    I love this song, I have been been a fan of The Cure since their early days and have seen them live a number of times...once was at The Sydney Opera House during the Vivid festival, where they performed their first 3 albums in their entirety, all with band member changes, then an intermission, followed by an hour and a half of their most well known tracks. It was a perfect performance lasting well over 3 hours.
    The Hanging Garden is an amazing song that maybevyou could look into?

    Thanks so much for this. My hands down favorite Cure song. Also fun to see Robert Smith sans red lipstick and wearing white. Absolutely would love for you to do a Cure week. My only issue is HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THIS IS 40 YEARS AGO?!? >damn, I’m old!

    Wow, that was genuinely amazing! Also, I had never thought of Midnight Oil and The Cure as having anything in common but this performance reminded me of early-mid 80's Midnight Oil in ways I don't understand.

      I feel old. I saw Peter Garrett and the early Oils in a pub in Perth around 1976. We dropped in for lunch and not many in the audience. It was like the genesis of something very unique. And, yes, he danced the same way then as he does now. ☺️👏

    Another band that I’ve never seen any live footage of, but it was unmistakably The Cure.
    Really cool to see them working as a 3-piece, as I’d always assumed that they’d had keyboard players from the very outset.

    The version on Show (recorded in Detroit) - is amazing. It has an extra verse and shows how the song evolved as a result of this very concert. In later shows it has a lot more breakdowns and solos - which was a direct throwback to what happened here.
    (That's also some fans underwear he has on his head).

    The studio version is in my Top 10 songs of all time.
    I saw the 3 piece Cure in 1983 at Sands Royal Antler Hotel in Narrabeen on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
    I was 22 and life was exciting.

    Very interesting, experimental song. You're right, they do like the depressing lyrics with upbeat melodies. Which is why I like most of their songs that I hear.

    I think that might be the best of the Cure's songs, really good performance here. But, if I had to make a choice, the studio recording is even more creepy and claustrophobic, more skin-tingling.
    Definitely a banger -- thank you for sharing that one!

    I had a love/hate thing with the cure too, but only because a friend played them over and over again,full boar, on a very long trip in a car. I ended up with a rotten headache and couldn't bare to listen to them for years.
    Anyway, this one is one of the best, along with love cats and close to me, for me anyway. 😘💖

    Man, I had forgotten all about this song, and to be reminded of it by this version was an absolute treat. Such a fat sound.
    I wonder if I can get those words on a print on demand T-shirt? Perhaps over a background image of Palmer's roadies pushing the Cure's equipment off stage.
    This was a great track. I love it.
