Extraordinary performace shown right here. The Cure hands down is definitely one of my all time favorite bands. I love this version of 100 Years, this is straight up raw and grimy right here. Robert Smith gets down on the guitar and Andy Anderson is killing it on the drums. This version of 100 years has that haunting surreal feeling to it where you feel like everything dark and haunting is gonna close in on you lol. Im still amused and impressed to know that The Cure had a brotha with them 2.
@artemusprine Yeah, you're definitely right about that. Andy Anderson was a beast on the drums during his time with The Cure despite his shortcomings leading up to his departure. He also spoke of an incident where Robert and the band being asked backstage for an Interview before a gig in Germany, whether the reason for having a black guy in the band was to do with the fact they mainly wore black clothes. Disgusted, Robert and the band abruptly ended the interview and left after hearing that.
who's on bass for this???!!I know Phil Thornally came in around this time after Simon but... is that him? Looks like someone standing in, like a roadie!
@version150 The guy on bass is Norman Fisher-Jones, he did a couple of shows with them i think. He now goes by the name Noko and plays guitar in the reformed lineup of Magazine!
Well, this is not Norman Fisher-Jones but Derek Thompson of SPK:
"After leaving SPK, Thompson had done a very brief stint with the Cure (a position he got after apparently meeting Robert Smith in a bar who apparently asked him what colour was his bass guitar and Derek replied 'Black'). He only played one show with The Cure, which was The Oxford Road Show in April, 1983 and later appeared on the writing credits of the Lullaby CDV and the Pictures Of You 12"."
@mistrzpoledvica For those who think, Phil Thornalley's bass man.... He isn't!!! He was in Australia producing...
So the man bass for this LAST time was Norman Fisher Jones.
Norman Fisher Jones played with The Cure 3 times during January - February 84... Munchen, Alabama Halle, Kid Jensen Session, BBC radio and Manchester, Oxford Road Show TV
I just love this song from The Cure. It has such a dark and haunting sound to it. Such a magical feel to it as well. I have loved The Cure and Robert for 24 years now and I know i always will!! What a phenomenal band with such a timeless sound to all their songs. No one can touch The Cure!! They are their own for sure!! poetic genius indeed. The Cure Forever!! <3
since no one has answered these comments i guess i will Lol Laurence Tolhurst left the band and sued for royaltys as did their drummer Andy Anderson i duno why it had to end in Court but yeah but 83 was a PRIME LETHAL TIME
Not as good as the Cure track 'Just one kiss' for me. Could anyone post a video for 'Just one kiss' as I am surprised to find that it is not already on youtube? Many thanks.
i will try to upload a "jus one kiss version", the peel session version. The thing is that i have it in an old tape. It came with a great "lament "live version back in 1983.
Thanks Vilchiscure. It would be wonderful if you were able to especially if it is the Peel session. I know that this particular song is a favourite of many Cure fans. It is also the 'missing link' on my Youtube Cure playlist.(!)
@nephcure1988 the reports were that A Anderson went a bit bonkers on tour... they had to lock him in his hotel room? Something like that. I saw them in 84 with him on drums and after seeing the 'real' Cure with Lol on drums (in 81), it was horrendous. Like a tribute band. the preceding period with the Glove, Banshees and general partying had burnt Robert, never the same again.
@version150 bonkers? it was because they were tripping on magic mushroom tea almost all the time along with alcohol and other drugs, the guy evidently destroyed a hotel room and was freaking out in general
I had this on video but lost it 18 years ago!!! This is my favourite Cure song and this is my favourite version of it. It's raw and gritty the way the song was meant to sound, beats the album version by miles. Thanks for posting. Still can't believe i got to see it again. :-)
now this is creepy to see. I'd heard about this appearance for years but to finally see it. Stuff from 1983 is pretty hard to come by. talk about an identity crisis....
Derek Thompson later became Hoodlum Priest, a really great musician. Apparently he only got the job as bassist because he told Robert his Bass was black!
god !! is this *another one* where he mucks up - he never mucks up in any *other* era, but when he does in this era, he like totally does and not just a bit lol
I am glad that I grew up listening to "The cure". Very few bands know how to write songs with true feelings like them ! I even love the faster version of this song.
"originally this was a promo for let's go to bed, and we were supposed to do songs from let's go to bed, but at the last minute we changed it and did songs from pornography, much to everyone's horror".

Hm I really want to hear Just One Kiss as I read that Smith wanted to have that song instead Let's Go To Bed as a single.
But oh well, the pornography album is like a true masterpeace and it's so unique.
This song just represents the whole album the best I think. The psychedelic sound at the beginning.. I love it so much!
