  • I always love this version of Pictures of You

  • if this doesn't move you, you are dead.

  • What is so awesome is that Robert Smith was born in 1959 !!! And he connects with so many people less than half his age. Pure Genius !!!

  • @Ronbo710 My son is 14 years old and loves his songs

  • "Pictures" is done so well by The Cure here, that you can tell you're seeing am excellent production...they make it look so easy. This video is certainly one of the truly great videos of all time.

  • Most likely one of the greatest songs ever. Perfect in its lyrics, backgrounds and tempo.  So soulful in its delivery. "Spot on" in everyway.

  • wtf ! fail

  • I would have been that weirdo in the audience balling my eyes out during this song...so pretty!

  • the fuckin video is the best.....the drummer just crankin the rhythm and the 2 guitars dancin around it.....the little nuances in pickin are fuckin superb......this is just pure puro.......

  • I soooo love this song *sigh*

  • nice to see bass players using the plectrum a dying art.

  • The most beautiful song of all time

  • great song, horribly wrong video.

  • 69990 :D

  • Sad days require The Cure...

  • emotions translated into music; so well done!, these guys need no cure

  • Just the intro makes me dream more then 90% rock songs....

  • @andydufresne87 EXACTLY !!! just a few tones.... and woooow !

  • Love, love love this song.

  • I love Robert Smith. With Ian gone, he is the very best lyricist that brings out the most inner thoughts of us all.R.I.P. Ian.

  • @ghostscantkill Who is Ian? Are you talking about the late Ian of New Order?

  • @Supersweetguy I was referring to Ian Curtis of Joy Division.

  • @ghostscantkill Sorry, the lead singer of Joy Division?

  • By far, Greater than the studio version! Performance of awesome magnitude!

  • geliebte Antje hüttermann,ich habe vor langer zeit den fehler meines Lebens gemacht,heute bereue ich es zutiefst!Werde mit niemandem glücklich....die Zeit mit dir war meine schönste zeit!In erinnerungDein damaliger freund Andi,ich lebe immer noch.....hätt ich nie gedacht,deshalb mein verhalten,tut mir sehr leid

  • i love his shoes, i want a pair

  • que re hijueputa cancion tan re chimba malparidos, esto es musica pirobos aprendan.

    this song is just pure genius.

  • Dat Bass VI sound.

  • I remember my lil brother who past away august 1990. I love to listen to this song and all of my memories of my brother comes back to me and I miss him. I am his older sister, who protected her lil brother from mean, unkind remarks. RIP George Romero

  • This is a great performance. I've been listening to it for months and I may even prefer it to the album version. I love the little smile Robert has on his face when the music changes right around 1:27.

  • Comment removed

  • I have been looking so long to find the actual version that i have been listening to. The sound of the bass guitar is one of my favorite. Good job boys

  • Everytime I listen to this song it makes me want to fall on love!

  • Ma chanson préféré, la seule qui quand je l'écoute me fais me sentir vraiment bien, vraiment moi .

  • God, I miss great music......

  • Wo und wann war das Konzert??? Welche DVD?

  • This is the best version of Pictures of You that I have ever heard. I like it so much I've been listening to it everyday for months on end now.

    The crowd in this concert is also very lively and attentive. I haven't found another live performance where the crowd cheers when the lights darken when Robert sings "You were always so lost in the dark" or when Robert whispers "My pictures of you."

  • @bluo88 i completely agree with u! been listening to this version for 6+months! fantastic sound and performance!

  • what an incredible piece of music.

  • Ultimate "goth" anthem... :-)

  • I love his words. <3

  • And thats not a guitar that he is playing, thats a fender bass vi.

  • <3 it sooooo much!

  • It's a fucking quiet amazing this song¡¡ It takes me to the space, I don't need drug to fly, just need this kind of music...

  • robert looks like the joker...

    sorry i mean the joker was faking robert!!!

  • That's an odd guitar, what is it?

  • @Commiteee it's a Fender Bass VI baritone guitar

  • shame they run an ad for glee in 3-D on here. Shouldn't even be on the same page. These guys are awesome, true artists.

  • The way this song reminds me of my gf is incredible we both had our first dance to this song lol we are both 20 and never danced before this song came along it's truly a magical song and really has more emotion than anything I've heard in a long time love it :)

  • Thank you for posting! GodLuvsUsWithThisSong.

  • THANKS ROBERT SMITH

  • just love this song, I remember when it was a commercial for HP printers

  • too cuuuuute , i'm gonna die

  • Nine persons had no camara

  • so f-ing beautiful!

