the cure - untitled 1998

[TheCureMEP]

I simply adore land love this song. Used to go for a walk and listened to it, it's so nice. i adore Robert Smith, he cant be greater than he is

[TheCureMEP]

@TheCureMEP btw, i assume he must be making up the lyrics or saying whatever it comes to his mind, but he is great anyway lol

[gundestrakid]

Mr. Robert Smith, todo un personaje digno de alabar. Por eso es mi idolo!!!!!

[Lethesaa]

stop 0:55 lol

[liothecat]

Sooooooo lovely.

[FuckZEduck]

lol de lol !!!! awful !!! but so funny, i can't stop laughing !

[XxsilentninjaxX]

hahaha this version is awful. This is one of my favorite songs too! Maybe they just didn't care when it came to actually trying to make it sound like the original?

[JubeProductions]

even when you think the cure are headed for performance disaster, they somehow pull it off. simon was way too heavey on the bass, perry just fucks it up, robert not only forgets the lyrics completely but he proceeds to improvise his guitar parts which turn out to be brilliant. this is why i've been watching the cure live for almost 20 years now.

[Grayhatt]

lol wtf? I love this song...but...wtf?

[ApocalypseForFree]

He's completely drunk, he sings the wrong lyrics, and forget to play the guitar part before the voice entering the song

[mrpicky510]

Robert totally avoided playing the opening part on the fender VI, the song feels flat because of it

[HYPERJOHNBASS]

wow... watching me fall lyrics fit on untitled

[simionTheOne]

watching me fall

which would get a place on the album bloodflowers 2 years later

wow..

[NAMTRIP]

Nothing can ever hope to get near or ever compete with the CURE,It has no equal,nor will it ever,because it cannot, Theres Only one true GOD,only one you,only one me,Only one CURE.Unique,in its oneness, never to be duplicated,or substituted.

[Crisiib]

hahahah lol !! Second 0:53 Smith fall

[beforethree]

Roger O'Donnell is a great musician...

Never dream of you again :'(

[fmerighi]

I'm sure thats better than any "year song" at least for the last 10 years!

[Gangstaphlip]

boris should play the drums

[TheOwlking1996]

i think roberts drunk....he looks kinda dazed

[PaulProGuitar]

what are the lyrics?

or where can i find them?

the weird ones...

[The1ne07]

@PaulProGuitar

They're from a song called Watching Me Fall off the album Bloodflowers

[untrusted74]

OBSENE VERSION ! ... AND AWFUL SINGING ! :s

[Leitmotivation]

best version ever!

[jacknewton95]

jaja batos, andan bien locos! los weyes, todos fumados!

jaja

drogos!

[jacknewton95]

que pasa aqui?

Smith cambio toda la letra,

andaba todo drogado!

[huhtty]

dude robert fuckin rules i love how he gets high b4 the concerts lol

hes the man lol

oh and very good song

[tremoloman]

I don't think Robert changed the words on purpose. I think he was under the influence of something. At 2:03, look at his face... he has a look as if to say "shit... I'm singing the wrong song." The look on the keyboard player's face says it all as he shakes his head. Roberts playing is also way off.

I love Robert and The Cure but man this is NOT one of Robert's best performances but rather a great anti-drug commercial IMHO.

[dano555666]

Its obvious he did this on purpose

he made the lyrics fit the songs melody

but he is on somethign here

[lostdays]

im pretty sure he changed 'em on purpose. all the songs at this festival were played bizarrely, hence the name bizarre festival. :P

[kaskaritadplatano]

no manches, estaba bien ebrio... :(

[TheMosert]

estan todos locosssssssssssssss tiene mensajes subliminales

[DjPratzz]

uy que miedo!!  lo subliminal no existe, Tu mente lo crea todo.

[ikkirotalabab]

way better than the song of the year from that band coldplay.

[1972nike]

I love the original version of "Untitled" but also this mixture of "Watching me fall" plus "Untitled" is great. Are Bizarre Festivals still alive???

[Seiler823]

well they wrote the music for the bloodflowers album in 1999, this video was only one year before it...so it's likely that he already had the lyrics to some of the bloodflowers songs...you never know what they're gonna do on stage...

[Bobismi]

Untitled??? :) ,Watching Me Fall??? :D

[porfurafilia]

i love it

[greyagain]

i love him when he is doing this thing...

(changing the lyrics)

~*~

[shakeshakedogshake]

If he was drunk, why did he change the lyrics back on the second verse? I dunno, nobody knows with The Cure, thats why they are still the best band out there. Take Care. Its ok to disagree with me.

