The Cure have their own unique sound if that had just been an instrumental song without the visuals you'd know straight away you were listening to the The Cure👌

[@Pana_DoP]

Saw them a few times in Germany and their Gigs feel like a Mass! They perform about 4 Hours and you feel enlightened after that experience. I´m 51 now and saw them 1989 the first time!

[@qwertzuiop05]

Same here. '89, Disintegration tour, Budapest, I was 18, almost 4 hours of great music.

[@eracli0]

4 hours when I saw them in Texas. Best live band ever!

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Your reactions are 300% authentic. You are a pleasure to watch. I love me a great live band and I've seen many. I'm only sorry The Cure weren't one of them. They totally killed this.

[@tonydelapa1911]

Well said, Dipsydoodle. I could not agree more about our friend Adogg.

[@cdupdetat]

i think you still have a chance to see them live

[@Michael-di4bb]

The Cure was my first concert at age 17! What can I say, it was amazing. The band has soul and depth. I first discovered them in 4th or 5th grade with the Love Song 12" and Disintegration LP, where this song was taken from.

[@amys.4951]

I've loved The Cure since I was in high school in the 80's but FINALLY got to see them live about 4 years ago. Best. Show. EVER!

[@kara4827]

The CURE was my favorite band in the early & mid 1980’s❣️

[@VenusMacabre]

That's the power of goth music. Just the emotional intensity, romanticism, atmospheric guitars, steady dance drums and bass-driven melody. 🥰

[@steviekc9057]

I'm here with you to the end!! "Cut the conversation, just open your mouth" is so sexy to me for some reason. I actually went to sleep to this album last night (Disintegration), and the whole thing is perfection. Check out "Lullabye", "Boys Don't Cry" and "Hot Hot Hot" along with their love songs "Love Song", "Pictures of You", "Just Like Heaven", "Friday I'm in Love". So many choices!!!

[@williamwilkes8177]

There best music,........is simply the long...dark, stuff...........pornography..........

[@williamwilkes8177]

If you like cure, try beezus Taylor.........seriously............

[@dano9008]

I saw them long ago and they were the best live act I've seen. They are one the few acts that consistently sounds better live. It takes a lot of dedication to achieve that. You have to play the songs together so many times it might be aggravating to wind up that in sync. You will enjoy a deeeeeep dive no doubt. The have a huge catalog that includes many long songs with great intros. And I can tell you enjoyed that rhythm section, they come through again and again. I think that's why I can still enjoy their music after roughly 40 years as a fan.

[@allysonlincoln8175]

I was at this Dallas show in high school, 1989, on ecstasy, with my first girlfriend! It was THE BOMB! One of the best nights of my LIFE. Have seen them 3 times total but this show was the one that will forever be with me. So glad you appreciate!!!

[@bookshelvesNZ]

2016 - Auckland, New Zealand - saw the Cure live. Hands down, one of the best nights of my life!

[@sydramars7065]

Love The Cure. So highly underrated. So many great songs from them that didn't get radio play. Definitely watched to the end. Always love your channel. 💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤

[@pauly676767]

Seen them 14 times..... For The Cure, and touring, that's Alot.... Close to 3 hrs of pure music...

[@sandrahutto]

I watched until the end! The Cure was one of my favorite bands when I was younger back in the day and I still love listening to them. This song is from their album "Disintegration", and it is a whole mood, specifically "I just got dumped and I feel super sorry for myself". All of the songs are kind of moody but with loads of intros like this one, kind of ethereal and dramatic for sure.

[@bevkelly76]

Was listening on my phone..when you were talking about the intro put my headphones on...and wow my ears went damn. Lol. Good song. Watching till the end!

[@MRoyClark]

React to the official video of "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure for your next reaction, please!!! They have * A LOT * of hits, but it's widely considered one of their best. I was like 11 years-old when it came out, and seeing that video and hearing that song on MTV in 1987 (along with Depeche Mode "Never Let Me Down Again") blew my little mind.

[@debbiedebster5806]

My favorite version of this song was on MTV's Unplugged! The tiny piano!💓

[@m.ericwatson968]

watched the video to the end, cool to see a reaction to The Cure live, they are superb studio musicians who can translate the music so well live, Robert Smith is a brilliant composer and musician

[@MH-wm6df]

Going to theirs concerts in New Orleans and Tampa in 2023. Can’t wait. Been a fan since 87

[@LH-po3up]

Love The Cure...Burn & A Forest live at the Glastonbury Festival are both fab tracks and worth a listen.

