To people like me this was The Cure
Me too. Awesome they are🎹💜
I’m sure that is meant to sound cool and not at all absurd, but my guess is the Cure sounds like the Cure to lots of people…
@@tylerskiss First of all they didn't say "...this sounded like the Cure" but "...this was the Cure" and also: what is your point? Just trying to get some attention even if people think you're a twit?
Have a great day :)
shared.
this was a great time.
Exactly the same to me
Seventeen Seconds (1980), Faith (1981) and Pornography (1982): if they’d done nothing else, they’d have been talked about for One Hundred Years.
Those are my three favourite Cure albums - by a country mile. For, they are the band's true "trilogy".
Very true.
Something about this room makes it appear as if they are inside a dollhouse.
Most probably the greatest trilogy in music history. Legendary for those who know
Yeah but then they did in concert in 87 one of the sublime-est songs ever written: Snakepit.
Oh God, they were all such cuties back then. Getting old sucks !
Robert still sings like his young self. Can't say that about many aging singers! Beautiful....
The early Cure era just gets better and better with each decade that passes. Nobody else would dare make music like this nowadays - or, if they did, it would be ignored. How lucky we were to grow up in those times.
What's that about no one making music like that these days? ;))
Ih they make music like that, it just doesn''t get acknowledge anymore.
@@KeimpeJ Too true, maybe one day though!
@@twistedecstasy809 With all artficial emotionscomes a gulf of purity.
@@KeimpeJ 'Gulf of Purity' sounds like an excellent goth/emo band name.
Robert Smith once told an interviewer that fans he meets whose favorite Cure record is Pornography are by far the most interesting.
This is my only song as my life goes down to the depths of what I may never have the strength to crawl out of..
Damn makes sense

@@samanthanorth5882 did you make it out yet? You have to, because I have more videos coming.
The best song on the album and my all time Cure favourite
Dark, Abrasive, Minimal, Emotive, Beautiful. My favourite Cure period ❤
me too
Don't forget Hopeless..
Opresive Depresive
That will never leave you!❤
Minimalistic indeed❤
Insane how Robert Smith was in his early to mid-20s writing these masterpieces and performing them with a 3-piece band!!!
The Beatles wrote better masterpieces in their early 20s. Paul wrote some when he was 16. So, insane? No.
Haha, so no matter how great someones' art is, you can basically always say: Nah, this person did it better at a younger age. What a terrible argument.
@@michaelsuder486 This is way more interesting than any twee beatles rubbish
The first song is so awesome..
I haven't watch much more after yet... Plan too but I have a a lot of plans too watch quied up waiting...
But the 1st song he looks like a young Bob Dylan. Wonder if he's a Bob love child?? Ha!
@@timtrefz5450 Bob Dylan?
don't see it.
One of the best albums of all time
Oui absolument
I second this.
The Figurehead is a masterpiece!!!
I had forgotten just how good it is
It keeps reminding you, pornography is a HARD album
The effect that hearing a piece of music can have on the mind is incredible. I clicked on the video, and heard the first few beats, and IMMEDIATELY was transported back to 1982! I can remember spending the night at my friends house, and being in his basement, playing that record (which was actually his oldest sisters) and trying to look cool by smoking cigarettes (which we stole from the older sister too)! Some of my greatest memories are from the 80’s.
Well said "a piece of music can on the mind" Pornography upon Pornography
Same
Kids no longer gather to listen to music, it became some sort of disposable product they no longer care about....having an hi fi set these days makes no sense to them

Where's A Strange Day?
Thank you
Thank you for the timestamps ❣️❣️
FYI - "Killing an Arab" (inspired by Albert Camus' L'Étranger) is now sung as "Killing Another".
They seem much more ‘together’ to me in that Australian interview than one would expect from this particular period. At least from all I’ve read and heard about that era. They all seemed very lucid and clear.
