This is The Cure that knocks me out!! The Dark Trio. The first three albums are incredible.. Stand up still after all the years..as good as the later stuff is, it's pretty much RSmith and Co. This took the three of them to pull off these songs,in most cases, better than the studio version... Lightning in a Bottle!!!
17 through Po** are the best for sure. We can't dismiss tracks like 10:15, 3IB, Another Day, those are the ground work to their classic sound. I'm counting 25-27 songs around that pre-17 era, there's undoubtedly a great album in there...
This version of the Cure is just life enhancing . As good a joy division at their best I suggest. And then along came lovecats. I lose the will to live if I ever hear it. Right up there with happy talk by Capt sensible or the absolute crime against humanity that is Mull of kintyre. I had the good fortune to see the cure and Siouxie and the Babshees on the same bill in Belfast. The night Robert Smith stood in for Steven Severin as the Banshees fell apart . It was probably the best gig I ever saw.
Really a great contemporary document. Just think about how long ago that was and what a great set list there was, unbelievable .. The next step, for whatever reason, was towards the "Pornography" album - indicated for me with songs like "Charlotte Sometimes", "A Forest" or "Faith", which are brilliantly embodied here one after the other as a matter of course. Personally, I like their album Pornography the best because it embodies a sound that is second to none and that we loved incredibly much. Is there actually a proper biography about it that explains why they chose this musical style back then - I think there are some people who really know the history of the band .. Thank you very much for posting it 🖤🍷
My favorite Cure album. Just listened late last night/early this morning. In a bit of a mood. Now I find this. Thank you. I have a copy of the L. A. Show, and I had the 12” Charlotte single now long gone. Thank you for this. Sounds good.
I was at a concert by The Cure in August 1981 at the Capitol Theatre Sydney Aus. The sound quality you’ve provided is much cleaner than at the gig. Memorable concert. The Capitol was a great venue. At the time a very faded old beauty with wonderful but decrepit ornamentations. It perfectly suited the music. Thanks for posting.
The quality of the Sydney concert is awesome, The Cure have so many great early songs (A Forest, Other Voices, 10:15 Saturday Night, Charlotte Sometimes, The Holy Hour). This is just compulsively listenable...
We were there for this gig, me and whitey were about 15 y o my brother 13. Was a dreamlike hour or so, where we kind of woke up at the end and thought Wow! Got to go backstage and smoke a big doobie with Lil, Robert sitting quietly to the side looking distant, untouchable. True story.
wow cool recording i also cant believe the Cure played in Wollongong leagues club August 10, 1980 but i was underage so i would have been blow away to see them in a small venue
I used to have a cd bootleg of the cure in sydney 1981. Beginning of one the songs Robert says ''If your gonna gob and chuck cans F**k off home'' Brilliant.
The year was 1981... Nineteen fucking eighty one... My god this is such a gem... Forget about any reunion show you have them at their best with good sound right here. The first 4 albums were the best by far...
@@yourib5152 Yes I know that, Siouxsie & The Banshees are my favorite band from that period just like The Cure, Bauhaus, Joy Division etc, by the way Robert Smith played with them after the departure of Macay from SATB, then he replaced the genius guitarist and musician John McGeoch and he played their concert album Nocturne and participated in the recording and creation of their album Hyaena, in one word Robert is a fucking genius, I have to mention The Glove project with Steven Severin from SATB and of course the brilliant The Cure's albums like Faith, 17 sec , Pornography, The Head on the door, Disintegration etc and their concerts from the past until today.

Despite its stylistic diversity, Cure was above all a composer of expressionist aesthetics, always close to drama, depth, anguish and the deep and tormented vision of life that seems to emanate from the metaphysics of man as of his very deep nature🔥🕊
The Cure are still a great band but I'll always prefer their early 80s concerts to their 2023 music. The energy and anger / edginess is overwhelming in the early recordings.
This was performed at the Capitol Theatre, near Central Station, Sydney. The picturesque theatre would have been perfectly atmospheric for Faith and Seventeen Seconds performances.

