I am going to be 71. Cure fan since the beginning. Just seen them last year with twilight sad opening. Best band. Cool band. My band. Love to all of them forever ♥️♥️
Hahaha it just keeps getting better! I’m so glad that this album was the only album I had on my iPad as a kid. It was all I’d listen to on road trips and it has blessed me with good music taste.
This is one of those songs i can listen to again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again....
Yeah mate. I'm sure your arms will feel it for the rest of your life, mine do. I'm sure we've both done some crazy things... Better world for it though, you gave to so many who appreciate it. UK will never forget. Best wishes to you either way, respect, you played awesome.
Basse à 6 cordes. John Deacon de QUEEN était doué avec ses basses 4 cordes mais là, Simon Gallup déchire grave avec ses basses 6 cordes. Il est génial !
So great,I see them. in 1987 in Berlin.I‘m 55 years old but when I hear this I feel like I‘m 21 again.....and again and again and again....So gorgeous🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍!!!!!!
Come closer and see See into the trees Find the girl While you can Come closer and see See into the dark Just follow your eyes Just follow your eyes I hear her voice Calling my name The sound is deep In the dark I hear her voice And start to run Into the trees Into the trees Into the trees Suddenly I stop But I know it's too late I'm lost in a forest All alone The girl was never there It's always the same I'm running towards nothing Again and again and again and again... She said "could you take me home tonight? It's the only way I know. " She said "could you take me home tonight? There's no other way I know. " She said "you know the way you used to do." "Of course I'll take you home." "You know the way you used to do." "Of course I'll take you home." This kiss could cost my life. Is all you see in her eyes. This kiss could cost my life. Is all you see in her eyes. It's all you see in her eyes. She said "Take my hand, take me home." She said "Take my hand, take me home. Take me home. Take me home.
This is one of my favorite songs by The Cure. They are my favorite band in the world. I was born in 86, but i grew up listening to 80s and classic/heavy metal music. 80s music will always rule!
Hey good music comes from the soul thus making it timeless I'll listen to anything that has some soul in it. No need to restrict based upon time. Which is why mainstream music usually does not have ppl revisiting it in 34 years. Not always but c'mon I'm not about to meditate w/ ice ice baby.
I gotta say this was one of the best live versions they ever did. Saw them in ‘’87 and ‘93 (twice). Plan on seeing them in ‘23 but this time I’m taking my 14 yo son. Gotta train the kid right! Cheers Cure fans!
Cure to this day. 1st show in DC. 84. Lived in London after. Twin daughters now 21. Their background is Cure based. Thanks for sharing. Another note, Cure helped and publicised a band from Seven Sisters that i saw live multiple times. Same genre. 84-87? Any knowledge or feedback appreciated.
No, but close. They played a 20 minute long rendition at their Xmas '87 Kiss Me tour gig at Wembley Arena that I went to, half that was a guitar solo by Robert - absolutely magic. Almost 30 years ago now, sheesh!
@@johnperkins4611 That's the 1981 version at the Werchter festival. Robert Palmer was up next, and they told them to get off, so they kept playing (and the song ends with the infamous F Robert Palmer, F Rock and Roll from Simon). That is what started the extended versions of the song - but the've had other songs they would do this with. The unreleased song All Mine was an extended jam that changed every time they played it.
It's 2024 and this song has NOT aged. In fact, if you don't watch the videos and just listen to anything in The Cure's catalogue you cannot know when these songs were released. That is how good they are. In fact if you listen to the Cure now and listen to Robert Smith sing "A Forest" live, he sounds almost exactly same as he did 40+ years ago and possibly BETTER. Cheers from NYC!!
This version of ‘A Forest’ is a gift to Cure fans, especially to the fans who were at this show. Wow oh WOW! An epic version of the song…. One downside to it is that the song doesn’t continue forever. If only I could turn back time and place myself at this show. 😌
@@danielbliss8014 they kinda did - the version on mixed up was a re-recording inspired by their live performances because the masters were lost. Also - I fucking saw this version live and it still sticks with me to this day. It was amazing.
I've seen them live 20 times, in 6 different cities. This is the best performance ever and that tour was the best I've seen too. The Cure forever and ever.