Not sure what I was expecting. Drooling and vomiting? I dunno. 🤣🤣🤣
Epic - as a sensitive teenager with musical proclivities living in the neglect of full-blown survival mode with no clue how to process emotions - this music was a steady companion. I am forever grateful.
glad you made it
When this album came out I felt I'd finally found a band that understood what I was going through. Changed my life.
Beautifully put! Same!
🤘🏼
Many more GenZs are plunging into despondency by the day now, where you dare n care reach out, "your not alone", breathe, dare to blow thru the creeping malaise~~》
Sadly, no Strange Day. But this compilation is incredible for old fans. Thank you very much. Pornography is one of the better LP ever made. My grandparents, passed away for years, offered me this album for my 10th birthday (yes I listened to The Cure at 10), remember the day like yesterday. And I still listen to it at 50.
Agree. A strange day is my favourite...
Hell of a gift from grandparents to a 10 year old kid! Your grands sound like they were very progressive. My grandparents gifted me little Jimmy Osmond’s “Long Haired Lover From Liverpool” single when I was little… just for contrast and comparison. 🤣
Kool..Generation X
LOL. My Mum and Dad got me 17 seconds for Christmas when I was 13. When I played it later that day my dad was like "what the hell's that gloomy racket?" They obviously had no idea who The Cure were. It's quite an antidote to the Daniel O'Donnel and Cliff Richard that they listened to.
My favorite too.
Pornography is by far their darkest,second being faith. This is great stuff. Haunting vocals with the tempo of the bass,guitar and drums
Figurehead feels Joy Divisiony
Faith has the BASS
Totally agree. Alternative haunting soundscape of the 80's. If you know you know
That whole three album run, beginning with Seventeen Seconds and culminating with Pornography is basically a three-stage descent into the darkness (with Pornography being basically a free-fall). After Pornography there was nowhere left to go but into the light. I’ve heard many people use Pornography as a reference point for later albums, but I just don’t hear it, at all. It was a one of a kind, “use once and self-destruct” album that can never be replicated or repeated. I still have difficulty even to this day trying to explain the magnitude of it to the unconverted.
Faith is bloody brilliant. There is one song I dislike (Doubt) but the rest are magic. All Cats Are Grey and Funeral Party are just sublime.
Opening song...so dark...so awesome. The Curw back then....always on my walkman everywere I went.
Same. Had just moved to London and would go upstairs in the bus and just roll around the city and trip out. It felt so good
Where Joy Division started The Cure finished. Seventeen Seconds... Faith, when Pornography came out it was the absolute pinnacle of sound - lights out, shine - The Trilogy lives.
Disintegration was fantastic too.
@@Shikta-poobah67
The Velvet Underground launched a thousand Bands.
@@alanstrom2221 And almost all of 'em were better than they were. lol
As good as Ian and joy division was there was no guarantee that they would have seen their success continue. With Robert and the band we have proof of his immense talents. 4 decades plus of genre bending music. My generations Beatles.
@@tommyapocalypse6096aintnoway
The songs are so heavy and sad in these versions. The unrelenting sensation of doom in the album is really expressed. I love it!
I Remember back in the day,like 88,for me,I was in California,in the service and I befriended,this short little Goth dude,with Jet Black Hair,and a pierced nose.He was Playing,Pornography on a cassette tape.l told him that I dug the Cure,and saw them on MtV,back in 82,for I Want To Go To Bed,video.He records me with my heavily stereo chorused effects and delays on the guitar,with a tape recorder.Came back the next day with the Sampled music Into something Totally different,and Amazing!I Bet This Guy Became an Amazing Goth or Something within that Style of music,Producer!Take care Fans!
I saw the Cure at Elephant Fayre in Cornwall in 82 or 83? Anyway it was a wild time in Britain with free festivals.I took a lot lsd and mushrooms and when the Cure played they wore masks and seemed as tripped out as the audience who were all crazy .I don’t think people now would believe how out there life in the British counter culture was
Sounds pretty awesome to be honest.
