  • What show is this from? I'm trying to locate the audio from this show.

  • i miss the synths...

  • This is not the cure, I love the band but this would be "the puke", I'm sorry but this song needs the keyboards to be Plainsong, fortunately they play another time with Roger and Lol in the keyboards we hope that they will bring us a great tour with them. Not to "the puke", yes to "the cure"

  • Who else is going to the first Cure show of the Decade

    this month in Australia???

  • @RobertSmithDaveGahan

    In my dream! Can't wait for the DVD tho...... :)

  • this song is a true testament of how well put together this band is!

  • Comment removed

  • Plainsong without Roger is impossible

  • @claudioeyemou your right man, the keyboards bring a whole new level of atmosphere to their sound!

  • the Cure is always good. no favourites are possible for me. luv them.

  • great song, great video. Here we go with gripes about Jason. Boris left the group in 1993. Jason has been with The Cure since 1995. He is not new, he is not weak, gawd.

  • Total crap without keyboards. Some songs just dont need to be on the setlist without keys.

  • @asuato I felt the exact opposite, when I saw them on this tour (Toronto) I was blown away, specifically at how they could do Plainsong without keyboards. This is a talented bunch of performers. And no one will argue about the songwriting.

  • Most amazing intro ever, from the best album of all time "Disintegration"

  • Esta version fue grabada en Valencia, yo fui a ese concierto...lo mejor que he tenido la oportunidad de escuchar en mi vida...aun se me pone la piel de gallina al recordarlo

  • I love this version with the guitar, it's so haunting.

  • This is the best band of all time,I love the cure,Ive never heard music that makes me feel like this does,never,The best,for all eternity.

  • And then you smiled for a second.

  • what an epic song

  • MY BOYFRIEND LOVE THE CURE... HE´S A FAN OF THEM SINCE HE´S 14, NOW HE´S 35... LONG TIME AND THEY ARE STILL MAKING MUSIC... RESPECT!! GREAT SONG

  • I am so glad this song is captured live with Porl's grindy guitar!!!! I absolutely LOVE this version as opposed to the original now! It sounds awesome on vid - but multiply it by 1000 and that's how good it is LIVE!!!! With it SO LOUD!!! The music completely envelopes you and carries you to another level!!! (No I do not do drugs!!) :)

  • Class this song...

    drums never really sound good on tv... bet this was a million times better if you were there

  • the initial guitar riff with the guitar robert smith

  • Such a powerful song, one of my favourites from the Disintegration album but Robert needs to get someone to do the keyboards...

  • @kimjune4430 Yes, like me for example ;-)

  • This is actually good, though the intro sounds a bit empty. Having only Porl on lead at the intro was really lame, but it get's better.

  • Did he dry his hair with a lawnmower?

    (TheCure rulez btw)

  • hahaha i wake up to this face everymorning! my wife's makeup runs, her hair gets in knots! i always tell her "Robert Smith! an autograph!?" haha LOL cheers! i concur - the Cure f'ing rules!

  • I'm a cure fan from awhile back...and I think this is pretty cool. I haven't been that keen on the new stuff but I think Jason is a great drummer. He's more of a rock guy, but he's rock solid in his timing. Everything changes...and that's a good thing. Great song by the way!

  • @clintnio his timing is thanks to the metronome in his ears. jason tries hard but is not good enough for the cure :(

  • This is fucking sad how bad they sound here :( I really like and admire The Cure but without keyboard it's just not the same. Please Robert stop playing "rock" music and start playing "The Cure" music.

  • fuck

  • Not as good without synth, in my opionion. This is good, but not great, reminds me of Pink Floyd with Porl Playing all these lead parts with synth. And not too impressed with either Pink Floyd, or the new guitar, 4 piece take on the Cure songs. Bring back Roger...

  • And Perry! :)

  • Yeah this guitar version sounds incredible. I couldn't decide which one is better though. The synth version is obviously the original, but I reckon both sound equally amazing.

  • i mean live the cure can do no wrong in my opinion. i just wish that they could find a keyboard player, it just really makes alot of the songs. plainsong deff being 1 of the big synth songs

  • Love this song, so re so happy to find it))) 3rd cure song to love, think I love it most, I like many others, This one is specai 4sure!!!

  • Robert you are the God of music!

    you are Apollo!

  • wow... I have to said that I like this "only gutars" version... anyway, not the same in other songs... but I like this one... :)

  • The drums SUCK!!!!

    jason cooper is just a lucky amateur who got along well with Robert. THATs IT!

    COMPARE THIS STUPID CHEAP SOUND WITH ANY BOOTLEG OR RECORDING MADE BY BORIS WILLIAMS.

    Jason has no personality and is just Robert´s YES-MAN.

    Boris was a musician who could think by himself!

