Re-uploaded with better quality sound!
The best version. If you are a Cure fan, you already know this.
Fact💯
The period between 1978-1982 was probably the best years ever for British music [with 1979 being the single most epochal year given what amazing records were released in that 12 months alone] due to the sheer innovation that came in the aftermath of punk......consider how many new genres were starting to make their first appearance and influence everything that has come out since.
influence everything that has come out since? not to me. i find that the amazing creativity of late 70s early 80s has been completely lost on the last twenty or thirty years of upstart musicians and singers. there seems to have been no influence or unabashed copycats in the pop charts in decades.
@@QualityModelRailroad it was lost for good reason. This is terrible.
Absolutely
Well said.
Approuved ! Totalement d'accord !
My mum drove me and my friends to see them in 1980 in Sydney Australia. There were less than a hundred people at the show. No stage. Robert, Simon, Lol and Mattheiu were set up on the floor, we were a few feet away. ♥️
Your mum Rules
The late 70s early 80s featured some phenomenal bands. We were spoilt for choice then, great inventive music.
When A Forest started playing and I heard how great this audio here was I couldn’t help thinking how great the 80’s were. I thought put A Forest on, then The Cults She Sells Sanctuary and then The Church’s Under the Milky Way and anybody with ears and a little bit of taste should be an instant fan!!!
Good taste ❤
Robert is such an underrated guitarist.
Thats why Siouxie wanted him once john left
@@RIPbob Yep, he played sensational on Siouxsie & the Banshees live Nocture DVD. It is epic.
Like Joan Jett...? (Hi, Ted Nugent!)
@@HenryJasonVarga When was the last time you saw him on any kind of "best guitarist" list?
God I LOVE Simon's bass grooves!
Simon Gallup ? The sound !!!!!!
Isn't this Dempsey?
@@smarieintn5955 non
Still sounds fucking amazing no modern music can beat this
True. "Rap with a capital C" (George Harrison)
Certainly not from “over here”.
JAPAN is keeping Rock and Prog/Alt Rock alive and well.
41 years from this and still sounds modern.
True. That's also because today's music sounds so old and stinks so much. Or maybe it's just us. I miss my old self in the 80s buying "17 seconds" and listening to it for the first time.
@@raistlinmcfly7535 timeless
@@raistlinmcfly7535 im only 21 but i went trought cassettes and cds. Nothing will compare to the analog age
I'm barely getting into this band on a more in depth level and only recently discovered this recording. If I had no clue I'd think it came out last week lol
Cause Modern rock isnt innovative at all. They only copy what already exists. Sucks
42 years later their Barcelona set was absolutely amazing. Timeless music.
100 years from now, people will stumble upon this by chance, pause and think...."whoa!" masterpieces are timeless
Perfeito!
100 years from now this world won't exist anymore.
Forest is just pure class. The cure at their best
Never gets old...I was in middle school when CDs came out. I found The Forest CD Single before I even had a CD player. I tried this single in all the decks at Service Merchandise in Central NJ. I then lost this CD in my Mom’s car for two years then I realized one day it may have fallen behind the glove box. Sure enough, there it was years later. Long story short...The Cure are still my favorite band. I shudder to think what may have become of me if I never have heard them.
i was listening to nsync and britney back then but glad i got here eventually

🤮
lol....so true, totally agree..they influenced our way of being 😍
John Peel somehow always coaxed the best performances from the bands he recorded and produced them to sound great.
He had nothing to do with the recording!
The 10th March 1980 late evening, sat in my bedroom, ice on the inside of the Windows....listening to John Peel.
Still have this session on an old C120 😎
Ice on the inside of windows.. I remember it too. Perhaps some millenials can't imagine it.
Jeez, talk about initiating a flashback. :)
Marc Harding oh...so lucky you are to have that memory...been a long time fan... American fan...I'm 52 now. We were deprived of a LOT if Post Punk masterpieces! thanks to the Internet.... I have the pleasure of discovering what I missed back in the early 80s
"Ice on the inside of windows.. I remember it too."
Ah, yes... good ol' single glazing, and no central heating. :)
Hot water bottles, electric blanket & Eiderdown none of those 'duvets'!
Seventeen Seconds is one of my favorite songs of the Cure
x2
That bass is fantastic...
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS BAND. THEY'RE SO UNIQUE
Could listen to these sessions ALL DAY and Again and Again, and Again.....when good music was good music. Long live the 80s.