[hadaya60]

listen to the begiining lyrics : "I've been watching me fall for it seems like years"... doesn't that ring a bell ? Robert Smith is known for changing the lyrics of existing songs (I have so many versions of faith for example) and try out new lyrics which ultimately end up on another album

[shakeshakedogshake]

Hello, Robert is not wasted, this is from the bizarre festival-- They were supposed to play songs a bit different or out of sorts. Thats what's good about The Cure, their ability to change.

[maccatori]

hahaha.

He's plastered!

[BuggedSatelite]

These aren't the lyrics.

[cdlm1412]

ni una más pal robert, jajaja

[ejquezad]

What the?? That's funny! I love the original version of this song, this one just makes me laugh seeing Robert drunk or on drugs. Fun to watch!

[lissheim]

I think getting drunk or high right before a concert is really disrespectful to the audience, but what the hell, I love this band.

[Devilchrizzie]

even if he's drunk or high, who cares, he's a god

[uncobone71]

This is the encore mutha faka!!!!!!!!!

[ashtraygirl420420]

i'd take the vocal improvs from forever over these drunken ones! haha. still a good watch tho

[cesarcure]

jajaja the face of roger saying NO NO NO NO at the 1.05 jajajajaaja

Robert please never change!!!!

[GustavoGhianda]

que loco en esta version tien otra letra

[monoslokos]

This is one of my favorite live songs of The Cure. Really amazing, relaxing, emotional...etc..

[tremoloman]

I coudln't agree more with you!

[NYNYMatt]

I think the song sounds great here. There is so much honesty in this film and in his voice. So what if he is stoned or drunk

(looks more like stoned to me) it's still him. Vices and scabs and all, just like we all have. It's his humanity we want to see, and then overlay that amazing superhuman gift he has been granted all over it. I mean, every time we play or hear a Cure song, we are reminded of how incredibly special and talented he is, right? Here's to his humanity as well!

[Manilogos]

Read it as a gnostic prayer!

[gemsdomain]

One the best lovesongs, sad lovesongs ever written and performed, thank you for hosting this song.

[burnhollywoodburn]

C'est raté et c'est bien dommage, une si jolie chanson sur les lives de 89...

[assynipplechops]

I've looked up some info on this show, Google Bizzare Festival Cure and a site named "There is no if...", the guy said the first problem was the sound sucked throughout the entire festival, the audience was quiet and tired by the time the cure came out and Robert was noticably drunk and seemed to be aggitated by the crowd's lack of energy. I kinda got a good laugh at how bad they sounded and how drunk Smith was!

[plasticina79]

this video is on the 1998 and bloodflowers is on the 2000 so watching me fall is born here??

great robert smith drunk....i love more than i can say

[cesarcure]

This is from 1998 2 years before bloodflowers.

[djmillhaus]

i was there 1998,m definitly my fave version of untitled, saw the wdr broadcast shortly after the gig and when the lyrics to bloodflowers were posted on the internet i remebered the words he sang and was hoping the song "watching me fall" was gonna be as cool as this song, but wasn't in the end, but still cool anyhow. especially cool how he was lying on the satge during the break instead of going backstage, you can ee him stand up around 0:55 into the song ;-)

[cdlm1412]

and... the robert´s guitar?

[francoromanreyes]

I think it's my favourite live version of this song...very relaxing

[hlhr]

and yes, he either messed up or whatever, but different lyrics!

[hlhr]

WOW WOW WOW! AMAZING even after listening to it a bazillion times :D

[deadhouse]

Truly a bizarre performace, fitting for the festival. Robert does pick himself up from the floor, and seems to be in a major daze..thanks so much for posting this, the song is amazing anyway...

[luisssss]

esta exelente, pero creo que robert cambio la letra, mmmm quizas fueron las tantas drogas y alcohol!!!

[cdlm1412]

hasta se le olvida por partes como tocarla en la guitarra, ja, pero de todas formas es un rolón

[iloveyoufoo]

they still sound great to me!! :)

[Misterioso]

Lol. This is just a mess. Glad, those drug days are over. Looking forward to the new album in '07.

[INFINITYGOD]

Robert and the song might have been off beat a little. But he's still the shit !

[jovino]

i was there :)

[normanren]

heeey Robert esta Borracho o Drogado! y q importa! exelente video, ese detalle hace una presentacion UNICA!

[verosapphire]

wtf do you mean they sound horrible! It's not their fault the guitar wasn't working. Asshole.

[SeijiMuto]

wtf? They sound horrible!

Why are they detroying such a wonderful song!

[bluebutterbirds]

what's wrong with it? sounds great to me!

[missmatrix]

Well Robert is quite stoned here... look carefully and you will see him rise from the floor at the beginning... despite being wasted he manages to sing at the beginning the words that we were about to know 2 years later as Watching Me Fall
