- Today we celebrate Robert Smith's 63rd birthday!
Robert James Smith (born 21 April 1959) is an English singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer. He is best known as the lead singer, guitarist, primary songwriter, and only continuous member of the rock band the Cure, which he co-founded in 1978. He was also the lead guitarist for the band Siouxsie and the Banshees from 1982 to 1984, and was part of the short-lived group the Glove in 1983
This is a very rare recording by Gothic rock/ post punk rock band The Cure in the original line-up with Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Matthieu Hartley, and Lol Tolhurst on the TROS TOP50 TV program on July 3, 1980. Simon and Robert have exchanged their instruments in this video with Simon playing guitar and Robert playing bass.
This tape was recently discovered in the vaults of AVROTROS and we are very happy to present the full version now for the first time since the first broadcast in 1980.
This is the long version of the video that we released some months ago! It was broadcast on the same day as the 'Play For today' video.

I cry each time that I hear this masterpiece
It's strange how the high quality video makes you feel like you are there even though its nearly half a century ago.
young smith the cure🤗
So shy, so cute Robert was...
Such a Gorgeous song and of course He Is an Absolute musical genius with all the fantastic songs he came out with even after this. Never Ever tire of...The Cure.😉😍
I love all their tracks but this one is beyond special. The sheer poetry and angst in the lyrics
I have it on cassette from when it was in the charts introduced by the DJ Richard Skinner.
i'm 51, and it surprises me that Robert Smith once looked like a guy you would pass on the street and think nothing of.
I always think he looks like a young Ben Affleck. It’s the chin.
Whereas now he looks like your demented auntie.....
Oh my gosh, so young
Zer gut!!
long life The Cure
The CURE and Robert Smith are timeless now ! They are great and winners. I will always love their haunting sound ! I discovered this fabulous band when I was 13 or 14. Now I'm 56 and I still do love their musical legacy ! They still rule the world and new generation !
Bellissimo! Come erano giovani ❤
Mr. Smith incredibly
handsome 😍😘😘😘😘
So young, so weird, so good
A you5hful me, sitting in mt room, writing fantasy novels with this playing in my headphones...
Ahah j’adore ce playback avec Simon à la guitare et Robert à la bass….
Británicos!!! Salgan de donde estén y acaben con el maldito Reguetón y música de banda.... Ustedes tienen la grandeza en la sangre. 👏👏👏👏🎶🎶🎶
The MASTERPIECE of the CURE and Robert Smith ! Even if I love all their songs ! They were so young and I was a teenager. Time waits for nobody. Time is cruel
Here is gold forrever
uf éramos tan jóvenes! qué época maravillosa
*edit*
Lo ve Steve Harris tocar así y le da sopapo en los dientes
A very Happy Birthday to Robert Smith!!
This song is still awesome in 2022!
that time we ran into a bear in a remote part of Canada and all I could think about yelling was “into the trees!”
My favorite The Cure song................... greetings of Perú..
⭐ The Cure - "Fantastic" 👍 A forest, the beat, the sounds, the text, the video - the essayistic style inspired my life and career in the Federal Republic from the 80s onwards in an artistic way, all alone and again and again where there is nothing left.⚡🎓
Wow I never knew what a brilliant bass player Robert Smith was.
He's clearly playing out of time, out of tune and on a detuned bass, but the bass sounds absolutely fine! Only a true master can do that!
They didn't hide their disstain for lip syncing.. . Scorpions did that too. Prince on American bandstand. They sounded better live than the studio versions. Back then executives made them play to the actual song.
It is playback, is lip sync, and it was required by the show
:))) I love it!
@@ralphhughes7250 nirvana did too. that was epic too.
Imagens e sons que parecem ser de uma outra dimensão.
Ainda é cedo da Legião urbana mama descaradamente. Mas ainda pela versão da Marina. apesar de gostar de todas, a genialidade está nessa.
Baby Robert!!! ❤️
A Forest and Just like heaven
...TOP
Happy Birthday Robert Smith great artist and musician
This song reminds me of the movie "Bridge To Terabithia" Two young teens, Leslie Berk and Jessie Aarons go into the forest and create this freaky Magical Paradise that no one can see but them.This song takes you to another dimension!
Happy Thursday... thank you for sharing! 💖
That is one of my favorite movie!!
