The thing is, even over 40 years later, it still sounds like it's music from the future. This period of The Cure was so ahead of its time we may never catch up. Audacious in the extreme. Kids creating the music of gods.
@@levisguy53 And robert smith a bra......i dont know what is happening lately with robert, but he looks strange. Still their music is unbelievable good.
No f*ing idea how this got in my recommend list, but... I was THERE, 17 yrs old, at that concert. Bloody brilliant. Wow, memories... The interwebz is a strange place.
@@saintlacy: yes, it was awesome. I was an impressionable teenager who hadn't seen much live music yet -- end of the seventies, middle of the Netherlands, different times with just one record store in town to help you discover new music. What I especially remember is the strong soaring basslines on the mono synth they used -- I already was a synth-head back then, tried (! lol) to build my own monosynth when i was 15, played lots of Wakeman, Tomita and Tangerine Dream records, so hearing rather explosive synth-basses was cool and impressive as hell. Later when I bought the _17 seconds_ album, I was heavily disappointed that the synths on the album were nowhere near as present as they had been live. Stil my fave Cure album though -- somehow has stood the test of time afaic.
For some reason I never went back and actually listened to early Cure records. They are excellent, I definitely prefer them to the more famous stuff. Way more of a post punk feel.
It's actually amazing when kids didn't have any technology, money, internet, and still...they were so brilliantly creative...with pure deep artistic skills...❤