The year 2024 is speaking here. It still is and always has been The Cure's hottest song. There are many other songs but this one is outstanding. I will never forget the 80s and the beginning of the 90s... it was an amazing time. Puberty, slowly growing up (if you did at all). The rebelliousness you felt inside. You just didn't know exactly what or who you were rebelling against at the beginning. When I close my eyes to this song, I'm back in those moments, which makes this song so amazingly real. It's so cool how this song brings back so many memories. Smoky discos, the smell of teen spirit (literally, not because of the Nirvana song). A bottle of beer in hand and everyone doing the same Cure-style dance. Along with the Sisters of Mercy, The Cure helped me through every depression, relationship drama, stress, heartbreak and all that other fucked up shit. And now, all these decades later, not much has changed. Ok, you've gotten older, the problems and worries are perhaps of a different nature, but they're somehow the same, just from a different perspective or in a different way. The Cure is literally the cure for such situations. Growing up sucks sometimes.
Oh Sisters of Mercy are a favourite!!! I went into a record shop in Bendigo Australia in 1991 and heard this amazing music over the shop speakers. It was Sisters of Mercy! I fell in love in that shop with their music. And they had to order it in for me from the UK. Still have it. Wish I hade seen The Cure when I had the chance 😢 I’m a bit older than you, AC/DC and Alice Cooper were my teen angst music. But in a good way. I was extremely rebellious and my mum was on Valium because of my behaviour but never crime or drugs. And I actually ended up working for the police here for 15 years. I turned out ok, in spite of my mother thinking I’d end up in prison. 🤣 This performance of this song is fricking amazing to this day!!!!
Don't forget the others........forty years is pretty long..........l agree, completely.............'though watch page/Thompson live, on lullaby.........
If you love the cure, and you have access to London, try Camden market..........word of mouth.....,..underneath the bridge..........after lockdown.........to be absolutely honest.. ..stay safe and well........
Watch for every little iota...........,amongst the expected...........few l think would've seen plant singing lullaby......he is astonishing.......,.but the weirdness lies with Robert Smith......as does the song.........take a look...........suss it............
And again..........but seriously dig out the music from albums and films...........a lot..........try treasure,,,,,,,,,,,,,bare...........whatever,............so much,..............
this is exactly how it was when they played in Philly late 80s early 90s. This song just blew everyone away…they just kept going with that bass, seemed like forever. It was brilliant. we were all in awe.
I’m roughly the same age as Robert, and have loved them for years. They still blow me away to this day!! Please come to Australia again!! Always something magical about them,and his voice is gorgeous! What a stunning performance of this amazing song. A Time Machine is required please, come by and pick me up and take me back! Simon is a beast on bass!!!
I saw this live in Sacramento, May 7th 1992, The Forest was the last song they played in the last encore, it was phukin PHENOMINAL, will never forget it
+Joachim Peiper Neither will I (And I got my tinnitus started on the same tour on one of their venues in Sweden). Still remembering the length of that gig as so great (four hours something).
I'm sure the beginning was planned, but when Robert starts riffing vocals, I think it just descended into musical genius and improv. One of the best live cuts of anything I've ever seen or heard.
It's only now I am realising how incredibly important a lot of 80s music is in the history of music. Don't get me wrong - even at the time it felt special - I saw these guys at the Birmingham Odeon in 1980 and Robert Smith played lead guituar for both the Cure and Souixsie and The Banshees that night. When I think of the mantle picked up by The Cure, Bauhaus, Echo and the Bunnymen, early Depeche Mode, handed over by groups like The Damned and The Stranglers, well only later did I realise how lucky I was to be 15 years old in 1977 and emerging into punk, then growing into late teen/early 20s listening to this stuff. I really was blessed with an embarrassment of riches.
This version is amazing. The Cure at the top of their game, playing one of their absolute best songs. And nice little touch of Joy Division toward the end! 🤘
Robert just showed how good he is.. & the rest of the Cure just showed they are one of the very very best live acts to ever perform, they've been there, done that, & could still do it. The best. Wish I'd been in England for this.
This was recorded in the US - but this tour was amazing. I can say, having had the privilege of seeing this tour live in 92, I got to see their mastery first hand - and it was because of this tour, and Robert that I started playing guitar. He's way better than people give him credit for.

