The Cure Are Dead...on YouTube

"Someone has posted “The Cure Are Dead” on YouTube (audio only), the song that was played live in Brussels at the end of the final 1982 Cure concert before Simon left the band - “The pornography tour ends in confusion on June 11-1982 at Brussels in Belgium. The last song of this show, 'the cure are dead', was an improvisation with Robert Smith on drums, Lol Tolhurst on bass, Simon Gallup on guitar and Gary Biddles, Simon's friend [and a roadie], on vocals, who’s criticizing Smith and Tolhurst. Following the concert, Simon Gallup left the group. Robert Smith does not talk to him for eighteen months.” (Thanks Jerre)

  5. I can't hear the "Wanker" thing

    at what minute/seconds does that come in ??

    Or is it legend :)


    (What I hear is RS drumming for a half or whole minute after the guy stopped singing
    and then, totally at the end,
    I do hear like some thin wooden bamboo sound smoothly banging near a mic, then the crowd goes booing)

  6. Biddle calls Smith and Tolhurst wankers about 4 minutes, 30 seconds into the "song."
