The Cure - The Caterpillar (Live in Japan 1984)

[nhadz16]

this performance only tells me that Robert is a very talented musician...he can play guitar, bass, keyboards and the violin!!! don't dare to tell me that Morissey is more talented than him!

[lnvaderLuna]

I think Roberts pretty drunk in this! ;D

HNNNGGGGG~ I LOVE HIM SO MUCH <3

[cachanilladiva]

I mean loooove!

[cachanilladiva]

Ooh I live Robert sooo much!

[chamanpelmaso]

¿Que se sentira ser tan chingon como el robert smith?

[Angrykitty19]

Robert is so adorable :)

[guitargczr699]

it's amazing to see how much they changed from 1979 to 1984.

and I'm just realizing that Robert at this time appears to be the inspiration for Tim Berton's Sweeney Todd character.

[alyshells]

If you look up dreamy in the dictionary a picture of robert with that bow in his hair is there.

[SiameseTwins14]

What an absolutely excellent song here!! So full of imagination and so creative!! A very exceptional song!! And I must say that Robert is such a doll here! This is one amazing concert!! I do so love The Cure!! <3

[michmeister2]

[happyjunkie09]

[JustLikeCockatoos]

This song just captures my heart and soul!! Such a sweetness in Robert's voice that just entrances me!! The Cure are wonderful! Thier music just feeds your soul!! The Cure forever!! ♥

[Ramonajunie3]

[theamericanpsycho79]

Robert Smith has the coolest hairstyle ever. period.

[Rockguitarhero462]

[xXBlaqkRavenXx]

When he drops the violin, haha. So cute. I still think he's attractive, my parents don't understand, haha.

[MansonNails]

I love his JF hair ;)

[oauidapogi]

that was the bad hair days... and that's one reason why the 80's ruled!

[CiliophoraEuplotes]

I aways wanted to see him playing violin and it's amazing!

[fteefn]

[takerele]

why does Robert's hand sliding up and down this violin make me feel wicked??? God I LOVE HIM TOO MUCH!!!!!

[joenik139]

Black drummer?!?

[gextvedde]

@joenik139 It's Andy Anderson. He was only with them for a short time & only apears on the album The Top.

[matt456781]

@joenik139 any problem??

[PrettyArtistic]

Why isn't this song played live more often? It's amazing...everything fits together so perfectly.

By the way, I wish Robert a happy 51st birthday...

[Robthewild1]

[Lambochopchop]

How does he do that with the violin! [I tried it, it's hard.] I love how he just drops it though~

[ratayska]

[darkforest121]

This song is so amazing and so clever!! I just love the different sound that this song puts off!! The Cure is a band that has truly stood the test of time. They have been rockin for 30 years now and their music still sounds so fresh today!! Robert has such a unique voice that just blends so perfectly with the sound and style of their music. Such an amazing and awesome band!! Rock on forever Cure!!

[AiyanaSP666]

i love his violin and i love his smile when he drops it :)

[jupitersjuju]

Robert... is so... awesome!

Simon.... :(

[TheTrocadero]

Koska sitäpaitsi Curen sivuilla ei juuri kukaan puhu suomea, täällä ei ole suomalaisia, koska kaikenmaailman aussit & brassit luulee, että The Cure on niin Rio'ta.. ja fuck.. The Cure on kylmää brittiläis-pohjoismaalaista jalkakäytävä-teatralisointia, jossa ei soiteta tyylittömästi lavanreunalta, vaan makuuhuoneiden hämärässä..

[TheTrocadero]

despairfaction138 I'll need The Collins Dictionary to find out what you mean by the adjective 'flawless'.. too english for me..??

[TheTrocadero]

Where is the original music video of this great beautiful sensitive song of The Cure?

[despairfaction138]

wow the vocals are flawless

[shuldiner1989]

hahahah when robert drops the violin, best part haha he does it so casually like a child with a toy, THE CURE RULES!

[KamillaNeeraas]

I _LOVE_ IT! <3

[AleReiiez]

robert its so cutee! :D

[thecureareamazing]

his hair is pretty amazing...

his smile is so lovely when he drops his violin!