  • Okay, first of all - Shut up. Boris Williams was a great drummer, but he relied on basic rhythms a bit too much. Listen to "Jupiter Crash", and then to "Ocean" and "Out of this World", as well as "Us and Them". You'll see that Jason isn't sticking to the same basic beat throughout the song, but is constantly changing and making the drums sound fresh. The reason Plainsong sounds so bad here is because there is no booming snare or low end Keys. That's all. Get your facts right before you spam

  • FYI, Jupiter Crash was demoed by Boris. He recorded it and Jason just copied it.

    Has Jason created a memorable intro like In Between days, WCIBY, etc? or long great patterns like Last Dance?

    What Jason does -and you agree- is change the pattern and play whatever comes to his mind at the time. No order, no creativity, no good sound. Sadly that's Jason's characteristics. He sounded better in 1995. After that he declined more and more and more.

  • That's just not true. Boris had long since left the band before demos for WMS were recording, because Robert was stuck in that legal battle with Lol. Jupiter Crash was entirely Jason. It's not even Boris' style of playing.

    Boris is gone, get over it. Jason is a great drummer, he just needs a better choice in drum kits (and for the band to get a bloody keyboardist!)

  • Sorry but if you don't know the truth then please dont try to discredit me!

    This is from an interview of SEPTEMBER 1994!

    What sort of direction is the new material going in?

    it's a very strange mixture. Probably my favourite 2 or 3 songs are quite 'accousticy': brushes, accoustic guitar, strings...

    WMS is mostly brushes, accoustic guits & strings. SO? what do you say now? Jupiter Crash style is BORIS'. That repetitive long patterns are Boris' style. Jason is "constantly changing" as u said.

  • Comment removed

  • where was this concert held?

  • The Cure are just something beyond this planet... Out Of This World

  • oh yes.

  • This is my Favorite band of all times,sure I like others,I like them a lot,but The cure is the best Ive ever seen or heard,period.

  • @ApocalypseForFree Agree on the keyboard thing... what are we gonna do... :(

  • @jamintaylor I totally agree. Jason Cooper has proven himself far more than enough and he totally deserves our respect, the same way Robert respects him.

  • holy shit, this is amazing

  • The drums are shit on this song, and most of the tunes without keyboard sound empty. Robert should put someone to play keyboard, specially on this song.

  • I don't see why everyone dislikes Jason Cooper. He is a perfectly capable drummer and has been with the band for long enough to earn some respect. He's got Roberts respect otherwise he wouldn't be in the band. I'm sick of all the negativity being thrown his way.

  • love it

  • wonderful song...i like it!:)

  • Jason cooper en realidad como haces extrañar al gran boris williams lenteas todas las canciones y las malogras.

  • Woo Hoo! Great!

  • i zawsze te lzy gdy to graja.....to jest piekne....

  • ajkajkakjjka

    Robert Smith pareciera que recién se viene levantando de la cama.

  • The Cure sin teclados me produce una sensación de insatisfacción.

  • Estoy con thecureaol, vamos a disfrutar de ellos, y espero que esta nueva etapa tarde mucho en pasar. Robert, no te jubiles hasta los 70 años :), y sigue haciendo lo que sabes, por favor. Sois el único grupo al que compro los CDs originales, y como yo, mucha gente.

  • no me gusta ver a Robert tocando la guitarra en este tema, que vuelvan los teclados!!!!

  • Pues a mí me siguen fascinando...denotan gran madurez musical.

  • obvio ke tienen madurez, ya van 30 años en esto ... pero creo ke con teclados es mejor.

  • Yo también echo de menos los teclados, no te creas :)...pero este concierto en Valencia fue fantástico y me quedé con eso.

    Saludos desde Valencia

  • yo creo que "cut" no la puede tocar

    ¿en que recital del 95' hasta ahora la tocaron!?

  • smith está en los 50, thompson pasa de los 50, boris no regresará el se ha dedicado a su esposa y a su organización benefica, pero hechale ganas, jason no es tan malo después de todo. En el DVD de trilogy le hizo arreglos espectaculares a muchas canciones.

  • en verdad jason suena horrible. necesita un mejor drum tech. y the cure necesita otro baterista

  • (L)

  • los quiero en puerto rico y que feo se escucha esa bateria..

  • Simplemente, geniales.

  • perhaps i may look a litle stupid to repeat it but theu need keyboards back. ii´d like to hear "homesick" again and i don´t thin Porl could do it with a guitar.

  • I agree!! awesome footage.. So good Porl is back!!..and the drums are very weak. I wish boris williams was with the cure still. there are lots of live songs that are not the same anymore...

  • @amf7755 all of them! 

  • @amf7755 but still plenty of boris vidoes to go around :P

  • La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias de Valencia (España), brilló esa noche con The Cure...Mangnífico concierto.

  • just PERFECT !

    as every Cure opening...

