Hahaha it just keeps getting better! I’m so glad that this album was the only album I had on my iPad as a kid. It was all I’d listen to on road trips and it has blessed me with good music taste.
I am going to be 71. Cure fan since the beginning. Just seen them last year with twilight sad opening. Best band. Cool band. My band. Love to all of them forever ♥️♥️
Yeah mate. I'm sure your arms will feel it for the rest of your life, mine do. I'm sure we've both done some crazy things... Better world for it though, you gave to so many who appreciate it. UK will never forget. Best wishes to you either way, respect, you played awesome.
This is one of those songs i can listen to again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again....
So great,I see them. in 1987 in Berlin.I‘m 55 years old but when I hear this I feel like I‘m 21 again.....and again and again and again....So gorgeous🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍!!!!!!
Basse à 6 cordes. John Deacon de QUEEN était doué avec ses basses 4 cordes mais là, Simon Gallup déchire grave avec ses basses 6 cordes. Il est génial !
No, but close. They played a 20 minute long rendition at their Xmas '87 Kiss Me tour gig at Wembley Arena that I went to, half that was a guitar solo by Robert - absolutely magic. Almost 30 years ago now, sheesh!
I gotta say this was one of the best live versions they ever did. Saw them in ‘’87 and ‘93 (twice). Plan on seeing them in ‘23 but this time I’m taking my 14 yo son. Gotta train the kid right! Cheers Cure fans!
Cure to this day. 1st show in DC. 84. Lived in London after. Twin daughters now 21. Their background is Cure based. Thanks for sharing. Another note, Cure helped and publicised a band from Seven Sisters that i saw live multiple times. Same genre. 84-87? Any knowledge or feedback appreciated.

It's 2024 and this song has NOT aged. In fact, if you don't watch the videos and just listen to anything in The Cure's catalogue you cannot know when these songs were released. That is how good they are. In fact if you listen to the Cure now and listen to Robert Smith sing "A Forest" live, he sounds almost exactly same as he did 40+ years ago and possibly BETTER. Cheers from NYC!!
I saw this live in Sacramento, May 7th 1992, The Forest was the last song they played in the last encore, it was phukin PHENOMINAL, will never forget it
+Joachim Peiper Neither will I (And I got my tinnitus started on the same tour on one of their venues in Sweden). Still remembering the length of that gig as so great (four hours something).
This version is amazing. The Cure at the top of their game, playing one of their absolute best songs. And nice little touch of Joy Division toward the end! 🤘
This is one of my favorite songs by The Cure. They are my favorite band in the world. I was born in 86, but i grew up listening to 80s and classic/heavy metal music. 80s music will always rule!
Hey good music comes from the soul thus making it timeless I'll listen to anything that has some soul in it. No need to restrict based upon time. Which is why mainstream music usually does not have ppl revisiting it in 34 years. Not always but c'mon I'm not about to meditate w/ ice ice baby.

I'm sure the beginning was planned, but when Robert starts riffing vocals, I think it just descended into musical genius and improv. One of the best live cuts of anything I've ever seen or heard.
Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again...and again
The year 2024 is speaking here. It still is and always has been The Cure's hottest song. There are many other songs but this one is outstanding. I will never forget the 80s and the beginning of the 90s... it was an amazing time. Puberty, slowly growing up (if you did at all). The rebelliousness you felt inside. You just didn't know exactly what or who you were rebelling against at the beginning. When I close my eyes to this song, I'm back in those moments, which makes this song so amazingly real. It's so cool how this song brings back so many memories. Smoky discos, the smell of teen spirit (literally, not because of the Nirvana song). A bottle of beer in hand and everyone doing the same Cure-style dance. Along with the Sisters of Mercy, The Cure helped me through every depression, relationship drama, stress, heartbreak and all that other fucked up shit. And now, all these decades later, not much has changed. Ok, you've gotten older, the problems and worries are perhaps of a different nature, but they're somehow the same, just from a different perspective or in a different way. The Cure is literally the cure for such situations. Growing up sucks sometimes.
