      @@johnperkins4611 That's the 1981 version at the Werchter festival. Robert Palmer was up next, and they told them to get off, so they kept playing (and the song ends with the infamous F Robert Palmer, F Rock and Roll from Simon). That is what started the extended versions of the song - but the've had other songs they would do this with. The unreleased song All Mine was an extended jam that changed every time they played it.

    While you can
    Come closer and see
    See into the dark
    Just follow your eyes
    Just follow your eyes
    I hear her voice
    Calling my name
    The sound is deep
    In the dark
    I hear her voice
    And start to run
    Into the trees
    Into the trees
    Into the trees
    Suddenly I stop
    But I know it's too late
    I'm lost in a forest
    All alone
    The girl was never there
    It's always the same
    I'm running towards nothing
    Again and again and again and again...
    She said "could you take me home tonight?

    It's the only way I know.

Certainly an excellent rendition of one of The Cure's greatest songs A Forest originally released as a single in 1980. The song has been played live over 1,000 times so it has been there done that. My favorite Cure song is 'Primary'. We Kiwis [New Zealanders] love our Cure. Thank you The Cure for touring here on several occasions it is greatly appreciated.
