@@tonypine3434 I always thoght that System Of A Down made almost entirely their song ¨Aerials¨based only on that guitar solo... by the way, it was a really bad trip when I´ve imagined it the first time.
This is one of the Cure's best songs. It's such a shame all we get on the radio is 'Friday I'm in Love'!! Let's educate the world about their best tracks.
I abandoned them in, gee I think it was 1985 ? because I got so sick of Japanese Whispers and the incessant radioplay only to pick them up 40 years later.
I saw them at the Royal Antler (a pub in on Sydney's Northern Beaches) in 1981! I would have seen them in '80, we were there, but my mate was sunder 18 and they wouldn't let us in. Fortunately, they returned the following year. Faith was their latest album. One of the very best shows i ever saw.
@@Meandgenevieve Saw them 1980 Mainstreet Auckland, Smith was dressed in some hippy type muslin get up setting up the gear on stage, sussing the crowd, place was packed with Auckland punks and skins ( I didn't even recognise him, thought he was a roady lol) their first show in NZ and they had no idea what to expect I'm guessing.....they all come out and he starts the set by saying "we are the Cure and we"re not a rock and roll band"......laugh the fuck out loud. oh and it was a great concert btw
Pure gem. Robert Smith and The CURE were near the beginning of the fame ! But their haunting sound and their unic style made them one of the greatest band ever ! I still do listen to their songs almost every single day. Never boring. They are genius.
In 1981 my girlfriend Orla and I danced slow to The Cure's fast songs - and fast to their slow songs - at the Trinity Ball in Dublin... Happiest night of my life! Passion, where would we be without it? :-D
it gets worse later when he's playing with Siouxsie and the Banshees the first go around out of 2. He's a dead ringer for Scott Baio! LOL Then he kind of co-opted Siouxsie's look with his own twist.
This is real music man!!!! 1979 was a cool year for music debuts, this is one of them. The Drumming and Lead Guitar are out of this world. I was 18 when this blew my stoned brain to oblivion.
Descubrí a The Cure a principios de los 80, en Sevilla (si, no solamente escuchábamos flamenquito en aquella época). Me fascinó tanto su música que me compré una cinta de cassete que reproducía una y otra vez sin cansarme de escucharla. Intenté adoptar la estética, pero en Sevilla en los años 80, si alguien te veía con pantalones a cuadros y el pelo engominado y desordenado lo más suave que te decían era "payaso". No había mucha gente en mi ciudad que estuviera interesado en esa música. Ah, que tiempos aquellos!!!
Yeah I tossed all my old vcr's but I can't part with my tape!! Got a $50 tablet, $129 Bose speaker & a great pair of headphones & no rewind...Love how far we've come technically!
what a baddass band, love the cure, they are the definition of real music, even tho this song doesnt say much i relate to it 100 percent, long live robert smith !!!
Gosh! What a deconstruction of what I used to listen to in these long gone days. Marvellous, I still feel the way like those days when tuning in again.
First song of theirs I ever heard, and those lyrics! Did he just say "I'm sitting in the kitchen sink"!? And the sparse but atmospheric sound hooked me forever.
Tan jovenes y tan talentosos!tuve el honor de irme al concierto en Paraguay y me encanto!son unos genios!Michael Dempsey tocando el bajo en este video!Love The Cure!
À l'époque c'était une de mes ex petite amie qui les écoutaient en boucle et moi ça me désespèrait, mais à force d'écoute, j'ai moi même apprécié ce grand groupe ❤❤❤❤❤❤. Merci Catherine 💋😘
love the sound, guitar bass and drums, really cool and emotive. ... used to be a fan in the 80's , with Motorhead on the other side... Still perfect after 40 years.. talent, for sure!
With time i listen To others bands, from Sex Pistols To Sonic Youth but The Cure stays since i was 12 years old. R. Smith and bass lines are forever in my favorite one. I saw them in Belgium Forest, great show. Christophe JASSOGNE
That guitar solo is so unlike anything else I've heard from the cure. I love how they have had so many different sounds throught the years
i feel like there's quite a few english bands that have based their whole sound around that riff...no monkeying about...
@@tonypine3434 I always thoght that System Of A Down made almost entirely their song ¨Aerials¨based only on that guitar solo... by the way, it was a really bad trip when I´ve imagined it the first time.
Robert was heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix, that's why.
@@80sWavrDude He managed to import Hendrix into post punk
@@tonypine3434its a very very basic pentatonic lick, nothing special.
This is one of the Cure's best songs. It's such a shame all we get on the radio is 'Friday I'm in Love'!! Let's educate the world about their best tracks.
100% agree
hell yea
No, Just like heaven Cure's best songs
I abandoned them in, gee I think it was 1985 ? because I got so sick of Japanese Whispers and the incessant radioplay only to pick them up 40 years later.
this album doesn’t get enough credit, it’s brilliant
My fav cure album
What's the name of this album????
