The thing is, even over 40 years later, it still sounds like it's music from the future. This period of The Cure was so ahead of its time we may never catch up. Audacious in the extreme. Kids creating the music of gods.

No f*ing idea how this got in my recommend list, but... I was THERE, 17 yrs old, at that concert. Bloody brilliant. Wow, memories... The interwebz is a strange place.
@@saintlacy: yes, it was awesome. I was an impressionable teenager who hadn't seen much live music yet -- end of the seventies, middle of the Netherlands, different times with just one record store in town to help you discover new music. What I especially remember is the strong soaring basslines on the mono synth they used -- I already was a synth-head back then, tried (! lol) to build my own monosynth when i was 15, played lots of Wakeman, Tomita and Tangerine Dream records, so hearing rather explosive synth-basses was cool and impressive as hell. Later when I bought the _17 seconds_ album, I was heavily disappointed that the synths on the album were nowhere near as present as they had been live. Stil my fave Cure album though -- somehow has stood the test of time afaic.
For some reason I never went back and actually listened to early Cure records. They are excellent, I definitely prefer them to the more famous stuff. Way more of a post punk feel.

I was only 14 years old. Robert Smith is still the boss of The CURE after 40 years of career. Now he's 63 years old. OMG ! Memories...memories... I miss the eighthies. The haunting sound of The CURE was so beautiful and perfect !
I found The Cure in the little later 89s...no internet or nothing...I had such incredible images of Robert and the band in my head when I listened to their music.I would scrape every music magazine or news article about them and just to get some kind of photograoh or picture of them...and I found very few. So now 30 some years later with their music giving me the same feelings as it did back then..to be able to watch clips so easily like this is so amazing its like rediscovering the band
I rember sitting in my mates kitchen early 80s and a forest came on the radio..wtf is this ...i was instantly hooked forever..saw the band not long after that.
We hardly knew what any of them looked like back then, pre-Internet. We hardly ever saw pictures of them in magazines. They were practically _never_ on TV.
It's actually amazing when kids didn't have any technology, money, internet, and still...they were so brilliantly creative...with pure deep artistic skills...❤
Friendly Ghost it is pretty cool to watch him play the helll out off the high-hat! So young. I think as Robert started to evolve as a songwriter Lol couldn't keep pace with more complicated percussion. Got moved to keyboards. Then just out altogether! Alcohol destroyed his talent.
I have had this concert on tape since 1981 and I have listened to it many times. Seventen Seconds, Faith and Pornography have Always been my favs. Some call it depressing music but the early Cure gave it a warm sound. The music gave me a nice feeling and still does.
I was born in 1972 and I remember growing up in point pleasant by the beach and all the cool surfers and new wave goth guys loved the cure. I remember also this cook i used to work with at this grungy bar/restaurant called the idle hour on rt 88. This guy whose name was glen had this mid 70’s look complete with mustache and hairstyle similar to meathead from all in the family and he was a huge cure and violent femmes fan. Not goth or punk or new wave looking at all. I remember at that point realizing that you don’t have to look like the scene to be a part of it.
@@scottjohnson8316 You have spoken volumes with that last sentence. From when I started loving underground music in 1987 to this day, I have always had a neutral/nondescript appearance and never a desire to be what I call a "costumer". Thanks for understanding.
Exactly No ONE was playing ANY of these chords or these progressions at that time. NOT ANYWHERE. Their early genius, and what set them entirely apart as a nearly undefinable sound at the time of this concert recording, was just that. NO ONE sounded anything at ALL like this. And likely, no one else ever will.
Agree with you ! The CURE are Legends now. We will always remember. We still do listen to their great songs forever and ever. May 2022. Still listen to their songs and never boring. The greatest band of the early eighthies ! Unforgettable sound !
Nah, they were continuing what Joy Division started - and then later found their own stride. I'm not here to be a contrarian. I could have said "sorry to break it to you" but it's never a bad thing to be better educated about what you love :) [was into it then, I'm 51 now] Siouxsie's music at the time paralleled The Cure's. Bauhaus was at it from another angle and a bit earler, too. Other than _Love Will Tear Us Apart,_ Siouxsie's _Hong Kong Garden_ was probably the most influential single in all of British Post-punk. With The Cure, _10:15__ or Fire In Cairo or Boys Don't Cry_ had some impact as singles, but the Cure's massive influence is more due to how their creativity manifest over several stages - over at least 10 years and many lineup, songwriting/style and sonic changes. The differences from TIB to Faith to TheTop to HOTD to KMKMKM are so many, that Smith and Lol were two of the only common denominators to be present in all of them. Ciao :)
This performance includes and captures a special moment in history...A Forest...one of the greatest songs ever written, a classic of a genre, of a time and a place, being performed - not by a group of regrettably aged men, but by those same men, at the time they conceived it and full of the youthful exuberance all 4 band members equally - which is so often overlooked - brought to its conception....