Any of the John Peel Sessions are some of the best pieces of music you can listen to. You can feel the artists are trying their best to convey the message and poetry of their craft when they do a John Peel Session. The magic works across all genres. He is the ultimate curator of contemporary music, regardless of style.
yep all day
I grew up on the Cure but I never had the Peel sessions. This has been great.
The cure à bercé mon adolescense, et tte mes années de vie jusquici en 2022 , j'ai toujours se boum au cœur quand j'écoute se son indémodable..
a
Still don't think that the cure or placebo get the recognition that they deserve. Both underrated guitarists and poetic songwriters ❤😊🧟♀️
How the heck can 'A Forest' and 'Play For Today' come from the same band, simply brilliant.
In my 60s, finally exploring the early music of one of my all-time favorite bands. This is perfect. Thank you BBC!
I am playing catch up too, there was just too much talent then to absorb it all at the time!
I thought I’d missed them. But I hadn’t. All the early tracks were familiar from the students Union in the 1980s.
Absolutely sublime, this encapsulates my early teenage melancholy so well, grey English skies and a longing for a beautiful girl.
The audio quality is fantastic! Well done you.
I've been a Cure fan since I was 16 years old and now I'm 45! It's a fantastic life to behold Robert in present day here in Austin Texas!
Same except I'm 47. :-)
Never really been that into The Cure, but this is absolutely magical, what a session.
U now should..
Still time.
Four of their best songs...!
Quelle émotion ! A forest comme je l'ai entendue à 15 ans , il y a 40 ans ! Cure : la B.O. de ma vie !
Ca Plane Pour Moi!
immortal, perfect, the best of Cure
I discovered them when I was 11. Now I'm 44 and I feel the same thing I felt back in those days. They're definitely part of my life's music band.
90‘s the best years wish it was the 90‘s again life and the world 🌎 was good then now things have changed so much it’s Hard to believe the world we all live in now days.
Similar story and situation. For some of my biggest life moments and memories.
The sound quality in this completely changed my view of this band,cant get enough of this! ty!
Nostalgia yes for someone of us. But with time, Robert Smith has proven in scene his honesty and genius. Surprisingly alive ! And so many works !
Thats so dope...! I never thought I'll be playing The Cure one day but here I am... Genius sound on this one
My generation gratefully claps his hands to this beginning point of a wonderful era of european arts...
Tears man.... I heard the Cure since 10 years... just discovered this.... tears....
The real Cure!
AForest one of the greatest songs ever.
Saw them many times in the 80s.
I still listen to them in my late 50s!
so many versions of "A Forest" . All of them blow me away!
best version of "a forest" by far. absolutely chilling
Great band! Awesome set! Perfect pop songs! How much time I didn`t hear Play For Today? At least 20 years! What a beautiful track!!
They are not pop songs!
Masterpiece performance.
17 Seconds A frightening Album when it came out. After 1 listen I knew musically I had found what I was looking for. A unique visionary LP.
One of the best bands ever. There will never be another band like this.
Shh!
Of course not just an evolution of it
Never a truer word been said.
Perhaps the most important Peel Section ever. A stone in the pond that slowly spread its waves all over Europe. The birth of the new dark age, the cultural counterpart of the eighties shit we had..
apart from Talking Heads and Tom Waits, who were respectively brilliant
A freaking classic number. They sound fresh and concrete-solid as can be. I may have listened to these songs a thousand times, while here they seem brand new. Thanks so much for posting it.
R.IP my dear John..You was a radio genius..
I remember John Peel on the evening show "The Perfume Garden" on pirate radio station Radio London 266 m in 1967.
you were* god.
Just the best, ever...so many happy memories and so much new music, the best music, the music you've not heard yet....
@@cannatacris You is a Płonka Cristian. Play the game 🙄
I used to listen to Peelie every weekend when I was a kid. I had a small tape recorder with a radio in it. I want make tape after tape of his wonderful show. He introduced me to soooo many bands! One day I was getting out of work at the Forte Crest in Newcastle and I ran into him coming out the hotel lobby! It was an amazing moment I'll never forget. I just thanked him for changing the course of my life forever. Nowadays I find it hard to find anyone below the age of 30 who knows anything about music on a broad scale. We who were there, are soooo lucky!
During this era they were just awesome...
Love this era of The Cure. M is a song I could listen on repeat forever ....
Thousands of thanks for this jewels..The Cure at their best !!
Volviendo a escuchar esta sesión increíble, la conocí hace como 3 años
This is what they sounded like live, back then...it was like nothing you'd ever heard before...it captures The Cure 1980 perfectly...
Yes💞
The vocals don't sound live here though...
No other band has come close to the kind of creativity The Cure have. It is just beyond. Their songs will live for another millennium or two.
