how silly they must feel not playing live and just standing there

[mudman1881]

You've tagged it HQ when this is possibly the worst sound quality of all the versions of this song!!!

[RottenDoctorGonzo]

I like this version of the Beatles's classic.

Robert Smith looks pretty darn bored there. Definitely don't blame him. Playing the guitar with his hand positioned upside down was a nice touch.

@bibsteenson The Guitarist on the right? yeah... looks a little flaky. I give him a month! lol

@crabbieappleton...UK-tour,but not in the band during the next EUROPE-tour.because he´s getting back his interests to keep the cure alive and to work on the new album "the top".so he left siouxsie and the banshees i think at may´84 to push the cure on the next level.but siouxsie was not amused about that.

but both bands had big hits with "dear prudence"&"let´s go to bed".hope i could help to answer your question.greetings

@crabbieappleton robert smith was with the cure in the charts ´83 with the "7inch single "let´s go to bed" and also guest at top of the pops.siouxsie was searching for a guitar-player and robert smith was with siouxsie and the banshees on their next world-tour on board.at the beginning of ´84 smith was working on the new the cure album "the top",but also involved into the works to siouxsie&the banshees new album "hyena".and it was too much for him.and he tolds siouxsie to play with them the

[crabbieappleton]

Is this Robert Smith of the Cure or Robert Smith of Siouxsie and the Banshees? I'm too lazy to look up when he was part of their line-up.

@aeronuk1 You've obviously got shit in your ears, it's good but nowhere near far superior.

[akissintheraindream]

Lol, she stops lip-syncing at one point and Roberts playing the guitar upside down.

@Kaneownzu I wish that had been the case. I listened to the Banshees in the '80s. However, most people in the US were listening to Hall and Oats, Lionel Ritchie, Phil Collins and Madonna. Other than Billy Idol, and some of the early American punk groups like Blondie, few of the 70s punkers had much impact on the charts in the 80s.