So young and so great yet ! May be the greatest time when The CURE was : Robert Smith, Simon Gallup and Lawrence Tolhurts ! I was only 14. Now I'm 56 and I still listen to their haunting sound and great songs. Timeless band now. Worldwide fame : they deserved it !
This is one of the best early Cure shows! I’m grateful someone recorded it I can still hear it! Their music was so ethereal and atmospheric back then! Fantastic!
This is what happens when all the right elements find each other. Minimalist and perfect. One of my fave Cure eras. I got into them in '84. Saw them live for the first time five years after this was filmed.
Chicken pox, I’m 22 and already a massive fan of the cure, I’m dutch and just the imagination of being born 60 years earlier and finding out about the cure and attending to their concerts makes me feel weird and kinda sad
Fine UA-cam algorithm bring me this video!! I ‘am listening THE CURE since 1984 / 1985… saw them in concert the first time in 1986 and the last time …last week 8th November 2022 ( my 17th concert ) … thanks for this sharing!!!
I liked The Cure since 1983 when a friend bring to my home a LP (property of his older brother) to play it in the home console, since then I am a loyal fan... I went to every concert than they played in Mexico, even in Monterrey city, it takes me 12 hours arrive there... last time this november in Mexico City !!!, and one before this, they played for around 4 hours !!!!
I saw them in the same year or 1981 in Rotterdam, never had heard of them but the sound attracted me to a huge tent where I paid 5 guilders for entrance. Sold for life!
This was the soundtrack to my life around 1986. Six years after this concert and the birth of this sound is how long it took to get to me in Florida…and for us to understand it. Lol. Crazy how art is birthed and moves around the globe and permeates. Funny how the crowd watching this is mostly trying to understand it also…except for a few dancing in the front, probably friends of the band. The rest of the audience is trying to figure out what the fuck they’re seeing. Some will understand this moment, eventually.
There's a purity to their sound early on and although they went on to arena size venues and crafted more pop tunes their first 3 albums still have my attention
37 years ago...wow...i saw them in 82...touring in a circus tent..touring obscure little towns, including my own, Harderwijk, the Netherlands...the middle of a meadow...remembering some people standing in line, giving this guy shit for wearing a Pink Floyd shirt he just scored at the shows for The wall ...walking into the tent...great atmosphere...playing Faith in it's entirety...followed by a few from Seventeen Seconds...into Pornography...everything clicked!.,,
The Music is so genius and well put together you forget it's just a few dudes with real instruments. Ulike a lot of sampled music today. It's so timeless never seems out of date.
That's actually rather straightforward. It's a Fender Precision, played over an Acoustic amp using a hard pick. The rest is in Simon's style. He's a good player.
The best version I've heard is the 9-minute, minimal keyboard "F*** Robert Palmer, F*** Rock 'n' Roll" version: ua-cam.com/video/SXgN-7A1MXM/v-deo.html
What a journey this band has had. Wow. All the great music. I mean just brilliant masterpieces. Robert Smith is one of if not the best songwriter and musician in music history. So multi faceted. Can plunge you into the deepest parts of dark human emotion and on the next LP send you to the moon with happiness. Wow. Love 'The Cure'. Last time I seen them was in Miami Florida right next to the water. 2016. Missed them This last time. And hope they come again. Our bands are getting old and someday will leave to bask in much earned rest and retirement.
This is fucking amazing. Thank you. These songs are so Cure. They still fit into every gig they choose to play them. Timeless band. Timeless songs. ❤️❤️
The cure were the second band I ever saw. Newcastle city hall on the “faith” tour. I was 15. It completely blew my mind. And they’re still my favourite band. My favourite era cure is this: austere, stripped down, uttterly utterly brilliant
I was 8 and already into new wave. My brother was 4 years older (RIP) so i had access to all his albums 😊. Its kinda funny to see Robert without the makeup. Great band. Tnx for sharing this.