[@aimee_susan]

Omgggg I don’t know how I forgot about A Forest. So, so good.

[@debraponticelli4805]

I am so excited! The Cure is my favorite and I never thought I would see a reaction.

[@cybertaiga9534]

I have seen The Cure, 7 times altogether. I will never forget those experiences. They are the most special band according to me. Their live concerts are legendary- at a minimum they play 3-4 hours straight at almost every concert. They are on stage for all the right reasons and they are sincere in their music. That's why you will find a lot of hardcore Cure fans. It is not merely music for entertainment... it is an immersive experience. Their music gives a sense to all the madness that life offers. A very important band- a global treasure that many overlook.

[@larryberry1398]

I made it to the end. The Cure are fooking amazing live. I've seen them 14 times-1985 being the first. They are always giving their hearts and souls into every concert. BTW the drummer's name is Boris Williams and he puts down the steady beat.

[@JennRighter]

Saw them in 2019, was absolutely blessed to see them side stage at ACL and WOW, they’re so amazing. I cried, lol. I have three videos on my channel of the show (my channel is not eligible for monetization, so no motive other than if you want to check it out). I’m so glad you reacted to them live. It’s insane how good they are live, to this day! ❤️

[@mandomaldonado4498]

I was supposed to work it 😔

[@martinhamburg2301]

I saw them there as well 2019 ACL. Awesome show

[@SlowGraffitiVideo]

I’ve seen them twice. Once on a greatest hits tour when I was 16, the show was made me a fan for life. I liked them before the show, but loved them forever afterwards. It was in Chicago and they didn’t have an opener and played for almost 3 hours. I always put their album Disintegration the first time it snows for the year.

[@beekay5914]

The first Cure song I heard that I liked, I thought they were dull. But this is a great song, as is much of their work, I found out. After having looked into them, I regret not having found them sooner. Burn, Shake Dog Shake, A Forest, Friday I'm in Love, what a crazy wonderful band.

[@christinez1392]

I went to see them like in 2000ish their Bloodflowers tour! It was just them, no opening band and it was the best show ever. Everyone was dresses up like dark angels and fairies and it was such a cool, cool, real vibe. They opened with fascination street and I was in the bathroom and I ran back to my place in the crowd and to my surprise my same spot was still available, that how chill it was!! ❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@yoceedub7987]

One of the best bands ever. Amazing musicianship. I’ve been fortunate to seem them live on multiple times. They incredible live and are know for their long encores. They are as good live now as they were 30 years ago. Please do more Cure reactions!

[@moniquebraunwalder8789]

I'm from SoCal and born in 82. I grew up listening to everything. I listen to The Cure every day of my life. My daughter asked if I ever get tired of listening to the same thing. NEVER! I saw them live in 2000 and I just saw a cover band in January called The Curse. They sound pretty dang amazingly close to the real deal. 😍

[@robbieausman1337]

Just saw them live last month; 31 years to the day from the first time. Sounded just as good, freaking amazing band live.

[@matthewjamesedwards3835]

Truly one of the greatest concerts I ever attended (Bloodflowers tour)… Along with Depeche Mode Devotional tour, U2 Achtung Baby tour, and Bauhaus. The Cure live is an experience in sound, emotion, texture… Smith is brilliant, contributed so much to the world of modern rock it’s absurd.

[@inhotcolor]

It’s great to witness your reaction to a band I’ve liked for as long as I’ve had ears. I admit i usually listen to this track 3-4 times in a row any time I put it on, it’s just that good. This was one of the band’s best line ups as well. The drummer Boris Williams is a legend… he’s really killing it in this version. Very cool man! It’s invaluable to hear your perspective on it.

[@shannonbennett987]

I managed to see the them once in three consecutive decades. Mid 80's, mid 90's and early 2000's. The second time was the best.

[@ashleydixon4613]

Thank you thank you thank you! It’s a hard contest, but this is probably my favorite Cure song. I feel like I’m back at a party or club in the late 80s early 90s on the dance floor with everyone else. (Damn straight I made it through the end of the video! Lol)

[@thecurechivas]

Hello there mate, I’ve seen The Cure so many times in San Diego & Los Angeles. They’re awesome! They sound so much better live than their studio albums. Saw them last summer in Chula Vista & they were amazing!! ♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎶🏆🤗 I’m obsessed with The Cure since high school. Greetings from San Diego,CA.

