i’m the same age as you. my first Cure record was Happily Ever After. i’d come home from school and play this record on the family room stereo. oh Lord did i drive my mom crazy LOL. we were so lucky back then in Los Angeles because we had KROQ and Rodney Bingenheimer. he played all the great English punk and new wave bands.
Simon always had the best bass tones. Always sounded amazing and was always flawless live which is something that is very very important in a three piece band where there is normally a lot of room for error. Perfect and reliable bass player. Technicality isn’t always everything.
I think that even when this tracks were more focused on something and attractive, following a theme, which is cool. The last songs are way elaborate, like masterpieces. (I mean, I could hear one of the last albums but only a few songs)

"Play For Today" It's not a case of doing what's right It's just the way I feel that matters Tell me I'm wrong I don't really care It's not a case of share and share alike I take what I require I don't understand ... You say it's not fair You expect me to act Like a lover Consider my moves And deserve the reward To hold you in my arms And wait And wait And wait For something to happen It's not a case of telling the truth Some lines just fit the situation Call me a liar You would anyway It's not a case of aiming to please You know you're always crying It's just your part In the play for today
My sentiment exactly - of all the music and bands I have listened to and loved, only the Cure remains. Saw them the other day live with 15,000 others - as good as ever. My only regret is that I didn't see them then. Regrettably I didn't discover them until Kiss Me. Love their early stuff.
Another great Cure song which can't be allowed to slip through the cracks. Really early on in their career here. The musicianship is excellent and I see a hunger to succeed here. Fantastic.
I like Robert smiths guitar playing, it’s not the most technical playing, but he created very unique guitar techniques and his style sounded like it was traveling through the song
for the longest time, i thought it wasn't Lol actually playing the drums on the recordings, but some sort of drum machine... this video convinces me otherwise. damn. he's a metronome!
The cure was at its Peak in music at this point in my Opinion. All the same band members should have stayed it would have been incredible to see them live.
Это созвучие которое создали парни около 20 лет а Именно Толхрсет,Смит,Гэллап и Хартли Оно просто гениальное,это пронизывающий каждую молекулу пространства звучание 🥵🥵
When did crowds started singing the ohs? Since they clearly do it yet in 1980. I think it adds to the song and is a bonding thing between fans and band. You know you doing something right when its not just ppl singing along but adding to the music.
I was 17 years old then. Now I'm 57 and looking back The Cure was not only a great band but a big support in difficult times.

You're 3 years older than be, so I'm thinking you must have been 15 in 1980...
@@mjoet731 he literally said he was 17 back then😂
happy 60th birthday man
@@mjoet731the comment was written three years ago,now he’s 60 to assume
Dear god, they were so tight even then. Easily one of the best bands ever.
they are the best band ever
they are the best one ever. Light years ahead of the competition...
Fucking phenominal! I wouldn't believe the quality if it wasn't the best. But fuck. This was the year I was born!
@Skullchewer - Which really surprises me, too: How Lol's drumming could be this tight while moving in his strange way is a mystery to me!
Robert Simon Laurence the Best line up pour moi
Simon's bass tone here is killer.
Always 🤛🏽
Simon always had the best bass tones. Always sounded amazing and was always flawless live which is something that is very very important in a three piece band where there is normally a lot of room for error. Perfect and reliable bass player. Technicality isn’t always everything.
@@jagaz1239 i hate the sound he uses for latest shows
Simon is the Cure soul .. the one and only ❤️💙
@@miragemiria yeah that flanger is way too much bring back this punchy precision bass tone
first four cure albums are my life
And live gigs
I think that even when this tracks were more focused on something and attractive, following a theme, which is cool. The last songs are way elaborate, like masterpieces. (I mean, I could hear one of the last albums but only a few songs)
They were the best. Still are.
全くもって異議なし！
Still sounds fresh. Timeless stuff.
Simon Gallup Great Bassline👍🏻👍🏻
Dear Oliver, he is a very underrated bass player. I have to agree with you.
love robert's guitar playing in this song
His voice and pitch are great also! ...not to mention that bass! :-)
Fucking bass is awesome
bass line to live by , my favourite Cure song :-)
simon gallup is awesome!!!! :)
this early stuff is like crack
Yes dood, smokin'!!
Only band in the world where all instruments and the voice are equally prominent both then and even now.
one of my favorites ever,Simon's bassline is always so fantastic
It's Michael Dempsey's Baseline

