My favorite Cure song. My band Cinnamon Toast recorded "Piggy In The Mirror" for a Cure tribute CD called "Give Me The Cure", but this was our first choice.
Sadly, after MANY demo attempts, I decided I couldn't do it justice. But Robert Smith told me that the band loved our version of "Piggy."
I'm glad I didn't go thru with this one. I didn't have the angst necessary to pull this one off. This is beautiful. Thanks for posting.
Great performance and lineup right here of The Cure. I love this live performance of Give Me It, definitely has a heavy metal type influence with the guitars and hardcore drums. Andy Anderson was definitely a beast on the drums especially on this song. Porl's saxaphone part is very well added with great measure along with the drum solo at the end of the song.
@1000sachenmuell Porl's sax part was incredible on the "Concert" album and I've never heard another live version, in which he comes close to matching it.
he was laughing and smileing cause he started his guitar and the band didnt start and he was like oops forgot to say what the song is and introduce it he started without the band lol its funy BUT I LOVE IT
What an amazing song and performance! Everybody was good, especially Porl's saxophone playing. Nice to see Robert letting out a smile before the song started... I think something went wrong. Ha ha.
Sounds better live than the the recorded version....Andy Anderson was an underrated drummer

This drumming reportedly got drunk one night & threatened to kill the other band members.Long story short; he's not their drummer anymore.
One of the hardest Cure songs.I love it.Thanks for uploading this

@caryjudd That line makes me think of "Jodie" the purple pig, in The Amityville Horror. Jodie had red eyes too.
