This is by far the best live performance of this song that I've ever heard. Thank u so much for the amazing upload. I just uploaded this song from the 6/19/16 show @ Madison Square Garden. It's filmed from a distance but it sounds great. Drop by for a listen!
Listen to the Santa Barbara 7/1987 version: the recording is better, clearer and the playing just as good, of all the tours I've seen of the Cure, 1985 upto 2000, the 87 Kiss Me was the best, "hands down"----in the Snakepit...
this is a great version. when they played it on the dreamtour in '00 it was not as good. porl and boris really make this one rock out while still preserving its psychadelic feel.
This, and Santa Barbara 1987----I saw LA and SD shows from Kiss Me tour, which may have been the Cure's best, and for this song, Forest, Perfect Girl, and Cockatoos: of the 500 concerts I have seen this would be in the top 10, with Miles Davis, The Rolling Stones, The Sex Pistols, John Lee Hooker...
Snakepit Live version,in my opinion,is much better than the studio version.I think it is strongly influenced by The Doors oriental taste (in songs like The End, Indian Summer,etc.).This influence is also evident in the album The Top and in Smith's side-project The Glove (1983).
The Live versions of Snakepit from 1987's Kiss Me excel and way surpass the studio and all other live versions I've heard, which are about 30; there are other outstanding versions on YT from 87, including Santa Barbara from July; all the American version seem both longer and better than the UK ones which were earlier by a few months, and the American and European Kiss Me tours may have The Cure s best tour ever.
I spoke too soon! I had not heard this version from the UK, as it definitely stands up to the USA and Euro ones, maybe surpasses them, but there is so much to hear, learn, and live upto...and Birmingham, the birth-place of that other pioneering band of doom-ladden, tragic, melancholic rock, Black Sabbath. My God.
Yeah...Snakepit is my favourite on Kiss Me as well! Haunting song!
Great live version. That bass holding the drone sound. Very East Indian. Psychedelic and hypnotic. One of my favorites.
the best version snakepit live..
that synthesizer...i have no words.absolutely no words.
Best track from the cure
great live version. Love it
TheCurE, arty material forever!

This really should correspond to a segment of The Wizard of Oz, perhaps their sleepy run through the poppies?
