Seventeen Seconds (1980), Faith (1981) and Pornography (1982): if they’d done nothing else, they’d have been talked about for One Hundred Years.
Those are my three favourite Cure albums - by a country mile. For, they are the band's true "trilogy".
Very true.
Something about this room makes it appear as if they are inside a dollhouse.
Most probably the greatest trilogy in music history. Legendary for those who know
Yeah but then they did in concert in 87 one of the sublime-est songs ever written: Snakepit.
Dark, Abrasive, Minimal, Emotive, Beautiful. My favourite Cure period ❤
me too
Don't forget Hopeless..
Opresive Depresive
That will never leave you!❤
Minimalistic indeed❤
The early Cure era just gets better and better with each decade that passes. Nobody else would dare make music like this nowadays - or, if they did, it would be ignored. How lucky we were to grow up in those times.
What's that about no one making music like that these days? ;))
Ih they make music like that, it just doesn''t get acknowledge anymore.
@@KeimpeJ Too true, maybe one day though!

Thank you
Thank you for the timestamps ❣️❣️
FYI - "Killing an Arab" (inspired by Albert Camus' L'Étranger) is now sung as "Killing Another".
They seem much more ‘together’ to me in that Australian interview than one would expect from this particular period. At least from all I’ve read and heard about that era. They all seemed very lucid and clear.
Not sure what I was expecting. Drooling and vomiting? I dunno. 🤣🤣🤣
The effect that hearing a piece of music can have on the mind is incredible. I clicked on the video, and heard the first few beats, and IMMEDIATELY was transported back to 1982! I can remember spending the night at my friends house, and being in his basement, playing that record (which was actually his oldest sisters) and trying to look cool by smoking cigarettes (which we stole from the older sister too)! Some of my greatest memories are from the 80’s.
Opening song...so dark...so awesome. The Curw back then....always on my walkman everywere I went.
Same. Had just moved to London and would go upstairs in the bus and just roll around the city and trip out. It felt so good
The songs are so heavy and sad in these versions. The unrelenting sensation of doom in the album is really expressed. I love it!
Insane how Robert Smith was in his early to mid-20s writing these masterpieces and performing them with a 3-piece band!!!
The Beatles wrote better masterpieces in their early 20s. Paul wrote some when he was 16. So, insane? No.
Haha, so no matter how great someones' art is, you can basically always say: Nah, this person did it better at a younger age. What a terrible argument.
@@michaelsuder486 This is way more interesting than any twee beatles rubbish
The first song is so awesome..
I haven't watch much more after yet... Plan too but I have a a lot of plans too watch quied up waiting...
But the 1st song he looks like a young Bob Dylan. Wonder if he's a Bob love child?? Ha!
@@timtrefz5450 Bob Dylan?
don't see it.
Sadly, no Strange Day. But this compilation is incredible for old fans. Thank you very much. Pornography is one of the better LP ever made. My grandparents, passed away for years, offered me this album for my 10th birthday (yes I listened to The Cure at 10), remember the day like yesterday. And I still listen to it at 50.
Agree. A strange day is my favourite...
Hell of a gift from grandparents to a 10 year old kid! Your grands sound like they were very progressive. My grandparents gifted me little Jimmy Osmond’s “Long Haired Lover From Liverpool” single when I was little… just for contrast and comparison. 🤣
Kool..Generation X
LOL. My Mum and Dad got me 17 seconds for Christmas when I was 13. When I played it later that day my dad was like "what the hell's that gloomy racket?" They obviously had no idea who The Cure were. It's quite an antidote to the Daniel O'Donnel and Cliff Richard that they listened to.
My favorite too.
The Figurehead is a masterpiece!!!
I had forgotten just how good it is
It keeps reminding you, pornography is a HARD album
Epic - as a sensitive teenager with musical proclivities living in the neglect of full-blown survival mode with no clue how to process emotions - this music was a steady companion. I am forever grateful.
glad you made it
When this album came out I felt I'd finally found a band that understood what I was going through. Changed my life.
Beautifully put! Same!