Check out “this cold night”
LOL yes! Agree 😍
Look, its the first four songs I learned how to play on the bass. I wrote an essay on Play for Today for an English assignment in 10th grade. God I love The Cure.
Classic Cure is the best brings me a sense of nostalgia about my life
ΕXACTLY!! NOSTALGIA AND ROMANCE!!
This is a really amazing session. Definitely my favorite incarnation of the Cure, this era to me it epitomizes what post-punk is.
Made me run out and buy the album.
post punk is a bullshit label created years after bands like this were going. if you call this post punk you don't know what punk was or is still
@@suepage7068 ye, Punk is Head
Yeah I think the Cure peaked at this exact time IMO, great to capture it in a Peel session
sue page - Though I agree it’s a stupid label, the term “post punk” was actually being used by certain journalists back then, though it didn’t really take with the fans until much later. I first heard the Cure around this time. Either late ‘80 or early ‘81. Back then I just thought of it as “new wave”... a few years before that particular label got abused to death by the likes of MTV.
Listen to 'pornography' and tell me they aren't genius. Their sound will stand alone for life. Robert Smith in and out of his depression has gifted us with so much.
Most enjoying , one of the greatest 1980's Bands THANKS !!!
1978-1984 Cure is my favorite.
John peel was a radio guru and also from my stretch of the woods and to get the cure on his show exeplifies what an influencer john was
A curator with a breadth of understanding and passion for music of all genres that may, possibly, be unsurpassed. The guy lived for music. Goth, jungle, punk, techno, hillbilly rock, soul... RIP
THE influencer, if John Peel said you were good, you made money (sort of).
Love this version of A Forest!
Totally underrated Cure song.
@@JohnMcAuley Really? It's widely recognized as one of their best.
@@VambeefcoHorzey it does not get airplay. Most people like the more popular stuff. I love this tune!
Rufusdos Is there a bad version of A Forest, bloody classic.
@@steve261brown No, Brownie, just various versions of an awesome bloody classic!
As a millenial i was not alive when these bands were being discovered but my two aunts were teens in the 80s and i can remember them playing these cassettes when i was very very little and it was an absolute joy to listen to joy division/ the cure as a kid...now im 34 years old and i have the utmost appreciation for post punk...and for my generation bands like Bloc Party are a prime example of an influence from bands of this era...so awesome
same
Awesome! I'm Gen X and great music has been passed !!!
EASY ON BLOC PARTY - bloc Cankers =STILL GO ENJOY
ALL GOOD!
As your aunts, I am from the 80s and I love and live for this music. When we are gone, please pass the torch on to the next generation with this music and adding the best groups from your era as well.
As another poster stated Gen. X here as well. This is bomb-ass music. Your aunts exposed you to some good music!
una de las mejores bandas del mundo😉👍
i love everything by The Cure from Three Imaginary Boys to Wish but sometimes i still think the 80-82 trio lineup was the best one ever. Seventeen Seconds album in particular is a masterpiece of post punk. so stripped back and raw sounding.
SoundsofDecay simon gallup is awesome
Shaina Karasik People maje fun of him but Lol had a unique drumming style. And so tight. The man was a machine!
+SoundsofDecay Seventeen Seconds was actually recorded by a four piece The Cure... Matthieu Hartley did the keyboards. But I agree, Seventeen Seconds is my favourite record of them, Faith and Pornography come close.
+hardtolivealittleand be That was cruel.....but probably true
Early Cure is best, after that the raw sound was missing. I remember being irritated at how In Between Days became everyone's' favorite here in the US, especially since most had never heard of them.
Well, it's 40 years ago, now. And it still feels new and unique. At least, for me.
yep
SOUNDTRACK MUSIC
FRESH Still
WHAT ELSE
I SAW THEM LIVE IN 1979 1980
VINYL i HAVE GOT AND UA-cam TO REMIND ME AND US ...SOMEWHAT STRANGE ... LONG TIME AGO 17 SECONDS . MANY YEARS ...WHAT IS IS all about?
enjoy anyway!
Peel sessions the cure 1980 simply my favourite all time songs I absolutely love the ending with the ace bass reverberate in my ears let’s be cure clear
I love, love, love it soo much. it's part of my life. it's my DNA.
Me too. This album especially, although it's not my favourite it's the album that really got me into the Cure. Pornography is my favourite. I'm always amazed when people rave about Disintegration being the finest Cure album?
Seventeen Seconds one of the greatest albums EVER!
ehm ..... no
One of the shortest too !
