The Cure - Plainsong - Sydney Myspace Secret Show

[mickycisme]

I actually LOVE the way this version strips away the sugary synthy parts of the dream and stays with the other bits even when it hurts. The high guitar line that (almost) follows the lyrics is like another voice in itself, but the song it is singing is a little different from the song Robert is singing. The interplay between those two slightly different songs adds another dimension to an already awesome song. THIS is the definitive Plainsong, IMNSHO. Thanks for posting it, antoe123.

quite stunningg ........ :D

[slappy232323]

Agree they need keyboard player, just not the same

[JubeProductions]

@slappy232323 just because there are no keyboards doesn't mean it's bad......agree it's different, but not bad. if they recorded this version on the album, then you heard the version with keys would you complain?

kawałek wyjebany w kosmos

[mikhailpreda]

This is terrible without keyboards.

[skygirl77]

One of the most surreal things I have ever experienced. Then they played Disintegration after this and I cried.

How do you find out about secret shows???

[krazm1093]

you have to add secret shows as your friend, and they'll tell you when one near you is going on

[greenbot]

bloody love it :)))

[Vienya81]

Thank you sooo much for posting this video! It finally satisfied my curiosity on how Plainsong would sound like without keyboards. Must say I still prefer it with keys, it is fuller and more ethereal. But this still sounds amazing! I wish one day I'd get to hear it live, keys or no! New York, Robert??

[feversome]

oh my god a secret show.. in my own hometown while i was away... i saw them twice this tour, but not here... and not a secret show! where was it? im so jealous

[normanren]

Extraño muchisimo los teclados en Plainsong!!! no se escucha como debe ser! ya q! ni pexxxx

[sadpunk83]

that tone is from the ugly schecter guitar that robert decides to play i liked fenders he used to play

[maluflower]

They did Plainsong! Ah, you lucky Sydney people! And true about the synths, they're nice, but it's all about the guitar in this song. That's what gives me goosebumps and makes the tears run. Thanks so much for posting. =]

[beaujones1]

Great video, they did it better than on the festival dvd. But fuck off spammers!

[Gugaruz]

great version!

much better than on "festival 2005".

[Misterioso]

I always thought this song with keyboards sounded too thick and drowned out everything else in the song. Because of that reason it was always the track I skipped on "Disintegration". As I listen to it without the keyboard and even this far into The Cure's career it sounds excellent.

[sskkootteeddoogg]

Wow! Excellent quality! Did they allow cameras inside? This can't be a cell phone recording....the bass isn't distorted. I can't believe they actually pull this off w/o keyboards...it sounds intense!

[dirtyfighter34]

I love keyboards, but I have to admit, a different take on plainsong is cool, I hope to see it live in charlotte!

[girldisease]

I was there! It was amazing. I wish I had a camera. :(

[myshock23]

Listen to live version from Trilogy, and one from Festival 2005, Trilogy Live w/Roger on Keyboards, is the real deal, and quite powerful. This sounds trippy, more than powerful.

[myshock23]

Good, but better with keyboards live!

[21stCenturyCat]

my all time favourite Cure song, thanks for posting :)

[antoe123]

totally disagree... I think this performance highlights what a well written song it is.

[mettadata]

Plainsong without keyboards is just wrong...the richness and texture of the song is degraded.

[letsplaytwister]

this song really doesn't need keyboards, which i never thought i'd say. it's just a great great song with a great melody. it'd sound good played on kazoo.

[MCOhideaway]

Great Capture and sound

song is great without keyboards which i cant explain

hope you got more?

Hideaway

[Muldfeld]

Thanks!

[HaloCure]

Awesome. I would've cried like a baby if I was there. Thanks so much for posting this!

[artrush]

i was at this gig.. you can hear me say OH MAN when he announces the title. i found this song to be a completely religious experience. hypnotising.

[moe29]

Wow, thanks for sharing... wish i could have been there with you.

[myshock23]

Good version, although sounds like a Pink Floyd Psychedelic/trippy guitar song without the Keyboard

[disintegrator]

SOUNDS GREAT!!!!!! Better than expected...Porl improved his sloppiness thank god

[Damiano1337]

Great fucking show. I can't believe he played 'Just Like Heaven' for me! :D