@@joseadrianhuertapalafox5966 three imaginary boys, it’s their debut
The band is brilliant!
It's crazy they were only like 18-19 when recorded it. What a talent.
Vintage Cure. Would give anything to see them perform like this now.
I saw them at the Royal Antler (a pub in on Sydney's Northern Beaches) in 1981! I would have seen them in '80, we were there, but my mate was sunder 18 and they wouldn't let us in. Fortunately, they returned the following year. Faith was their latest album. One of the very best shows i ever saw.

Agree with you ! True fan of The CURE since I was a teenager. Friendly from France
My brother seen them in concert Sydney Australia in 1993 said everyone was dressed up like Edward scissorhands
Yes!!!
Happy Birthday Laurence Andrew Tolhurst,born February 3rd 1959,Horley,Surrey,England,drummer and keyboardist of The Cure
Great drumming style! 👌
That guitar solo is one of the best ive ever heard, and it doesn't even sound like something the cure would normally do.
Steady on old chap!
@@salubrious Indeed, but it takes all sorts.
@@bencolemanart Ha, ha, he's actually one of my favorite guitarists.
@@salubrious Oh yeah, he's great! No arguments here.
Yes i know what u mean
Love This. When Rob Smith was so young and did'nt know The CURE will be à timeless band ! More thanks 40 years of career !
He was beautiful
I loved how the guys looked back then not like now all trying to be so buffed and muscley 🤢
THE CURE IS MY CURE
Pure gem. Robert Smith and The CURE were near the beginning of the fame ! But their haunting sound and their unic style made them one of the greatest band ever ! I still do listen to their songs almost every single day. Never boring. They are genius.
One of my favorite Cure songs. This earliest stuff is so brilliant! It's all so brilliant! Thanks for posting!
🤑🤑🤑🤑👄🤑🤑🤑
Robert’s not a bad guitarist. It’s obviously simple punk influenced stuff but he’s got a unique style.
I like his guitar playing too. Their punk stuff is cool.
I love early Cure. They were still exploring different sounds and it was great
But don't you love on general The cure?
"I mean, they did pretty good and then they also did also good after"
In 1981 my girlfriend Orla and I danced slow to The Cure's fast songs - and fast to their slow songs - at the Trinity Ball in Dublin... Happiest night of my life! Passion, where would we be without it? :-D
MrSontaran3 sounds like a great night! I honestly didn’t know too much of his music till about 4 yrs ago lol. I love it!
ntscUre!
incredible! my mom started at Trinity a year or two later and remembers The Pogues and The Smiths at a couple of the Balls.
That's the way to dance!
You are very lucky bastard's
Still one of my favorites. That solo at 2:10 is so good.
raw and simple. one of my fave Cure songs.
Oh my gosh, Roberts hair!!
Go THE CURE
it gets worse later when he's playing with Siouxsie and the Banshees the first go around out of 2. He's a dead ringer for Scott Baio! LOL Then he kind of co-opted Siouxsie's look with his own twist.
Oh my gosh! My hair. Gone, lol.
Dorothy Hamil style.
That was before he discovered Siouxsie Sioux hair spray.
Early Cure, at their finest! This whole album brings back memories...
Love the drumming and the splashing of the cymbals
One of the best bands. Love the cure. And that guitar solo is awesome.
So pure and ass kicking ❤
Ace. I love early Cure 79-82
i love The Cure !!!
early Cure!!
Yeah, me too. That's definitely when they did their best stuff!
Early Cure or Easy Cure? ;)
You're not alone on this ;)
This was the beginning of the 80s, and we were young.
This is real music man!!!!
1979 was a cool year for music debuts, this is one of them.
The Drumming and Lead Guitar are out of this world.
I was 18 when this blew my stoned brain to oblivion.
Just as phenomenal now, as it was when I heard them for the first time in 81. Falling in love with the music all over again!
never bored listening song 🔥🔥
The Cure, simplesmente a maior BANDA DE ROCK DOS ANOS 80.
My god this was a minute ago. 1978-2016 Cure fan forever. I love them.
"... I'm crying
for yesterday ... "
This is one of their best songs, and the guitar, gold!
I'm really into the older Cure stuff !! especially this song and Play For Today !! Wicked band !! Thanks for posting !!
I love this video. Been looking for it for a while. So ace to see them as a three piece, stripped back, no frills, just a killer tune.
Great upload. My fave Cure song. Some great music in '79!
Robert Smith, Michael Dempsey and Lol Tolhurst , Three Imaginary Boys, I love this

thanks guys for your heart!! ;-)
Memories of good times in the 80's listening to The Cure - and this is a very psychedelic song ;)
OMG !!!!! I remember having this on VHS tape! Must have watched it a million times!! Now, I think I'll watch it a million more!!!!
I still have "Staring at the sea" on VHS, too. But no working player...
