The Cure - The Cure Are Dead (Live at Bruxelles 11/06/1982)

[MissCureCrazy]

Why did you pick this picture of all pictures?

[MissCureCrazy]

How tragic....but so glad they are still here!

[cmclsrnsee]

Gary is a wanker.

[SpeakMyLanguage143]

I believe they went into playing "Forever" and it was their intentions to play it all the way through... But of course unexceptionally ended up with "The Cure are Dead" (named by fans after the matter). "Forever" with a horrifying twist. Then there were two. Simon and Gary became "Fools Dance" along with Matthieu Hartley from The Cure shortly after this.

[varnagh]

@1981thecure We've discovered wikipedia too!

[selsmeister]

Doesnt help when the drunk vocalist says, "...used to live in this dump called Belgium - and it stunk!" doesnt help when your playing in the country - lucky they werent linched or bottled off!

[harmina92]

Ok, wherever is video, which register a fight between smith and simon?

[shakedydogshake]

Hell, I never knew this even got recorded! Wow, an excellent improv too, considering the situation!!!

Biddles sounds like he's trying to mock Robert, by being a drunk Smithy....

[simionTheOne]

i heard 'm say 'Smiths a wanker'

quite early on

about halfway the vid i think

i thought he'd say it later ^^

wow i never thought i'd get to hear this

& i'm not gonna ask how you found this piece f history ;]

[kenhen33]

It was a terrible idea for the last song of a gig especially at the end of a tour anyway. No wonder people were booing.

[jonathanr0ckz]

YES!

I thought i would never find this.

[pierrebarraud]

Robert smith -drums

Lol - bass

Simon Gallup- guitar

gary vocals

Synth ?

[TheDrowningCat]

O_O oh my CURE!!

[SimulacronX]

Wow thanks a lot for this tragicomical piece of cure history.

[polystyleneman]

Wow, such a notorious bit of Cure history, amazing to actually hear.

[agressivadue]

Thanks.

[tdoesntmatter]

that is so fucking cool! i read about this back in the 80's but never heard this!

[snakey319]

Biddles is a pretty good singer, lol. Almost as good as a Gallagher bro fight.

[thecure4burton]

thank you so much for putting this up, I was so curious as to what this sounded like when i was reading about this. It's amazing that there is a recording!!! :D

[Overcoate]

The melody at the beginning sounds like a precursor to Push, does it not?

[honeycatkins]

I really enjoyed listening to this! Is he going on about fascists living under a tree at about 3:50?! Bonkers. Such a good job they got back to being buddies again :)

[thecurearethebest]

i think robert had a very good right to throw his drum sticksa t him in the end

i love robert :D

[mrgreynomore]

Hear, hear. :) And "borislych" -- thanks for uploading this!

Just think, we're listening to Gary Biddles 10:01 of fame! ;-))

[ajittffcure]

I can hear Robert throwing the drumsticks at the end ;)

[Ombrenuit]

[HigherLoveBand]

such a magnificent ending;)

beginning of 'Fools Dance' era!

[powerandry]

I love robert smith!!!!!!

[borislych]

[kmfdm10392]

I get the feeling Robert is uploading all this great stuff for us...

No matter, whoever it is, thank you.

[JohnnySwitchblade]

I didn't know this infamous incident was recorded! This is really great stuff! Thanks for posting!

[plyror]

i don't think this is it b/c from what ive read he was suppose to start talking about them when he first came out

[TheActors]

Listen at about 4:56 - Biddles sings "Smith is a wanker, Tolhurst is too..."

[toncure]

Acojonante!!

[PequenaAlice]

I didnt hear anything special, it was sayd that robert has stopped drumming and fought gary, but I didnt hear anything, can anybody explain or translate it for me pls?

[PequenaAlice]

oops i didnt mean "explain" but tell what they say

[PequenaAlice]

gary biddles go back to hell or anywhere u have came from, u werent born to sing

[ionia23]

"How to watch a band fall apart in 10 easy minutes"

[thecureaol]

This one song was interpreted only once in the whole history.

[Listendudeok]

Wow amazing, where did you find this ?

Thank you...

[coldbarefeet]

Woah...this is so rare. Thank you.

[guitarbo1]

[minsh]

Enormous!!!! it's a legend rock scene!!! thank guy to share it

[sickboycurebg]

[1981thecure]

Awsome!This is the final song of the show where Smith is on drums,Tolhurst on bass,Simon on guitar and a roadie on vocals.Thanks for the post!

[pantteg]

Roadie is Gary Biddles a legend

[pollywarrior]

Thanks for uploading this. Five stars.

[curedtc2]

wheres the abuse bit?

[borislych]

what does it mean?

[curedtc2]

i mean where does robert throw his sticks and gary say that stuff?

[borislych]

it's a good question! maybe befor, maybe after. I've find the citation of R.Smith on internet, maybe that this citation is not truth! But this song is real...i mean, it's the last song of the pornography tour in brussel.

[siamq]

He mentions Simon at about 7:13. That can't be it though, because they keep playing for a while.