I always liked The Cure but... damn.. I never realized how good their live stuff was. Been all over YT now and am discovering a whole new "The Cure". Easily have to say: their live stuff is FAR better than the studio cuts. Over 20 years and I have never checked out a single one of their concerts - have been missing out big time.
@@413dreaming I'm trying to do some discovering as I never really listened to Joy Division (not my times, discovering this by myself). What song exactly is that riff from? Cause it's absolutely mindblowing
I'm 51 and still listen to The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, Love and Rockets, Pink Floyd, Mazzy Star, Portishead so many more.....but The Cure has a special place in my heart and mind. The lyrics and emotion behind the music is so original it's the best. I have almost all their albums, but Pornography is one of my favorites. I've been lucky enough to see them in concert a few times, and they are incredible performers, the crowd was always fully engaged.
,pornograhy is brilliant, yet so underrated..,...........l think people were wary of the title..........it was about politics, not perversity..,..........
I was there with my dad when i was 10 years old. In fact, i think it was this same show because i believe this is Philadelphia, PA. I'm not totally sure tho
But, to me, the 1989 moment was even more energetic. If you hear entreat LP and some of the videos of that tour.... god... Boris was on his very finest moment bringing the time a bit up to all the band.
@@ekklesiast yes,exactly,almost every live version is better for me,but this one,subjective, is the best one in any kind of form.,fkin amazing.greetz :-)
Came across this one about a month after seeing The Cure during their 2023 North American tour (in Columbia, MD) This is an incredible performance, and they remain unsurpassed as performers. I hope to see them again soon!
Mit The Cure bin ich aufgewachsen, genauso mit Depeche Mode, U2, später kam Placebo dazu, und sie alle höre ich bis heute.❤ Immer wieder Gänsehaut. Mit der Musik von heute kann ich mich einfach nicht anfreunden. Habe vor kurzem wieder The lost Boys gesehen. Cry little sister ist ebenfalls ein geiler Song ❤
I think the Best Song of EVER and all the Times ... never heard such e brilliant awsome and wonderfull song like this ... can't stop listening everyday from years and years ..again and again and again
I absolutely agree......,...but please spread your net wider..........."Bare", may be their best ever........some may say "disintegration",.........l suppose it depends on wild, mood swings,.........we all have.,.......,.only remember.,,..........there is so much choice...........a nice day or evening, wherever you are..........x..................!
This was the line up I first saw live back in 92. They opened the Wish tour in Miami, I saw them both nights. Unforgettable. Seen them 14 times since. Saw them open their "songs for a lost world tour" in 2022. Incredible live band.
My Dad showed me this song and when i heard it i listened to it again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN and again and again and AGAIN😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨 BUT i SITLL love it😃
In 1992 I was at the best concert of my life - "The Cure" in Munich, Olympiastadion. I was 30 years old then and I still get blown away when I hear this music - and today, February 21, 2022, I'm celebrating my 60th birthday with "The Cure - A Forest" ... and again and again and again and again and again and again ....
I truly think this is the finest live performance I have seen. I was not there but just watching it takes you somewhere. This song is amazing actually better live this being the best. It's an entire vibe-depth
I remember listening to this song at 15 years old, now I'm 54.and I still listen to this song over again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.