I was at the last free Stonehenge festival. Thatcher's Police troops were fighting Scargill's miners in The North. It was the end of an era and a birth of anew.
The Times where MAD, loads of Festivals, loads of drugs , loads of Bands not giving a shit , fecking just being out there .
Absolutely loved this album … figurehead, cold, a strange day, short term effect… drums bass and guitar all unique and brutal
+ Charlotte Sometimes
Wow the first song…best post punk song I’ve heard I think. Epic with feel and musicianship
In 1982 I was 9 years old. My dad played a lot of this early stuff Joy Division, U2, The Cure, Killing Joke etc.. amazing.. of course I couldn't admit I liked it back in the day.. went metalhead instead just to annoy him ;-) but later kept coming back to this era.
Не люблю металлистов, но тебя понимаю и принимаю!
I hope your father welcame back his Prodigal Son ...
Me 2.now metal seems so crass compared to so many bands that I like now from this Era n beyond..had to find out 4 myself
40 years later I still can't get over these beautiful, moving dark melodies of death . Their peak.
It's Fri, Oct 13th...it's raining and cold, and today is my late mom's birthday. Somehow this being recommended to me right now is perfect. ❤
It's getting dark and it feels like rain
And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world
And I feel so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead
without mom.... the world is just not the same. keep praying for her soul to have eternal bliss.
The most gothic of Smith’s albums. I was too young for Pornography when it released but after hearing Disintegration for the first time and having my mind blown I immediately got my hands on every disk I could and this will always be my favourite.
To me this (Pornography) always transcended goth. It’s really in it’s own unique category. I mean yes, obviously some *VERY* ‘goth’ overtones, but it goes even deeper than that. It’s the sound of total dark catharsis. It’s the sound of a man purging his many demons.
It's not Goth, never was. Its anger and frustration moulded in the best of songs.
Wait until you hear the new Album. 🙄
@@Shikta-poobah67 To be fair, he said "gothic", not "goth". The term "gothic" does not necessarily have to be used in a generic sense.
@@Albrecht777 To be fair (since we’re splitting hairs), the term “gothic”, when taken in its literal context, is something that pertains mainly to a style of architecture. There is no direct link to music. The closest it comes is to describe a literary style, defined as:
“of or relating to a style of fiction characterized by the use of desolate or remote settings and macabre, mysterious, or violent incidents”
In that sense, I suppose one could interpret that particular definition conjures up some of the same imagery that the lyrics and music contained in Pornography do, but I think it’s fairly obvious that’s not what the OP was going for. Then again I don’t profess to speak for the OP. I think it’s only fair that he/she should probably speak for himself/herself, don’t you?
I cant believe it.. Is that seriously more than 40 Years ago??? I remember that i walk to the Record Shop to buy the Pornography LP as it comes out.. And i got it til today..
I nvr gave these guys the time of day in the early 80s when i was in high school when i was into floyd and rush and sabbath etc. I still listen to all those , but I listen to the CURE a lot now, and musically id put him on a shortlist of most consistently underrated guys. Additionally, who else can write both such sad and such happy songs? In short, I dont think anyone….ever
I went to high school in the mid 80's and I was a metal head. I knew who The Cure were, but I didn't give them the time of day either. It wasn't until I heard a mix of Let's Go To Bed in 1989 that I started listening. I saw them in 1992 on the Wish tour and from the moment on, they have been my favorite band.
This was the album that introduced me to The Cure and it still stands as my favorite
In the 80s, we had to be lucky to see those performances, mostly for us living in Canada where European stuff were very rarely broadcast. Just a little things here and there... Now with those gems uploaded on RUclips, I feel like I'm getting a lot of things that I missed on that era. It's so amazing... Thanks for channels like Definitive Cure for sharing all that. ❤❤
Timeless compilation for a timeless band. The Cure is like no other!