Oh Sisters of Mercy are a favourite!!! I went into a record shop in Bendigo Australia in 1991 and heard this amazing music over the shop speakers. It was Sisters of Mercy! I fell in love in that shop with their music. And they had to order it in for me from the UK. Still have it. Wish I hade seen The Cure when I had the chance 😢 I’m a bit older than you, AC/DC and Alice Cooper were my teen angst music. But in a good way. I was extremely rebellious and my mum was on Valium because of my behaviour but never crime or drugs. And I actually ended up working for the police here for 15 years. I turned out ok, in spite of my mother thinking I’d end up in prison. 🤣 This performance of this song is fricking amazing to this day!!!!
I absolutely agree......,...but please spread your net wider..........."Bare", may be their best ever........some may say "disintegration",.........l suppose it depends on wild, mood swings,.........we all have.,.......,.only remember.,,..........there is so much choice...........a nice day or evening, wherever you are..........x..................!
I always liked The Cure but... damn.. I never realized how good their live stuff was. Been all over YT now and am discovering a whole new "The Cure". Easily have to say: their live stuff is FAR better than the studio cuts. Over 20 years and I have never checked out a single one of their concerts - have been missing out big time.
I'm 51 and still listen to The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, Love and Rockets, Pink Floyd, Mazzy Star, Portishead so many more.....but The Cure has a special place in my heart and mind. The lyrics and emotion behind the music is so original it's the best. I have almost all their albums, but Pornography is one of my favorites. I've been lucky enough to see them in concert a few times, and they are incredible performers, the crowd was always fully engaged.
,pornograhy is brilliant, yet so underrated..,...........l think people were wary of the title..........it was about politics, not perversity..,..........
I was there with my dad when i was 10 years old. In fact, i think it was this same show because i believe this is Philadelphia, PA. I'm not totally sure tho
But, to me, the 1989 moment was even more energetic. If you hear entreat LP and some of the videos of that tour.... god... Boris was on his very finest moment bringing the time a bit up to all the band.
@@413dreaming I'm trying to do some discovering as I never really listened to Joy Division (not my times, discovering this by myself). What song exactly is that riff from? Cause it's absolutely mindblowing
Don't forget the others........forty years is pretty long..........l agree, completely.............'though watch page/Thompson live, on lullaby.........
If you love the cure, and you have access to London, try Camden market..........word of mouth.....,..underneath the bridge..........after lockdown.........to be absolutely honest.. ..stay safe and well........
Watch for every little iota...........,amongst the expected...........few l think would've seen plant singing lullaby......he is astonishing.......,.but the weirdness lies with Robert Smith......as does the song.........take a look...........suss it............
And again..........but seriously dig out the music from albums and films...........a lot..........try treasure,,,,,,,,,,,,,bare...........whatever,............so much,..............
My Dad showed me this song and when i heard it i listened to it again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN and again and again and AGAIN😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨 BUT i SITLL love it😃
this is exactly how it was when they played in Philly late 80s early 90s. This song just blew everyone away…they just kept going with that bass, seemed like forever. It was brilliant. we were all in awe.
my father in law worked with Ian Curtis at the DHSS in Macclesfield during the late 70s. he died recently and just happened to be cremated at the same place as Curtis. he said that it was such a shame that he was so unhappy, and that he was an articulate , helpful and very caring individual... a pleasure to work with.
Bowie agreed..........only he named them "eccentric",...............l wonder why..........check out his 50th,. birthday gig..........you'll like it.........
I thank you for replying..............l don't speak the way print comes.........it is true on dvd and reality............,..he also quit at the bar when people started arguing over songs.......l don't blame him............luck & stay safe...........
A qualification.................nice, polite, argumentative, brilliant, stupid........cos they have many forests to venture into.........nice week.,.,.,.......
I met Robert Smith in West Sussex (UK) in the summer of 1997. We’ll, I say I met him, he was in a pub and I was in the same pub and I said hello Robert and he said quite graciously and quietly, hi how are you. That was it, then two weeks later I met UB40 in the same pub, again I say met….
I've seen them live 20 times, in 6 different cities. This is the best performance ever and that tour was the best I've seen too. The Cure forever and ever.
I remember listening to this song at 15 years old, now I'm 54.and I still listen to this song over again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.

Basically any version from the 80s
11:13 he plays "She's Lost Control" !! Damn Genious!
i'm not the only one
Hi thanos thanks it’s been driving me crazy of course it’s joy division
Love it, Robert Smith is quite a musician, it takes a lot to blend one song in with another in the way that he did.
@@nme87 True.
What a wonderful tribute !
