When this was aired, I think the only thing we spoke about at school was the silly dresses. It was such a laugh. We loved the Cure because they were so unconventional, they were such a laugh, but yet their music is deep. We were real cureheads...with complete attire. Cool times. Wonder whether the kids get to love a band and feel like a big family in the same we we used to...
I remember watching that that night. The band was working in France on "Kiss Me", and my friends and I were dying to hear new material. We tuned in on that crappy tv show just to see if they would preview any new stuff, but they just did the re-recorded Boys Don't Cry instead. I read in the paper they did the dresses cos they couldn't give a fuck about lipsynching on a crappy french show and thought at least the outfit would make it funnier.
i REMEMBER when this aired! i was a kid.... and man people were talkin about it! several friends called to tell me about it... "Yes! They were wearing dresses!!!!"
No - it was released in 1979. It was then re-mixed with a new vocal track and re-released in 1986, to promote the release of the Standing on the Beach album. This performance was '86 of the re-mixed track.
last night i had a dream that me and my dad were in the audience watching this, but then i looked to my side and saw my old primary school teacher sitting next to me. she said hello and then proceeded to climb on to the stage and set it on fire with the cameras rolling and the band on it.
YOu're not being a jerk. It was orignally released in 1979. It was then re-released with a new vocal track in 1986 to promote the album 'Stanging on a Beach'. This performance is from 1986. Thanks for the comment.
XD I love how they all look in this video, I think Boris Williams and Simon Gallup look the most ridiculous, but I love it!!! And Robert looks absolutely wonderful! But what's with Lol playing guitar???
It is a re-release, to promote the _Standing on a Beach_ singles compilation. But this new version is not on the comp itself, but rather the original 1979 version.
Well, well, someone who does not know that the remix came out around the time of staring at the sea/head on the door, and who likes to call names. Good day to you mate, this was actually back around 86 indeed.
@tomyorke26 it was released in 1979 in the uk only as a single the album wasnt released until 1980 in the uk , but was not in the states till later on :)
the cure are very famous in france since the 80's and robert and simon love france.but, it's a familly tv show,not at all a rock or pop tv show.that explains the attitude of the audience
Como si el mayor mérito de The Cure fuera haber influido a unas bandas que no conoce nadie fuera de Suramérica... Y decir que en los ochenta todos era o postpunk o new wave... Venga ya!
a) he DID cut his hair in 86. Watch In Orange video if you dont believe me. b) the fact that the song came out in 78 (not 79) doesnt mean they cant play it in 86 =S
Exactly. Anyone who calls the Cure emo knows as little about the origins of the alternative music scene as you know about my hatred for people who don't feel the need to use correct spelling , punctuation or grammar.
yeah they had make a new version in 1986 of boys don't cry,comes along with the official videoclip and the first compilation album 'staring at the sea'' boys don't cry is from 1978,the first version ''the peel sessions''
HAHAHAHAHAHHAA The cure are actually huge in france yes and that certainly does not justify the attitude of the audience lol! they were like WTF?!?!?!?!?
Just guessing, maybe because the song says boys dont cry and he's hidding the tears in his eyes so he does cry making him a girl so they wear a dress as a metaphor or something
1980 was when _Boys Don't Cry_ (The Cure album) was released here (in North America), which had a different track listing than the _Three Imaginary Boys_ album released elsewhere in the world. It was first released as a single in the UK/Europe in June 1979.
You have to be fuckin nuts to play in dresses in front of not only a television audience... but a room full of suits. Boys don't cry indeed.... even when they're decked in Floral.

I’M ACTUALLY CRYING THIS IS PERFECTION

I giggled when Robert, Simon and Porl curtsied at the end.
All the curtsying at the end of the performance, then the cut to the unexpectedly stuffy-looking audience...I am so glad this video exists
The Cure has decided to wear dresses, because Indochine, french group which look like them, was in the show this time !
i REMEMBER when this aired! i was a kid.... and man people were talkin about it! several friends called to tell me about it... "Yes! They were wearing dresses!!!!"

Awesome ! This band has so many good songs I've forgotten more than I remember - just lucky to be reminded!
I was born in the 90s and I listen to music from the 80s and take it seriously . The Cure is my favorite band. (I'm 15)

The very best part of this video is how they grab the seam of their dresses to bow at the end! lol! fab fab stuff!