[@DJCr8tive]

I've been a The Cure Fan since 84', I've seen them only once but the experience stayed with me for a couple of months. Love to say this was my little girl's first band concert and she loved it. Glad you are enjoying it too Adogg.

[@markginsel4238]

Saw them 1992-06-11 Austin - Frank Erwin Center (yes I'm old) it was awsome. Bought front row tickets. Recall looking back over the crowd and seeing nothing but happiness. Looked again and saw the crowd hand surfing this short girl that couldn't see anything to the front. She landed close by me and we opened up a spot for her. It was the best concert I've ever attended.

[@jaimeheviarubio2742]

Another great song from The Cure is A Forest, in live version 1992

[@amandagraham4254]

I have seen The Cure in concert in Toronto. I'm Canadian 🇨🇦. It was friggin AWESOME!!

[@sherribacharach540]

I finally got to go see them for the first time when Disintegration came out. It is still one of my all time favorite concerts. Every time they play the sound is incredible!! Robert Smith is not a talker on stage. He just plays and plays. I see them every time they are on tour and come to Denver.

[@lifelikeweeds819]

Watching the Cure the first and only time was the best show I've ever seen. I watched them in Salt Lake City during the Dream Tour. An amazing set list as it was trilogy heavy. They opened with 100 Years and it blew my mind how good they are live. Easily the best live band I've ever seen. My favorite band of all time. Thanks for showing them some love. Really enjoying these.

[@stereocil]

I saw the Cure live in Montréal around 1987, then 1989: Disintegration. Memorable shows. Check out The Cure in Orange, to get a glimpse of their vibe in those times. They paid special care to lighting effects, smoke, but especially on acoustics. Robert Smith would not talk so much, but made sure to great and thank the crowd. When I lay on my dying bed, theirs will be among the shows that I will remember.

[@karlclarke]

1st Concert i ever saw was The Cure London dec 1987 the last concert i saw was The Cure London dec 2022, they are amazing live still to this day and play epic concerts 3 hours long

[@marchandelman3652]

Anytime you want to go I'll take you. I'm so grateful you are so impressed with this group. Seeing them six times including Wembley in 2022 and Hollywood Bowl 2023. The most epic band the most epic voice 43 years going strong

[@dylanhaddock1394]

Their live shows were insane musically and visually. Absolute pros at their craft!!❤️🔥🔥

3 time in live concert, at hide park london, rome palaeur and Taormina Sicily 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@annak8666]

Thank you for reacting! There is nothing like The Cure. I have seen them for more than 20 times (I am 47 years old) and every concert was...WOW. So much heart!

[@simonhopkins6077]

The Cure are THE band of my life - blessed to have been into them since '83 - love them.... the tours of the 80's/90s were phenomenal.

[@brandixx7453]

Their tours are still phenomenal. They haven't missed a beat.

[@JohnnyBrewer68]

This is off of the album Disintegration and it was The Prayer tour in 1989. They played at the Summit in Houston, Texas. I was in row 18 on the floor. I was just close enough to see their faces pretty well, but far enough back to see the whole stage set-up, and since I was just in front of the mixing boards, the sound was perfect. That was an amazing concert. Another song with a huge intro is the album version of "The Kiss" off the album Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me.

[@anthonybryson533]

I watched till the end... Always loved this song, so ethereal, a liminal space, the twilight before the dawn, lost in a rain soaked alley, alone with another, grasping at the last vestiges of the night.

[@patches6309]

Saw them live in Philly 20 years ago and they still killed it back then. So many great songs from this incredibly talented band to discover. Checkout "The Forrest", it's an amazing vibe.

[@johnday8603]

I was at one of their concerts in the 90's...goosebumps beginning to end...for reals...great music, great lighting, great crowd...

[@david_2982]

Saw them in 1989 in New Orleans, 1992 in Dallas, and 1996 in Dallas. They are undoubtedly one of the best live bands I've seen and one of my favorite all time bands. Their shows tend to last for several hours. I highly recommend watching "The Cure Trilogy" in Berlin. They performed three of their best albums back to back to back, plus encores.