It's 2024 and this song has NOT aged. In fact, if you don't watch the videos and just listen to anything in The Cure's catalogue you cannot know when these songs were released. That is how good they are. In fact if you listen to the Cure now and listen to Robert Smith sing "A Forest" live, he sounds almost exactly same as he did 40+ years ago and possibly BETTER. Cheers from NYC!!
Saw them live recently… it was unbelievable good!!! Their music 30 years later and still sounds amazing!!!
At his age Smith has still a great voice and from his guitar comes out the same magic we could ear in the 80's.
I saw this live in Sacramento, May 7th 1992, The Forest was the last song they played in the last encore, it was phukin PHENOMINAL, will never forget it
I agree!!
+Joachim Peiper The song is called A Forest...not The Forest
Keith Redmond Yeah, I know
+Joachim Peiper Yup, saw the same show in Miami, and I agree, this was the most amazing part of the concert. Unforgettable.
+Joachim Peiper Neither will I (And I got my tinnitus started on the same tour on one of their venues in Sweden). Still remembering the length of that gig as so great (four hours something).
This version is amazing. The Cure at the top of their game, playing one of their absolute best songs. And nice little touch of Joy Division toward the end! 🤘
i think this is their best line up honestly, Porl on guitars man
11.15-11.25 joy Division -She lost control
road house blues too
The best live version I have ever heard
@@markusanderson1517 Oh yes 😁
Saw the cure In London early 90s stupendous and life changing
13 minutes and 46 seconds of Nostalgia and Goosebumps
The best 13.46 minutes of my life. So sorry for the 1.014 ppl who got lost in a forest and disliked this. You, people, missed the greatest eargasm.
They couldnt see the wood for the trees
I wanna be lost in the forest forever! 2019
TAKE MEEE HOOOOOOME!
Woodentops
That's sad how ppl can dislike something so wonderful like this, but that's their life, we have this ! :D
My favourite Cure song for driving down a dark road with a destination still to be determined.
extendo mix of the walk does it for me
Coddiwomple!
The Ardens
Someone has studied his kabbalah.
The same for me
The Cure - the soundtrack of my life. Thank you for the music.
I never felt more jealous than of people that were my age in 92, rocking to this SPECTACULAR live performance.
I don't know how old you are - but I saw this live in 1992 when I was 15. And it was EPIC.

@@zoeherriot I’m 26. You inspired me, I need to see them live before I die 😢🎉
@@rebeccanascimento8234 you won’t regret it :)
Chills down my spine ...
it's always the same... all alone...
Wish I could jump through the screen... To be there and to be back in 1992.
Saw them last night in Toronto 2023! Still as good as ever!🎉❤
40 years & I’ve never seen them. What I would give❤
This is mysteriously exotic. Truly a masterpiece.
the album _Disintegration_ changed everything for The Cure, ensuring them a permanent foothold on the world stage.
I'm crying for this piece of beauty.
Simon is just a monster. Robert and The Cure are a magnificent band. Without Simon Gallup, it wouldn't be the same.
There is no Cure without Simon Gallup IMO!!!!!
This is one of my favorite songs by The Cure. They are my favorite band in the world. I was born in 86, but i grew up listening to 80s and classic/heavy metal music. 80s music will always rule!
Hey good music comes from the soul thus making it timeless
I'll listen to anything that has some soul in it. No need to restrict based upon time.
Which is why mainstream music usually does not have ppl revisiting it in 34 years. Not always but c'mon I'm not about to meditate w/ ice ice baby.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr.Simon Gallup on bass guitar !!!

I've loved the cure forever...so many tunes but this version this tune ...unbelievably the best without a doubt
I'm sure the beginning was planned, but when Robert starts riffing vocals, I think it just descended into musical genius and improv. One of the best live cuts of anything I've ever seen or heard.
They quickly get in the Zone and never look back. This is much greater than the sum of its parts.
They all made this perfect
The PERFECT live version!!! BRUTAL!!!!

God hes beautiful
A technically straightforward bass line which created a legendary track - one that has remained ageless through time.
The year 2024 is speaking here.
