The thing is, even over 40 years later, it still sounds like it's music from the future. This period of The Cure was so ahead of its time we may never catch up. Audacious in the extreme. Kids creating the music of gods.

@@saintlacy: yes, it was awesome. I was an impressionable teenager who hadn't seen much live music yet -- end of the seventies, middle of the Netherlands, different times with just one record store in town to help you discover new music. What I especially remember is the strong soaring basslines on the mono synth they used -- I already was a synth-head back then, tried (! lol) to build my own monosynth when i was 15, played lots of Wakeman, Tomita and Tangerine Dream records, so hearing rather explosive synth-basses was cool and impressive as hell. Later when I bought the _17 seconds_ album, I was heavily disappointed that the synths on the album were nowhere near as present as they had been live. Stil my fave Cure album though -- somehow has stood the test of time afaic.

Exactly No ONE was playing ANY of these chords or these progressions at that time. NOT ANYWHERE.

Nah, they were continuing what Joy Division started - and then later found their own stride. I'm not here to be a contrarian. I could have said "sorry to break it to you" but it's never a bad thing to be better educated about what you love :) [was into it then, I'm 51 now] Siouxsie's music at the time paralleled The Cure's. Bauhaus was at it from another angle and a bit earler, too. Other than _Love Will Tear Us Apart,_ Siouxsie's _Hong Kong Garden_ was probably the most influential single in all of British Post-punk. With The Cure, _10:15__ or Fire In Cairo or Boys Don't Cry_ had some impact as singles, but the Cure's massive influence is more due to how their creativity manifest over several stages - over at least 10 years and many lineup, songwriting/style and sonic changes. The differences from TIB to Faith to TheTop to HOTD to KMKMKM are so many, that Smith and Lol were two of the only common denominators to be present in all of them. Ciao :)

This guy whose name was glen had this mid 70’s look complete with mustache and hairstyle similar to meathead from all in the family and he was a huge cure and violent femmes fan. Not goth or punk or new wave looking at all. I remember at that point realizing that you don’t have to look like the scene to be a part of it.

I love seeing those fans enjoying the show. European people peacefully enjoying music in their native land. Would such a thing be possible today? I doubt it. Too much "progress" has been forced on us. Too much has changed.

I liked The Cure since 1983 when a friend bring to my home a LP (property of his older brother) to play it in the home console, since then I am a loyal fan... I went to every concert than they played in Mexico, even in Monterrey city, it takes me 12 hours arrive there... last time this november in Mexico City !!!, and one before this, they played for around 4 hours !!!!

This is what happens when all the right elements find each other. Minimalist and perfect. One of my fave Cure eras. I got into them in '84. Saw them live for the first time five years after this was filmed.

A Big Fan since 1980! Robert you still sound so Great! Thank you for your great Music, ever. Hi from the Cali Desert.

The jam session starting at 10:30 - never knew the cure could go so rockabilly. Almost beach music that jam is.

I've known the big hits from The Cure for a long time (Friday I'm in love, boys don't cry, just like heaven, lovecats, close to me lovesong) for years, but only really delving into their discography as of today! Man this album from what i've heard is good. Mad to think that The Cure have been around for as long as they have, who knows maybe in a couple months they'll be my favourite band

I'm reading the most wonderful compliments and I almost 68 I didn't hear the cure until 1989 .At 37 years of age I has to ask myself why have I not been searching for those sound!! I WAS ,I just didn't know until I heard the cure that I had needed them .their sound. The sad innocence of the dark scarred southeast trying to get cold but . Too much for me the Cure Rock then The Cure rock now.

The young angry and hungry gorgeous Robert Smith knew exactly where he wanted to go : Fame all over the world. He believed in his own thoughts ans sounds ! He was right. Now he's a Legend. 40 years of career. At the top forever. Again and again and again and again !