@@cloudberry555 Me too! I just watched it a few weeks ago. I still get just as emotional! Thank you for sharing! Have a Wonderful Day! 💖
@@that70sgirl90 it was summer in 2016 when i first watched that movie, i was 11 yrs old that time, i remember myself crying n punching my chair when i found out what happened to Jesse.. still cant get over it til now. i hate the ending but i like the movie and ofc, the characters, i was amazed abt how my name kinda related to the name of the two characters in the movie (Jesse&Leslie) haha! love em. :) .

The MASTERPIECE of The CURE !
Love the song and performance!
performance is playback
@@BerrieBadslof of course it is.
The band's disdain (and particularly Smith's) is probably the most goth thing that has happened on Dutch TV hahaha
Robert was awesome since kid
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
A timeless classic!! What a song!!!
Forever in my heart, Robert Smith and The Cure! Happy Birthday.
Inesquecível década de oitenta adoro 🎵🎶🎼🎹🎧 parabéns som inesquecível🤙
I HAD 10 IN 1980
GRANDIOSOS!!..🌟🎧🤩👌🎶
É uma viagem no tempo essa música
Роберт был очень красивым в молодости
Вы 1993г рождения?
Já nos primeiros acordes me arrepiei.
Que qualidade musical, que vibe sensacional! Muita saudade disso tudo.
Its fun to see that the strings of the bass guitar are completely relaxed, and what Robert Smith play is completely different that what you hear. But it is a great song however.
Modern for 2022
Super music
A happy birthday to Robert Smith, the legend and also to the Wish album 🎉
Classic cure 👍👀
One of the best tracks from the cure!
Clássico emocionante e inesquecível!!!! Longa vida a Robert Smith!!!!
This was the first bass line I learnt. Why's Simon Gallup playing a 6 string guitar with knackered strings and Rob Smith playing bass?
About to ask that, mate... indeed, why are those strings tangled up?
Pretty sure its a recording and they aren’t actually playing, the bass strings are also very loose
Muito bom excelente 👏👏👏 parabéns pelo vídeo 👏👏👏 parabéns
Sooo 80ísch.. playbacking on a tv pop show nog really giving a f... great song still..
D.
The Cure live op Pinkpop 2019 , 3voor 12 ,ook een echte aanrader 😎
Какая милая фанера))
Primórdios da banda muito louco Robert
👍👏
Robert Smith tão jovem, ainda não havia adotado aquele visual que se tornaria uma marca dele.
Un des meilleurs de groupe New Wave
Le meilleur
🖤🔥🎸🖤🔥🖤
Great new wave band...!!!
En weer een bijzondere video met werkelijk vreselijk mono geluid! Dit is overduidelijk playback, dus kun je het geluid eenvoudig voorzien van een stereotrack, zoals gedaan wordt bij bijna alle andere Toppop videos. Waarom deze dan niet?
Legend
A fase mais dark da banda, adoro!!!!!!
Boy, he looks different...
The fake bass strumming is, shall we say, just like heaven. 😁
Anyone notice Robert and Simon had swapped guitars ?
By playback
Yea me too😭 pretty sure it a recording and they aren’t actually playing tho
Te amo, The Cure.
🖤
Viva os anos 80!!!! Nunca mais teremos a alegria de ouvirmos músicas de qualidade.
You've got that right.
This is Robert Smith 😳
MAJORCOOL !
Ben Affleck? Great song by The Cure.
OOOOOH SIN MAQUILLAJE ROBERTO QUEDABA MÁS ENIGMÁTICO ( ME FASCINA ESTÁ LETRA , CÓMO CANCIÓN 🤷🙄🤦TERRIBLE PLAY BACK * AÚN ASÍ , MÚSICOS MARAVILLOSOS TENÍA ROBERTO * MIS PREFERIDOS ( LOVECAST ,THE FOREST AND THE LOVE SONG😬😳👍🎶🎧💐♥️😔🇦🇷I ❤️ THE CURE 🎶♥️🙃💚🌲🌲🌲)
Happy Birthday Robert!!!🎂 I don't think he likes being born on the same day that Queen Elizabeth II was born, since he has always declared himself anti-monarchist. Well, it's just a joke, it's just a coincidence that they both have the same birthday. Happy Birthday to you!!! And I love young Robert
It's a pitty they are doing playback.
He was so cute without the bad hair and makeup
Must be Winter or Spring of 80.
Amo o The Cure ❤❤❤
