The Cure -

[@dcnole]

For my personal tastes, these earlier, faster, punkier The Cure performances are better than anything that came later. This video is fantastic.

[@DaveAnchovies]

he never stayed in one place long....he never abandoned this era, that live album is about all the Banshees i can take. her finest moment, on Bill Grundy with the Pistols.

[@MakisNachtmarMakisDark]

I totally agree with your point of view this my friend Besides I was just a year punk then I'm still of course! Since then I have been listening to other types of music such as Post Punk Darkwave and Gothic!

[@georgefromgreece4119]

Totally

[@JubeProductions]

you're right, This is the best way to play the song. But the cure has had over 40 years of great music since then. They really have had a remarkable career, and they're still going. How may of their contemporaries are still playing? I'm not talking about some reunion tour after 30 years either. The Cure have been playing and producing albums non-stop since 1979.

[@janiquevaillot8554]

Good deal for Production who put The CURE on ways of fame with their records and their so many tours ! 40 de carrière !!! Mes respects

[@seventeenseconds3816]

wow a really punk version it's AMAZING!

[@DaveAnchovies]

thye were a punk band for a few solid years..some classic stuff, and evolved several times over the years...but Smith never abandoned that era and was more laid back than people took him.

[@SocialismWolf]

Love this punky version!

[@greyfox4577]

This is a rarity, probably the only clip of Michael Dempsey actually playing.

[@KELTONWOLFE]

Is that the bassist?

[@greyfox4577]

@@KELTONWOLFE Yes he was the original bassist which i believe had different views from Robert Smith regarding the band so he left.

[@humanchannel7825]

@@greyfox4577 what were those different views

[@sharklostworld]

@@humanchannel7825 basically michael wanted the cure to sound like XTC and robert wanted the cure to sound more like siouxsie and the banshees

[@DaveAnchovies]

he made the most of it. g'damn.

[@LilNicky109]

This band is really cool. I hope they make it big someday.

[@natelivas3961]

I hope they get induced into the Hall of Fame! I predict it for them.

[@workingtitle7049]

I wonder if they'll ever make a song about Friday

[@victoraa8682]

Their lead vocalist should really consider applying pale white paint on his face.

The CURE and Robert Smith are so famous all over the world ! Mars 2022

[@jacominaveseli5033]

I am sitting on the kitchen sink...And tap....dripps....dripps

[@sifugurusensei]

this could've been a completely different band if Robert Smith hadn't played with the Banshees. Robert in the early days wanted The Cure to be like The Buzzcocks and Elvis Costello. I like both Simon Gallup and Michael Dempsey's playing style. The Cure always had a prominent bassline

[@garthrallysport]

Dario Wirtha Both Dempsey & Gallup influenced my bass playing

[@garysmith7184]

Like one of their 'hero bands'...Can

[@tutsybassista]

@@garthrallysport I named my 5-string bass SIMON! 😍

[@mkiswatoo]

Dempsey was the best Cure bass player. I didn't know that Bob loved Buzzcocks (I do).

[@modernartpropertyservices931]

Dempsey is one of my favorite bass players of all time!

[@Ili_xx1933]

I love this version of the song. So full of life, so energetic! And that part when Robert exagerates with "drip" i absolutely love it. Amazing version of the song.

[@JubeProductions]

this is how the song should be played.......fast

[@francescoriccioli4326]

When they were simply three imaginary boys. A vacuum cleaner, a fridge and a lamp.

[@kstardustandthespidersfrom3085]

Killer bassline. Awesome version.

[@janiquevaillot8554]

In fact, may be the greatest version if this great song ! Wow ! I was 13 and now I'm 56. And I love their energy and faith in Music and Fame ! Winners ! Congrats !!!

[@greasetrap95]

Love Dempsey's stage presence.

[@autumnandderek]

No one talks about the early line-up. Would "The Cure" be where it is today without the out-the-gates stuff?

[@Elephant334]

Police and Stranglers had a child

[@ramon9422]

Just love the very early Cure. Those guys rocked!

[@janiquevaillot8554]

Agree with you !

[@JubeProductions]

I've got underwear that's older than Robert in this video, yet even at this early age he kills it. Having a clear defined vision of how he was going to take over.

[@tutsybassista]

I'm still in shock that ROBERT didn't fall into the 27 club, or The Dead Frontman curse!

[@janiquevaillot8554]

Slowly or speedy this song is still one of their so many masterpieces ! Love the way they were performing at these times. Wow I was only 13 years old ! Now I'm 56 I do still love all their songs. I discover their early days through your videos clips. Thanks a lot for.

[@smokin1974]

This has to be by far the best version we are likely to see of this great track - what a line up talent wise and what a style they had back then too!

[@josephialarcon1291]

I can't believe this is the very beggining of a Band. Such geniuses!!!

[@missescookie]

Long time Cure collector have seen a ton of '79 stuff, but have NEVER this one! THANK YOU SO MUCH! :)

[@Harry_Young]

I personally love how this is played

[@robertd8351]

What a great talent R. Smith is is. I have never seen him so young, about the first time I bought their first records. The Cure never disappoint me. So many years later I keep enjoying their music, sad or happy.

[@erad67]

Ahhhhh, not getting to see the end of the song, soo sad!

[@thecure2000]

This is THE coolest video i EVER seen from The Cure !!! Thank you so much for sharing this !!

[@AndrewInCanada99]

Love that improv jam at the end, Robert’s guitar playing can be pretty jangly and fun sometimes :)

[@charlotteray927]

He is so enjoying this performance. He's smiling. I love this

[@christopherhoward672]

This performance is amazing, and I love the bass playing. That said, you can see how Dempsey wasn't right for the minimalist direction the band would take.

[@eboethrasher]

Oh yeah, he was all over the place here. Simon is truly the perfect bassist for the band.

[@mindycaruso3205]

Love this live performance and Bob's green pants. Drip, drip, drip, drip , drip , drip , drip , drrrriiiippp

Had I heard this back then I would of liked it, straight away! The closest I heard anything like this in 1979 was the Pretenders or The Cars, no Cure played on the radio yet.

❤. I love the cure great band. Honestly they all look about 14 years old here. Love how free and mature they were for their age.

[@jservingo]

Una verdadera reliquia ver a los 3 cure originales. Dempsey tocaba jazzeado por eso Smith se peleo con el y lo saco del grupo, luego vendría Gallup y la triologia oscura.

[@jlamotta2]

Más bien punk más que jazzy

[@oggdoggd]

Lo que el quiere decir es que el Bajo acompaña demasiado, buena versión pero luego se notaría la oscuridad que le imprime Gallup.
