Perfect live version. I still listen to their 'Faith' album daily, along with 'Seventeen Seconds' and 'Pornography.' After all these years, I love them every bit as much....
17 sec & Faith were the greatest! Maybe it's just me, but they never seem to fade into synth rock, or laughable time pieces. I started with Kiss Me, but I can hardly listen to that now. Disintegration is great if you remove Lovesong & Lullaby, but still not as great as those 2
I never thought that I would find myself In bed amongst the stones The columns are all men Begging to crush me No shapes sail on the dark deep lakes And no flags wave me home In the caves All cats are gray In the caves The textures coat my skin In the death cell A single note Rings on and on and on
Always and forever, thanks to Britain and the British people whose creativity since the 1960s has given the rest of the world hundreds of prodigious bands such as The Cure and a music of beauty, a quirk and an atmosphere like no other. What would our lives be without British groups ?
I was at this show. When they played 'All Cats are Grey', it was really ethereal and haunting... more than what you see in the video. The whole foggy atmosphere, the reflective music had the power to just transport anyone to another place. The whole 'Faith' album set list was the best in the trilogy concert, if I can be honest. The album- 'Faith' really sounds like how it looks and means what it says. It may be considered to be monochromatic but perhaps it is the most emotional and deepest of all Cure albums (even 'Pornography'). These are not songs for entertainment- in fact at times, it is a difficult to listen for even the ardent of fans but something that offers kind of a reflection and solace to the listener. P.S.: Maybe something trivial to all those reading this but I was standing in the exact row right at the top (Standing Gallery) at the Royal Albert Hall. I was in full Cure attire, long black overcoat, dark red shirt with powdered face and lipstick (just for this particular gig). I perfectly remember the moment Robert Smith was looking towards us at the very top. Here it shows in the video clearly. :- D
Such a beautiful song! Can't believe how many idiots screaming over the ending or the whole time they played... listen & enjoy!! I wish I could have been there...
I like Sofia Coppola's films- especially Lost in Translation And her taste in music. Wasn't pushed about Marie Antoinette until the end with that Cure tune... now I'm sad. And happy....
“No shapes sail on the dark deep lakes and no flags wave me home” I feel those lines like I feel my soul I’m not okay nor near to be and I’m lonely even with ppl around I feel empty like I’m not here anymore I miss my grandmother I miss the life I used to have I miss myself I miss having fun being who I am and don’t care about anything else I miss not being worried about anything I really want to feel again live again have the chance to be happy again
Toujours et pour toujours, merci à la Grande-Bretagne et au peuple britannique dont la créativité, depuis les années 1960, a donné au reste du monde des centaines de groupes prodigieux tels que The Cure et une musique d’une beauté, d’une bizarrerie et d’une atmosphère sans pareil. Que seraient nos vies sans les groupes britanniques?
Shit, how I would have liked them to play this song when they came to Argentina in 2013. Thanks Robert, you have no idea how deep your music, your lyrics got to my soul. I hope you play again in Argentina.Back in april 2013, that night was magical. hugs and thanks, again and again
@@TheIanoTube instinctively, would have said Lol. And for me, he was the best. Just read the book and may be it was Andy Anderson. Or even A. N. Other..
@@ricardojohnson9980 Of course the contributed. They were in the band. Lol wrote this particular song though. Any Cure fan worth their salt knows that.

