Who ever yelled FIRE IN CAIRO then Mr Smith says yeah this is called Fire in Cairo.. legendary

[@estrelladeotoño]

😍🤤🤭🔥💯💖💗 I love Robert Smith's voice, the timbre of his voice is so tender and rocking.

[@tedgegi155]

Can hear Simon's bass loud and clear even with my 78 year old ears.😁

[@RitaRiley-w4d]

Such a longing? Such a long end! Pure genius! Young and rebellious ❤

[@melissawells5779]

I loved their last remark. Don’t here much about Palmer these days. The Cure they’re still doing it ❤❤❤

[@melissawells5779]

Typo hear

[@lupus2252]

Well, Palmer died in 2003.

[@Michael-TJ]

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff, but it's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough

[@davidleewrath6919]

"Fire in Cairo" sounds KILLER!

[@gregordvs]

Robert, Lol, Simon Gallup? Great lineup.

[@black-capped6702]

Of course friend

[@douglasarthur2673]

Once heard Robert Smith say "It's simple really but you've gotta have the songs". Man do they have 'the songs'.

[@brademerick7539]

[@lament1982]

The full video of this show needs to be uploaded. It's an amazing faith tour show. Totally worth finding on cd.

[@f1collector177]

Another version of this does exist, with Funeral Party and A Forest (re-broadcasted by belgian television in 2000). I'm still searching for that video.

[@RuthKanatser]

For so many years The Cure has given us a home. No matter where you are or where they're playing they've been a home. For all the misfits, for the lost and the broken hearted a soft place to land in a beautiful sanctuary. I hope you know what you mean to people. More importantly I hope it was as good for you as it is for us. Thank you

Poi passati gli anni 80" quella casa accogliente di pensieri solitario,unici che pochi possono apprendere se non vivi quel contesto anni 80", è cambiata...Mandato via Lol è cambiata l'aria, è diventata più commerciale,aumentando di concerti e di notorietà,quella notorietà che Smith cercava per se stesso, perché devi sapere che Smith era anche un produttore musicale e quando ci sono di mezzo i milioni di dollari,non spiccioletti presi come in questo concerto, tutto diventa....commerciale !!! Dopo questo concerto, proprio questo,guardati bene i primi video sulla neonata MTV e poi scrivimi....

Do you know all he says? I can only understand “it’s time to make a slow song fast” and “such a long end”

Gracias, gracias muchas gracias saludos 🖤🏴 ...

[@Mobilitydnb]

I think I read somewhere that Robert Palmers crew actually kicked their asses afterwards. I guess mr. Palmer wasn't amused with the long end, the final remark also didn't help :P But damn, they were so good back then! Still my favourite line-up, Lol Tolhurst wasn't the most technically accomplished drummer by a stretch, but he obviously didn't get the respect he deserved. His playstyle fitted their sound so well.

[@nolanatlsmusic9067]

thanks for the upload and also great channel name. "Here's a man..."

[@LONEEAGLE_space_rock]

I saw them here in new zealand, Dunedin, in 1980, there was about 500 drunk students, rainy night, the sound system was crystal clear, Incredible, they played a Forest and blinded the audience with blue lights couldn't see a dam thing

[@TravisBickle1963]

Wow!..... Great time to have seen them and a rare show at that.... Do you have an audio of that show?

[@LONEEAGLE_space_rock]

@@TravisBickle1963 no, but there are gigs from the Australian leg of the same tour. I bought the album seventeen seconds in a department store, I consider the album a minimalist sonic Masterpiece. But back then the context was so different, the post punk scene was just starting to gain a foothold, it sounded very new, ground -breaking. Punk had broken down all musical barriers and hundreds of bands were emerging, anything seemed possible. The scene was perfectly synchronised and with us being in our 20s, Incredible, the 80s were phenomenal

[@TravisBickle1963]

They didn't play near me until late 1981 and I can't say I enjoyed it that much.... Would love to have seen them that bit earlier as it would've been my perfect setlist.

[@LONEEAGLE_space_rock]

@@TravisBickle1963 did they have Mathieu Hartley on keyboards, they did when I saw them, but maybe he had gone when you saw them in 81.

[@TravisBickle1963]

Always amazes me how people remember such specific details..... I'll be honest I've never heard of him! Robert Smith was in the band.... no idea who else lol

[@8BitAtari]

Man, do I ever hear a lot of early REM in these songs.😮

[@domusoscella3602]

😮🎉

[@randy6090]

The bassist is Simon Gallup ?...i don't believe.

[@reddays8448]

Didn’t they played like 14 songs or something like that

[@TravisBickle1963]

This was all that was broadcast.

[@reddays8448]

ohhhhh I thought they broadcasted the whole set

It was the 05 of july, not in january !!!

[@TravisBickle1963]

You're absolutely correct! and from those days in the 80's when I thought Werchter was German because it sounded German (to me anyway) but now I'm older and more knowledgeable (well I have Google) so I know Werchter is in Belgium and the programme itself was broadcast on Dutch TV and here's A Forest in better quality...