🤘🏼
Many more GenZs are plunging into despondency by the day now, where you dare n care reach out, "your not alone", breathe, dare to blow thru the creeping malaise~~》
Absolutely loved this album … figurehead, cold, a strange day, short term effect… drums bass and guitar all unique and brutal
+ Charlotte Sometimes
Robert Smith once told an interviewer that fans he meets whose favorite Cure record is Pornography are by far the most interesting.
This is my only song as my life goes down to the depths of what I may never have the strength to crawl out of..
Damn makes sense
5@@samanthanorth5882
Oh God, they were all such cuties back then. Getting old sucks !
One of the best albums of all time
Where Joy Division started The Cure finished. Seventeen Seconds... Faith, when Pornography came out it was the absolute pinnacle of sound - lights out, shine - The Trilogy lives.
Disintegration was fantastic too.

It's Fri, Oct 13th...it's raining and cold, and today is my late mom's birthday. Somehow this being recommended to me right now is perfect. ❤
It's getting dark and it feels like rain
And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world
And I feel so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead
Thanks for sharing. Got something of this on an old ruined videotape but something is brand new to my eyes! How many memories it unveiled, how many feelings…I was in my 16-18 when I discovered The Cure…it was 1987-1989…they donated so much power and self confidence to me…a shy boy that deeply found himself in dressing in black and expressing his innermost soul without being feared of nothing, with this music acting like an armour. Thank you for these songs, so deep, so sad but so chrysalis-effect at the same time.
we are the same age, discovering the band around the same time period. It is nice to know the experience is shared in those special years of youth, and the power of their stories over the past decades just keep getting better.
Thank you so much. It is really hard to find stuff from the Pornography era. Saw them in Hamburg back then. Till this day one of the greatest gigs I‘ve ever seen.
wow, that must be a great memory. I didn't see them live until 1992, and I thought that was their last tour. I am so thankful they continue.
Hey dirk,,.biste im Oktober dann auch dabei,..the cure live,.barclay arena??
@@_-_-_-Prof.BoskoBiathi-_-_-_ Ich lebe in Berlin, überlege noch. 130,- Euro die günstigsten Karten. Pornography gab es für 15,- DM😎
Until very recently, yes it was definitely a struggle finding any kind of footage or even photos from the Pornography era (which was actually pretty short-lived, but *VERY* intense). For some reason, lately there’s been a flood of stuff from that elusive little period. I don’t question it. I’m just glad it’s happening and I spend as much time as I can enjoying it. I was already into The Cure during that period, but I grew up in a region of the USA where they didn’t tour until ‘84, and though it was only two years later, they were a completely different band by then. Literally.
So, this stuff is priceless to me. It scratches an itch that has been nagging me for over 40 years.
Thanks for this. Way too little material from this wonderfully dark record on CZcams.
Pornography is by far their darkest,second being faith. This is great stuff. Haunting vocals with the tempo of the bass,guitar and drums
Figurehead feels Joy Divisiony
Faith has the BASS
Totally agree. Alternative haunting soundscape of the 80's. If you know you know
That whole three album run, beginning with Seventeen Seconds and culminating with Pornography is basically a three-stage descent into the darkness (with Pornography being basically a free-fall). After Pornography there was nowhere left to go but into the light. I’ve heard many people use Pornography as a reference point for later albums, but I just don’t hear it, at all. It was a one of a kind, “use once and self-destruct” album that can never be replicated or repeated. I still have difficulty even to this day trying to explain the magnitude of it to the unconverted.
Faith is bloody brilliant. There is one song I dislike (Doubt) but the rest are magic. All Cats Are Grey and Funeral Party are just sublime.
In the 80s, we had to be lucky to see those performances, mostly for us living in Canada where European stuff were very rarely broadcast. Just a little things here and there... Now with those gems uploaded on CZcams, I feel like I'm getting a lot of things that I missed on that era. It's so amazing... Thanks for channels like Definitive Cure for sharing all that. ❤❤
I was blown away the first time I heard this record. I was already a Cure fan but the heavy, marching rhythm and dark psychedelic vibe of Pornography was something else entirely - and something I identified with immediately. I've always held this record (alongside PiL's Metal Box) as an all-time favorite and among the era's best, and both had massive influence upon me as a listener and as a player. I rarely listen to this stuff anymore, but when I do I still get chills. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you so much for the compilation ! I still cannot believe how creative Robert Smith was at such a young age... My favorite band ever !!!