Si jeunes et déjà si créatifs et plein de poésie ! ❤ Si jeunes et déjà si talentueux ❤❤❤ j'avais 15 ou 16 ans. Leur son se reconnaît dès les 1ères notes. Love Robert Smith 's voice and the great bassline of Simon Gallup❤
Particularly enjoyed this loved this Cure era. They always have super cool great hairdo s too...Loved the Figurehead version they just dont write songs like that anymore
Yea. This whole album is FIRE!!
Love the dark dark dark vibe.
The new stuff coming they have the new album very disintegration, a New darker than pornography album, and A solo album by robert..all in the works, so 3 in total ..I cant wait to hear them ..He will bring back that good ol maudlin feeling ..
@sycksyngyrl hard to recreate that feel of those 80s albums when you've been a multi-millionaire the last 30+ years and almost 60+ years old.
Lsd, weed and Youthful angst created those dark productions of the past we all love.
@@sycksyngyrl Cant wait to be depressed lol
@@sycksyngyrl which means one album will come out. I've learned to temper my expectations. Every time I'm told that multiple things will come out, it is always just one. The last time they made good on the promise was Lost Wishes in 1992 and even that was supposed to be a full album of instrumentals, haha.
Unique & authentic drumplay!
Lol Tolhurst best drummer in the band ever. Cold and Short Term Effect: underrated pieces.
Nah, their best drummer was Andy Anderson by a mile.
@@kdphotos4691 Boris Williams was the best drummer
Simon on Cold though! Had no idea he played those tones with his foot while playing bass! 😍😍
Another great bassist that did this before Simon was Geddy Lee in Rush.. that guy was playing 2-3 instruments at the same time. Unreal.
I noticed him playing some beautiful melodies w that Ricky n pedals
yes but I'm sure Simon never did it for attention like prog does
it's really cool to see him work those pedals with his feet.
The Cure. Music of my teenage years. I feel incredibly grateful for theirs great work. Simply speaking I love them so much.
In the earliest days of RUclips as a tween getting into goth/new wave music I remember all these videos scattered around the site, just really transfixed and these being the first instances of me REALLY appreciating music, really having "my" band... its definitely some very challenging stuff, and IMO the most "goth" The Cure has ever been as I find them more to be a unique blend of all sorts of sounds and styles and never really easy to categorize.
My favorite era of The Cure ❤
Thank you so much. It is really hard to find stuff from the Pornography era. Saw them in Hamburg back then. Till this day one of the greatest gigs I‘ve ever seen.
wow, that must be a great memory. I didn't see them live until 1992, and I thought that was their last tour. I am so thankful they continue.
Hey dirk,,.biste im Oktober dann auch dabei,..the cure live,.barclay arena??
@@_-_-_-Prof.BoskoBiathi-_-_-_ Ich lebe in Berlin, überlege noch. 130,- Euro die günstigsten Karten. Pornography gab es für 15,- DM😎
Until very recently, yes it was definitely a struggle finding any kind of footage or even photos from the Pornography era (which was actually pretty short-lived, but *VERY* intense). For some reason, lately there’s been a flood of stuff from that elusive little period. I don’t question it. I’m just glad it’s happening and I spend as much time as I can enjoying it. I was already into The Cure during that period, but I grew up in a region of the USA where they didn’t tour until ‘84, and though it was only two years later, they were a completely different band by then. Literally.
So, this stuff is priceless to me. It scratches an itch that has been nagging me for over 40 years.
Thanks for this. Way too little material from this wonderfully dark record on RUclips.
Love the dark psychedelia of it
I was blown away the first time I heard this record. I was already a Cure fan but the heavy, marching rhythm and dark psychedelic vibe of Pornography was something else entirely - and something I identified with immediately. I've always held this record (alongside PiL's Metal Box) as an all-time favorite and among the era's best, and both had massive influence upon me as a listener and as a player. I rarely listen to this stuff anymore, but when I do I still get chills. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you so much for the compilation ! I still cannot believe how creative Robert Smith was at such a young age... My favorite band ever !!!