"Play For Today"
It's not a case of doing what's right
It's just the way I feel that matters
Tell me I'm wrong
I don't really care
It's not a case of share and share alike
I take what I require
I don't understand ...
You say it's not fair
You expect me to act
Like a lover
Consider my moves
And deserve the reward
To hold you in my arms
And wait
And wait
And wait
For something to happen
It's not a case of telling the truth
Some lines just fit the situation
Call me a liar
You would anyway
It's not a case of aiming to please
You know you're always crying
It's just your part
In the play for today
Thanks a lot for the lyrics ! 👍
It's crazy but this might be my favorite video on youtube.
I've always loved way Simon's bass sound, especially live, could almost rattle the fillings out of your teeth.
I love the way Robert Smith uses the harmonics in the intro.Always been one of my favourite Cure songs.Great upload!
Other bands I've let go of, from my past... Never let go of the Cure. Great band. Love this early stuff.
Agreed……you can always return to the forest 🌳

I miss those days!!!
Stunning!!
41 years ago and still going strong - never seen this clip b4, wow wow wow
…and the magic still remain.
One of my favourite songs of all time
Pieces of my soul literally sticked to that bassline. Love this song
It's so cool to see them from those days. A privilege to have such a great quality video. And an awesome performance of a great song!
That´s the keyboard tone this song must have.
Eso se llama TALENTO
No se aprende, no se compra, no se imita.
Sencilla y maravillosamente, ES.
También es trabajo duro.
robert smith is marvelous on the guitarr and gallups bas is amazing...brilliant song
Absolutely amazing 😍 I love the cure
My 13 year old niece is a new cure fan. Tanks to this track
They’ve always sounded incredible live
Favorite song of all time from one of their first albums... Amazing n that bass line the best!
great bass sound
Ohhh yes! :-)) I'm always a bit disappointed when the bass is too low in the mix in some of their live videos.

@mitchell dries - The way it *looks* when he's drumming, it should be anything but tight. But amazingly, it is!
This the cure I fell in love with as a young man.
EXCELLENTTTT!!! Force and song! The Cure!!!
Much preferred early cure,,,saw them 3 times, 79/80
J ai 49 ans et j écoute the cure depuis que j ai 14 ans . musique que les moins de 20 ans ne peuvent pas connetre
Standing on the beach/ staring at the sea ; The singles includes this version, one of the best !!
what a great band and bassist
I love the cure all my homies love the cure
I saw them live in the eighties. Live changing for me ❣️
A great live version of one of my favorite songs of the Cure, and such good quality! Thank you.
Just love these song.
One of the greatest band of my life... 2021, still enjoy it
It is a MASTERPIECE!❤❤❤
Love the cure. Not a day goes by I don't listen to this amazing song. ✌
fantastic !! I wanna go back now please!
El rey de reyes... New wave punk .... Lo mejor de lo mejor.... Te amamos Robert
My God, DAT BASS!!
I wake up everyday with this song as my thyme awakening..LMOA, when is it going to end?
The Cure. Uma das grandes bandas de todos os tempos; TOP 10 for all. 😎👍
Crackling with energy, that lot. Completely confident.
incredible! and the way a concert should be
Excelente performance, de um disco muito bom!
The cure was at its Peak in music at this point in my Opinion. All the same band members should have stayed it would have been incredible to see them live.
45+ years and still rocking like they did in their late teens..,..

@Michael Anderson - I had first heard it on the 'Paris' live album. Great version, too! Also the one of 'At Night' 😀
@Michael Anderson - But I think there actually *are* a few people singing along to the synth line here, too! 😀
thank you from Canada!!!!!!
VHS MTV 120 minutes was the first time I was this video.
The best piece of music ever created.
Lo maravillosamente sorprendente es que en este año que corre, suenan casi igual 🎉🎉🎉
My fav Cure track when I was at college on this release. To me the first 4cure lps, pre Goth tag, are the best. So clean bleak and if the time
Play for today, play for today...
I will always love you....
The cure makes me sing cry scream and have fun the Legendary Cure😂
Great song, terrible de buen sonido, listen to 2019?
epic...! so 80's
mas que impresionante !! el bajo de gallup es infernal !!
thank you for posting
Love the mullets ....looks like me 35 years ago
So great
no gimmicks, no over cute looking, just play music straight to the edge. dunno why they changed the style afterwards.
Espectacular.......
This is great old stuff. Thanks for posting it.
AWESOME bass play.
esto es oroooo
Powerful !

This song reminds me, I need to return some video tapes
Sorry this is a year old but i laughed so much LOL
Astonishing. Always in my mind.
probably the best bass
Shades of Frederick Nietzsche and Albert Camus.
Brilliant.
This version is way better than the studio one: here we have a killer bass!
RUclips: how many times have you watched this video?
Me: yes!
What a great version
forever love
Mi guitarra favorita
Thank you!!!!! from Italy
quel look en 1980! à l'image du son brut de décoffrage pas d'édulcorant le top!
salvando mi vida
good job @impressionofsound
Robert Smith is A Genius , whats a killer live song !
Закрой за мной дверь я ухожу 🔥🤘
Love them then and love them now.
When you see the crowds for recent concerts, it seems bizarre to see the Cure playing to a small audience.
Such great lyrics
awesome thanks for the upload!