This was the album that introduced me to The Cure and it still stands as my favorite
Every era of The Cure is always fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
To me just their early era, after Pornography they went poppy, but their heavy album from 2004 I like very much.
@@RPNizationI’m not telling you what to like, but to simply and casually dismiss everything they did after Pornography as “poppy” is an extremely oversimplified generalization. It was far less morose, yes. A few more major chords for sure, but it was still a far cry from Duran Duran. What really happened after Pornography was that Bob had taken things as far into the darkness as possible. There was nowhere left to go but into the light, and even then he was still dishing out the occasional ‘dark’ dirge (Lament, Just One Kiss). He had purged his demons and it was time to move on to something new and different, so that’s what he did. I definitely prefer the ’80-‘82 stuff to what came later, but I don’t just write it all off as fluffy pop. An album like Head On The Door was an extremely diverse range of different styles, all tied together with Bob’s signature style of songwriting. It wasn’t just your standard 80’s pop.
@@Shikta-poobah67 you might be right there, but much of their post-1982 stuff doesn't really interest me anymore, with the exception of their 2004 album.
The most gothic of Smith’s albums. I was too young for Pornography when it released but after hearing Disintegration for the first time and having my mind blown I immediately got my hands on every disk I could and this will always be my favourite.
To me this (Pornography) always transcended goth. It’s really in it’s own unique category. I mean yes, obviously some *VERY* ‘goth’ overtones, but it goes even deeper than that. It’s the sound of total dark catharsis. It’s the sound of a man purging his many demons.
It's not Goth, never was. Its anger and frustration moulded in the best of songs.
Wait until you hear the new Album. 🙄
@@Shikta-poobah67 To be fair, he said "gothic", not "goth". The term "gothic" does not necessarily have to be used in a generic sense.
@@Albrecht777 To be fair (since we’re splitting hairs), the term “gothic”, when taken in its literal context, is something that pertains mainly to a style of architecture. There is no direct link to music. The closest it comes is to describe a literary style, defined as:
“of or relating to a style of fiction characterized by the use of desolate or remote settings and macabre, mysterious, or violent incidents”
In that sense, I suppose one could interpret that particular definition conjures up some of the same imagery that the lyrics and music contained in Pornography do, but I think it’s fairly obvious that’s not what the OP was going for. Then again I don’t profess to speak for the OP. I think it’s only fair that he/she should probably speak for himself/herself, don’t you?
Wow the first song…best post punk song I’ve heard I think. Epic with feel and musicianship
This is amazing footage! One of my favourite eras of a great band
I saw the Cure at Elephant Fayre in Cornwall in 82 or 83? Anyway it was a wild time in Britain with free festivals.I took a lot lsd and mushrooms and when the Cure played they wore masks and seemed as tripped out as the audience who were all crazy .I don’t think people now would believe how out there life in the British counter culture was
Sounds pretty awesome to be honest.
I was at the last free Stonehenge festival. Thatcher's Police troops were fighting Scargill's miners in The North. It was the end of an era and a birth of anew.
In 1982 I was 9 years old. My dad played a lot of this early stuff Joy Division, U2, The Cure, Killing Joke etc.. amazing.. of course I couldn't admit I liked it back in the day.. went metalhead instead just to annoy him ;-) but later kept coming back to this era.
Не люблю металлистов, но тебя понимаю и принимаю!
I hope your father welcame back his Prodigal Son ...
Me 2.now metal seems so crass compared to so many bands that I like now from this Era n beyond..had to find out 4 myself
40 years later I still can't get over these beautiful, moving dark melodies of death . Their peak.
I nvr gave these guys the time of day in the early 80s when i was in high school when i was into floyd and rush and sabbath etc. I still listen to all those , but I listen to the CURE a lot now, and musically id put him on a shortlist of most consistently underrated guys. Additionally, who else can write both such sad and such happy songs? In short, I dont think anyone….ever
I'm obsessed with this album
I just LOVE The Cure....❤
Wow what a great upload - thanks!!! Don't think I've seen Robert play the synth before... What a great album Pornography is, absolutely phenomenal!
Timeless compilation for a timeless band. The Cure is like no other!