Yeah I tossed all my old vcr's but I can't part with my tape!! Got a $50 tablet, $129 Bose speaker & a great pair of headphones & no rewind...Love how far we've come technically!
Nancy Smith And you don't even need to adjust the tracking or rewind the tape 😀
The simplicity of it all is what makes this song great.
Guitar/Vocals
Bass
Drums.
Three imaginary boys.
one of best songs in all time in my humble opinion
omg!!!! this is a total gem!!!!! thank you for this!!!
+Abby Myers you are welcome :)
wow, this brings back memories of a really good time when a new music era began. It's an awesome song
what a baddass band, love the cure, they are the definition of real music, even tho this song doesnt say much i relate to it 100 percent, long live robert smith !!!
Good tempo. Unic and brand new sound. Pure talent of The CURE in their very early days !
I like all The Cure career, but this album is my favourite... ❤🧡💛
pure post-punk, yea
Love this era of the Cure!
Those were the days!
Robert Smith, all of 19 years old here.
Almost cried with his cuteness hahaha
He looks really mature for his age.
He was making history and might not of known it. Love it!
what?! 19?!
20,he was born in april 21 1959 and this video performance was filmed in may 1979.
Gosh! What a deconstruction of what I used to listen to in these long gone days.
Marvellous, I still feel the way like those days when tuning in again.
Seeing Robert in a tight shirt and that hairstyle makes me really want to go back in the late 70's ughh
First song of theirs I ever heard, and those lyrics! Did he just say "I'm sitting in the kitchen sink"!? And the sparse but atmospheric sound hooked me forever.
Masterful bassline
Best intro to a tune ever imo
:)
Best guitar solo. Simple and emotional pleasures.
Man I love Lol. Have always loved The Cure but they have never sounded the same without him.
He was part of the best Cure era.
this music got me thru the first couple of yrs of boarding school in the very early 80s ive fuckin loved them ever since......proper legends
Thank you keith appis for these memories. lol. u bought me every cure c.d. when we were in high school. good memories. thx.
Anthem to class people 1976 Love it

My favourite Cure song 💜
pure genius.
Still listen to this old mastepiece of The CURE in 2022
amo esta cancion y amo todo de the cure ohhh yeahhh!
Que lindo este video donde se ve a la formación inicial de The Cure: Smith (guitarra), Dempsey (bajo), Tolhurst (batería).
fantastic music , i remember the eightis , it's was amazing , the best new wave for ever
This is a true classic.
This song has it all: spacey minimalism, spiky post-punk, Hendrixy psychedelia, gritty punk...
Tan jovenes y tan talentosos!tuve el honor de irme al concierto en Paraguay y me encanto!son unos genios!Michael Dempsey tocando el bajo en este video!Love The Cure!
Esta era la formación inicial de The Cure: Smith, Tolhurst, Dempsey.
Used to listen to this stonned in 1981 - ah, the memories :)
Wow, I've looked forever for the actual music video for this song. Finally!
Grande The Cure!!!!!!!.Que jóvenes
Pero acordate, que eso era en el '79,...ahora estan viejos, loco..
Wow!!! This. Song. Is. Everthing.
The cure, por siempre!!
I love the Cure! ♥
Really?
Thanks for posting, saw this once years ago, very good song!
Thanks!
Great classic music video!
À l'époque c'était une de mes ex petite amie qui les écoutaient en boucle et moi ça me désespèrait, mais à force d'écoute, j'ai moi même apprécié ce grand groupe ❤❤❤❤❤❤. Merci Catherine 💋😘
Otro de sus mejores temas !!!
Genius piece of music! :-D
This is such a brilliant song. And so tragic that no one knows it anymore. I'm going to go sit in my kitchen sink
What a song!
love the sound, guitar bass and drums, really cool and emotive. ... used to be a fan in the 80's , with Motorhead on the other side... Still perfect after 40 years.. talent, for sure!
Motorhead is shit.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. New wave/post as subtle as you will ever hear it.
Who has never been through this at some point in their life.
Yup forsure 👌👍
Yes, I'm sure we've all had issues with our plumbing at one time or another.
Robert Smith is way underrated as a guitarist.
Robert in this video is actually so underrated like he’s so fine!?!?
With time i listen To others bands, from Sex Pistols To Sonic Youth but The Cure stays since i was 12 years old. R. Smith and bass lines are forever in my favorite one. I saw them in Belgium Forest, great show. Christophe JASSOGNE
que leyenda por favor ya se notaba el talento sigan siempre asi
One of my favourite songs ❤️
Very mindful very demure
wow q recuerdos first time i saw the cure 1987 kiss me kiss me tour at MSG great song
I always wondered if jumping someone else’s train was the original of this song then they rearranged it to this.
Why is this song so underrated--!,
Una de mis favoritas, iiiiiñoooooorrr.