Chants parfaits pour lire les formes subjectives des nuages et suivre d'un œil attendri les rainures des tiges des arbres; apprécier l'écriture complexe des branches imbriquées, goûter les couleurs de la décomposition de la lumière en gouttelettes d'eau dans un jardin, ressentir fortement le sol humide de la forêt ancestrale pour percevoir les traces des animaux du passé profond 🍍
the fisrt album(+ album 'Killing en a.. b ) are my preferés(?). good time fot music.i Washington young when i'm lesson Thérèse album,13 years sorry for yhe mistakes,i'm.french,nonodyb's perfect. lol

I don't know... Three Imaginary Boys isn't all that incredible as albums go.

True
@@captainfeedback1 Agreed. I have a funny feeling OP may have been thinking of S.S., Faith and P.
WOW!! I was born in '81 ... I ALWAYS loved The Cure, but never really realized they were this "good" before Disintegration! Thanks! 😍
This is one of the Best Cure Concert Recordings, from ‘81 that exists!!
I saw them here in New Zealand in 1980, and one of my friends saw them on this tour one year later, Brilliant
Best recorded early gig! Still in Love,till the end!

great song, mull of kintyre. that riff. and the clever beats. life-affirming.
I like both versions of the cure. They still play their old songs live. Why make the same album forever? You can always play the old songs to people
my first international gig - still got the ticket stubs. 17 August 1981 - 8.15pm
was it as good as it sounded?
@@darelcullen7452 heavy bass and I recall Robert’s voice was so clear.
ROCK

That drumming on my favorite song!! 🎵 “All Cats Are Grey” 🐈⬛
Wasn't born then but Faith is my favourite album by them and I feel super lucky to have seen them perform it at the Albert Hall with Lol there 🖤

I love the old Cure sound …much more solemn than the later 80’s …great quality for live audio …thanks!
Раннее The Cure великолепно! Оно со мной всегда. Спасибо
"Early The Cure is great! It's always with me. Thank you"
This recording is some of the best music I have ever heard so far as a middle aged man in 2024

I think I can safely say I have not heard this version of Forever. Again. This is pretty great version. Damn.
We were there for this gig, me and whitey were about 15 y o my brother 13. Was a dreamlike hour or so, where we kind of woke up at the end and thought Wow! Got to go backstage and smoke a big doobie with Lil, Robert sitting quietly to the side looking distant, untouchable. True story.
How about that, I was there too. Could've been standing behind you. Don't you just love UA-cam
The classic cure in all his splendor

Same one as on the b-side of charlotte sometimes 12”…drove my Mum mental with this on repeat
Simply one of the best compilations of this band. And yes, the sound... no gimmicks, just pure...
Fantastic stuff: thanks to the folks who made it sound this good and uploaded it.
Would have loved to interview Porl before our magazine Procession folded. Anyway, this is amazing! Best to all - 1890 Media
Nostalgia.... 😊
Probably the best version of a forest I've ever heard.
Merci énormément.
Toute mon adolescence avec The Curé 😂❤🎉

Damn it!

Thanks a lot!
Thanks for posting this, what a great and very atmospheric concert, brings me back.
Thanks so much for posting this - it's magnificent!!
Esto es hermosamente oscuro nunca antes la oscuridad y el pesimismo tuvieron un soundtrack hermoso. The Cure del 79-82 fueron la mejor etapa.🖤
Estamos de acuerdo, ¡es una época fantástica!
@@echoluxe2022 en efecto sus discos de esa época los admiro y escucho como fan del buen rock gótico.
Grew up with the sounds 🎉

The Holy Hour... what a track.
The Cure are still a great band but I'll always prefer their early 80s concerts to their 2023 music. The energy and anger / edginess is overwhelming in the early recordings.
They were just churning out killer riffs in those years.
Thanks a LOT!!
I saw them live in Lille, France, The Top tour.
Accurate introduction, this sound is just Perfect !

Good question, we'd have to take that up with the radio station/broadcast.