  • oh, oh spidy, if i had ur adress i would send u handkerchiefs ....

    heulsuse !!

  • The sound of the drums are not right! they sound weak! and keyboards are needed.

    In 1995 with Jason joining the band the debacle of The Cure began.

    Since 1992 they don´t get a good song for all to remember like Just Like Heaven, Boys, Fascination, Why Can´t, Catch, etc. too sad to be true...

  • i kinda agree, the drums are to weak, but bloodflowers was an amazing album

  • i love the video. Especially the way it started.

  • Beautiful song. The Cure rocks.

  • best opener for a live concert EVER . . .

  • Beautiful!!!

  • The cure are so beautiful its untrue

  • great opening i remember that song in mexico city!!!!!!!!; just amazing!!!!!!!

  • Dios mio despues de mas de dos decadas suenan exactamente igual, la misma voz definitivamente el mejor grupo de la historia

  • si, el mejor... los vi el viernes 13 de junio en Ft Lauderdale abriendo asi igual y fue de los momentos mas intensos de mi vida...

    Saludos

  • i know man cause he left recently and he came back bald...

  • lo...do you think he came back for hair regrowth!?

  • ...still i like the old version better :( we need more keyboards in this song.

  • He is the former guitarist, and their actual too :p, but he left "easy cure" because he didn't like the way the music was taking form (kind of minimalist music, and he didn't like that).

  • you dont know him??? its their former guitarist.

  • More respect to the bald person, dude. He is a great guitar player and maybe he's not bald because the wants to, you know?

  • the bald person is porl thompson, a longtime member of the band, and one of the greatest guitarists in the UK, at least. he left the cure in the early 90's to play with robert plant and jimmy page of led zeppelin, but returned. its nice to know someone else think he handles his baldness pretty well XD

  • But he didn't left the band because of that...i understand he left it for forming a family, and then joined the zeppelinists...

  • semplicemente fantastica

  • Fantastica a dir poco mamma mia!!

  • my favorite cure song put so simply (plainsong) - i cant resist any version - none can imitate

  • I don't understand what robert is playing...it doesn't sound or anything, and he looks like he is just playing with the guitar like a kid haha :)

    Love them

  • he is using an effect to mimic what would of been the keyboard part

  • It sounds like that, but if you know about effects and guitar...you notice that he is not even picking the strings, and the keyboard part is played somewhere else in the backstage by an unknown guy, thats what I suppose

  • that is incorrect. he is picking the strings but letting them ring. the same as it was on the festival 2005 DVD. I HATE this song now without keyboards. Don't get me wrong, I love the song, just not this way.

    And if the keys are there, they are part of the pre-recorded backing tracks they have been using for years.

  • Yes, they are backing tracks, and i do not like the 2005 festival version of this song...it is not perfect, as the original version.

    And nooo... he is not picking the strings..look at both hands, you can really he hes not picking anything :P haha.

    and don't get me wrong neither!! I LOVE THEM!

  • he IS picking the strings. Not overly strumming them, but very lightly. The festival version of this song,he is hitting them harder, which makes it sound more like shite.. I just think that it is a little tighter by now, after them having to listen to that godawful version of it.

  • if you hate this song now, you are a FUCKING MORON. Go see them live with the guitar playing the synth parts, stop bitching, it sounds AMAZING LIVE!! Stick to britney spears u loser.

  • fuck off. I've been a cure fan since 1987. I retain my right to not like something, ummkay? And why would I, or anyone else, listen to Mama Hobag???

    And I was at the Cleveland show. They didn't play it there, but they played Charlotte Sometimes, and all I can say is some songs NEED keys.

  • plainsong definately sounds better with keys. its a fact. the cures new sound is not as good as their old one. sorry. they still rule tho.

  • Porl is playing the lead keyboard bit, Simon and Jason doing their usual bits and Robert is playing the "chords" on a 6 string bass (Y)

  • Absoluetly beautiful. I remember just before Festival 2005 was released I came across the keyless version of this song and it brought me to tears. I thought that without Roger the band would struggle on stage.. how wrong I was.

  • amazing song.

    I remember at wembley this year this was the opening song and when it started my heart stopped for a perfect second. It was the most amazing opening song and that moment was the best of my life. I seriously wanna walk down the isle to this song.

  • Plainsong is just one of those songs that just little by little grows on you. One of my favorites from Disintegration. It makes the world seem so clear :]

  • Where was this filmed? It's an odd looking venue.

  • In a lake they got all the water out of :P or something like that.

  • God they're good.

    Still.

    Brilliant.

  • now this song sounds perfect again... the keyboards make it perfect...

  • the keyboardless version of this song has been growing on me for quite some time now, i love it!

    thanks for posting this song with all the other material!

  • this song makes me cream

    or maybe not

    but i do love it very much

  • excellent, thanx for posting.