40 anos...👏
XD I love how they all look in this video, I think Boris Williams and Simon Gallup look the most ridiculous, but I love it!!!
And Robert looks absolutely wonderful!
But what's with Lol playing guitar???
In 1986 they made the video for boys don't cry, so it was like a re-realese
It is a re-release, to promote the _Standing on a Beach_ singles compilation. But this new version is not on the comp itself, but rather the original 1979 version.
The cureeeeeeee demais :D
attualissima!!!
icredible
The Cure in dresses on this song! :lol: Anyway, dresses suit them all, especially Robert!))))
They look so silly like that. Haha.

I love how the audience is all conservative and they are all silly in dresses. I love them, ahaah.
i wish i had a time machine... lol
Bien pour toi.
Its awesome. They were drunk and lip synching on French TV. Love that Porl did a little spin at the end.
they are all so sexxii in dresses!
ESPECIALLY ROBERT!!!!! ^____^
@tomyorke26 it was released in 1979 in the uk only as a single the album wasnt released until 1980 in the uk , but was not in the states till later on :)
the cure are very famous in france since the 80's and robert and simon love france.but, it's a familly tv show,not at all a rock or pop tv show.that explains the attitude of the audience
LOL HE'S WHERING A DRESSLOL
Beacause this video is in playback! :-)
oh!la!la que d année en arriere mais c est toujours genial a ecouter i love the cure
something of morrissey in robert smith's voice. The riff is so Smith !
Regardez bien les 10 dernières secondes : la tête du public : j'adoooooooooorrrreeeeeeee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow Robert became the percursor of a frontman wearing a dress before Kurt Cobain
Yes, and the audience is so dull about it, too. "Comme normal. Des hommes dans les robes." Or something. Wish I had better memory of that class.
Como si el mayor mérito de The Cure fuera haber influido a unas bandas que no conoce nadie fuera de Suramérica... Y decir que en los ochenta todos era o postpunk o new wave... Venga ya!
a) he DID cut his hair in 86. Watch In Orange video if you dont believe me.
b) the fact that the song came out in 78 (not 79) doesnt mean they cant play it in 86 =S
Exactly. Anyone who calls the Cure emo knows as little about the origins of the alternative music scene as you know about my hatred for people who don't feel the need to use correct spelling , punctuation or grammar.
I hate it when people say they're emo.
They're original goth. 70s goth.
i thought the exact same thing as soon as the video started...
yeah they had make a new version in 1986 of boys don't cry,comes along with the official videoclip and the first compilation album 'staring at the sea''
boys don't cry is from 1978,the first version ''the peel sessions''
Bien dicho Acino, Leonelcure creo que malentendio!
HAHAHAHAHAHHAA The cure are actually huge in france yes and that certainly does not justify the attitude of the audience lol! they were like WTF?!?!?!?!?
actually eragon00125 is wrong... they re-released boys dont cry, as a 'new voice mix' in 85/86 after staring at the sea.this recording is from 1986!
this was recorded in 1979, for the record
But it failed to chart the first time around!
it was rerecorded in 1986
yoo no wat made me lauf....
the waii dat roberts dressed in dat dress...den it cuts to the audience who r all dressed poshly an dead formal....
hehe
@shavemypubebeard
In Fact Boys Don't Cry was written in 1976 but it was released in 1979.
Just guessing, maybe because the song says boys dont cry and he's hidding the tears in his eyes so he does cry making him a girl so they wear a dress as a metaphor or something
1986 hit?
I could swear that it came out in 1980
it was there first release
1980 was when _Boys Don't Cry_ (The Cure album) was released here (in North America), which had a different track listing than the _Three Imaginary Boys_ album released elsewhere in the world.
It was first released as a single in the UK/Europe in June 1979.
Alguien me podra comentar
esa es una guitarra Peavey modelo Raptor?
lol, they didn't look at all thrilled, did they? tough crowd.
@tomyorke26 ya but when was it released in the u.s.a.
il es creative, c'est ca.
the clothes are creepy.. but that is the point why I love the Cure!
Why was it a 1986 hit when it came out years before that?
I was looking at this comments, they are 10 or more years old💀
@sambaley
Yep; but it was "playback". I'm not sure lol was a guitarist...
@shavemypubebeard
I wasnt saying if it was a Popular Song, i just wrote the Exact Date, is all i did.
yeah idk y though the tv channel probably wanted it done that way
@ZackLikesCheese You owe me a new computer monitor. I just spit soda all over mine after reading about your lost pokemon card. haha
You have to be fuckin nuts to play in dresses in front of not only a television audience... but a room full of suits.
Boys don't cry indeed.... even when they're decked in Floral.
@shavemypubebeard TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