My favorite part about this is when you think it can’t get any better and then proceeds to do so like more five times.
again and again and again
Hahaha it just keeps getting better! I’m so glad that this album was the only album I had on my iPad as a kid. It was all I’d listen to on road trips and it has blessed me with good music taste.
Well said.. I'm a repeat guest of this exact video for so many years now.. ❤ just an epic incredible performance of the already MOST Excellent song..

One of the best bass lines ever. The Cure are so ridiculously unique. Such a pleasure to listen to.
So unique!!
The best bass!!

Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes
I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees
Into the trees
Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again and again...
She said "could you take me home tonight?
It's the only way I know.
" She said "could you take me home tonight?
There's no other way I know.
" She said "you know the way you used to do."
"Of course I'll take you home."
"You know the way you used to do."
"Of course I'll take you home."
This kiss could cost my life.
Is all you see in her eyes.
This kiss could cost my life.
Is all you see in her eyes.
It's all you see in her eyes.
She said "Take my hand, take me home."
She said "Take my hand, take me home.
Take me home.
Take me home.

After 42 years I have to say this is my favorite Cure song. I love others but this one moves me like no other.
I agree!!!!
@@haagsenar7172 my favorite cure song always seems to be the one I'm listening to now! 63 years old and still my favorite band.
totally agree !! this one is the master piece beyong all the gems they've done !
Good choice, it's mine too
Mine too
Love the She Lost Control bassline appearance at 11:13. I wish the Cure had done a full length cover of the song
Funnily enough, JD used to be the support band of the Cure a few times, but Peter Hook recalls they did not give them any attention!!
Robert plays it on guitar.
@@malomorvan784 Peter's a bit of a funny guy though - the rest of New Order still have a decent relationship with The Cure.
saw him last year in at the hollywood bowl and he did the same thing !
Saw them last night in Toronto 2023! Still as good as ever!🎉❤
40 years & I’ve never seen them. What I would give❤
This version's just so trippy
Robert Smith is a genius.
+Scott McGillivray I will second that true legend..
+Scott McGillivray he is and always will be my rock. i consider myself blessed to have been alive while he was here.

and still going strong !!!! alive!!!!
Y Boris Williams también
I saw this tour back in 92. This has to be the BEST version of the song they’ve ever played live. It was amazing.
Lucky you! What a treat!
Yes i agree…. I saw this tour too….. it was amazing
I saw it too - it was amazing. My friend however had to go to the toilet, and he was like "Just FINISH ALREADY!" - lol.
There’s a great one in England some where . Check it out .
Simon is just a monster. Robert and The Cure are a magnificent band. Without Simon Gallup, it wouldn't be the same.
There is no Cure without Simon Gallup IMO!!!!!
I gotta say this was one of the best live versions they ever did. Saw them in ‘’87 and ‘93 (twice). Plan on seeing them in ‘23 but this time I’m taking my 14 yo son. Gotta train the kid right! Cheers Cure fans!
Imagine if you could have said to them in 1993- ‘Hey, I’ll see you guys again in 2023’
Lol! True. It’s like Robert said after the Hyde Park Anniversary show, “here’s to the next decade.” He’s almost on mark. God bless that man.
Cure to this day. 1st show in DC. 84. Lived in London after. Twin daughters now 21. Their background is Cure based. Thanks for sharing. Another note, Cure helped and publicised
a band from Seven Sisters that i saw live multiple times. Same genre. 84-87? Any knowledge or feedback appreciated.
I take my 11y old son two weeks ago on the Cure concert in Zagreb, we had a fantastic time. Wish you the same ☺️🤟