  • damn, why didn't i ever listen the cure before?

  • @Aftershock2k10, there alot of bands that can't perform live honestly i've only seen a few pull it off and singer wise, yes alot of lead singers can't have a voice better than studio i can only think of a few, Robert Smith, Trent Reznor - N.I.N., Maynard James Keenan - Tool, Matthew Bellamy - Muse, Thom Yorke - Radiohead, just a few that can put up live performances so far above and beyond studio sound...........favorite song from these guys

  • The best song ever by the cure!!!

  • masterpiece

  • The Cure, gracias, thank you, obridago,danke, merci, grazie for your music

  • Fantastic!

  • never heard anything like that..

  • sehr schön

    

  • Best of scheibe .........yeah The Cure lebt.

  • pure pure class, some of the best Bass playing i think i have ever heard

  • that was one of the best 7 minutes of my life. it sucks when the person you like doesn't like you back. it really does.

    there was nothing in the world that i ever

    wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart

  • @956miggz no arguments from me

  • @956miggz so true, in the words of robert smith...i will always love you, no matter words or distance..

  • @956miggz beautiful ha! classic.....cure :)

  • I have to admit I was never a big cure fan, I'm a tried and true metalhead but my late fiance was a bigCure fan and after her passing this song always makes me think of her. I miss you Tasha. R.I.P. my Angel  I'm so glad I have the pictures........

  • @1974BigJay touching dude

  • Uno dei loro migliori pezzi...forse il migliore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • "Robert Schmidt"...,immer wieder geil!

    Große Stimme...

  • i'm an avid fan of British rock bands...(Queen, Led Zep, Smiths, Radiohead, Oasis...etc.) but none of them had brought tears in my eyes...only THE CURE...

  • pictures of u. one of my favorites.....

  • Reminds me of that person you loved a long time ago...that moment where you got to share something that part of yourself that no one else ever got to see & you were never ever able to share that part of yourself with anyone ever again...then you go through life still doing important things, good things & people still love you & care about you...but they don't know you...not like THIS.

  • @KurtRussell1963 you almost made me cry asshole.this is the worst period of my life.everything went to shit.my life is fucked.

  • @jotaro85 it can always be fixed

  • @KurtRussell1963

    Great comment, made me think about that special person...SUCKS

    

  • @dura1313 Hahahahahaha, just kidding. Sorry dude...

  • @KurtRussell1963 Music and love have in common that they are magical in the moment they are created. I recently attended the funeral of the mother of my first love from almost 30 years ago. We are both married, happily I might add, but we agreed that the butterflies were still there after all that time in texts a day later. You can't go back certainly, but a song can take you there just like it was yesterday.

  • @BNotAffraid I know what u mean...

  • @KurtRussell1963

    right right right

  • @srbird :)

  • @KurtRussell1963 yea my brother

  • great band, i like their love songs because they are not pathetic....

  • one of the few singers who sound as good as their tracks. also his voice has not changed in 20+ years, love them :)

  • Reminds me of someone...Probably among the top-5 pop songs ever written...

  • this song is fuckin epic....the live version just makes it sound better!!!

  • this has got to be the best love song of all time...except Just Like Heaven and Lovesong... :)

  • my soundtrack personal***

  • la mas hermosa de todas n_n!!!! exkizita!!! n_n!!

  • Great song!!

  • WOW!!!!!

  • Great performance in live. Anowaday, this kind of professionalism is so rare

  • is he really singing live?

  • i think Perry plays better than Roger...

  • but where's Robert's "tutututu"?

  • @GAGE1959 Alright thanks

  • Some pictures are to painful to look at ...

  • by far my favorite cure song of ALL time

  • there was nothing in the world, that i ever wanted more, than to never feel the breaking apart, of the music of THE CURE ...

  • what concert is this? when and where?

  • Fucking perfection performance. Absolute perfection.

  • i used to listened reggeaton,rap and stuff like that.I thought this was a piece of crap(i didnt liked rock at all).but when my dad and a friend make me listen to this song i was like "god shot me" but in the end i started to love this song and i said "this is what they call real music?" i now im listening to the cure,Depeche Mode, phil collins,red hot chilli peppers, A-ha and some others artists.And i am only 16 and i have no shame at all.

  • @christianb44 That's great. But don't stop going back in music time. Check out the 70's music also. You really need to listen to Led Zeppelin. Try the song " Ten Years Gone " it will change you. Also check out the movie " Almost Famous " Watch it with your dad. Cheers !