Mary's a very lucky woman...

[Agresija0]

Yeah, that smile was unforgettable ;D

[MissRhia12]

@thecureareamazing You know, Rob wasn't married to Mary when they did this concert! He got married to her 4 years later. I'm jealous too.

[RachRomcorexx]

Im in love with his hair in this video

and he is soo cute hahah !

<3 Loves The cure

[RATMfan92]

Robert looks so f*cking cute at the end. Damn!

[bogartnoir]

he's so fucking high here. lord.

not the best here. and this vhs features the LEAST climactic version of 'the lovecats' evar. still though, if you're a cure fan you gotta watch it.

[vermulian]

Today's bands only have 1/1000 of his talent

[charleeeeey0127]

urgh i wish you people would stop rambling on about that kind of thing. you're clearly judging the bands you see in the top 20

[lafaesboy]

brilliant

and who the fuck cares about the line up? the music's what's important

[scurvy0123]

That is a truly bizarre Cure lineup.

[gugushigushi]

So cute!!! That ribbon!

[camsu2]

great, they're great live :D

[luisroque2008]

lo maximo!!!!!!

[guillotearce]

la mejor cancion de smith!! lejos!!!!

[est1770]

thanks for the video... thanks for the memory

[jjsrosie]

i bought the song on itunes and in the begining it has a secret message. It scared me. it said "someday she's gunna lose me" am i crazy? if you heard it please speak up!

[fleeperzonk]

You are not crazy, I hear it as well. from about 0:02-0:06

[tangkavah]

ur just crazy

[nintwiggy6491]

lmao

[nintwiggy6491]

ur just crazy

[AdolphusDuPorneia]

gorgeous song

[Gothiczartan]

robert smith if a beautiful powerful singing voice, he's the hero!

[Gothiczartan]

Robert Smith is my hero and yours too! that is out hero!

[GhostlyWays]

The Top is such an amazing album, it has become one of my favorites, there isn't a bad song there :)

[guadalajara1978]

no cabe duda que roberto es un gran genio cada rola es diferente no hay nota que se repite en sus rolas y eso es lo que me pasa por que todas las rolas tienen magia para oirse y gustarte. verdad.

[ajittffcure]

Love this performance. Robert's eccentrically mesmerising violin playing and vocals along with Lol's keyboard work just fits in perfectly for this song. At this time when I am typing the message, The Cure is playing their first gig in Japan after 23 years!In other words, it is their first gig after this very gig in 1984 that has been uploaded above. A historic day!

[Ombrenuit]

It's like he's using the violin to talk!

[emdiespock]

You're gay, Rachiebaby123. If you're not interested, don't watch.

[SpookOfHearts99]

Don't use gay as an insult!

What did gay people ever do to you?

:0

[JamesCanavanWagner]

Listen to Tolhurst play that keyboard. ^_^

[honchomanuel1996]

esa es la canciOn que me introdujo a the cure.

[mzee1972owen]

Such a joyously beautiful song. Loooove this live version. Delicious.

[meow3121]

haha he dropped it lol

[mehmehmehej]

why does he like spin that thing around?.the violin-y thing idk.

[mehmehmehej]

still good live.must be hard to say cata/flicka that much that fast.i cant.goshh.

[Michelrudo]

Yo creesi con estas rolas en Cancun cuando era niño !

[meow3121]

i love the way robert moves! love it.

[catsaregrey]

According to chainofflowers, Robert posted on the official Cure site in May 206 that there will be a "Live DVD boxset with Show, In Orange, Japan (?), and other surprise stuff." Robert's words, not mine.

[XQueenofScotsX]

IS THERE NO END TO THIS MANS TALENT?

[steffahincuredible]

I LOVE THIS!.. man its been like 25 years i love the cure and this song!

[joanmclo]

AMAZING!!! Is there any way we can get this cure in Japan in the U.K?

[lerchmand]

This is taken from ultra rare The Cure in Japan, distributed by Toshiba

[frankilyn]
