I payed £216 for a ticket for this concert, £100 for a train from Glasgow, after the show, I walked the streets of London until Euston station opened at 6 in the morning ,freezing cold,train to Glasgow at 6.40,listended to 3 Imaginery Boys, 17 Seconds & Faith on the old i_ pod on the way home,(on another journey by train ,)Cried during the concert about 6 times and have just cried again , (The Drowning Man gets me every time), love The Cure,have done since I was 12,peace ✌&💖 Jock ........
nick bollocks, Was at gig in Manchester as well my friend ,hope we are at plenty more in the future! l could easily listen to another 35 years of this!!! ✌
Все это фигня. Я на The Cure на поезде из Новосибирска в Москву ездил. Двое суток в пути туда, двое суток обратно. Ты вообще представляешь, что такое двое суток в поезде?
Not only is Robert completely overlooked for his guitar playing,he is criminally slept on.for songwriter craft,as well as his remarkable achievements in the registers of the six string bass.His voice has become a fine tuned instrument,from working shows and lyrics of the next true poet-laureate of this mystic isle.
My hubby always jokes that Robert can’t play guitar. Although he jokes, it’s stokes a raw fire in me that I can’t help burns, every time he says that in jest!!!!
I'm now 60 years old and I still have the 4 tickets from the early 80s (Aachen 1981, Aachen 1982, Alsdorf 1984, Düsseldorf 1984). But I still get tears in my eyes when I listen to songs like the drowning man or faith. But to be honest the last really great album (for me) was Pornography (with Seventeen Seconds and Faith). And Faith is still the best album I've ever heard. Ok, maybe the first Smiths album should also be mentioned :-)
kiss me kiss me album also have some realy great songs...i realy like it because it is so variated... faith is good...but for the glomy stuff i like 17 seconds better
I really cannot express the gratitude that I have for Robert ,and the band for performing these very intimate and amazing shows ! I paid two grand to get tickets that were at the stage. I saw them play the REFLECTIONS shows at the Beacon Theater in New York City. I had to travel there by plane and basically had to plan a mini holiday in November. Booking a hotel for the weekend etc.. I absolutely hate flying anywhere. I was a nervous wreck but, nothing a few cocktails couldn't handle. All I know is that these shows were extremely special and I will never quite forget them.They were exceptionally fantastic live and even intense at times. it seemed as if the band and Robert were really enjoying themselves just as much as the fans. Even more so with these specific shows then they always had performing in the past. How wonderfully rare it was to have their first three albums played in their entirety. It was a very special night for me and I will never forget it as long as I live. I was lost in the music and their performance with extra encores that were a fantastic surprise.They always know how to let their fans know just how very much we are appreciated.It shows in their performances . I was so entranced and lost in their performance and how fantastically wonderful they sounded live. I danced the night away and had a fantastic time I will never forget. I feel so fortunate to have experienced these shows. I will remember and cherish them always and forever. SEVENTEEN SECONDS AND FAITH are absolutely fantastic albums that never got the real credit they deserve . Just like THE TOP and WILD MOOD SWINGS !!! I actually got to meet the band and Robert outside after the show. I was in tears of joy from the show itself , the music and perhaps shock because, to top it all off Robert was so very humble, cordial and extremely sweet. I asked for hug and got one . I will be forever grateful and so extremely appreciative to this band, for the amazing albums and songs they have touched my life and so many others with . ❤️ CURE FOREVER
Every album by The Cure has at least one song which stings you real hard. The Drowning Man, The Figurehead, Disintegration, Homesick, A Strange Day, Faith, To Wish Impossible Things, Apart...
I never understood that label: it’s life, unlike the plastic-fantastic cheesy, everyone’s cretinously happy all the time, commercial bubble gum that passes for pop or pap.
Incredible.... this album was my biggest musical influence of the 80's. To see it recreated live is wonderful, especially with the three imaginary boys on the stage.
Tolhurst is such an amazing drummer; who created all the drumming on this album. Wish he could have came back as the drummer on the 2011 tour. The other drummer does do him justice. Tolhurst was amazing on both Faith & Pornography
Robert Smith once said by himself that Lol didn't know how to play so he invited him just for be part of history of the band The Cure as the other member could do without any arrogance from him I think to be true the best drummer is Boris Williams and some particular sound by Andy Anderson! ..