It still is and always has been The Cure's hottest song. There are many other songs but this one is outstanding. I will never forget the 80s and the beginning of the 90s... it was an amazing time. Puberty, slowly growing up (if you did at all). The rebelliousness you felt inside. You just didn't know exactly what or who you were rebelling against at the beginning. When I close my eyes to this song, I'm back in those moments, which makes this song so amazingly real. It's so cool how this song brings back so many memories. Smoky discos, the smell of teen spirit (literally, not because of the Nirvana song). A bottle of beer in hand and everyone doing the same Cure-style dance.
Along with the Sisters of Mercy, The Cure helped me through every depression, relationship drama, stress, heartbreak and all that other fucked up shit.
And now, all these decades later, not much has changed. Ok, you've gotten older, the problems and worries are perhaps of a different nature, but they're somehow the same, just from a different perspective or in a different way.
The Cure is literally the cure for such situations.
Growing up sucks sometimes.
Oh Sisters of Mercy are a favourite!!! I went into a record shop in Bendigo Australia in 1991 and heard this amazing music over the shop speakers. It was Sisters of Mercy! I fell in love in that shop with their music. And they had to order it in for me from the UK. Still have it. Wish I hade seen The Cure when I had the chance 😢 I’m a bit older than you, AC/DC and Alice Cooper were my teen angst music. But in a good way. I was extremely rebellious and my mum was on Valium because of my behaviour but never crime or drugs. And I actually ended up working for the police here for 15 years. I turned out ok, in spite of my mother thinking I’d end up in prison. 🤣 This performance of this song is fricking amazing to this day!!!!
If there were to be just one song ever... this is the one
My daughter goes to sleep to this song everyday. Its so hypnotic..it literally wipes her out. I LOVE THE CURE!!!
toti
Coolest mother ever :)
I’ll try this type of lullaby
Sweet Dreams young lady
I absolutely agree......,...but please spread your net wider..........."Bare", may be their best ever........some may say "disintegration",.........l suppose it depends on wild, mood swings,.........we all have.,.......,.only remember.,,..........there is so much choice...........a nice day or evening, wherever you are..........x..................!
I play this at least twice a week. Can't tire of it
I always liked The Cure but... damn.. I never realized how good their live stuff was. Been all over YT now and am discovering a whole new "The Cure". Easily have to say: their live stuff is FAR better than the studio cuts. Over 20 years and I have never checked out a single one of their concerts - have been missing out big time.
I'm gonna see them for the 1st time this July 2023 in Miami. I'm 43 & been a fan since the 80's. I'm stoked!
Agree... and know the feeling on not having seen em.
Trilogy is great !
I'm 51 and still listen to The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, Love and Rockets, Pink Floyd, Mazzy Star, Portishead so many more.....but The Cure has a special place in my heart and mind. The lyrics and emotion behind the music is so original it's the best. I have almost all their albums, but Pornography is one of my favorites. I've been lucky enough to see them in concert a few times, and they are incredible performers, the crowd was always fully engaged.
If you like Arthur Lee & Robert Smith you are doing something well,.....nice week..,...........
,pornograhy is brilliant, yet so underrated..,...........l think people were wary of the title..........it was about politics, not perversity..,..........
So you have beauty & excellent taste...........so!
I did mess up cos Arthur Lee had a band, Love...........a mate of Doors & west coast bands......,.forever changed is a classic........
Changes.,.......my fault.
Blessed are those that attended this outstanding performance!
I was there with my dad when i was 10 years old. In fact, i think it was this same show because i believe this is Philadelphia, PA. I'm not totally sure tho
I went to Madrid show that year. November 1992. Amazing performance at the old Palacio de deportes.
But, to me, the 1989 moment was even more energetic. If you hear entreat LP and some of the videos of that tour.... god... Boris was on his very finest moment bringing the time a bit up to all the band.
@@Mr215Alive Your dad's a stud for taking his 10 year old kid to a "The Cure" concert!
They shall have the earth for their possession.
Still gives me goosebumps and touches my soul 35+ yrs later
First band I saw live. 1995 San Diego. Before the show I juggled a ball with Robert et al. Rad!
I watch this video about twice a week.. every week..
sathlin, so you’ve watched this about 56 times since you posted that comment?
more than that.. almost every day..
sathlin me too
It's awesome.... And for my the way to end the song is really fantastic...
I been watching this since I was 16. Im 35 now. I still got the VHS
I was at this concert ! Was 16 and this version, to me, is the best live of this unforgettable song.
where was this amazing concert please?
