the hole gig is fantastic,just brilliant.....they should release this(somehow..)as a dvd!!i have many old cure bootlegs from 79-89,most of them on tape...most of this tapes,some are in good quality,some unfortunally not ,are exactly like this video:GIGANTIC!!at that period the cure were one of the best(live) bands that had ever be..and will exist!damn,i would sell my mom to see all this gigs....again.
they should release a booklet with all the instrumental parts (Im searching particularly for all basslines) from their era 1979-1982 so we can have access to them as accurate as it goes as on the internet I'm never really sure whether those TABs are right mostly they are partly but not 100% :/
great performance great song.. what else to say? The Cure
I've often tried to create sounds and moods like the Cure did. But somewhere in The Cures early minimalistic music, you need a rare kind of genius to make it believable, and thats what this band had. Awesome.
Awesome live version...Seventeen seconds has always been my favorite Cure album.
This looks like the same footage on "staring at the Sea" the parts between the vids with them doing "the final sound" right before the "a forest" video. Thanks for posting it
Smith is an excellent guitarist. I'd goes far to say he's one of the most underrated player ever. And I say that because of the amazing guitar work he did on the first album. You hear all the studio demos and rarities with all the brilliant solos and feedback , and it's all him. He doesn't about being a guitar player much, since I reckon he just sees it just as his tool for composing but damn, he's good. :)
woah. They were just kids. well, weren't we all? LOL! I had no idea they were this good and that Robert Smith played guitar so well. Actually I had no idea he played guitar at all. I can hear how the Cars were influenced by this movement in British pop.
