THE CURE - UNTITLED DOCUMENTARY FILM SERIES - PART 2 of 5

[@JonniePolyester]

This is staggering piece of work - superbly constructed and even more remarkable as its non-narrated which amplifies its impact. I’ve never seen such a large body of footage for a single artist or band, then so well woven together. I really do hope generations of Cure fans get to see this. Bravo.

[@BearWithNoFace]

Thank you, JonniePolyster! Much appreciated.

[@sargentshares]

Agreed! This video is layered in ways only a Cure song could be. It's an amazing piece of work for any Cure fan. Robert Smith is a genius and this series does a great job at showing why.

[@rebekka6]

Back when you were expected to pay attention to documentaries… when documentaries themselves were an art form… I imagine many folks watch this nowadays and get bored quick. For me it’s exactly what I want to see.

[@sargentshares]

This is by far one of the best documentary pieces on The Cure I've ever seen and I'm a fan since the 80's. So well done.

[@timespace.productions7513]

Robert Smith is literally one of the most underrated songwriters & guitarists of the twentieth & twenty-first centuries. Survived & thrived through dozens of musical trends.

[@heidistricklan1124]

I absolutely love & agree... 🥰

[@JL88]

Being inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame is a good enough nod and compensation

[@SuperBroonie]

When folk say under rated I just think yeah " by all the wrong people" which is cool. Millions of fans Millions of Sales the band are huge world wide they just maybe dont get the mainstream pop royalty treatment cos they actually hate that aspect of the industry. Who knows?

[@elgrande88]

He is so underrated that he has sold millions of records and CDs. He is now almost as well known worldwide as Coca Cola, so I would like to think that Coca Cola is the most underrated drink in the world that has outlived dozens of other drink trends

[@alfredofranco]

Underrated? Where, on Saturn's rings?

[@WorcesterSauce1969]

Another great look back through the years of The Cure. Robert was and still is such a unique character. He openly embraces his “awkwardness” in interviews and videos, yet this forms a part of the attraction to many fans I think. He somehow makes it cool to be just himself. I love that he is soooo down to earth despite the fame.

[@BearWithNoFace]

Well said!

[@lisas1625]

For real 💜

[@davidellis5141]

Starting with 17 Seconds & ending with Disintegration , The Cure were by far the Best Band of the 80's. Thanks for this excellent sounding upload. I will never forget.

[@mattknight9308]

33:00 Simon Gallup plays the guitar line on Plainsong. I never realised. What a clever solution. Much respect to the Cure for everything they've done. Thank you for this, Bear With no Face.

[@Naty_1980]

Of course I knew The Cure: A forest, Play for today, Lovesong, Burn, Blood flowers are among my most favourites. But it had to be Songs of a lost word that got me hooked... Better late than ever 🤦. This documentary is a gem! My jaw's already dropped hearing for the 1st time The figurehead and A night like this, from the 1st part. Can't wait to see what I'll discover in part two. Thank you, thank you ❤

[@SuiGenerisMan]

The sound efx were a BRILLIANT touch. Just marries everything together nicely

[@shakedydogshake]

I still love dancing and pogo’ing to The Cure, even still to this day, after 35 years of doing it! Nobody dances for pure kicks and giggles anymore. People are too damn serious nowadays....so self important everywhere now, borrrring!

God this is the best video EVER. I LOVE it. Well done for all your hard work on all the parts - a must see for every Cure fan!!

[@cridin33]

Really these series of documentaries are really making my days. And I love the way Robert speaks during the interviews...This one is special to me because my passion for The Cure started with the Album "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me" and the subsequent "The Kissing Tour" In Milan and, in 2018 for celebrating this moment I did a tattoo on my left arm, inspired by one of the album hit "Why Can't I Be You?"...Really awesome memories :):):). Thanks so much again for your service!!! It does really good to fill in the blanks in this fascinating trip with The Cure!

[@heavenlikejust]

I'm only on the second part but already I can't tell you how happy I am for having KZbin recommending me this. This is so beautifully done and put together - I have no words. Can't wait to watch it all!! I know not every passion of ours must be turned into profit but I feel like you should receive some kind of monetary reward for such a wonderful piece of work. Perhaps add a little link for some donations? I'm sure some people would be happy to chip in! :) This is how a music documentary should be made. Thank you for this. x

[@josephgordon4958]

Wow, what memories this stuff is bringing back. I first saw The Cure in Canada's Wonderland in the mid 80's. What a unbelievable show. They came out for 3 encores then as they walked out for a 4th, the park hit the lights. Robert shrugged, said sorry and it was over. They pulled some very, very deep classics that wonderful summer evening. I saw them every tour from that year through the mid 90's. Great band, great songs and the best live act I have ever seen

[@BearWithNoFace]

Wow! I had only heard one story about The Cure being literally shut off by the venue... but I wonder how many similar stories there are. What a great memory.

