality vids/pics but definitely great quality time. i love them so much, and i do hope they come out with at least a new song by the end of the year💔💔
really wish I could go see them in south america but i don’t think I could get tickets again!! I’m glad you had a magical time too
Us too!we saw them in June of this year in Boston show!🥰♥️🖤 fantastic and memorable!
Fabulous ❤
So pleased to find this here. My favorite live performance. I wore out my VHS copy many years ago!!
Wonderful concert.. The Cure at its peak! great lind up.. Boris shines with his uncanny ability and great live sound.
This was their absolute peak. I saw them in the Prayer Tour in 1989 but this. Oh to have been in that crowd during Shake Dog Shake. ❤
Hands down the best concert video ever.
J'étais aux arènes de Frejus la veille de celui d'Orange. Même concert et même Robert inoubliables. Je suis toujours fan mais les chansons de ces années sont particulièrement toutes magnifiques !
Je n' ai pas pu assister à ce concert mais j ai fait Fréjus en 89 et Marseille en 87..
One of the best ever concerts by the greatest band in the world!!! The Cure forever!!!
This is pure magic, pure joy, pure memories, this makes live worth living. My favorite band ever!❤️❤️❤️
❤
I owned this VHS in high-school and I gave it to my hot friend, Choi Wu. She was so cool. I gave her all my Cure imports.
Thanks for doing this. I haven't heard in over 30 years.
I've done this before too. All for love, eh?
I still have this on VHS ;)
Saw Cure's first US appearances back in, hmm, 80 at the Ritz. I was heavily into their sound and will listen again for a bit but today, 40 yrs later I can only listen for a while otherwise it gives me a gloomy mood. It reminds me of bad times with an ex bf that I'd rather forget. With that, I bid you goodnight.
I need to get me some Choi Wu
First time watching this, long time Cure fan. Incredible gig! 😍 will definitely be watching this one a few times.
My favorite Cure line up.
I thought the same but after repeated listens of the new album the current is really good as well. Pearl is definitely missed thou. Roberts compositions are really orchestral on the new album.
My god...he absolutely nails the vocals in 'Push'. so great. especially at 45:51. makes the hair on my neck tingle.
I agree 100%. I love him and that song so much 🖤 it was one of the best moments when I saw them live last year. I'll keep it in my heart forever.
Fave song off HOTD
Just had a mini splurge before i go night nights... A Strange Day, A Hundred Years, A Forest and Faith ❤❤❤
I cry every time I listen to this masterpiece, if only I could live one day back, that's where I'd want to be.
The place they're playing in is the oldest and best example of a Roman Theatre. It sat decaying until renovation started, and began seeing regular use for varied events in the mid-1800's. At the time of this recording, the "Orange" had recently been added to the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Bought this VHS day it was released, still got it. Had it converted to DVD, but this ...wow !
Many Thanks.
Here's (still) hoping for the Blu-ray !
Epic show. Not a cell phone on sight. Everyone is connected through the music as it should be
Folks with cell phones are still fully enjoying the show. wake up old person!
Yawn.... people using phones are still watching and enjoying the show.
..listening to it in mono, now that’s progress 🤨
The definitive version of Sinking. They have never played it better since.
I ❤ The Cure! This concert is exactly why I fell in love with their music. That love has grown thru the yrs & has made such an impact on my 12yr old son, who accompanies me to their shows (when we’re lucky enough to get to see them in USA). Thank you for being a constant in our lives. Love always ❤
Sigh, what a time, what a band, what great memories. Emotional AF right now watching this again, I have the VHS but no player lol so I'm over the moon to be able to watch it and save it to my 'LEGENDS' playlist on here! 😏👍🏻❤️