Wow, the version of 100 years....off the scale
Thanks for sharing. Got something of this on an old ruined videotape but something is brand new to my eyes! How many memories it unveiled, how many feelings…I was in my 16-18 when I discovered The Cure…it was 1987-1989…they donated so much power and self confidence to me…a shy boy that deeply found himself in dressing in black and expressing his innermost soul without being feared of nothing, with this music acting like an armour. Thank you for these songs, so deep, so sad but so chrysalis-effect at the same time.
we are the same age, discovering the band around the same time period. It is nice to know the experience is shared in those special years of youth, and the power of their stories over the past decades just keep getting better.
Love seeing Lol on drums❤
He was definitely a better drummer than he was a keyboardist, that’s for sure. I mean, he was no Ginger Baker, but he played drums with a lot of heart, and he had this signature style of playing where you could hear a second or two of his beats and immediately know it was him. It was perfect for what they were going for at the time. That whole cold, dark, minimalist thing.
He also kind of gave Budgie a run for his money on Pornography. Really pulled the tribal thing off beautifully.
The violin loves his melodies.
The purity of their age. The heaviness of really. Des garçon. I remember the chords. His voice. Bass line. Drum. I knew I'd be okay.
Excellent performance of Play For Today !
Still my favorite album... cool old videos..clips.
The cure en su estado puro, material invaluable
siamese twins and the way they incorporated these modern dancers is a very understated highlight of their career, absolutely crazy and brilliant combination
This was BY FAR their best Work! Bought Boys Don't Cry upon release and everything.... After Pornography they were....🙄
Did anyone not wonder who those two very weird little dancers were with a random old woman sat on a chair? Slice of surreal pie that video.
That old woman on the side of the stage makes, for me, the surrealistic aspect of the video, specially when she moves out in the middle of the song.
Those were the 2 principal dancers from the royal ballet.
This is amazing footage! One of my favourite eras of a great band
Trop top The Cure... Pornography : l'un des meilleurs 😊albums, n'est-il pas ?
Звучит свежо, как будто вчера исполнено ! Гении
My/our era of the Cure....fantastic performances.....
Wow what a great upload - thanks!!! Don't think I've seen Robert play the synth before... What a great album Pornography is, absolutely phenomenal!
I saw them on this tour at St Germans, Cornwall at the Elephant Fair. . An outdoor festival, a simply amazing experience! . R.I.P. Darrell Bowen, sadly missed my friend.
I read Lol Tolhurst`s "Cured" biography - It is a wonderful monument of all the little details he and the band went through in grim & dull Crawley. One thing i really appreciated is that they were all so authentic & genuine in what the did back then ( or even still are) - They live the life of the music they play.
They're not authentic. They're a pop music group. Pop music is not authentic
To watch Robert on keys while Lol is so deep on the drums and Simon on the Taurus Pedal while the high melody on bass, blows my mind.
I just LOVE The Cure....❤
Stumbled on this.
listened.
the hanging garden
brought back the most intense feelings.
reminded me of lost youth
Best time for the Cure ... miss it so much
I'm obsessed with this album
This is terrific! Thanks for uploading. Love it!!!
you're welcome, I'm glad you like it.
Desperation never sounds so delicate.
Merci! The video is a gem of history, the sound of a 3 piece band makes it rather cold in comparison to this last tour in 2023, the sound is bleak and cold. It matches the songs feel, perhaps it was that cold war era that made everything seem so gloomy. I've never seen RS play the keyboards either, or Lol speak in an interview. Back than Robert had a full head of hair and it was magnificent, so young and just barely tasting their success. It seems so long ago. Well it was truly a pleasure to watch these clips in particular Siamese Twins with the violins and the ballet dancers, what a beautiful mix. I also enjoyed the animation of A Short Term Effect. It reminded me of Tool's Sober video.