And now, all these decades later, not much has changed. Ok, you've gotten older, the problems and worries are perhaps of a different nature, but they're somehow the same, just from a different perspective or in a different way.
The Cure is literally the cure for such situations.
Growing up sucks sometimes.
Oh Sisters of Mercy are a favourite!!! I went into a record shop in Bendigo Australia in 1991 and heard this amazing music over the shop speakers. It was Sisters of Mercy! I fell in love in that shop with their music. And they had to order it in for me from the UK. Still have it. Wish I hade seen The Cure when I had the chance 😢 I’m a bit older than you, AC/DC and Alice Cooper were my teen angst music. But in a good way. I was extremely rebellious and my mum was on Valium because of my behaviour but never crime or drugs. And I actually ended up working for the police here for 15 years. I turned out ok, in spite of my mother thinking I’d end up in prison. 🤣 This performance of this song is fricking amazing to this day!!!!
Classic Cure. I'm 52 and have loved this forever. Continue to listen again and again and again and again and again.........
And again and again and again and again 😁
Don't forget the others........forty years is pretty long..........l agree, completely.............'though watch page/Thompson live, on lullaby.........
If you love the cure, and you have access to London, try Camden market..........word of mouth.....,..underneath the bridge..........after lockdown.........to be absolutely honest..
..stay safe and well........
Watch for every little iota...........,amongst the expected...........few l think would've seen plant singing lullaby......he is astonishing.......,.but the weirdness lies with Robert Smith......as does the song.........take a look...........suss it............
And again..........but seriously dig out the music from albums and films...........a lot..........try treasure,,,,,,,,,,,,,bare...........whatever,............so much,..............
I love it,when Robert is playing the legendary Riff of Joy Division at 11:14!!!
shes lost control!
Yes!!!
That’s the BEST! I love to think he loved Ian as much as I did. That was such a magical time and I love knowing Robert felt that too.
It also sounds like Hong Kong Garden by soixsie and the Banshees
Yes
This is the best version of the song imo
Saw them live recently… it was unbelievable good!!! Their music 30 years later and still sounds amazing!!!
At his age Smith has still a great voice and from his guitar comes out the same magic we could ear in the 80's.
I'm crying for this piece of beauty.
This is on my list for one of the best live songs ever. The energy is just insane.
I Absolutely Agree
So true buddy! I agree! \o/
Hell yes. I get lost in this song with headphones on
Stu Mobley I agree 🖤

one of ..ok but keep a cool head. i really enjoy cure, this is the best i ever heard them
My favourite Cure song for driving down a dark road with a destination still to be determined.
extendo mix of the walk does it for me
Coddiwomple!
The Ardens
Someone has studied his kabbalah.
The same for me
Im nearly 50 years old and this is one of the songs that got me into music when I was younger....pure genius and a classic.
me too
i'm almost 40 and i was 15 back then.. same. still one of my fav songs ever.
No band will ever come close.
I am almost 20 and this song got me into music when I heard it for the first time when I was 5
Cool, when I get to be around your age - I'm sure to love them just as much !
this is exactly how it was when they played in Philly late 80s early 90s. This song just blew everyone away…they just kept going with that bass, seemed like forever. It was brilliant. we were all in awe.
I’m roughly the same age as Robert, and have loved them for years. They still blow me away to this day!! Please come to Australia again!! Always something magical about them,and his voice is gorgeous! What a stunning performance of this amazing song. A Time Machine is required please, come by and pick me up and take me back! Simon is a beast on bass!!!
I saw this live in Sacramento, May 7th 1992, The Forest was the last song they played in the last encore, it was phukin PHENOMINAL, will never forget it
I agree!!
+Joachim Peiper The song is called A Forest...not The Forest
Keith Redmond Yeah, I know
+Joachim Peiper Yup, saw the same show in Miami, and I agree, this was the most amazing part of the concert. Unforgettable.
+Joachim Peiper Neither will I (And I got my tinnitus started on the same tour on one of their venues in Sweden). Still remembering the length of that gig as so great (four hours something).
The PERFECT live version!!! BRUTAL!!!!
I'm sure the beginning was planned, but when Robert starts riffing vocals, I think it just descended into musical genius and improv. One of the best live cuts of anything I've ever seen or heard.
They quickly get in the Zone and never look back. This is much greater than the sum of its parts.
They all made this perfect
It's only now I am realising how incredibly important a lot of 80s music is in the history of music. Don't get me wrong - even at the time it felt special - I saw these guys at the Birmingham Odeon in 1980 and Robert Smith played lead guituar for both the Cure and Souixsie and The Banshees that night. When I think of the mantle picked up by The Cure, Bauhaus, Echo and the Bunnymen, early Depeche Mode, handed over by groups like The Damned and The Stranglers, well only later did I realise how lucky I was to be 15 years old in 1977 and emerging into punk, then growing into late teen/early 20s listening to this stuff. I really was blessed with an embarrassment of riches.
Correction - it was Sept '79
@@freakbeatagogo1208😂
Im have 30 now ,its sooo good,i like it
It is true music 😂 maybe is not lost
Beautifu way to put it, treasure those memories
It is difficult to describe how important this band was in the development of modern rock.
Vraiment d'accord !!!!!!!!
In life as well...

