I'm the age where I remember this first time round and it pisses me when they bring "Dad's Music" CDs out at Xmas.This is still better than anything out today.
This is a live performance!!!! So it's not gonna sound like the record. Have you ever been to a gig before? If you don't like it fuck off 'n' watch some over produced pop music video instead, nobhead!
Robert Smith stepped in after John McKay left after the infamous bust-up in an Aberdeen record store in 1979. He was with the Cure who were Siouxsie And The Banshees' support act and so played for both during the rest of that tour. Then when John mcGeoch became ill he rejoined the Banshees at the end of 1982 for a year or two when they recorded Hyaena.
Ok, I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure he was doing the two at some point? He's most definitely part of the Hyeana album and that wasn't til '84.... so I like to think he popped in now and again when others were being a little unreliable. You can hear his influence on Swimming Horses - quite beautifully.
It is Robert Smith on this clip, the cure were support band for this tour, and when band member s mckay and morris walked out at beginning, he stepped in as replacement guitarist!
I think Iknow what u mean.Iwent to india in jan.79 and came back in81 .I never knew.But the point I was making was that RSmith was the singer and guitarist from around 81 with the CURE and not with the banshees like modi said earlier.

would have thought the description "Live on 70's t.v show Something Else in 1979." would have been enough.

I'm pretty sure that's not Robert Smith. He joined the Banshees for a while around '84.
