I saw them at the Royal Antler (a pub in on Sydney's Northern Beaches) in 1981! I would have seen them in '80, we were there, but my mate was sunder 18 and they wouldn't let us in. Fortunately, they returned the following year. Faith was their latest album. One of the very best shows i ever saw.

Pure gem. Robert Smith and The CURE were near the beginning of the fame ! But their haunting sound and their unic style made them one of the greatest band ever ! I still do listen to their songs almost every single day. Never boring. They are genius.

In 1981 my girlfriend Orla and I danced slow to The Cure's fast songs - and fast to their slow songs - at the Trinity Ball in Dublin... Happiest night of my life! Passion, where would we be without it? :-D

THE CURE IS MY CURE

This was the beginning of the 80s, and we were young.

raw and simple. one of my fave Cure songs.

This song has it all: spacey minimalism, spiky post-punk, Hendrixy psychedelia, gritty punk...

Just as phenomenal now, as it was when I heard them for the first time in 81. Falling in love with the music all over again!

Robert Smith, Michael Dempsey and Lol Tolhurst , Three Imaginary Boys, I love this

This is real music man!!!! 1979 was a cool year for music debuts, this is one of them. The Drumming and Lead Guitar are out of this world. I was 18 when this blew my stoned brain to oblivion.

pure post-punk, yea

Seeing Robert in a tight shirt and that hairstyle makes me really want to go back in the late 70's ughh

Love the drumming and the splashing of the cymbals

what a baddass band, love the cure, they are the definition of real music, even tho this song doesnt say much i relate to it 100 percent, long live robert smith !!!

I love this video. Been looking for it for a while. So ace to see them as a three piece, stripped back, no frills, just a killer tune.

The simplicity of it all is what makes this song great. Guitar/Vocals Bass Drums. Three imaginary boys.

One of the best bands. Love the cure. And that guitar solo is awesome.

This is one of their best songs, and the guitar, gold!

wow, this brings back memories of a really good time when a new music era began. It's an awesome song

this music got me thru the first couple of yrs of boarding school in the very early 80s ive fuckin loved them ever since......proper legends

love the sound, guitar bass and drums, really cool and emotive. ... used to be a fan in the 80's , with Motorhead on the other side... Still perfect after 40 years.. talent, for sure!

Descubrí a The Cure a principios de los 80, en Sevilla (si, no solamente escuchábamos flamenquito en aquella época). Me fascinó tanto su música que me compré una cinta de cassete que reproducía una y otra vez sin cansarme de escucharla. Intenté adoptar la estética, pero en Sevilla en los años 80, si alguien te veía con pantalones a cuadros y el pelo engominado y desordenado lo más suave que te decían era "payaso". No había mucha gente en mi ciudad que estuviera interesado en esa música. Ah, que tiempos aquellos!!!

He wrote this at 16yr. at home drinking homemade beer feeling "morose" and listening to the faucet drip drip drip drip that's why the beginning cords are made to sound the same. N this is why they 1st got signed cuz of the drip drip drip drip....or so the story goes. Their still my 1st and last loves. From the cradle to the grave...i'm now in my 50's so yeah almost there.;)

les débuts : le meilleur !!!