Still gives me goosebumps and touches my soul 35+ yrs later
This is mysteriously exotic. Truly a masterpiece.
Wish I could jump through the screen... To be there and to be back in 1992.
I never felt more jealous than of people that were my age in 92, rocking to this SPECTACULAR live performance.
I don't know how old you are - but I saw this live in 1992 when I was 15. And it was EPIC.

@@rebeccanascimento8234 you won’t regret it :)
Anyone else actually feel like there in a cold dark forest listening to this? ❤
Wish I were there right now
This version is amazing. The Cure at the top of their game, playing one of their absolute best songs. And nice little touch of Joy Division toward the end! 🤘
i think this is their best line up honestly, Porl on guitars man
11.15-11.25 joy Division -She lost control
road house blues too
The best live version I have ever heard
@@markusanderson1517 Oh yes 😁
That crowd witnessed live perfection. Absolutely superb version of a great song.
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT wym I literally was able to see the cure 3 months ago and there's ton of amazing new music lol we're doing alright
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT they were doing new music on the tour yes.
I saw them the next two nights on this tour. You're not wrong, they were firing on all 4 cylinders.
There's no band like The Cure. They are literally one of the best bands in the world.
It's 2085 and this is still Fuqqing EPIC!!!!!
This is the best live show I’ve ever seen with The Cure.
I'd probably watched this about 1001 times and every time I see it it feels like I'm watching it like I'd never seen it before..
Talentueux et merveilleux Robert Smith. C lui le boss
People thought I was odd playing this on the jukebox in the pub . Now they appreciate how truly amazing this is. Love The Cure then and now.
I play this at least twice a week. Can't tire of it
Robert just showed how good he is.. & the rest of the Cure just showed they are one of the very very best live acts to ever perform, they've been there, done that, & could still do it. The best. Wish I'd been in England for this.
This was recorded in the US - but this tour was amazing. I can say, having had the privilege of seeing this tour live in 92, I got to see their mastery first hand - and it was because of this tour, and Robert that I started playing guitar. He's way better than people give him credit for.
@@zoeherriot Yes.
You compare Hendrix with the cure?
dont exaggerate! i like cure very much but dont get carried away
@@nickra60 why not? both genius on his gutitars...

I always liked The Cure but... damn.. I never realized how good their live stuff was. Been all over YT now and am discovering a whole new "The Cure". Easily have to say: their live stuff is FAR better than the studio cuts. Over 20 years and I have never checked out a single one of their concerts - have been missing out big time.
I'm gonna see them for the 1st time this July 2023 in Miami. I'm 43 & been a fan since the 80's. I'm stoked!
Agree... and know the feeling on not having seen em.
Trilogy is great !
BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE OF THIS SONG I HAVE HEARD.
That joy division tribute was so beautiful.. I really wish I could see them live again, it changed my life
Portia Janes I love that part. Right at 11:15
@@413dreaming I'm trying to do some discovering as I never really listened to Joy Division (not my times, discovering this by myself). What song exactly is that riff from? Cause it's absolutely mindblowing
Nevermind i got it!
@@danieldobrowolski5 What song is it from?
@@thebigkrischan Joy Division - She's lost control
I'm 51 and still listen to The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, Love and Rockets, Pink Floyd, Mazzy Star, Portishead so many more.....but The Cure has a special place in my heart and mind. The lyrics and emotion behind the music is so original it's the best. I have almost all their albums, but Pornography is one of my favorites. I've been lucky enough to see them in concert a few times, and they are incredible performers, the crowd was always fully engaged.
If you like Arthur Lee & Robert Smith you are doing something well,.....nice week..,...........
,pornograhy is brilliant, yet so underrated..,...........l think people were wary of the title..........it was about politics, not perversity..,..........
So you have beauty & excellent taste...........so!
I did mess up cos Arthur Lee had a band, Love...........a mate of Doors & west coast bands......,.forever changed is a classic........
Changes.,.......my fault.
This gem never gets old.
Впервые слушаю эту песню. Очень понравилась. Гитары просто вау. Качаю все альбомы) Спасибо за наводку)
искренне вам завидую!!!
советую все альбомы к прослушиванию, лично мои любимые Seventeenth Second, Faith и Bloodflovers. они все идеальны
Blessed are those that attended this outstanding performance!
I was there with my dad when i was 10 years old. In fact, i think it was this same show because i believe this is Philadelphia, PA. I'm not totally sure tho
I went to Madrid show that year. November 1992. Amazing performance at the old Palacio de deportes.
But, to me, the 1989 moment was even more energetic. If you hear entreat LP and some of the videos of that tour.... god... Boris was on his very finest moment bringing the time a bit up to all the band.