[@josephgordon4958]

@@BearWithNoFace Honesty, I wish I could answer that because in the 10 years I saw them multiple times, the Kingswood show at Canada's Wonderland was the only time that happened.. It was a great, great night!! Last encore was Forever! The only time I ever heard them play that live during those years... Wow is all I can say

[@BearWithNoFace]

@@josephgordon4958 wow, Forever too... I can only imagine. What a privilege.

[@maryburke5423]

I first saw the cure in 1980 at Macquarie Uni bar in Sydney. Less than 100 people in the band room. No stage, they were just set up on the floor, 4 feet from me and my school mates. Robert, Simon, Lol, and Mattheui Hartley on keyboards. Seventeen Seconds and earlier material. My mum picked us up after. Saw several shows of the Faith tour the following year in bigger venues. Ever grateful for bands that toured Australia back then.

[@MGAnotts]

Thank you for this... I've been a fan of the band since '83 and this is a perfect history of the band. Standing ovation for the epic work!!

[@jinx6493]

I’ve been a Cure fan since the early 80’s and this series is amazing! Thank you for your time, effort and perfectionism in making this four part documentary! A real insight into The Cure and the beautiful eccentricity that is Robert Smith. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🍻👍

[@jojo-lp4rd]

just great great songwriting, so cool to see how involved the whole band is in the album creation process. I mean Robert's voice is great but the bass always stood out to me, not sure what all the musical influences are that made the cure so recognizable but that bass is always so powerful and graceful across the whole catalog. so much deep English culture in what Robert is singing about, I wish I knew exactly what he's referencing, it's an English sentimentality I want to say is connected to romanticism like John Keats or Lord Byron, but that's not quite it. It has such a distinct feel. The Cure is totally one of a kind.

[@chrishenderson07]

"Push" holds up so well. Such a great song. Who has to pause this doc to put on vinyl from your teenage years to listen to the songs? Me, that's who!

My goodness Plainsong is so magical. It sounds like sea waves hitting the shore, kind of like Up The Beach by Jane's Addiction. Both such epic album openers!

[@ericlokishannonhouse2317]

The live performance of "Push" is so amazing...it truly feels emotionally charged from the perspective of the whole band. I don't think i've ever liked it as much until heAaring this. I had "head on the door" on cassette (!) and I always used to think of "push" as the song you listen to as 'filler' until flipping the tape over! Ha ha!

[@Arnabiarritz]

Push is an excellent song on the disc but you´re right, it is a "Filler". But this performance in Orange was really amazing, something magical happened there at that moment. It's my favorite song of all time.

[@taix371]

I grew up in th 90s and was a big fan then. I could barely afford a cure album and I had to drive almost an hour to buy Cure albums. Now, I can just look up rare footage and listen to any Cure song or video online.

[@ono1dij]

Argentina concerts!!! My parents didn't let me go 'cause I was 13 years at that moment, only we went with the car a few blocks from the stadium and it was a pandemonium, people runing, police everywhere, and my mom telling me "did you see? I was right!!!", and we return home, I stood on the balcony and at times you could hear the music from there... I couldn't believe it, my most adored band playing a few blocks from my house, and my heart shattered... Luckily a few years ago they were encouraged to return and it was an unforgettable 4 and a half hours ... But it was not the same without Porl and Boris...

[@BearWithNoFace]

ono1dij thank you so much for sharing this!! Such heartbreak to not be able to go, I’m sure... but what a great memory!

[@propulsor3581]

I was there, tuesday 17th 1987, A Strange Day the song played in this documentary was the next day, wendsday 18th. I was 15 years old, my cousin was 14 and he a did not growths at that time, so I was trying to take care of him. The line over Avellaneda ave was a mess, thousands of people in the line. When they opened the gates the crowd got us into the stadium, literaly floating with the uncuted ticket in our hands, our feet never touched the ground until we touch the grass of the stadium field, I think for two weak teenagers we got off easy. We watched the show near the FOH, an it was a perfect show. Eigth years later I saw again The Cure in Madrid, with a new band called Oasis as an opening artist, but that is another story...

[@BearWithNoFace]

@SuzzCC Thank you so much! In all honesty I wasn't sure how this series would be received - the music is important to so many people on an individual level, so what I perceive as a good telling of a story could be WAY different from another person's. I was expecting a lot more "that's not how it happened/how I remember it."

[@jefferycorley8006]

The 1985-1992 era of the Cure was by far their best lineup. Even though it shifted around the margins. The team of Smith, Gallup, Thompson, and Williams was so wonderful.

[@slimeballz]

I'd say 79-89 was an incurable decade. Best line up and albums.

[@victorlongon]

I also love all the album's from the 80's like every other fan, but i think wish is criminally underrated. For me is as good as the other ones people put on top. I am saying this because I agree with what you said regarding the line up.

However, note: @ 43:00 - 45:00 - the hugely irritating TOTP crowd/audience really haven't got a fucking clue - presumably told to clap along by the producers to create some dubious sense of 'party vibe', so they meekly comply, and in so doing completely miss the whole point of (and totally ruin the mood of) a song like Pictures Of You...... it's almost embarrassing to watch!