Merci pour ce merveilleux live ! FAITH est vraiment un album avec un son si particulier, qu'il restera à jamais unique, avec ses ambiances sombres, mais dans lesquelles on aime se réfugier comme dans un cocon ! Cela fait plaisir de voir Lol Tolhurst jouer avec Robert et Simon ;-) Je les écoutes depuis 1985, et les ai vu pour la première fois au théâtre antique d'Orange en 1986, ce fut un concert inoubliable, et je resterai toujours fan de The Cure et Robert !! Et je remercie Robert et sa musique, qui m'ont influencé et m’ont donner envie de devenir musicien . Thank you for this wonderful live! FAITH is really an album with such a particular sound, that it will remain forever unique, with its dark moods, but in which we like to take refuge as in a cocoon! It's nice to see Lol Tolhurst play with Robert and Simon ;-) I have listened to them since 1985, and saw them for the first time at the theater antique of Orange in 1986, it was an unforgettable concert, and I will always be a fan of The Cure and Robert !! And I thank Robert and his music, who influenced me and made me want to become a musician.
"We must fight this sickness, find a cure" the penultimate line in Pornography, is the most pent up fury in a line since Shakespeare's Hamlet: 'Nay, but to live/In the rank sweat of an enseamèd bed/Stewed in corruption...".
For a long long time 17 Seconds, Faith and Pornography were THE Cure albums. Ever more radical. I needed a long time to respect their later work. But I do now. It was like: the “real” Cure split after Pornography. What could follow. Then they re-appeared as New Order and wrote uplifting pop-songs. Uups, sorry, wrong band. Serious, they really did great work. How many bands write songs like “Alone” after existing nearly 50 years? Not New Order, not the Rolling Stones. Love them.❤
The Drowning Man is just too much! What an amazing song! I love Faith what a masterpiece : I never thought that I would hear Doubt live, one of my favourite song ...I saw the Reflections in London at The Royal Albert Hall the best The Cure concert and I saw them many times but I love Faith and 17 Seconds ( my favourite album)... And to have Lol on stage made it extra special.
I am a big time cure fan , I've love everything about the band . But I've really the faith album its one of my favorite album . Thank u for this live version .
Ascolto sempre con grandissimo piacere questo che resta un album fondamentale nella produzione dei Cure. Sonorità meravigliose e pure, senz'altro una pietra miliare
"I went away alone... with nothing left but faith". This song is one of the most beautiful ever to be written. And I love the way it's performed here, much more 'sleek' than the original. I'd love to see it re-recorded today with this guitar work and less of the crazy sounds on the original. This song, performed like this, could be a mega hit today if released again!!!!
give a search for the 4 Play exclusives. It was a UK iTunes only compilation that included four re-done songs including Faith from around 2005 if I remember right. Good luck hunting!!
Saw this show at Pantages Los Angeles and was completely blown away. They even played some tracks off Japanese Whispers and Lol Tolhurst played drums during entire show.
Pls forgive my ignorance - I found TheCure in 82 but if Smith Tolhurst and Gallup are the originals in the band - and Gallup is the one playing bass guitar c/w d a haircut ......How the heck hasn’t he gone through the time machine that the rest of us from those days have been through?
Unique style, structure, composition, execution. . . everything about the Cure is just so other worldly it defies description. Love all of these imaginary boys, my real imaginary friends. . . Blessings for all the precious gifts you have and continue to bestow upon us. . .
..I'd Listened To "Happily Ever After" (Seventeen Seconds & Faith, Combo Cassette) Hundreds Of Long, Dark, Cold, Empty, Nights, During The Late Eighties, In The Santa Monica Mountains, In My (Big Stereo) 1970 VW Bus. Sometimes With A Smouldering Bonfiire Up-At "God's Seat" Off Yerba Buena Road, Man, All Those Goddamn Cigarettes.. Buddy Jackson
Tolhurst should've never been replaced from the drumkit. I love Boris Williams and Andy Anderson. But Tolhurst was very underrated and he was excellent on 17 Seconds, Faith & Pornography. He was more than competent. The moment he was moved to keyboards, it was over.
Yes he's a very good drummer. Keyboards were an extension of his artistic expression and ideas for melody especially as an original member. The direction they moved in i feel absolutely needed someone like Boris who was perfect for that direction .no one can touch Boris Williams' work w them.
I cannot kick myself enough for NOT calling out of work this day when Tix went on sale. There I was in the back room of the store, helplessly trying to get onto the Ticketmaster website for tickets to this. Nope!!! What a huge FAIL AND I REGRET IT TO THIS DAY!!!!! Argh!!!!!!