Lucky
wow i can’t believe you were able to experience this live, such an amazing songg
That's so awesome. I saw them in the late 90s when I was a kid and this video brings back so many memories. They were incredible live.
@@jeancharlesdiaz8260 I saw them in Halle Tony Garnier, Lyon France, that year on 17.10.1992 but I do not know if this is the one.
one of the best bands ever if you ask me. And this has got to be one of the best live performances of any song I've ever heard..........
This is the best song of 2023, that has found me, listened to it 30 times, found me yesterday
That joy division tribute was so beautiful.. I really wish I could see them live again, it changed my life
Portia Janes I love that part. Right at 11:15
@@413dreaming I'm trying to do some discovering as I never really listened to Joy Division (not my times, discovering this by myself). What song exactly is that riff from? Cause it's absolutely mindblowing

@@thebigkrischan Joy Division - She's lost control
Classic Cure. I'm 52 and have loved this forever. Continue to listen again and again and again and again and again.........
And again and again and again and again 😁
Don't forget the others........forty years is pretty long..........l agree, completely.............'though watch page/Thompson live, on lullaby.........
If you love the cure, and you have access to London, try Camden market..........word of mouth.....,..underneath the bridge..........after lockdown.........to be absolutely honest..
..stay safe and well........
Watch for every little iota...........,amongst the expected...........few l think would've seen plant singing lullaby......he is astonishing.......,.but the weirdness lies with Robert Smith......as does the song.........take a look...........suss it............

Fantastic version
That crowd witnessed live perfection. Absolutely superb version of a great song.
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT wym I literally was able to see the cure 3 months ago and there's ton of amazing new music lol we're doing alright
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT they were doing new music on the tour yes.
I saw them the next two nights on this tour. You're not wrong, they were firing on all 4 cylinders.
68 years and still loving it!!!
62 here and I feel the same as you do!!
Cure so underrated, definitely one of the best.
Absolute nonsense. You don’t get inducted in to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by being underrated.
this is exactly how it was when they played in Philly late 80s early 90s. This song just blew everyone away…they just kept going with that bass, seemed like forever. It was brilliant. we were all in awe.
Joy Division tribute at 11:11. So heart warming.
She's lost control
so cool
No.
my father in law worked with Ian Curtis at the DHSS in Macclesfield during the late 70s.
he died recently and just happened to be cremated at the same place as Curtis.
he said that it was such a shame that he was so unhappy, and that he was an articulate , helpful and very caring individual... a pleasure to work with.
What a nice anecdote...I've always heard nice things about Ian...
What. A. Masterpiece.
People thought I was odd playing this on the jukebox in the pub . Now they appreciate how truly amazing this is. Love The Cure then and now.
It's a sin that this version is not on Spotify 😭😭
Im nearly 50 years old and this is one of the songs that got me into music when I was younger....pure genius and a classic.
me too
i'm almost 40 and i was 15 back then.. same. still one of my fav songs ever.
No band will ever come close.
I am almost 20 and this song got me into music when I heard it for the first time when I was 5
Cool, when I get to be around your age - I'm sure to love them just as much !
Simply one of the greatest British bands of all time
Bowie agreed..........only he named them "eccentric",...............l wonder why..........check out his 50th,. birthday gig..........you'll like it.........
Simon Gallup described Cure fans as polite & nice people...............check, "Trilogy",.................l think he was right................
I thank you for replying..............l don't speak the way print comes.........it is true on dvd and reality............,..he also quit at the bar when people started arguing over songs.......l don't blame him............luck & stay safe...........
A qualification.................nice, polite, argumentative, brilliant, stupid........cos they have many forests to venture into.........nice week.,.,.,.......
@@williamwilkes8177 nice one Billy
I met Robert Smith in West Sussex (UK) in the summer of 1997. We’ll, I say I met him, he was in a pub and I was in the same pub and I said hello Robert and he said quite graciously and quietly, hi how are you. That was it, then two weeks later I met UB40 in the same pub, again I say met….
Where?
I've seen them live 20 times, in 6 different cities. This is the best performance ever and that tour was the best I've seen too. The Cure forever and ever.
As an Australian, I am so jealous of you!! You lucky devil!! They never came here often enough!!!
Would love to have been there…v.special memories for you. I live vicariously ☺️