The times really didn’t factor into it that much (the cold gloomy vibe), as much as Robert’s own personal demons he was battling at the time. He was in his early 20’s, having an existential meltdown, and coping with it by dropping copious amounts of LSD. This is all according to his own personal accounts and recollections. It had very little to do with anything going on in the world. It was all extremely personal in nature.
🙄 I'm not surprised by your insight wow! I feel for everyone who's own success have brought so much pain
@@Shikta-poobah67
One of my favourite all time bands ….unique and beautiful ❤
Great compilation - thanks!!
The kids have their various stuff today, but nothing compares to how music was absorbed during the early 80's, and how people congregated in groups, all dressing like their idols.
Gangs of Punk, Mod, Rocker, Skin, New Romantic, Ska, Reggae,....Walking the city was a feast for the eyes.
And right up there with the best, 'The Cure'.
The Best The Cure Era for me!
I'm not one who really cares a jot about the rock and roll hall of fame, but when they do the inductions my wife likes to watch so I watch it with her. I remember Robert's speech and he seemed like he was getting choked up, and he talked about Simon he said "he's been there EVERY.STEP.OF.THE.WAY". I found that really touching. Watching this made me think of that. I don't know anybody...save for my brother and sister that I knew in 1982. : ( : ) : ( :) happy sad happy sad
Love how you added Short Term Effect at the end, even though it isn't video. Their best ever song imho, and the Paris version from '82 might just be the best version too. I saw them in Australia a couple of times prior to '82, then I moved to London in '83. As such, I missed the Pornography tour, which remains a regret. As far as I know, they never played this song live again until Trilogy, and that version is just nothing compared to this. Thanks for the effort that went into all of this.
yeah, they never played Short Term Effect again until the Trilogy shows, which was a shame as it's an excellent song!
The closest time they came to playing it was probably during the Prayer Tour for Disintegration in 1989.....they always had the second encore (of three played) that was almost a mystery where they would slot in songs that would see a couple of airings.....stuff like All Cats Are Grey, The Holy Hour, It's Not You, Accuracy, etc.
The July 24th show from that tour in 1989 saw them play their last gig at Wembley Arena.....since the word going around by Robert at that time was that Disintegration was going to be the last Cure album....this was going to be the last show in London.....so they pulled out all of the stops for that show......slipped in some extra songs during soundcheck and played what was then their longest show they ever did...something like 40* songs, I think. They played Siamese Twins for the only time since 1983....until the Bloodflowers tour in 2000.
* - EDIT: I just double-checked....35 songs! But the show ran over three hours....almost 200 minutes.
I used to have the whole show on 3 cdr's back in the day.....but now you can find it on FLAC if you know where such music can be had, lol. Good sounding audience tape too! I know for a fact that the band recorded the show professionally, maybe they'll put it out one of these days....that'd be cool!
@@furnitureconsortium I bought the Wembley show on the 23rd on cassette from a record store in Ft Lauderdale back in like 1991 I think it was. Still have it somewhere. I love that show. Holy Hour is a personal fave. I just checked setlists, and noticed that the American tour ended the shows that year, and saw that if they had decided to break up, at least they ended the final show outside of Boston with Forever, which would have been a fitting song to go out on. We should keep our eye on the festivals in South America to see if they close one with Forever as that surely would be the death knell for them playing live anymore.
I went to a few of the Pornography UK shows, and had bootlegs of 90%. Bristol is the nest Short Term Effect by far. Loved them in 80-82, hated them after when RS became a Prat.
That is the essence of the cure, as far as i knew & adored them in my teenage years in the late 80s.
...fantastic...it feels like body-crash...you immediately feel like doing something unreasonable...maybe taking a space-alien drug cocktail in connection with a freak accident....🦇
Thank you so much for uploading this! This is my favourite The Cure era and by uploading this you made my day
one of my favorite albums of all time! so Robert IS playing a bass 6 on primary !
Yes I noticed that too.