good man, that's all i can say, just saw them in Manchester, cost me less, but unforgettable! peace and love to you my friend xx
nick bollocks, Was at gig in Manchester as well my friend ,hope we are at plenty more in the future! l could easily listen to another 35 years of this!!! ✌
Respect to You!!!

Very moving your testimony
Not only is Robert completely overlooked for his guitar playing,he is criminally slept on.for songwriter craft,as well as his remarkable achievements in the registers of the six string bass.His voice has become a fine tuned instrument,from working shows and lyrics of the next true poet-laureate of this mystic isle.
he's insanely underrated
Is he? He plays in stadiums. I think people recognize him more than enough.
I agree
Love the man love the band there’s never gonna be another cure xxxxxxxxxxxx
My hubby always jokes that Robert can’t play guitar. Although he jokes, it’s stokes a raw fire in me that I can’t help burns, every time he says that in jest!!!!

And Faith is still the best album I've ever heard. Ok, maybe the first Smiths album should also be mentioned :-)
I totally agree.Pornography is a masterpiece. Together with Closer Joy Division.
In my opinion Faith is the best album the cure
Lennon JOHN Harri Definitely!
Faith and disintegration for me ..love all their stuff up to wish though (well kiss me kiss me kiss me has a few not so good tracks for me but..)
Yeah Lennon John Harri, we like the best artists ever: Cure and beatles! ;-)
kiss me kiss me album also have some realy great songs...i realy like it because it is so variated... faith is good...but for the glomy stuff i like 17 seconds better
I think is better 17 seconds and disintegration

apart, sometimes this songs spurs too many emotions.... it is hard/painful to listen
It was great to see Tolhurst playing the drums again, awesome show!
Yeah, I was surprised to see him. I thought it had long been over.
Warmed my heart to see Lol up there playing......ahhhhh......home again! :-)
TOTALLY!
Just read is book last week....he describes very well the emotion he felt on that particular day.
Que lindo ver a Lol nuevamente con los muchachos 🖤
I agree 😊
This was labeled "Gloom & Doom" but it never brought me anything but joy!!!!!!
Exactly.
I never understood that label: it’s life, unlike the plastic-fantastic cheesy, everyone’s cretinously happy all the time, commercial bubble gum that passes for pop or pap.
i just read Lol Tolhurst's book, great read, Robert Smith comes across as a thoroughly decent sort.
So nice to see Lol & Rob on stage together.
Incredible.... this album was my biggest musical influence of the 80's. To see it recreated live is wonderful, especially with the three imaginary boys on the stage.
Tolhurst is such an amazing drummer; who created all the drumming on this album. Wish he could have came back as the drummer on the 2011 tour. The other drummer does do him justice. Tolhurst was amazing on both Faith & Pornography
I kinda feel his keys work is more important
you are so right! he is underestimated. what he did on faith and pornography is just great.
Robert Smith once said by himself that Lol didn't know how to play so he invited him just for be part of history of the band The Cure as the other member could do without any arrogance from him
I think to be true the best drummer is Boris Williams and some particular sound by Andy Anderson! ..
Happy to see LOL !! The other face of The Cure
The best Cure concert I've ever attended in my life, and I am 50 now, so time flies...
What an incredible venue this RAH... ❤️
you got to see them live??? LUCKY!
Simon is amazing!!!
Yessssssssss
I agree
I wish they play live first 3 albums again, one day. 3IB, 17S and Faith are too unique.
I am listening to these 8 older songs now, 2021. Trilogy II. . Its like being in church to hear all these in that order. Thanks😊
I went to the Albert hall show, my fav is Faith and to hear this album in full was beyond words, having Lol there was even more incredible.
They sounded phenomenal and I’ve seen them many times over the years!!❤
Album Faith iście gotycki, Przepiękny

It was a very emotional gig - a musical experience I will always treasure 🎶💜
It was said once that Faith is the best Cure album, and Pornography is the ultimate cure album.
i love faith so much and think it's highly underrated and pornography too!
These are facts.
"We must fight this sickness, find a cure" the penultimate line in Pornography, is the most pent up fury in a line since Shakespeare's Hamlet: 'Nay, but to live/In the rank sweat of an enseamèd bed/Stewed in corruption...".

Serious, they really did great work. How many bands write songs like “Alone” after existing nearly 50 years? Not New Order, not the Rolling Stones. Love them.❤
These are really good renditions of the Faith album songs.
Legendary! Hail to the Cure! Always!🙏🏿
Watching Lol deserves a thumbs up :)
That's LOL? Wow! This is great!
This is the best Cure album imo.
'Other Voices' is my favorite Cure song too.
This album... this era... thank you for posting this.
Loved this reflection tour stuff!!! They sounded so awesome!!! Love hearing all these old song live! This is a gem for my live album playlist!!
The Drowning Man is just too much! What an amazing song! I love Faith what a masterpiece : I never thought that I would hear Doubt live, one of my favourite song ...I saw the Reflections in London at The Royal Albert Hall the best The Cure concert and I saw them many times but I love Faith and 17 Seconds ( my favourite album)... And to have Lol on stage made it extra special.

