Fire in cairo ~~at rock festival werchter 1981~~

[Fluidvirgo]

What is often overlooked is the fact that Tolhurst, though technically lacking, is really a very tight drummer! His unique style really fit the early sound of the band.

[TheEd0206]

Well, Cairo is on fire lately

[ihatecurehaters]

This is just plain awesome!! Robert looks amazing!! Wow!! Pure perfection!! ILY Robert!! The Cure forever and always!! :) ♥

[yonnii]

the cure were best 1978-1982

[alinktozelda]

@yonnii

you mean when they were on drugs (more so) and near death?

i agree completely

[ststephen909]

@yonnii Yes they were.

[suplavo]

So much better than the newer live versions...

[simionTheOne]

love the headband

come back to wechter some day :I

or just belgium ^^

[gnzvideos]

yep! Simon rocks!

but I also see that Lol is very steady and punchy.. better than jason in many moments...

[221133rd]

Teh secks. I love how they never play it the same way. They're just one of the best live bands, period!

[stephenp1968]

This song has some of the most sexually-explicit lyrics of any Cure song.  It's fantastic.

[thecurearethebest]

realy wow i never new

wait i dont get it how ??

but still i just love this song

[NLSpecialist88]

Simon Gallup is the best bassist ever

[TheOakWizard]

He definitely is a phenomenal bassist. Doesn't get nearly as much credit as he deserves. That might be what makes him so great, though.

[dano555666]

Totally agree.

[rcuilty1]

i agree, he is one of my fav bass players, he never gets enough credit for being a big part of the groove that the band has.

he is so good

[RcEdits]

@NLSpecialist88 john entwistle is better, but hes still good!

[jamintaylor]

@NLSpecialist88

EVER!!!

[MordaciousFilms]

@NLSpecialist88 As a bassist myself, I really admire him and his consistently excellent playing. He along with Mick Karn, some of the best bassists of new wave.

[NorthLakeWhisperer1]

@NLSpecialist88 Godlike genius.

[NorthLakeWhisperer1]

@NorthLakeWhisperer1 Godlike genius.

[Mstar82]

At Werchter Festival 1981 Robert looks the best.

Might be that his hair is longer but he didnt use lipstick back then, I wonder when he started using it.

Anyways, The Cure are so incredible creative, I love the time from 1980-1982 the most and many songs from the time from 1979 such as Grinding Halt, Jumping Someone Else's Train, Boys Don't Cry.

[intRzone]

Robert Smith started to use lipstick around Pornography era but seriously since Japanese whisper. Check out with the Glove too.

[emibug1996]

how beautiful you are, robert smith!

and simon too ;D

i love the cure♥

[BOYCOTTLETTERMAN]

rob looks like simon lebon here..

[nukemforkhigh]

love the cure!!!!fast fire in cairo

[HiwattGuitarsDDR]

I would love to hear a crisper audio track, but either way, this is a fantastic find.. and a great performance of a song from one of my all time favorite albums. I'm not really a Cure fan, but BDC is one of the best albums that anyone has ever made.

[greyagain]

a classic one!

i love it!

(Three Imaginary Boys-FOREVER)

[antonioflow27]

I like the way that Lol Tolhurst play the rotodrums

[garganchen95]

at the begining i thought robert smith was an indian dude lol

[yfset8]

holy shit i love it!

[dejean]

he looks like simon lebon!!!!

[JenJenEL]

Anoher classic from "Three Imaginary boys." Why is Robert wearing that absurd headband thing? Is he preparing for kamikaze? It looks pretty ridiculous..even for him.

[wisteria5]

God, no!

The headband is amazing!

[renagtz]

Hell yeah, it suits him well he look so hot in it!!!! =P

[rocknroll4everrr]

the 80s forever!!!!!

[MissMichaelJ]

he's ssssso hhhot. he looks different from the classic Rb Smith. is look with make up OMG like this kind of boy....... that's my ideal boy

[MissMichaelJ]

he's ssssso hhhot. he looks different from the classic Rb Smith. is look with make up OMG like this kind of boy....... that's my ideal boy

[Carlitaj83]

You are so ignorant! his make up and his air isn't gay... and if he is gay, what's the problem? his music is great!

[RansomII]

It's cool seeing Robert Smith without his gay hair and makeup. Early Cure is awesome.

[eclipse0000000000000]

his normal hair isn't gay on his head, and he has mascara on his eyes...

all cure is awesome, greath that they tour again finely i have seen them

[luciousblackwell]

robert looks hot as fuck!!!

[seesawtrace]

WHere can I find the whole concert on video?

Anyone?

[nam19771]

1:30 Love the choregraphy

[tapehissfromthetrees]

What IS that thing around his head?? haha

Either way, he is smokin hot as usual and it's an awesome song

[uncloser]

that thing from the sweat

[Ritsardo]

Robbert is drunk! Still getting his chords right, but the crisp sweetness of it is lost.

[petrosthecretan]

[bibathonn]

I love this song! I'm burning :)

[jaywantscandy]

Great performance of a fun song that's almost never played by the band anymore. Thanks!

[ajittffcure]

That's not true. I saw The Cure for the first time last year in Royal Albert Hall and they played 'Fire in Cairo' during one of the three encores. I remember singing 'F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O' along with Robert!