[@shariwelch8760]

The Cure is my favorite band, they're kings of the long intros. I've been to tons of their concerts, they're amazing. They have a lot of different kinds of songs - from happy but quirky pop, to dark psychedelia like this one, to really really dark stuff. And they're still an active band. They have tons of albums, so there's a lot to choose from. Some of their best songs are B-sides from the earlier days. And yeah that drummer, his name is Boris, he was the best. They have a different drummer now, but Boris is legend.

[@shariwelch8760]

And of course I watched to the end, I'm a Cure fan haha

[@drunkroku4054]

I saw them in concert in Chicago in 1989 for this tour and it was really good. And yes, the drummer is great.

[@Sherdelune]

I've seen the Cure four times, and met them twice. Such an awesome band and very nice people.

[@01egna]

The Cure live in Wembly Arena 'Kiss Me Kiss Me' was the best concert I've ever attended in my life.

[@andreahazuda1229]

I went to the UK to see them at the Festival called Bestival then I went to NYC to see them at Madison Square Gardens. I want to see them again they are amazing. Each concert is a journey of emotions. The best band every!

[@davidzayas5060]

Made it to the end of the video. Glad you liked it. I’ve seen them live about 5 times. Great show every time. But for real, you should check out the regular version of the song sometime. (Not the live one). His vocals on the regular track are amazing . And that Bass!!

[@david_post_punk]

Always prefer Live cure

[@brisblondie]

Prob my all time favorite band. Have seen them live at least 8 times starting in 1986. Always absolutely stellar live. Their Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me show had the weirdest and coolest lights I had ever seen at that time. They wore white and the lights made them look like they were on fire 🔥. Huge huge live sound. My husband was even in a fantastic Cure tribute band for many years here in Dallas. It’s still going now. Fascination Street was often their opener. My favorite cure songs are Edge of the Deep Green Sea, Charlotte sometimes, Primary, Catch, Like Cockatoos, a Forest, Hanging Garden… so many others. They are HUGE band that has lasted over 5 decades!!! And still going now. Oh! And they were really known for their music videos back in the day. Always cool and interesting.

[@JRKeelin]

I had the pleasure of seeing The Cure 5 times in concert over the years.. Amazing

[@Hyapatia77]

I saw them at The Gorge In George, Washington, in '97, Seattle in '98, and Everett in '04. I've been a fan since '91. Love em!!

Barely controlled feedback and THAT bass! Love this song! A cover band of "The Cure" moved into the old house I grew up in... I sat outside on a return visit and they played this.... like they were actually The Cure! They were Awesome! .... Have a look at the real The Cure concert "In The Round" - sitting on cushions on the floor within touching distance of the audience! Outstanding!!

I have been a fan since 1985. My favorite band! The first time I saw them was at Wembly Arena in 1989.

I was stationed at Ft. Carson in Colorado Springs when I was in the Army from '86-'89. I wasn't a huge fan of The Cure but I knew I had to see the tour stop in Denver with The Cure/Love And Rockets/The Pixies. It was AMAZING!

[@MaryMary-qt4yg]

Saw them for the first time in 1989 at the Rosemont Horizon which is now Allstate Arena and have seen them a dozen more times after. Every show has been phenomenal!

[@vooj]

I noticed the drumming too.. memorizing... After being hypnotized by those guitars...

[@fernandopessoa7077]

Saw them at St George’s Hall in Bradford on The Wish Tour, I had balcony seats at the side of the stage, during the support act I could see Robert, Simon & the others drinking pints and enjoying the music and having a laugh, not taking themselves too seriously, without checking I think they opened with Pictures Of You but you know how memory is, it was probably during the encore…

[@monikaalexander4931]

Watched until the end. As always, I love seeing you so open with all subjects. Your smile & positive attitude are contagious!!

[@vitzthum9370]

That is from a broadcast of ELF99, which was a youth tv programm at the end of east germany. What a great song by The Cure. Man I love the whole album Disintegration.

[@MikeKonczal-cq1pu]

The Cure released a 'greatest hits' album called "All Mixed Up" where they re-mixed songs like "Fascination Street" and "A Forest" which is awesome.

[@franticproductions]

Bro. you are a true 'Innocent'. Open mind and heart. Congrats. Yes, I have seen them twice, and yes they are that good in person. What's funny is that I missed them in the 90s because I was doing my own thing. My adult daughters, who loved them growing up, bought me a ticket and took me to The Cure concert! I was blown away🤯. When they returned, we bought tickets and I said "oh yeah let's go"!!!

