That drumming on my favorite song!! 🎵 “All Cats Are Grey” 🐈‍⬛

This is The Cure that knocks me out!! The Dark Trio. The first three albums are incredible.. Stand up still after all the years..as good as the later stuff is, it's pretty much RSmith and Co. This took the three of them to pull off these songs,in most cases, better than the studio version... Lightning in a Bottle!!!

17 through Po** are the best for sure. We can't dismiss tracks like 10:15, 3IB, Another Day, those are the ground work to their classic sound. I'm counting 25-27 songs around that pre-17 era, there's undoubtedly a great album in there...

@@captainfeedback1 Agreed. I have a funny feeling OP may have been thinking of S.S., Faith and P.

This version of the Cure is just life enhancing . As good a joy division at their best I suggest. And then along came lovecats. I lose the will to live if I ever hear it. Right up there with happy talk by Capt sensible or the absolute crime against humanity that is Mull of kintyre. I had the good fortune to see the cure and Siouxie and the Babshees on the same bill in Belfast. The night Robert Smith stood in for Steven Severin as the Banshees fell apart . It was probably the best gig I ever saw.

I like both versions of the cure. They still play their old songs live. Why make the same album forever? You can always play the old songs to people

If the Beatles have a dark brother, The Cure would be it. So good, it almost hurts!!

This was performed at the Capitol Theatre, near Central Station, Sydney. The picturesque theatre would have been perfectly atmospheric for Faith and Seventeen Seconds performances.

I used to have a cd bootleg of the cure in sydney 1981. Beginning of one the songs Robert says ''If your gonna gob and chuck cans F**k off home'' Brilliant.

I love the old Cure sound …much more solemn than the later 80’s …great quality for live audio …thanks!

Despite its stylistic diversity, Cure was above all a composer of expressionist aesthetics, always close to drama, depth, anguish and the deep and tormented vision of life that seems to emanate from the metaphysics of man as of his very deep nature🔥🕊

The quality of the Sydney concert is awesome, The Cure have so many great early songs (A Forest, Other Voices, 10:15 Saturday Night, Charlotte Sometimes, The Holy Hour). This is just compulsively listenable...

Recording quality is outstanding! Thanks so much for this ❤

charlotte sometimes absolutamente hermosaaa!!! 😍

The classic cure in all his splendor

Best recorded early gig! Still in Love,till the end!

Simply one of the best compilations of this band. And yes, the sound... no gimmicks, just pure...

Roberts wit is amazing one of the most influential bands in England

We were there for this gig, me and whitey were about 15 y o my brother 13. Was a dreamlike hour or so, where we kind of woke up at the end and thought Wow! Got to go backstage and smoke a big doobie with Lil, Robert sitting quietly to the side looking distant, untouchable. True story.

Probably the best version of a forest I've ever heard.

This version of Faith …. Gorgeous. Thank you.

My favorite Cure album. Just listened late last night/early this morning. In a bit of a mood. Now I find this. Thank you. I have a copy of the L. A. Show, and I had the 12” Charlotte single now long gone. Thank you for this. Sounds good.

Nostalgia.... 😊

Killer show, killer sound. Thank you 🙏

I think I can safely say I have not heard this version of Forever. Again. This is pretty great version. Damn.

I saw them here in New Zealand in 1980, and one of my friends saw them on this tour one year later, Brilliant

Accurate introduction, this sound is just Perfect !

The Cure are still a great band but I'll always prefer their early 80s concerts to their 2023 music. The energy and anger / edginess is overwhelming in the early recordings.

@@yourib5152 Yes I know that, Siouxsie & The Banshees are my favorite band from that period just like The Cure, Bauhaus, Joy Division etc, by the way Robert Smith played with them after the departure of Macay from SATB, then he replaced the genius guitarist and musician John McGeoch and he played their concert album Nocturne and participated in the recording and creation of their album Hyaena, in one word Robert is a fucking genius, I have to mention The Glove project with Steven Severin from SATB and of course the brilliant The Cure's albums like Faith, 17 sec , Pornography, The Head on the door, Disintegration etc and their concerts from the past until today.

Really a great contemporary document. Just think about how long ago that was and what a great set list there was, unbelievable .. The next step, for whatever reason, was towards the "Pornography" album - indicated for me with songs like "Charlotte Sometimes", "A Forest" or "Faith", which are brilliantly embodied here one after the other as a matter of course. Personally, I like their album Pornography the best because it embodies a sound that is second to none and that we loved incredibly much. Is there actually a proper biography about it that explains why they chose this musical style back then - I think there are some people who really know the history of the band .. Thank you very much for posting it 🖤🍷