I saw a lot of bands in 1980 to 85 but never The Cure. I jumped the fence to Glastonbury in 86 and the Furs and the Cure were playing, I'd seen the Furs a couple of times but never the Cure I did too much speed and acid on the first night and realised I hadn't taken a tent or even a jumper and it was the usual windy crappy Glastonbury weather so I ended up hitching home before they played. I think that this was their best period by far although I like most of their stuff.
Fine TH-cam algorithm bring me this video!! I ‘am listening THE CURE since 1984 / 1985… saw them in concert the first time in 1986 and the last time …last week 8th November 2022 ( my 17th concert ) … thanks for this sharing!!!
I was only 14 years old. Robert Smith is still the boss of The CURE after 40 years of career. Now he's 63 years old. OMG ! Memories...memories... I miss the eighthies. The haunting sound of The CURE was so beautiful and perfect !
@@sifugurusensei lol..me too but only when I compare to legends like this...but I have an amazing family and normal life...that's something..but Robert and the Cure were one of a kind.
@@kameronwraithd.k.5363 is the only way it could sound like that on the mid tones at the heigh he is playing it with the right hand (very near to the begining of the strings)
I found The Cure in the little later 89s...no internet or nothing...I had such incredible images of Robert and the band in my head when I listened to their music.I would scrape every music magazine or news article about them and just to get some kind of photograoh or picture of them...and I found very few. So now 30 some years later with their music giving me the same feelings as it did back then..to be able to watch clips so easily like this is so amazing its like rediscovering the band
I rember sitting in my mates kitchen early 80s and a forest came on the radio..wtf is this ...i was instantly hooked forever..saw the band not long after that.
We hardly knew what any of them looked like back then, pre-Internet. We hardly ever saw pictures of them in magazines. They were practically _never_ on TV.
I have had this concert on tape since 1981 and I have listened to it many times. Seventen Seconds, Faith and Pornography have Always been my favs. Some call it depressing music but the early Cure gave it a warm sound. The music gave me a nice feeling and still does.
I was born in 1972 and I remember growing up in point pleasant by the beach and all the cool surfers and new wave goth guys loved the cure. I remember also this cook i used to work with at this grungy bar/restaurant called the idle hour on rt 88. This guy whose name was glen had this mid 70’s look complete with mustache and hairstyle similar to meathead from all in the family and he was a huge cure and violent femmes fan. Not goth or punk or new wave looking at all. I remember at that point realizing that you don’t have to look like the scene to be a part of it.
@@scottjohnson8316 You have spoken volumes with that last sentence. From when I started loving underground music in 1987 to this day, I have always had a neutral/nondescript appearance and never a desire to be what I call a "costumer". Thanks for understanding.
This performance includes and captures a special moment in history...A Forest...one of the greatest songs ever written, a classic of a genre, of a time and a place, being performed - not by a group of regrettably aged men, but by those same men, at the time they conceived it and full of the youthful exuberance all 4 band members equally - which is so often overlooked - brought to its conception....
This is one of the best early Cure shows! I’m grateful someone recorded it I can still hear it! Their music was so ethereal and atmospheric back then! Fantastic!
This is what happens when all the right elements find each other. Minimalist and perfect. One of my fave Cure eras. I got into them in '84. Saw them live for the first time five years after this was filmed.
I liked The Cure since 1983 when a friend bring to my home a LP (property of his older brother) to play it in the home console, since then I am a loyal fan... I went to every concert than they played in Mexico, even in Monterrey city, it takes me 12 hours arrive there... last time this november in Mexico City !!!, and one before this, they played for around 4 hours !!!!
So young and so great yet ! May be the greatest time when The CURE was : Robert Smith, Simon Gallup and Lawrence Tolhurts ! I was only 14. Now I'm 56 and I still listen to their haunting sound and great songs. Timeless band now. Worldwide fame : they deserved it !
This is fucking amazing. Thank you. These songs are so Cure. They still fit into every gig they choose to play them. Timeless band. Timeless songs. ❤️❤️
I was 8 and already into new wave. My brother was 4 years older (RIP) so i had access to all his albums 😊. Its kinda funny to see Robert without the makeup. Great band. Tnx for sharing this.
The Music is so genius and well put together you forget it's just a few dudes with real instruments. Ulike a lot of sampled music today. It's so timeless never seems out of date.
There's a purity to their sound early on and although they went on to arena size venues and crafted more pop tunes their first 3 albums still have my attention
I saw them in the same year or 1981 in Rotterdam, never had heard of them but the sound attracted me to a huge tent where I paid 5 guilders for entrance. Sold for life!
What a journey this band has had. Wow. All the great music. I mean just brilliant masterpieces. Robert Smith is one of if not the best songwriter and musician in music history. So multi faceted. Can plunge you into the deepest parts of dark human emotion and on the next LP send you to the moon with happiness. Wow. Love 'The Cure'. Last time I seen them was in Miami Florida right next to the water. 2016. Missed them This last time. And hope they come again. Our bands are getting old and someday will leave to bask in much earned rest and retirement.
Exactly No ONE was playing ANY of these chords or these progressions at that time. NOT ANYWHERE. Their early genius, and what set them entirely apart as a nearly undefinable sound at the time of this concert recording, was just that. NO ONE sounded anything at ALL like this. And likely, no one else ever will.
Agree with you ! The CURE are Legends now. We will always remember. We still do listen to their great songs forever and ever. May 2022. Still listen to their songs and never boring. The greatest band of the early eighthies ! Unforgettable sound !
Nah, they were continuing what Joy Division started - and then later found their own stride. I'm not here to be a contrarian. I could have said "sorry to break it to you" but it's never a bad thing to be better educated about what you love :) [was into it then, I'm 51 now] Siouxsie's music at the time paralleled The Cure's. Bauhaus was at it from another angle and a bit earler, too. Other than _Love Will Tear Us Apart,_ Siouxsie's _Hong Kong Garden_ was probably the most influential single in all of British Post-punk. With The Cure, _10:15__ or Fire In Cairo or Boys Don't Cry_ had some impact as singles, but the Cure's massive influence is more due to how their creativity manifest over several stages - over at least 10 years and many lineup, songwriting/style and sonic changes. The differences from TIB to Faith to TheTop to HOTD to KMKMKM are so many, that Smith and Lol were two of the only common denominators to be present in all of them. Ciao :)
I come back to this clip all the time... Something about seeing a young Robert and Simon just gets me right in the gut... This is glorious. Long live the Cure!!! One of my favorite live shows ever...
I've known the big hits from The Cure for a long time (Friday I'm in love, boys don't cry, just like heaven, lovecats, close to me lovesong) for years, but only really delving into their discography as of today! Man this album from what i've heard is good. Mad to think that The Cure have been around for as long as they have, who knows maybe in a couple months they'll be my favourite band
THIS is pure fucking magic...and by the way when all is said and done, Robert has become one of the top 25 guitarists of all-time (he's in my top 10 as is Simone on Bass). Here at 21 we are just getting a glimpse. Thank you posting.
Thank you for uploading! Life changing concert! After this I saw them live in a circus tent playing in Groningen in 1981 (and after that maybe 5 more times). Love the guitar sound and in combination with Robert's voice a real cure.
great performance. i wasn't even in existence yet. excellent production for being recorded in '80. poor Hartley didn't any camera time aside from his fingers.
I remember watching a fragment of this on the "Starring at the Sea" VHS compilation, it always intrigued me... it's the intro (A reflection) to the "Play for Today" video on SATS. These guys are in top form here, but still raw and Fresh, a great era of this band's very diverse career. Anyone who likes the Cure should see this! Thanks for posting.
When my brother and I were kids, we would laugh when we saw the “A Reflection” clip because it looked like Bashful Bob was flipping off the camera with the chords he was playing. I was pretty excited when I stumbled upon this clip. I’d like to see more from the footage at the very beginning of “Staring at the Sea”!!
37 years ago...wow...i saw them in 82...touring in a circus tent..touring obscure little towns, including my own, Harderwijk, the Netherlands...the middle of a meadow...remembering some people standing in line, giving this guy shit for wearing a Pink Floyd shirt he just scored at the shows for The wall ...walking into the tent...great atmosphere...playing Faith in it's entirety...followed by a few from Seventeen Seconds...into Pornography...everything clicked!.,,
On repeat for a few years now since someone showed me this. Definitely the best era for me personally. They look better too! Love that hand wipe before launching in to the bassline on “A Forest” - looked like a 🔥 gig! 💪🏻
Claro que si!!!!!!... el concierto más lago que ha dado The Cure, y aquí, en México... esos clasicos en solo nadie los podrá olvidar jamas... fue lo mejor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Cure... 17 Second... advanced music for his time with the creations of Robert Smith and Company. We were teenagers and we got a record from England and it caught our attention with great force.
Whaaaaaaat?!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you :D Seriously. This is one of my favorite song from 17 secs! And I'm fucking 50 years old! =) Edit: Didn't see it was a full recording of the concert. Oh fuck! Even better!
Got to be the greatest live version of A Forest i have heard! The sound quality is superb. Would have love to have been there. Awesome era of The Cure!