  • @christianb44 Happy for you. There are musicians that you should definitely dive deeply into that influenced modern music as we know it: Velvet Underground, Joy Division (now New Order), Pixies, etc, etc.

  • @SchwarzGelbBorussia Robert Smith could wear underwear on his head while he performed and I wouldn't care, the man is a genius.

  • That synth is feather soft like lush pillowy clouds, anyone know what it is?

  • Roland D70

  • goose bumps!!! so good :)

  • I Love this song, is a psychedelic trip through places that I never visited.

  • a TRUE ALL-TIME-FAVORITE !!!! Robert`s a GENIUS ...and HIGH on my list off musical `gods`..together with Richard Ashcroft , Paul Weller , Steve Marriott (R.I.P!) , Phil Lynott ( another R.I.P!!) etc.... people that have ENRICHED my life !! H A I L !!

  • @SchwarzGelbBorussia Meh, he's an artist. They are weird like that. You get over it after two seconds once you realized how amazing they are.

  • Epic, truly epic!! Thanks for posting:-)

  • this song is and always be one of the great ones . look and listen and you shall hear the love in this song

  • Mesmerizing and flawless...

  • DAMN!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO AND KUDOS TO YOU MR. ROBERT SMITH...HAIL TO THE CURE!!! LONG LIVE!!!--CARLO FROM THE PHILIPPINES

  • Stunning...

  • gives me goosebumps everytime!!

    

  • Love Love Love....seriously just a flash back, a stolen memory, a slight smile and a single tear!

  • There are songs which take you away for a few mins and give you a sense what it would feel like if there were a heaven. And there are songs that you listen to thousands of times and each time you listen to, you feel something that you have never felt before. Irrespective of the nature of person you are, for a moment it makes you feel to pause and reflect on the golden days of your childhood and your childhood loves. This song is and always will be at the top of the list of those songs!

  • @Torumoy

    this is my favourite song ever. Thank you for your spiritual words. i have listened this song thousands of time and every time gives me a great feeling. The way the guitar is playing...playing with my heart. Pictures of my heart and memory.

    Ive been a Cure fan sinds 1978 and visit about 30 times of there concert. always a great moment.

    Bastiaan

  • Just epic in every way, thanks for the memories

  • when and where was this concert?

  • @thebark4 This Concert was 1989 at The Palace in Auburn Hills Michigan, just North of Detroit. It was recorded for CD, recorded live for video (dvd now..lol). I was there with my brother and 2 friends. The show was amazing and I love this version of Pictures of You... I have been a Cure fan for 26 years.... the last time I saw them was 2004 in West Palm Beach when they started off their World Tour there... AMAZING... went way back old school at that concert...ie: LOVECATS.. amazing

  • FLAWLESS, this is one of the bests concerts ever...

  • ¿la canción que más veces he escuchado en mi vida?....mmmmm........ Pictures of you

  • "Disintegration" was a landmark work. When it came out it laid waste to all in it's path. Groups like Radiohead and Sigur Ros owe a lot to The Cure and this album.

  • @MrUndercoverblues are The Cure one of Radiohead's influences...???

  • @DizzyPuke it gave RH broader and more ambient scope in which to delve. The layers, the synths, the longer tunes, etc. RH also attributes sigur ros for this later on...

  • Wow Wow Wow. I remember falling in Love with This song. Which live concert is this from....

  • man, this was millions of light years better than the 2008 live version of this song...

  • just... magical

  • Impresionante video, y el sonido espectacular!!

  • Very good video and the sound is fantastic

  • My god the quality of this sound

  • You know, you hear all the time people saying how a singer's voice is better on the record than it is live. You never hear anyone say that a singer's voice is better live. Robert Smith is one of the singers. The recorded song is great and all, but this vocal performance here in this video is just simply magical.

  • @Aftershock2K10 Matt Bellamy, Billie Joe, Robert Smith. They're nearly the only ones that can sound better live lol

  • This is so good it doesn't even sound live

  • Amazing,simply beautiful Dark Romance and great harmony!

  • Still the best lineup, and performance

  • @mikhailpreda Yes, the best lineup and with a drummer, Boris, WHO CAN PLAY!!!

  • Dylan-MORON IN-an Alternative-Life!!!??? >(*U^)<

  • Robert is one sad god...

  • Great song!! Forever reminds me of my one true soulmate for whom pictures are all i have. AAF JCP xoxo

  • The Cure e da minha epoca, sensacional !!
