The Cure - Seventeen Seconds Forever (Live 1980)

[janochik]

scheiß frisur

[2dogarage]

@grimmyabreak I've seen them both in concert and there's no comparison sorry. If the Cure's avante garde style leaves you cold then you may be suffering from a deficiency of artistic depth, talented or not the Cranberries broke zero new ground. If I'm mistaken perhaps you'll leave a link to one of their masterpieces?

Everyone is entitled to their own mediocre taste in music, in fact I'd say the majority of pop fans are thus afflicted. Sorry about that.

[petejt]

I love this- the song, the performance, and that Electric Mistress flanger into the Roland Jazz Chorus amp played by Robert Smith

[hayzeephantayzee]

Lol Tolhurst best drummer ever for the Cure and the world.

I so love this song!! It is so deep and haunting. Takes me to a different place and time. This song just gets deep into your soul!! I love Robert's mesmerizing voice in this song. So hauntingly gorgeous!! I have loved The Cure for 27 years now and they have never ceased to amaze me with the beauty of their songs and melodies! What a truly phenomenal band!! And Robert is just gorgeous!! He is a true poetic genuis indeed!! And so amazing in every aspect!! ILY Robert!! ♥ The Cure forever!! :))

[halfcabdisaster7]

This song is astronomical in its ability to haunt me. I wish I could live in this song, and keep it going and going and going.

[edieshock13]

[edieshock13]

it's just a phaser

[Rossoxo65]

Fantastic!!!, Thanks.

[MrRockalpalo]

can anyone tell me what is the effect of the guitar? i want to buy that one

[Phyle9]

@MrRockalpalo

Seems a phaser to me... or a flanger

[MrRockalpalo]

@Phyle9 Thank you very much..it's a flanger

[Whalefin1]

@Phyle9 Definitly a flanger. Smith and Gallup have always been very fond of it.

[heavydutydudes]

freshly squashed fly

[heardysaygood]

[asturianone]

[redgruntlefurieux]

like 2dogarage says it never ends.

[TheMorandiniPaola]

Anche se c'è, come fermo immagine, é presente una foto, dal vivo, di Robert, la canzone é sempre bellissima!!!! ..poi dal vivo é suggestiva.

[darkforest121]

Such a wonderful song with such a nice melody that just blends so well with Robert's unique voice. very calming and soothing. The Cure is a band that has truly stood the test of time. Such an amazing and awesome band!! Rock on forever Cure!!

[greyagain]

FOREVER

;)

[borislych]

...and ever...and ever.

[NLSpecialist88]

79-85 is my favorite Cure era...Head on the Door was thier last great record imo

[greyagain]

what about Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me ?

I think you have to listen to it for once more.

So many songs in it.for sure.

;)

[TheTobyjamesdawson]

@greyagain Lots of great tracks on Kiss me...the kiss, snakepit, like cockatoos, if only tonight we could sleep to nake a few. disintegration was also immense but seventeen seconds, pornography and faith are my faves. Can hardly stand their new stuff which is a shame

[zelgerius77]

The cure in 80's was DAMN awesome, Absolutly amazing. Unique songs, musics with 8~10 minutes, great atmosphere.. Damn it, thank for share this song.

[saturninoquispe]

muy buent tema saludos a todo el mundo desde CUsco PerU...OKEY

[simionTheOne]

hha werchter is echt de shit :D

belgie ftw

[TheAtheistSwede]

"Forever" is probably one of the best song ever written.

[ClaudeSpeed1990]

kind of a wierd statement since 'Forever' does not have a definite form and is mostly improvisation.

[mrmonkeyisland1]

Total legend. I love The Cure so much. One of the best bands ever.

[Mstar82]

wow this is the only live version of Seventeen Seconds in the time it was 'new' (1980) I've found.

I really like it! The Cure are gods!

[1965raj]

The Cranberries are music for office workers. The Cure go way beyond this.

[suikitnik]

Thx to Robert, his songs helped me so many times ...

[rodizlike]

@suikitnik

I concur

[fmsoto1]

Thank you!!!!!!! Best version For-ever!!

[bobbydibobby]

I have been to 14 concerts - but the first time they played FOREVER was in Radio City Music Hall last year.. damn it was very intense and what a way to close a show!

[caitlinniamh]

every day will be a friday for now on!!!! That was bloody fantastic-best version of forever Ive heard so far!!!! Love you Robert!!!!

[Sixalienasa]

THe Cure ' ARE ' the best.

The Cranberries ' ARE ' Irish.

[xplodngboy]

Not bad at, all actually I love it. THANKS for posting

[greyagain]

great version of 'forever'

[kviatoo]

The Cranberries is Irish

[xplodngboy]

Cranberries can not be placed in the same level as THE CURE. The Cure are at a level on their own.

[2dogarage]

The Cranberries and the Cure together in one comment? The world is surely coming to an end. The Cranberries were a hiccup, the Cure is an orgasm that never ends.

[greyagain]

Haha!

You rule mate!

;)

[TheMonsterXavier]

@2dogarage haha well put man!

[MajestiPrawn]

[duarius]

17 seconds is their best work ever.. i'm going to kill myself over this record someday..

[BritishLadyTea]

hope u dont!

the planet needs you!

[litalearthquakes]

Your taste in music alone makes your life worth sparing.

[Sixalienasa]

I was walking down the Kings Road, in Chelsea, London, in 1984 one sunny day, when an open topped MG passed along the road and the driver was listening to 17 Seconds. Thats when I first heard the track, and I was immediately drawn to it, I still love it.

[2degucitas]

good memory to have

[SpookiebolCurelover]

How did you find out what song it was and who it was from..??