That is the essence of the cure, as far as i knew & adored them in my teenage years in the late 80s.
Thank you so much for writing the song names
Love how you added Short Term Effect at the end, even though it isn't video. Their best ever song imho, and the Paris version from '82 might just be the best version too. I saw them in Australia a couple of times prior to '82, then I moved to London in '83. As such, I missed the Pornography tour, which remains a regret. As far as I know, they never played this song live again until Trilogy, and that version is just nothing compared to this. Thanks for the effort that went into all of this.
yeah, they never played Short Term Effect again until the Trilogy shows, which was a shame as it's an excellent song!
The closest time they came to playing it was probably during the Prayer Tour for Disintegration in 1989.....they always had the second encore (of three played) that was almost a mystery where they would slot in songs that would see a couple of airings.....stuff like All Cats Are Grey, The Holy Hour, It's Not You, Accuracy, etc.
The July 24th show from that tour in 1989 saw them play their last gig at Wembley Arena.....since the word going around by Robert at that time was that Disintegration was going to be the last Cure album....this was going to be the last show in London.....so they pulled out all of the stops for that show......slipped in some extra songs during soundcheck and played what was then their longest show they ever did...something like 40* songs, I think. They played Siamese Twins for the only time since 1983....until the Bloodflowers tour in 2000.
* - EDIT: I just double-checked....35 songs! But the show ran over three hours....almost 200 minutes.
I used to have the whole show on 3 cdr's back in the day.....but now you can find it on FLAC if you know where such music can be had, lol. Good sounding audience tape too! I know for a fact that the band recorded the show professionally, maybe they'll put it out one of these days....that'd be cool!
@@furnitureconsortium I bought the Wembley show on the 23rd on cassette from a record store in Ft Lauderdale back in like 1991 I think it was. Still have it somewhere. I love that show. Holy Hour is a personal fave. I just checked setlists, and noticed that the American tour ended the shows that year, and saw that if they had decided to break up, at least they ended the final show outside of Boston with Forever, which would have been a fitting song to go out on. We should keep our eye on the festivals in South America to see if they close one with Forever as that surely would be the death knell for them playing live anymore.
I went to a few of the Pornography UK shows, and had bootlegs of 90%. Bristol is the nest Short Term Effect by far. Loved them in 80-82, hated them after when RS became a Prat.
This is terrific! Thanks for uploading. Love it!!!
you're welcome, I'm glad you like it.
Thank you so much for uploading this! This is my favourite The Cure era and by uploading this you made my day
In the earliest days of CZcams as a tween getting into goth/new wave music I remember all these videos scattered around the site, just really transfixed and these being the first instances of me REALLY appreciating music, really having "my" band... its definitely some very challenging stuff, and IMO the most "goth" The Cure has ever been as I find them more to be a unique blend of all sorts of sounds and styles and never really easy to categorize.
This is such a great collection of videos from that period of The Cure.
I cant believe it.. Is that seriously more than 40 Years ago??? I remember that i walk to the Record Shop to buy the Pornography LP as it comes out.. And i got it til today..
Particularly enjoyed this loved this Cure era. They always have super cool great hairdo s too...Loved the Figurehead version they just dont write songs like that anymore
Yea. This whole album is FIRE!!
Love the dark dark dark vibe.
The new stuff coming they have the new album very disintegration, a New darker than pornography album, and A solo album by robert..all in the works, so 3 in total ..I cant wait to hear them ..He will bring back that good ol maudlin feeling ..
@sycksyngyrl hard to recreate that feel of those 80s albums when you've been a multi-millionaire the last 30+ years and almost 60+ years old.
Lsd, weed and Youthful angst created those dark productions of the past we all love.
@@sycksyngyrl Cant wait to be depressed lol
@@sycksyngyrl which means one album will come out. I've learned to temper my expectations. Every time I'm told that multiple things will come out, it is always just one. The last time they made good on the promise was Lost Wishes in 1992 and even that was supposed to be a full album of instrumentals, haha.
Thank you for posting this video. It's soo good✌️
My favorite era of The Cure ❤
Great compilation - thanks!!
Wow this is amazing - thanks! Just saw them in Boston and Robert and the band still sound incredible. ❤️🖤
indeed, i was there too. a bit too heavy with head on the door, though. the night before in monteal had some stuff from faith, pornography, wild mood swings and 4:13 dream.