I sang and cried happy tears throughout the entire 3+ hours #lostforeverinahappycrowd 🎵🎶💜

Do you know the world of Post Rock?
You could make the case this is the only true goth album by The Cure and they really did a fantastic job here of channeling that true 80s goth sound.
Side 2 of Faith is the best side of vinyl ever
Funeral Party...perfection 🥰🥰🥰
Come back Lol......................... this is your Stage...!!
Saw them at the Pantages in Hollywood, great to see Lol with them after all the years of lawsuits
Wonderful ❤️❤️
Lol looks great in this concert.
Love and love Faith. Thank you for uploading :)
Det beste Albumet til The CURE er Bestival Men CURE er de fleste Album knallbra bra ❤️❤️❤️
Epic and timeless, especially the two last songs.
Best Band in the World 👍🔨🔥😃♥️♥️♥️
Sempre immensi ... Intendiamoci , non basterebbe un set di 24 ore per raccogliere le loro canzoni
Amazingly talented lyricist ❤❤
i love love loveeeee robert smith. he is my idol. i will always cherish him :)
THANK YOU ! MR ROBERT SMITH !
"I went away alone... with nothing left but faith". This song is one of the most beautiful ever to be written. And I love the way it's performed here, much more 'sleek' than the original. I'd love to see it re-recorded today with this guitar work and less of the crazy sounds on the original. This song, performed like this, could be a mega hit today if released again!!!!
It still a good song !!! Forever perfect as it is !!! No need anything else !!!
I agree, most perfect song ever!
give a search for the 4 Play exclusives. It was a UK iTunes only compilation that included four re-done songs including Faith from around 2005 if I remember right. Good luck hunting!!
I prefer the original. Much more atmospheric.
apparently faith is his favorite song he ever wrote. i don't remember where i read it though.
drowning man forever
Saw this show at Pantages Los Angeles and was completely blown away. They even played some tracks off Japanese Whispers and Lol Tolhurst played drums during entire show.
❤ Classic Forever 👌
Wonderful!
No paré de sonreir y disfrutar este concierto! Cuanto hubiese deseado estar presente en sidney!
thanks for sharing.... it's like traveling in time form me...
Happy birthday, Robert Smith!
LO MEJOR DE THE LO MEJOR, THE CURE!!!!
I saw this at the Beacon theatre in NYC. Great concert.
Pls forgive my ignorance - I found TheCure in 82 but if Smith Tolhurst and Gallup are the originals in the band - and Gallup is the one playing bass guitar c/w d a haircut ......How the heck hasn’t he gone through the time machine that the rest of us from those days have been through?
Simon is a keen cyclist and keeps himself in good health.
Mi pichirilo tiene nivel matemático en situación mortal de aquí allá 🧠🕳️🕳️💯
Fender guitars ;)
Robert are a poet and his team are fantastic , number one !!! a very good musician , his family was musician !!!

Круто!!! Атмосфера супер!

Unique style, structure, composition, execution. . . everything about the Cure is just so other worldly it defies description. Love all of these imaginary boys, my real imaginary friends. . . Blessings for all the precious gifts you have and continue to bestow upon us. . .
impresionante
Would be perfect with Charlotte Sometimes
Not on faith, though! This album is utter perfection.
Yes, if they'd ditched Doubt & put that on there.
great work for sound/images - thanks for sharing this !!!
Thank you so much♡
Szilvia Székely youre welcome!

Is this Lol T. on Drum? 🤔🤨🧐😳👍🤘
Holy shit 😮
♥
D'un autre monde !
I still have my TDK 90 with side A faith and side B pornography.
Capolavoro
Maravilhoso ❤

Tolhurst should've never been replaced from the drumkit. I love Boris Williams and Andy Anderson. But Tolhurst was very underrated and he was excellent on 17 Seconds, Faith & Pornography. He was more than competent. The moment he was moved to keyboards, it was over.
Yes he's a very good drummer. Keyboards were an extension of his artistic expression and ideas for melody especially as an original member. The direction they moved in i feel absolutely needed someone like Boris who was perfect for that direction .no one can touch Boris Williams' work w them.

❤️🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌻❤️
Lol should of drummed for these songs. Its his most natural instrument.
Ojalá hubiesen sacado un Blu Ray de este concierto como el Anniversary o el Curaetion 25