[@doctorabominable]

I went to their shows in ‘87, ‘89, ‘92, and ‘97. Every show powerful. ‘89 was transcendent. Go see them when they come to your town.

[@gretchenlenzparmer68]

I have seen them live several times. And was front row, center last time I went & it was intense! It was AWESOME! AMAZING!! He will lock eyes with you & it’s like he is singing right to you. I also had back stage passes. Met everyone BUT Robert Smith which sucked. But I sat with the guys & Roger opened up some champagne & poured us some & we chatted. I did ask if they liked the remake that 311 did of their song, Love Song & they didn’t agree on it. I like both versions but I absolutely LOVE The Cure! So glad you found them & enjoyed them. Surprised more have reacted to them.

[@moniquearntz9567]

My all-time favourite band. Saw them live three times. Amazing every time!

[@rediscoveryrecords1348]

I saw them in 1989,92,96 and 2002. Amazing times. Even took my dad in 1992. When i was 16. My dad was a teacher. In our seats we heard "mr. Humphrey?!".this student of his was dumbstruck her teacher was a t a Cure concert. Safe to say my dad felt cool the next day at schoold as hus students knew he was at a Cure show lol

[@avoitabutler]

Saw them in Arizona at Compton Terrace in 1989. They played until the speakers caught fire. Phenomenal! Best concert I've ever seen until I went to see Rammstein in LA last September.

[@milbert-naymheeler1979]

I missed my 30th high school class reunion to see the Cure. They are my favorite and they put on one hell of a show.

All three times I’ve seen them live was amazing. So great to see people hearing them for the first time… 🤘❤️

[@berthayoungblood]

This is my ultimate favorite Cures song.. thanks so much for reacting

[@shariwelch8760]

It's hard for me to pick favorite Cure songs, but this is near the top for sure.

[@kristoferbatdorf2873]

I saw them in Atlanta like 6 yrs ago or so, we drove from Nashville to see them, it was hot as fuck in Atlanta we got hung up in traffic tryin to park, we missed about 20 minutes or so of the show, we could hear it just couldn't see it, and they played for another almost 3 hours after we got in, man it was a awesome show. It's on KZbin the cure in atlanta live it was bad ass.i also saw them like 30 yrs ago, in nashville they've always been a awesome band.

[@nvee7744]

I've been to one of their concerts in Madison Square Garden. It was awesome. The lights always line up with the drum beats.

[@blueberry88088]

The Cure are phenomenal! I just saw them live in June and still one of the best bands I've seen live, so amazing. If you like the intro listen to the Forest. I ❤️ The Cure, my favorite of all times!

[@jaylonsdale1148]

Saw them in 89 for the tour promoting this album. The prayer tour. They are phenomenal live.

[@jamLP]

I have been to the Cure three times. Every time they brought it. And always did an encore. And Smith is sweet to the audience.

[@Grithron2]

1. People often read sexual innuendo into the "open your mouth...what goes in.." lines, but Robert has indicated that the song is about wandering in a drug-dazed state around New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Coincidentally, or not, a year later The Mission released a song on the same subject, with a self-explanatory title: Never Again! 2. As a Brit of a certain age and income, I saw The Cure live five times, thrice in 1996 (the Mood Swings tour), once in 1997 (the Galore tour) and once in 1999 (the Bloodflowers tour). They used to be - not so much now - famous for playing LONG shows with a very unpredictable repertoire drawing on all corners of their catalogue. Also, before the turn of the century, they were one of the last bands to improvise extensively on stage - including vocal freestyling as well as extended guitar solos in certain songs like Faith, Snakepit, Pornography, A Forest (the most famous example), 100 Years and (the very improvisational) Three/Forever (routine)..which is why Cure bootlegs from the '80s and '90s are priceless treasures.

[@ingobordewick6480]

I've seen them live maybe 15 times over the years and they are awesome live. Saw them the last time last week in Leipzig, Germany and they still sound as fresh as 40 years ago. Playing their asses of for over two and a half hours. Awesome show!

[@sbollin4321]

Saw this live in Germany once and then saw this live in Atlanta another time and The Cure never disappointed.

[@ElfinMadness]

Agree on the intro. That bassline gets me everytime. I love them so much.

[@TonyRom257]

I saw them in 1985 in NYC....one of the best concerts I've ever been to

[@matthewmoses5324]

I watched til the end, and appreciate you appreciating my favorite song by The Cure. As a goth kid in the 90s, this was my jam.
