    yep good one Mr Smith

  • Oh My God! Outstanding! Thank you so much!

  • Oh my god I would have killed for this footage 20 years ago

  • Just brilliant!

  • 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

  • thx! always liked the bassline...

  • Wow! Many thanks for sharing these Cure videos.

  • What is that guitar?? Excelent sound!

  • @kamikazidive Fender Jazzmaster

  • @Lylodile Thank you so much! Try to find my band "Flood of tears",

  • @kamikazidive Will do dude.

  • @MrDaveKnave It seems that the extra pickup was borrowed from his previous guitar, a Woolworths "Top20".

  • to think, these guys were only 20-21 years old

  • wow

    

  • love your vid dude

  • its a beautiful live version!!! i love that era from the cure!!! sorry my english is not perfect!!! :)

  • The bass player is a Bad Ass............this is how the bass should be played!

    Great bass heavy band............great song.

  • Magic melody, it opens your mind and gives amazing felling. Thanks for time what was born The Cure...

  • This amazing music... It have so beautiful melody. I copyed this clip on my device Samsung Galaxy S 2.

  • Awesome

  • I love this song, all the early stuff from 80's is great ! Thx for posting !

  • 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.

  • woahhh

    this is a big shot

  • WOW O_O

    beautiful!

    great upload, just great

  • Simon my dear man, what's with the Hunchback of Notre Dame body posture!!?

  • 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

  • Thankyou even!!!

  • Scream!!!! I am so in love with this!!! Thakyou!!!

  • Incredible..I was 12 at this time....thanx for this rare video..

  • The 80s simply ruled!!!!

  • Aaaahh, thanks so much. I`ve waited for years for this to be uploaded. Exerpts of that concert are on the "staring at the sea" (beach?) video.

  • wow

    and there would be x100 more people few years later to see the cure in concert!

    cheers :)

  • wow this is amazing sound quality. one of my all-time fav cure songs. thank you!

  • This footage is amazing!!!! Best I've seen from this festival, awesome quality. Great Song!!! =Love the cure, my favorite=

  • 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.

  • really great quality - thanks!

  • Awesome quality. Thanks!

  • Very good quality. How did you manage to find this video?

  • @ajittffcure

    Trading is the only way to go for finding old gems.

  • Comment removed

  • @impressionofsounds This one was available via torrent a while ago, not only trading ;-)

  • brilliant...thanks...

    and inevitably...any chance of more footage from this gig?

  • Ok, I'll upload more soon.

  • @impressionofsounds thanks!

  • Great! This is only 25 km away from my home!

  • Merci Charlie!:)