His voice has held up really well for his age and they are musically as good as ever. It’s funny, the self titled album by the cure that came out in 04 or 2006, as some of the heaviest stuff ever! There’s definitely one track that is absolutely the heaviest cure track I’ve ever heard!
Love the dark psychedelia of it
The cure en su estado puro, material invaluable
Love seeing Lol on drums❤
He was definitely a better drummer than he was a keyboardist, that’s for sure. I mean, he was no Ginger Baker, but he played drums with a lot of heart, and he had this signature style of playing where you could hear a second or two of his beats and immediately know it was him. It was perfect for what they were going for at the time. That whole cold, dark, minimalist thing.
He also kind of gave Budgie a run for his money on Pornography. Really pulled the tribal thing off beautifully.
The Best The Cure Era for me!
The violin loves his melodies.
The purity of their age. The heaviness of really. Des garçon. I remember the chords. His voice. Bass line. Drum. I knew I'd be okay.
The Cure Gold! Love it 💙💙💙😍
The Cure. Music of my teenage years. I feel incredibly grateful for theirs great work. Simply speaking I love them so much.
Best time for the Cure ... miss it so much
Si jeunes et déjà si créatifs et plein de poésie ! ❤ Si jeunes et déjà si talentueux ❤❤❤ j'avais 15 ou 16 ans. Leur son se reconnaît dès les 1ères notes. Love Robert Smith 's voice and the great bassline of Simon Gallup❤
Simon on Cold though! Had no idea he played those tones with his foot while playing bass! 😍😍
Another great bassist that did this before Simon was Geddy Lee in Rush.. that guy was playing 2-3 instruments at the same time. Unreal.
I noticed him playing some beautiful melodies w that Ricky n pedals
yes but I'm sure Simon never did it for attention like prog does
Merci! The video is a gem of history, the sound of a 3 piece band makes it rather cold in comparison to this last tour in 2023, the sound is bleak and cold. It matches the songs feel, perhaps it was that cold war era that made everything seem so gloomy. I've never seen RS play the keyboards either, or Lol speak in an interview. Back than Robert had a full head of hair and it was magnificent, so young and just barely tasting their success. It seems so long ago. Well it was truly a pleasure to watch these clips in particular Siamese Twins with the violins and the ballet dancers, what a beautiful mix. I also enjoyed the animation of A Short Term Effect. It reminded me of Tool's Sober video.
The times really didn’t factor into it that much (the cold gloomy vibe), as much as Robert’s own personal demons he was battling at the time. He was in his early 20’s, having an existential meltdown, and coping with it by dropping copious amounts of LSD. This is all according to his own personal accounts and recollections. It had very little to do with anything going on in the world. It was all extremely personal in nature.
🙄 I'm not surprised by your insight wow! I feel for everyone who's own success have brought so much pain
@@Shikta-poobah67
Thank you for this gift. I love this period of the band. Cold is truly amazing.
You're welcome, glad you liked it. It's a shame there isn't more footage from this era.
@@thedefinitivecure9298 There is way more from Pornography than there is from Faith, minus that one terrible bootleg, anyway. Sure there are some playback versions of Primary but nothing like L'Echo with the 6 songs. The one recording in New York with 2 songs is the best we have from Faith. And oddly enough, we don't have much outside of bootlegs from Disintegration, either. There had to be some place that recorded a chunk of a show. MTV vaults, anyone?
Excellent performance of Play For Today !
Very cool. Thanks for putting this together. I’ve been interested in the band during this time period
Wow. This is great!!! Thanks for posting.
Having searched for anything on the cure in 83. Mostly only the French press spoke much of them. To have had this. Just perfect. It's just got Better. Merci Robert. Lol. Simon. As always. All a constant. #stephansong
Whoa! Insanely cool footage! Thanks for sharing! Cold left me cold! 'Your name like ice, into my heart'
One of my favourite all time bands ….unique and beautiful ❤
Unique & authentic drumplay!
one of my favorite albums of all time! so Robert IS playing a bass 6 on primary !
