  • The Cure play A Forest at the Rock Werchter Festival on july 2, 1981. This is the infamous "f***k Robert Palmer, f**k Rock and Roll" episode where the Cure were told they had to cut their set short, obviously not to the amusement of Robert Smith, Simon Gallup and Lol Tolhurst.

    Bands like The Cure and Joy Division took the raw energy of Punk, and entwined it with depth and atmosphere,without losing integrity.

    this is great. You can just imagine the stage managers wanting to get the band off to move on to the next so they say "one more song" to Mr Smith, with them expecting another four minutes or so. Then Mr Smith decides to do a nearly nine minute version of Forest to piss them off. Excellent!

    • @DolleHengst

      Actually it was Robert Palmer who wanted them to leave the stage, and even tried to have his roadies forcibly get the Cure off. Really a dick move. The audience having a good time is what a festival is about. Even if you're the headliner, you can't treat other bands like some support act.

    On this date in 1981, THE CURE player Werchter Festival in Belgium, a concert infamous for the band's Robert Palmer-baiting version of A FOREST, (July 5th, 1981).
    A late running concert saw festival organisers trying to hurry The Cure along to make way for the next act, Robert Palmer. Taking exception to this, Robert Smith informed the crowd what was happening and retaliated by leading the band through an epic version of A Forest, all 9 minutes of it.
    "We'd only been on for about a half an hour and everything was running late so Robert Palmer's road crew started motioning to us to stop,” said Smith.
    “This bloke ran on and said 'If you don't stop playing, we're gonna pull the plug' …and we started playing a really slow version of 'A Forest' which lasted about 15 minutes.”
    “It was f****** brilliant. Unfortunately, when we finished, they threw all our stuff off the back of the stage ..."
    At the end of the number, Simon Gallup shouted, “F*** Robert Palmer! F*** rock'n'roll!”
    The video here is this ominous, tenser-than-usual take of A FOREST.

      @ I've never seen those lyrics in any recorded version of this song. I understand the band was miffed with the Robert Palmer crew that day. Maybe at 5:25, Robert and Simon were discussing ways to make the song last longer just to anger the Palmer crew, and remembered that segment from some by-gone practice session. I can't lip read - but maybe Simon is asking something like "was that in G or D" or whatever at 5:25.

Fortunately, I was able to leave acid behind. Fortunately, I wasn’t able to leave The Cure behind, even 30 years later. A Forest is the song that got me hooked on The Cure. It has a special place in my head and heart. I can’t imagine a short, edited version. I also like Robert Palmer. Go figure.

      I like how Robert Smith drops his left hand at 7:18, but keeps on strumming. It's like a "F*** You" to Palmer.

      @Kiwifan His voice changed because he learnt how to sing.

    • @zoeherriot
      @zoeherriot 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Kiwifan oh jesus, it's you... he took singing lessons prior to Disintegration - my high school music teacher was friends with Robert and she mentioned it. But he also discussed it in a Rolling Stone article around 1989.
      But more generally, he learnt to sing over time. That's why by the time the Top was recorded he was using different singing voices and techniques, such as falsetto.

    I was at this festival! To see the Cure (my first time) was the reason I went. (I was a high school exchange student in Belgium at the time). I distinctly remember Robert Smith's white bandana and his no nonsense approach to the music - just announced the song and played. Best Cure gig I ever saw.

    • @maryjohnb.824
      @maryjohnb.824 9 ปีที่แล้ว +57

      The biggest mistake of Robert's career was ditching the white bandana. It was incredibly ace. He should still be wearing it today. I have spoken. Carry on.

    The best live version of a Forest- if not best version ever period… Robert & Simone anger w/Robert Palmers performance pushing them off inspired passion & as we know the best music is played with passion - and they played each cord beautifully again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & beautifully again😂😎

    Wow hauntingly beautiful song, every time I see this I also think he is somewhat like Robert Pattinson’a cousin, with the unusual likeness. Wonderfully reborn with The Batman movie as a theme song with the secondary installment.