@@1970gah I had a double album called Happily Ever After that had 17 seconds on one side and Faith on the other
maybe the best seventeen seconds version ever, damn, this record is amazing
During this session, Seventeen Seconds was recorded but not yet released, and yes, this recording is rather remarkable. I believe Gallup was 19 at the time, crazy.
this entire tape is fantastic, all the way.
As were every Peel Sessions, RIP JP.
John new good music, I remember this on the radio. Cure still playing
He played us 'new' music & 'knew' what would pique our interest!
One of the best Peel sessions.
40 years later.
Eargasam every time I listen to them.
just utter class from the Cure.. so many thanks to the Late Great ` JOHN PEEL` for airing these bands!!
I Cure, la band più amata dagli appassionati della musica dark, ovvero del post-punk evolutosi nella direzione del gothic-rock...
1980... the year I first saw The Cure live. Such a tight and inventive sound. Happy memories 😊
takes me back to being 12 and watching 'A Forest' on Top of the Pops - knowing a different and more interesting world lay waiting - The Cure, along with The Stranglers and PiL were the doorway.
PIL? serilously? sellout project of john lydon? you made my day! cheers mate
@@RayEttler shut the fuck up arsehole
It's really easy to forget how darn brilliant The Cure were. And I have no idea, why.
Superb music. At at the time there was so much new to love - Joy Division - Bauhaus etc. The Banshees he also played for. Loved all cure from the start - even killing an Arab - great song but now not allowed probably... Met RS in Oxford after a great concert. 1983/4
ypu mean are... not were.
Hadn't revisited 17seconds in decades until this. These songs really hold up. And its such a gem of a Peel session. As many have written, the version of Play for Today is outstanding - but its all excellent.
I have just listened to this great band at Pinkpop 2019 & they are still fantastic who would have thought that a up & coming band in 1980 would still be killing it in 2019 WOW.
Exactly! Buy Mixed Up The Cure vinyl, is awesone.
M2...fabuleus

I saw them in 1980, in Edinburgh with The Scars and Josef K, Robert was a skinny young man and it changed my life, still going, still strong, saw them at Primavera, 6 odd years ago, and so am i! Love them
The Cure is a great part of mine and my friends life then and now then when I was seventeen and now when I’m fifty.I had to go to England to see them at Hammersmith Palais in eighty six and stayed for six years for the English music scene and listened to John Peel on Radio One for his sessions ,fantastic man if you read this Robert and the boys please come back to New Zealand you have a tonne of fans
Same age as you, probably same teen atmosphere, but unfortunatelly I never saw the band... Brazil was at that time (and still is) too far from the good rock scene :).
Forty years ago! I loved this Cure. TIBs is a classic album. I have this 12" version and some 45s of their other singles. Golden times.
Una de las mejores canciones de The CURE la tocamos en mi grupo. Atthor
John Peel, very much a legend and missed.
Right record, wrong speed...
Amen, brother.
Play For Today sounds amazing.
Heroes never die ... i saw them live 1989 at Stuttgart Schleyerhalle .... kiss me kiss met Tour .... wow ...
Flanger effect in this version is stunning!
This is really awesome!
Que barbaridad, que buenísimos eran en sus inicios, y empezando con A Forest, irrepetibles.
I saw them live two days ago.
Robert Smith's performance on stage is unreal! The man is a legend and so is his band.
Without doubt.
His voice is still incredibly powerful till this moment at @60,incredible!!!
Well deserved place in The RHOF!! There was a time you'd get your ass kicked for saying The Cure rocks. Nowadays you might get jumped if you say they don't!
This is super cool!! I've been in2 80's music like this lately,it takes me back.
🎤🎸🎶
Aye it does the same with me
super session
This right here is what made me a Cure fan for life!
early Cure is the best Cure:0
+matt gilliam YEScant want for the concert!!
+matt gilliam Their more recent stuff, like hungry ghost is actually very very good though
+matt gilliam Totally agree particularly this era.
Blue Monday thanks....I'll have to search for that. .. I love all Cure
really incredible how good the were live at that age. and that rawness
At their absolute best
I like this band, I think they gonna be famous one day
Thanks for this! Such good, simple songwriting that stands the test of time beautifully.
the cure are class
Hot damn... musicianship at its finest... Every other second I'm thinking, damn dem drums are on point! Wait it's the bass! No, it's the guitars ...no, it's Robert! The Cure just doesn't make mistakes...
exactly, great point, love it............................
John Peel was a god
Another fantastic upload from Vibracobra 23. Thank you, my friend for all the Peel sessions :)