I'm not one who really cares a jot about the rock and roll hall of fame, but when they do the inductions my wife likes to watch so I watch it with her. I remember Robert's speech and he seemed like he was getting choked up, and he talked about Simon he said "he's been there EVERY.STEP.OF.THE.WAY". I found that really touching. Watching this made me think of that. I don't know anybody...save for my brother and sister that I knew in 1982. : ( : ) : ( :) happy sad happy sad
My/our era of the Cure....fantastic performances.....
I Remember back in the day,like 88,for me,I was in California,in the service and I befriended,this short little Goth dude,with Jet Black Hair,and a pierced nose.He was Playing,Pornography on a cassette tape.l told him that I dug the Cure,and saw them on MtV,back in 82,for I Want To Go To Bed,video.He records me with my heavily stereo chorused effects and delays on the guitar,with a tape recorder.Came back the next day with the Sampled music Into something Totally different,and Amazing!I Bet This Guy Became an Amazing Goth or Something within that Style of music,Producer!Take care Fans!
I just saw them this summer. The outdoor venue was terrific even in rain delays standing room only. That voice is just as great 30 years later.
Not really. Yes, it still sounds like him, his despondency, but the anger is gone. He sounds tired.
@@conradzooYeah, going on the footage I’ve seen and listened to (most of it is very high sound quality), it definitely doesn’t hit as hard as it used to. Not that I would expect it to from a man in his mid 60’s, but I often see and hear people talk about how he’s supposedly just as visceral today as he was in the early 80’s, and I just don’t agree.
@conradzoo well he's sad about being older and losing family. A few of the new songs are about that. A higher angry youthful voice was a product of his teens and early twenties when the first four albums were recorded.
30 years? Sorry to break it, but it’s already 40 years… ;)
@@everpuremusic dang!
Звучит свежо, как будто вчера исполнено ! Гении

Do melhor que já ouvi até hoje ❤. Já não se faz música com esta simplicidade e beleza. Saudades deste tempo...
Wow, the version of 100 years....off the scale
The Dark Trilogy = the band in a nutshell. So many masterpieces. So much unachievable talent in their early days.
“I look at myself in the mirror for the first time in a year”
...insanely good sound...thx...
Tyvm for sharing this!!! I have the studio albums, but this is definitely something else. I really enjoyed the first track.
One of the best things about The Cure are their live performances. I almost exclusively listen to live material from The Cure. Only when I want to hear some B-sides or demos will I listen to studio material. My favorite is live studio material, and TV shows.
What a gem !
Thank you so much 🙌
Simon still holds his bass, a la Clash to this day. Thank you for posting this. 17 seconds. Pornography. All cats are grey. Then on and on. Merci les garçon imaginaires.
amo este video de principio a fin...
I saw them on this tour at St Germans, Cornwall at the Elephant Fair. . An outdoor festival, a simply amazing experience! . R.I.P. Darrell Bowen, sadly missed my friend.
Thank you for putting it all together. Back then I could only imagine in my head how it might look. I finally saw The Cure live in 1983 during their brief US tour in LA...still a relatively small venue...Simon of course had left but the setlist was still mostly the 1982 tour setlist.
I saw them play Wembley Arena 87 for the Kiss me Kiss me tour, It was a massive venue but still an excellent show and performance.
@@julianandrews6025 Luckily there are one or two video boots of the 87 tour as there don't seem to be any official video broadcasts of it, BBC, festivals, nothing. There's radio simulcasts but for video, nada.
Got to check dates now lol
Perkins Palace in 1983 ! I was there 👍
I had to wait until a year after that before The Cure finally got around to playing in my hometown (Houston). I had already bought several records and had been into them pretty heavily since ‘81, but their very first show in Houston wasn’t until fall ‘84. Completely different lineup from Pornography by then, but they were still great live. Definitely didn’t disappoint, even after what seemed like an eternity of anticipation.
the best.......... a masterpiece .
Thank you for doing this! Early Cure is hands down the best ❤
This was BY FAR their best Work! Bought Boys Don't Cry upon release and everything.... After Pornography they were....🙄
Masterpiece. Cold. Tragedy. Forever.
This was the best cure ever. 🎉🎉
WOW!
You made a brilliant work.
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank you, but all I did was compile these videos. I'm glad you enjoyed them.
So good. Thanks for sharing these gems.
