  • who is the drummer here? not boris williams is it?

    & who is the keyboardist here ?

  • Drummer is Andy Anderson, ironically this was his last show, he was fired after this concert by Robert Smith because he got into a fight with security guards...so reports state. Vince Ely filled in up until Boris Williams joined in the tour later on.

    Lol Tolhurst and Porl Thompson are both playing keyboards in this track, Lol is the one with the curly dark hair.

  • This band and the band he had for the Disintegration tour are by far the best but the cool commitment he showed earlier on in his singing put this ahead of everything else.

  • TONIGHT!!!  i simply cannot wait for LA's Cure arrival... <3

  • @crtzmo Thanks for clearing it up for me. Damn those organizers! Has The Cure not been back there since?

  • @JaveDMode Blame the organizers -- Nakano Sun Plaza is a HORRIBLE venue for live music. Overstuffed, tiny seating, no concessions, etc (I saw Echo & The Bunnymen there in 1988). Given their popularity in Japan at that time, a more intimate venue/experience would have given fans what they came to see, Robert up close.. Its not a perfect comparison, but look at Cheap Trick tearing up the Budokan in 1978, or Weezer at Fuji Rock in 2009. Give people a proper place to have fun, and they'll have it.

  • What a different world Japan is. Barely any screams between songs, and such a uniform way of clapping at the end, but only at the very end, after the last note has been played. How strange. I like to be a part of lively audiences, I would hate to watch a concert there. And I think I would hate to perform there even more.

  • Love the drummer!!! So cool!!

  • esta rola esta poca madre

  • that drummer rocks...miles, miles better than JASON COOPER!!!

  • @njacd funnily enough, Lol was actually the one who made the drum beats for this song and he was the original drummer.

  • thanks, it sounds great ...quite different from lp.well...fascinating.always and forever ...discovered them with"friday im in love".then cure guided me through shifting years..that gave my shield.its energetic, full of power.love the basslines and the voice of Robert.

  • me gusta esta formacion suena muy bien