I've always been an obsessive Cure fan with a copy of everything they've ever recorded (all the unofficial stuff too) and my old iPod has dozens of their concerts but Zeppelin were different and their first live concert on here is something else - ua-cam.com/video/k-WSbMW7BPc/v-deo.html
I come back to this clip all the time... Something about seeing a young Robert and Simon just gets me right in the gut... This is glorious. Long live the Cure!!! One of my favorite live shows ever...
I'm reading the most wonderful compliments and I almost 68 I didn't hear the cure until 1989 .At 37 years of age I has to ask myself why have I not been searching for those sound!! I WAS ,I just didn't know until I heard the cure that I had needed them .their sound. The sad innocence of the dark scarred southeast trying to get cold but . Too much for me the Cure Rock then The Cure rock now.
Dit optreden heb ik zonder overdrijven een paar duizend keer teruggeluisterd, ik heb het cassette bandje nog steeds :-) Wat mij betreft hebben ze dit niveau daarna nooit meer gehaald, ze waren toen echt vernieuwend.
Holy shit they did the Jumping Someone Else's Train/Another Journey by train mix! I had a late-70s demo recording on cassette of them doing the same but haven't heard it in 25 years!
I've known the big hits from The Cure for a long time (Friday I'm in love, boys don't cry, just like heaven, lovecats, close to me lovesong) for years, but only really delving into their discography as of today! Man this album from what i've heard is good. Mad to think that The Cure have been around for as long as they have, who knows maybe in a couple months they'll be my favourite band
The thing is, even over 40 years later, it still sounds like it's music from the future. This period of The Cure was so ahead of its time we may never catch up. Audacious in the extreme. Kids creating the music of gods.
Absolutly Right .. So ahead, so young and so Brilliant already 😻💜

Roland RS-09 Organ/String and Korg 700S for the Keyboards set up... That's it!
Smith used to keep telling the keyboardist to stop trying to flower it up...just keep it simple.
I agree with everything you say, although I have absolutely no idea what you said
Happy New Year 2023
I come back to this clip all the time... Something about seeing a young Robert and Simon just gets me right in the gut... This is glorious.
Long live the Cure!!!
One of my favorite live shows ever...
J. Evan Wade You’re forgetting Lol
me also. i allways come Back and looking this
The jam session starting at 10:30 - never knew the cure could go so rockabilly. Almost beach music that jam is.
There is nothing like the Cure. I love them
I'm reading the most wonderful compliments and I almost 68 I didn't hear the cure until 1989 .At 37 years of age I has to ask myself why have I not been searching for those sound!!
I WAS ,I just didn't know until I heard the cure that I had needed them .their sound. The sad innocence of the dark scarred southeast trying to get cold but . Too much for me the Cure Rock then The Cure rock now.
Dit optreden heb ik zonder overdrijven een paar duizend keer teruggeluisterd, ik heb het cassette bandje nog steeds :-) Wat mij betreft hebben ze dit niveau daarna nooit meer gehaald, ze waren toen echt vernieuwend.
Dat schept een band, ik vind alleen dat het niveau door de jaren heen wel hoger geworden is, het was gewoon anders, met een super basgeluid, dat wel.
Ik moest werken maar onverwacht vrij gekregen had wel kaarten maar het is de radio geworden. Gelukkig waren ze in Leeuwarden.
Ik ben zo zo zo jaloers, 22 jaar nu… wat hebben jullie het geluk gehad om in de jaren 70-80-90 opgegroeid te zijn :)))
Que hermosa época en la que la música era hecha a mano y estos jóvenes en aquellos tiempos vaya que sabían lo que hacían
😊
Young geniuses at work!
my favorite band of all times
At this early age, the talent and so ahead of their time.. I’m crazy about this performance..
This is simply superb and.my fav Cure era
Amazing. Saw them in '80 & '81.
Holy shit they did the Jumping Someone Else's Train/Another Journey by train mix! I had a late-70s demo recording on cassette of them doing the same but haven't heard it in 25 years!
É tão bom ver a quantidade de pessoas que ainda é fã do The Cure
So fucking good! Fan of the "old" Cure forever...
I've known the big hits from The Cure for a long time (Friday I'm in love, boys don't cry, just like heaven, lovecats, close to me lovesong) for years, but only really delving into their discography as of today!
Man this album from what i've heard is good.
Mad to think that The Cure have been around for as long as they have, who knows maybe in a couple months they'll be my favourite band
