[@MikeFromNashville]

It's so amazing how now in 2012 I can simply search KZbin for these gems. Back in the day we only had grainy VHS Bootlegs from England. Today you can access anything! :) Kids today have no idea. :)

I’m not a huge fan of The Cure and yet I find myself watching and loving every single archaic video of The Cure like I think they’re the best band of all time. Fight me.

[@datsoon9236]

Why don't you just become a fan of The Cure? What you're doing right now seems pretty complicated 😂

[@josec1538]

Haha Who are you a fan of?

[@DanzaDylan]

@@josec1538right that’s the real question they seem like a confused individual

[@Kingfisher1215]

They had no idea then that 35 or so years later they would go into the rock hall of fame.

[@janiquevaillot8554]

I'm never boring to see the young and angry Rob Smith ! He was bloody sexy. His style is haunting. Love The CURE and Rob is the boss !(Friendly from France) A true fan of them since I was a teenager.

[@janiquevaillot8554]

Robert Smith was only 23 years old. I was 14 and I was listerning to The CURE ! Always loved their haunting sound and the deep lyrics ! Robert Smith is 62 now and his voice is the same. He's growing older of course. Time waits for nobody. He's not so hot and sexy but he's still charming. Great performer with Great talent ! Timeless band !

[@eddodeleeuw2453]

My fav Cure bassist: Simon Gallup. Man, you and Tina Weymouth pushed me to play the bass. Best instrument ever. Thank you Simon.

[@kaigreensmith]

That Jazzmaster is beautiful

[@noahfreeman3191]

Fire in Cairo was the song that got me hooked on the cure

[@weeverob]

Go boys Go, the future is all yours! [retired time traveler]

[@TheAdjacentFetus]

one of my favorite bands of all time. Robert Smith is top 5 favorite guitarists for me... under appreciated and a legend. Also check out John McGeoch!

[@datsoon9236]

Johnny Marr is also crazy for guitar in the genre. Just check out "Barbarism Begins at Home" and you'll know what I mean, lol

[@camilosandoval1455]

The voice, guitar and bass with Chorus. The unique attack of the drums... So harmonious. Music that ages perfectly well.

[@mikeyj.3605]

I really dig Smith's guitar playing during Play for Today.

[@elianyb56]

Smiths werent even a band when this was happening my guy

[@mikeyj.3605]

@@elianyb56 I talking about Robert. The band name "The Smiths" I believe is taken from that couple with the last name "Smith" that knew who had committed the Moor Murders in the early to mid sixties. They dealt with a lot of backlash from the public after the trial and seems like an emotional connection Morrisey would use.

[@elianyb56]

@@mikeyj.3605 Oh right ! I had confused his name with the band, i apologize. Thats interesting i didnt know that !

[@noahfreeman3191]

@@mikeyj.3605 Morrissey and Marr chose the name “The Smiths” because it is the most common last name in the world. And they were ordinary men. Not big rockstars.

[@datsoon9236]

@@elianyb56 my guy, he's talking about Robert Smith. Lead of The Cure. Not *The Smiths* 😂

[@herb79]

@Mstar82 Yes they did: setlist was: the holy hour, in your house, the drowning man, 10.15 saturday night, accuracy, the funeral party, m, primary, other voices, all cats are grey, fire in cairo, play for today, a forest.

[@-Colonel-Kernel]

Just listened to this 5 times , maybe 10 times today, just cant get enough, wanna dream this song, this particular performance. Its discustingly good!

[@spjunkies]

Time for you to listen to it 5 more times 🥴

[@lolorenz6209]

Hab jetzt erst entdeckt. Danke für die Zeitreise.

[@Furtivo95]

I wasn’t a big fan of The Cure in the 80s. But now in my 40s,I have embraced now even their most obscure cuts. Strange.

[@davidonion4150]

Sorry you missed it.

[@plaidsquidward]

This song is fucking fantastic. And Robert looks magnificent around this age. This was my favorite era of The Cure, I think.

[@JMarieCAlove]

Robert Smith, so young! Love the Cure! Saw them in ‘91 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA. I was lucky I got seats close to the stage, so much fun! 😁💖

[@rockman8by7cut]

The beginning. Wow they rock big time .

[@JuliaNeis]

Can't stop smiling! Young Robert is hot!

SIMON, I WANT A SON OF YOU JAJA

[@jurgens.8019]

Da war Cure noch eine coole Band!Heute die Rolling Stones der Jetztzeit!Langweeeeiliiig!!

[@Solander78]

"JetztZeit" in der die RollingStones noch über 70 auf die Bühne gehen...? ^^

[@jurgens.8019]

Aber langweilig ohne Ende!Welcher Musikfan will den gleichen Scheiss über 40 Jahre höhren!Nur die Stehengebliebenen,am besten noch mit Gottschalkfrisur!!

[@plaidsquidward]

I can't explain what this does to me when I hear him sing this song, holy shit.

[@trentdawg2832]

He reminds of John cusak in better off dead right when the fat nieghbor lady drinks the gas and lights the cig!!!!!

[@herb79]

@cmclsrnsee II'll have to check - I might have one or two songs from this gig, definitely not more

[@carlosnavarro2973]

on the other hand, in those days-70s, 80s-pop music was at its finest, whereas now... NOTHING Worth listening to, innit???

[@Mstar82]

fire in cairo is already existant here, but not Play For Today (from the werchter festival perforamces) so thank you very much didn't they play In your house and M there too?

[@myinfluence2u]

Lawrence is better than jason

[@youjoker9647]

Even a decade later I find these comments lame

[@hardrokfan]

No way, drums on this are uninspiring.

[@deathwish1284]

He was high af

[@alancassio6031]

I'd like to have had there but I am 28 years old.

[@tiefensucht]

there are so many other good bands that play today (ok now we have corona.. but they will play again^^)

[@cure4allAndMe]

i dont think he is high or retarded. Lol could play a steady groove unlike jason who is sloppy and sounds like he is hitting a cardboard box. Boris is the best of all Cure drummers, then Andy, Lol and finally the other guy..

[@rockybautista3322]

This is Lies

Always love the harmonic use on PFT.
