Seen them at Pilton in1990 and playing on Saturday at possibly the peak of popularity wasn't half as good as this. No auto tune or back up singer's or dancers etc. I wish they'd done a Pornography set, that would have really screwed with the audience! 😉

I went to see The Crow in 1994 just to hear this song. I never thought they would play it live, then in 2013 they played it Live for the first time in New Orleans. I was lucky to see them play it on their 2016 tour of the US. Such a great song, and a great movie. What's interesting about the song is Robert was a fan of the comic book, The Crow, so when he was asked to do a song for the movie he wrote the song specifically for the movie. None of the other songs in the movie were specifically written for it. The soundtrack is killer nonetheless.

it was an amazing show... i had no idea that Robert Smith was still performing at all, let alone at this level... I'd be honored if some fans of 80s/90s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael and PURPLE RAIN by Prince on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest vocalist-songwriters in music history. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.

I had no idea the live version of this song would be so damn brilliant!! The Cure still have that signature sound. I think of Brandon and Bruce Lee when I hear this song.

Remember that the original version was recorded with just Robert SMith playing all the instruments (bass, guitars and keyboard) and Boris WIlliams at Drums !!!

Black Sunshine they’ve been playing Burn for the past few years now; Voodoo Festival in the US was it’s first appearance. I remember Robert Smith saying they’d never play it out of respect for Brandon Lee; I’m guessing though ‘It can’t rain all the time’.