Agreed,best live performance i v ever heard
I don't even like The Cure yet love this..
@@uzeriks1121 it's better than the studio version as well
@@ekklesiast yes,exactly,almost every live version is better for me,but this one,subjective, is the best one in any kind of form.,fkin amazing.greetz :-)
Basically any version from the 80s
I've heard this one hundreds of times and every time I go nuts!
Agreed!!!
Same. I get goosebumps all the way through even though I know it off by heart. 👍🏻🏴
Came across this one about a month after seeing The Cure during their 2023 North American tour (in Columbia, MD) This is an incredible performance, and they remain unsurpassed as performers. I hope to see them again soon!
Wow! I was born in the right musical era. 30 years later, song is magnificent.
13+ minutes of passion, intrigue, pleasure and pain anesthetized.
the album _Disintegration_ changed everything for The Cure, ensuring them a permanent foothold on the world stage.
This is musical perfection.
Mit The Cure bin ich aufgewachsen, genauso mit Depeche Mode, U2, später kam Placebo dazu, und sie alle höre ich bis heute.❤ Immer wieder Gänsehaut. Mit der Musik von heute kann ich mich einfach nicht anfreunden. Habe vor kurzem wieder The lost Boys gesehen. Cry little sister ist ebenfalls ein geiler Song ❤
I think the Best Song of EVER and all the Times ... never heard such e brilliant awsome and wonderfull song like this ... can't stop listening everyday from years and years ..again and again and again
The Greatest.....with a BIG G.....
I have followed the cure for + 30 years. I'M a layer and In my office, I listen to pornography over and over. Decade after decade. Nothing changes.
One of the best live songs ever
Cure so underrated, definitely one of the best.
Absolute nonsense. You don’t get inducted in to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by being underrated.
Definitely The Cure's best 'non pop song'. First heard it 43 years ago and it still sounds fabulous ❤️
My daughter goes to sleep to this song everyday. Its so hypnotic..it literally wipes her out. I LOVE THE CURE!!!

Coolest mother ever :)

I make a habit of watching this at least twice a week. Absolute perfection
This was the line up I first saw live back in 92. They opened the Wish tour in Miami, I saw them both nights. Unforgettable. Seen them 14 times since. Saw them open their "songs for a lost world tour" in 2022. Incredible live band.
My Dad showed me this song and when i heard it i listened to it again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN and again and again and AGAIN😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨 BUT i SITLL love it😃
The best live version ever 👏🏽

У меня не хватает слов описать эту мощь , звучит так же актуально как и 27 лет назад. Ну что тут скажешь - люблю The Cure!
If there were to be just one song ever... this is the one
In 1992 I was at the best concert of my life - "The Cure" in Munich, Olympiastadion. I was 30 years old then and I still get blown away when I hear this music - and today, February 21, 2022, I'm celebrating my 60th birthday with "The Cure - A Forest" ... and again and again and again and again and again and again ....