15 years old, first real holiday without parents out of our backwater village, we saw the Cure (for free!) in Apeldoorn......

No, unfortunately not.....this was the whole set...
+Eric klein Goldewijk that must have been an unforgettable day!

active bass as well.

thank you, thank you, thank you. you have no idea how happy this made me.
my favorite band of all times
If I was a cat with 9 lives? One would be to see the Cure. The "bass lines" and "Lyrics" are setting the path for the next 30 years!
"In Your House" - 00:23
"M" - 04:25
"Jumping Someone Else's Train" - 07:35
"Another Journey By Train" - 09:56
"Play for Today" - 20:11
"A Forest" - 13:20
"A Reflection" - 19:18
Such a great era. How they went from this to Friday I am in Love is beyond my comprehension.
These songs by the cure are still current and relivent amazing artist.
Amazing. Saw them in '80 & '81.
Man where are all these rare video's coming from lately, this is GREAT!!!
No shit. I have been asking myself the same thing.
Then again ....i don't care except to say Thank you! This is great stuff. 😎
vwkaferman time travel
I was there, fought the sickness, found a Cure!
Well, a very old videotape but every instruments + the voice, sound clear.
I LOVE the blending of JUMPING SOMEONE ELSE'S TRAIN into ANOTHER JOURNEY BY TRAIN. WONDERFUL!
So very awesome! The best band ever!
number one thing on bucket list: see the cure at least once

Wow, I've never heard another journey by train Live. Simply brilliant for an instrumental.
Wow What an amazing performance, thanks for this. they also look great! Their best era by far
Totally agree
3 things that I think have inspired Robert in his song writing. Trains, Cats and the Sea. 😊
On repeat for a few years now since someone showed me this. Definitely the best era for me personally. They look better too! Love that hand wipe before launching in to the bassline on “A Forest” - looked like a 🔥 gig! 💪🏻
Definitivamente mi video favorito de esta banda. Dentro del bosque. Y el set de temas! demasiado post punk!!! el bajo de Gallup, inspirador!!!
Brilliant! I love The Cure, their initial albums and concerts.
Jakoś się nie malował i było lepiej
Claro que si!!!!!!... el concierto más lago que ha dado The Cure, y aquí, en México... esos clasicos en solo nadie los podrá olvidar jamas... fue lo mejor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant..such a talented band..been a fan for 30 years,would've loved to have been at this gig.
The cure geweldig had ze al eerder gezien in Nederland.
Nog steeds fam ben ,,53 en nog steeds jong bij deze muziek
The Cure... 17 Second... advanced music for his time with the creations of Robert Smith and Company. We were teenagers and we got a record from England and it caught our attention with great force.
wow...what a band! Really impressive performance...they already played A forest! incredible ...
I was only seven years old back then. Interesting enough I saw them three years later at age 10 in Dallas Texas
To me it's one of the most touching bands 🇦🇹
Wow. Seventeen seconds is my favourite Cure album. Thank you so much for this
i didnt appreciate that album until i heard the Peel session versions
@@DaveAnchovies Yeah, it took me a while too. And a cloudy autumn sunday
So fucking good! Fan of the "old" Cure forever...
Geweldig optreden . Beste tijd vd The Cure: thee imagenary boys, seventeen seconds , faith; their best albums in my opinion.
this is possibly the greatest i ever saw on youtube.
Whaaaaaaat?!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you :D
Seriously. This is one of my favorite song from 17 secs! And I'm fucking 50 years old! =)
Edit: Didn't see it was a full recording of the concert. Oh fuck! Even better!
Great concert! There will never be another guitar that sounds like that! Thank you Robert Smith and Fender! 🙂
It's very easy to sound like that actually.
Got to be the greatest live version of A Forest
i have heard! The sound quality is superb. Would have love to have been there. Awesome era of The Cure!