Sounds maybe strange with all their great songs, but this one is my favorite, don't ask me why, i don't know, it gives me such a strange kind of feeling..
He shared a plane flight with Robert, and suggested the idea of playing the 'Faith' album live. Robert suggested back they performed 'Three Imaginary Boys' 'Seventeen Seconds' and 'Faith' in their entirety. A couple months later Robert was putting the shows together. I read it in a recent interview with Lol
Haha - that's exactly what went through my head too. I read an interview with Roger O'Donnell. Apparently they alltreated him really badly. He was trying hard to cut down on his drinking during the Disintegration sessions and they'd do everything in their power to get him as smashed as possible. According to O'Donnell. Then he got kicked out of the band for being an alcoholic.
They were very cruel to him. Robert Smith admitted in an interview that had he been Lol's lawyer when he got taken to court, he'd have won the case instead of lost, and that they mentally tortured Lol, probably not realising the damage being done. But due to Lol's not remembering so much, none of that came up in court. Very sad. I'm so glad they reconciled, because Robert and the Cure mean a lot to Lol, and always did.
Boris Williams had such a magic touch. Sorry but Jason sounds like a machine compared to the personality of Boris' 1/4 beat delay. I happened to hear all cats are grey yesterday and from the very start of this video it seemed "off" then I realized it was too "on" meaning it's all the same rhythm , no pop! Edit. It was even Laurence Tolhurst that did the original better than this monotonous beat. .
This song is a masterpiece. The greatest song the Cure ever made.
Perfect song to soothe the soul.
Been my favorite since the 80’s!
Una de mis favoritas, escuchándola en invierno en crawly
THE most underrated cure song of all time
35 YEARS I HEAR THIS SONG AND ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL THIS SWEET BITTER CURE MELANCHOLY OF MY ADULT AGE
AGREE
My favourite
Me too ❤️
Perfect live version. I still listen to their 'Faith' album daily, along with 'Seventeen Seconds' and 'Pornography.' After all these years, I love them every bit as much....
So do I. All three, every day.
Simon spoiled this one on this tour by playing octaves where they didn't exist on the album version. it ruined the usually low and slinky bassline.
17 sec & Faith were the greatest! Maybe it's just me, but they never seem to fade into synth rock, or laughable time pieces. I started with Kiss Me, but I can hardly listen to that now. Disintegration is great if you remove Lovesong & Lullaby, but still not as great as those 2
Gillian Gill same here!
Is it me or does the outrow sounds off key at times?
Laurence Tolhurst is back on stage. As Robert Smith said for the return of Simon Gallup:"once Cure, always Cure"!!!
For me, this is the perfect song they’ve ever written. Plus perfect for headphones.
I was there. I cried.
I never thought that I would find myself
In bed amongst the stones
The columns are all men
Begging to crush me
No shapes sail on the dark deep lakes
And no flags wave me home
In the caves
All cats are gray
In the caves
The textures coat my skin
In the death cell
A single note
Rings on and on and on

Robert sings just as the album I can't believe it..

amazing to see Lol playing keyboards...
Yesterday my blue cream tortie cat passed. RIP beautiful girl
Such a beautiful song! Can't believe how many idiots screaming over the ending or the whole time they played... listen & enjoy!! I wish I could have been there...
Agreed!!! My favorite part is the last couple measures of bass clef notes on the piano. So gorgeous.
I don't think there's a better live version out there. It shimers!
My dear The Cure playing one the finest tracks they ever made, glad to know they are still together, make all of us happy.
the best...
shoegaze before shoegaze!! this is an endorphine stimulant!! so dreamy and atmospheric!
God I love this band. The atmosphere is amazing. The way Robert sings, moves, just the look on his face, it all speaks to me.
I like Sofia Coppola's films- especially Lost in Translation And her taste in music. Wasn't pushed about Marie Antoinette until the end with that Cure tune... now I'm sad. And happy....
OMG!! Both Keyboards makes a amazing atmosphere full of melancholy, peace and sadness. Wonderfoul!!!
I feel it too!
I'll never forget that concert !
Rare to hear live...nice treat :)

A masterpiece by The Cure, the lyrics are just perfection.
OMG......a single note rings on and on .....
If I had to choose only one of their songs, it would be All Cats are Grey.

I was there in London! Unforgettable moment for me. A masterpiece. The Faith album is one of my favourites.
crowd's reaction upon recognition :) awesome AF, wish I had been there
Headphones 🎧 on. Roll up. Drift away. 🥁🎶✌️🎸

Such a beautiful delicate timeless song.
this song... so haunting and perfect.
Tolhurst wrote the lyrics.
And co-wrote the music, and those hypnotic drum patterns.
I miss his drums...don't want to knock Jason, he's been there years, but...
@@TheHelensp who did drums on pornography?
@@TheIanoTube instinctively, would have said Lol. And for me, he was the best. Just read the book and may be it was Andy Anderson. Or even A. N. Other..
Cada vez que escucho esta cancion venis a mi mente con esa nostalgia de extrañarte como el primer dia...
Yo entiendo mas o menos. Asi asi. Ahora aprendiendo espanol.
The first half of the track reminds me of the tune that plays during Pvt. Leonard's breakdown in the lavatory in Full Metal Jacket.
Tolhurst is so underrated! His contribution to the Cure, especially Faith and the drums on Pornography are just great.
YES!!!!! A rare gem! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol i miss you
Robert for ever..🙀🎶🐾.
My ever lasting Love Song
I love The Cure

This is Cure Champions League -*&!
Barcelona will win
I never thought
that I would find myself
In bed amongst the stones
The columns are all men
begging to crush me
No shapes sail on the dark deep lakes
And no flags wave me home
In the caves, all cats are grey
In the caves, the texture coats my skin
In the death cell,
a single note rings on and on and on
Ohh~~Wonderful!!
How is it like a new song!?
amazing !
The best !!!!!
That synth is just fucking gorgeous
Been binging Cure lately, great decision
Synths
Sounds maybe strange with all their great songs, but this one is my favorite, don't ask me why, i don't know, it gives me such a strange kind of feeling..
He likes his cats...
Who? Robert or Lol?
3:50 he plays the same 2 notes during the whole song...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww
