The Cure - Fire In Cairo live in Werchter 1981

[@black_kitten27]

Robert Smith is absolutely GORGEOUS in this video

[@mamadevineal]

That’s what I said to one of my 2000s Taylor friends and she said that he was ugly

[@mamadevineal]

But he’s not, if anything he looks better than his older self

[@mamadevineal]

Plus I just like his songs in general. I also learned this song in fact

[@whatheavensaid]

Yes! And he's dressed a little like Jimi Hendrix, one of The Cure's musical influences!!

[@anthonyrippa686]

​@mamadevineal don't we all?

[@thedamnedrose6665]

Mr smith looks rather bloody gorgeous here.

[@sevensix4538]

Absolutely! But he always is

[@nigelblockhead80]

Those high waist band trousers are a bit off putting though

I like this version even better than the studio version!

gothmoth64 OMG same, it's so much more lively than the one on the actual record

Yup. I wonder if Mary did his makeup here. Lol.

Honestly🥴

Hes pretty

[@stefanotoccafondi8093]

This is before the ridiculous and still lasting paintface period

[@ava-tb3cw]

This version is absolute perfection

[@alanferdman9516]

Live version is faster and more Punk than the Studio version...Like It !!

[@renehaagsma6107]

I was there. Only 12 years old. Good old times..

[@ericbonin3054]

a 58 ans ..j avais donc 15 ans a cette époque et les cures restent pour moi un groupe légendaire et encore aujourd hui...paris octobre 2024

[@richardfitt]

I love the drum sound of Lawrence Tolhurst. Excellent, puncy, alive! very different from the sound of Jason....

[@hollyinhell]

This is the first time I have ever heard anyone not talk shit about how he doesn't totally suck...as if every drummer can be Neil Pert.

[@PassengersMusic777]

He’s a good competent drummer for where they were during that period. Lol was a better keyboardist. He does good drum fills

[@LordTormentor]

This drummer is on point, his timing was perfect for this song especially sped up compared to the original

[@GothicDamien666]

Slowly fading blue The eastern hollows Catch the dying sun Night-time follows Silence and black Mirror pool Mirrors of the lonely place Where I meet you See your head In the fading light Through the dark Your eyes shine bright And burn Like fire Burn like fire in Cairo Burn like fire Burn like fire in Cairo Shifting crimson veil Silken hips Slide under my hand Swollen lips Whisper My name And I yearn Take me in your arms And start to burn FIREINCAIRO FIREINCAIRO FIREINCAIRO Then the heat disappears And the mirage Fades away FIREINCAIRO FIREINCAIRO FIREINCAIRO FIREINCAIRO FIREINCAIRO FIREINCAIRO FIREINCAIRO FIREINCAIRO Burn like a fire in Cairo Burn like a Fire Blaze like a fire in Cairo Blaze like a Fire Flare Burn like fire Burn like Fire in Cairo

[@janiquevaillot8554]

Thanks a lot for the lyrics. A true fan of The CURE since I was a teenager

[@ThiagoSilva-sx2cw]

Best version ever. Robert Smith looks nice :D

[@mravo1997]

Early Cure were so fresh! Just guitar, bass and drums...When less is better 🌟

[@francescoriccioli4326]

Well is the typical sound of early Cure (it also depends on the track)...anyway after during years, more effects (chorus, flanger, delay) will come but the atmosphere will be still awesome

[@dianeevans8215]

i never knew they were so good and Robert is so cute!

[@billhickok21]

This concert 1981 in Werchter included this epic "A Forrest" moment as last song of this gig. Must seen! **hust** Mr Palmer

[@tomkruze1304]

I've known about The Cure for 25 years, but never really listened to them. I was missing out, so amazing ❤

Great guitar player back in 81. Amazing.

Q buenísimo verte robert, gracias a la bendita tecnología, pensar q en mi adolescencia inicié con vinilos, después cassettes, después parecía desde mi opinión personal la gloria el CD , y ahí me quedo, ...poder vivir los cambios junto a tu banda favorita. Desde la panza soy dark 1975 nací con ellos, luego avanzó la fk tecnología. Hasta los CD acompaño a sangre fría y oscura, pero los pude ver por primera vez otoño viernes 13 abril "mi sueño hecho realidad " nacer juntos y en aquel fk estadio d ferro crrl O. No pude ir a hacerles el aguante y von todo mis amigos d Paraná City ....