This is some primo footage of the band. Some their finest work imho, just glad that Robert and the band pushed through the misery of early 80's Britain. With Thatcher punishing poor people into dust and taxing the rich out of the country it would have been so grim, and the music reflects this. And yet, the tunes and experimentation with effects and studio trickery are still amazing to this day.
The Cure Gold! Love it 💙💙💙😍
Having searched for anything on the cure in 83. Mostly only the French press spoke much of them. To have had this. Just perfect. It's just got Better. Merci Robert. Lol. Simon. As always. All a constant. #stephansong
I just saw them this summer. The outdoor venue was terrific even in rain delays standing room only. That voice is just as great 30 years later.
Not really. Yes, it still sounds like him, his despondency, but the anger is gone. He sounds tired.
@@conradzooYeah, going on the footage I’ve seen and listened to (most of it is very high sound quality), it definitely doesn’t hit as hard as it used to. Not that I would expect it to from a man in his mid 60’s, but I often see and hear people talk about how he’s supposedly just as visceral today as he was in the early 80’s, and I just don’t agree.
@conradzoo well he's sad about being older and losing family. A few of the new songs are about that. A higher angry youthful voice was a product of his teens and early twenties when the first four albums were recorded.
30 years? Sorry to break it, but it’s already 40 years… ;)
@@everpuremusic dang!
This is such a great collection of videos from that period of The Cure.
They apparently use to have a bucket of magic mushy tea in the studio as well, which they would consume at their leisure
that sounds delicious! I have had some Shroom Tea recently and it was a good time.
After going to the states I heard they got into qualalodes and booze excellent cocktail to take the edge of mushrooms

“I look at myself in the mirror for the first time in a year”
With music like this it's hard not to become entranced, it's evil, I love it!
Thanks. It's not really evil, but it is very dark and psychedelic.
Wow this is amazing - thanks! Just saw them in Boston and Robert and the band still sound incredible. ❤️🖤
indeed, i was there too. a bit too heavy with head on the door, though. the night before in monteal had some stuff from faith, pornography, wild mood swings and 4:13 dream.
His voice has held up really well for his age and they are musically as good as ever. It’s funny, the self titled album by the cure that came out in 04 or 2006, as some of the heaviest stuff ever! There’s definitely one track that is absolutely the heaviest cure track I’ve ever heard!
I love them as a 3 piece band! So amazing how big their sound is
This is actually pretty awesome
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I really love this period from The Cure. Too bad there isn't a lot more video from this era.
"A Short Term Effect" was eerie enough in the studio, but this version takes it to a whole new level 😮
It's 1987, I'm holed up in my dark teenage bedroom burning incense with Pornography on my cheaap all-in-one Sanyo stereo - the die is cast!
All is good...😢
Thanks for sharing. I'think Steven Severin played bass on riverside ballet (siamese twins in 1983).
Wonderful! Wonder when someone will upload a 45 minute version of one hundred years, have only read about it, the audience left before the end of the song...just wonder why
I'm not familiar with that story. When was that?
I’ve never heard that story either
@@thedefinitivecure9298 I heard a story that fans left and a fight was caused and the fans were begging for the band to play already due to airlock causing them to go insane
@@reddays8448 Airlock is definitely a recipe for an agitated/insane audience. The tension in those venues must have been palpable.
I've never heard about this either and I've followed this band closely since like 1987, and have read multiple books about them. Never once heard about that...
Wow nice to hear Molly Meldrum from Australia interviewing The Cure
that voice OMG
Excellent (ex)rarity of this magnificent performance of one of The Cure's saddest albums. Thank you very, very much for the upload.

The Dark Trilogy = the band in a nutshell. So many masterpieces. So much unachievable talent in their early days.
U am going in june to see them and can not wait!!!
I'm so excited the tour starts in 3 days. I think we're going to hear more new songs. But I have to wait until June too. I have tickets for several shows.
Whoa! Insanely cool footage! Thanks for sharing! Cold left me cold! 'Your name like ice, into my heart'
