Note: Some are getting a Malware warning when trying to download this. I downloaded it, didn't get any warnings, and it scans clean for me, but use extreme caution.
If you don't want to chance it, though it honestly seems safe, just listen to it at Slicing Up Eyeballs.
In case you don't get it, this is a newly discovered tape of The Cure's very 1st show in the US - The Cherry Hill, NJ show on April 10th, 1980!
So the very first US Cure setlist was Seventeen Seconds, Play For Today, Three Imaginary Boys, Fire In Cairo, Grinding Halt, In Your House, Subway Song, M, 10:15 Saturday Night, Accuracy, At Night, Boys Don't Cry, Jumping Someone Else's Train, Another Journey By Train, A Forest. Encore: Secrets, Killing An Arab. But the tape ends there, so we don't know if there was more.
Update (6/5/12): According to the actual stage setlist posted at A Foolish Arrangement, this recording is complete.
(Thanks to Andreas @ the excellent Cure Concerts Guide for the info)

ReplyDeleteSimply amazing! After all of these years, it just turns up like this. Wow!
Deletewhat a wonderful year for cure fans. all these treats! :)
Deleteand i loved that transition from jumping someone else's train to another journey by train!
DeleteAll the bootlegs I've heard from this time period have this great "train/train" medley ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmROooJA7cE )
DeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteWow!! I wish we could get a higher quality torrent of this. But beggars can't be choosers!
ReplyDeleteThe download is malware.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else getting this? I get no warnings and it scans clean for me.
DeleteI get the same. My anti-virus don't let me download it. :(
DeleteVery cool. As soon as my bandwidth limit is renewed, since I've reached my monthly allowance, I'll download it. Thanks, Van Gosse!

ReplyDeleteyeah smart screen filter labels it as malware after scanning.
ReplyDeleteBut... it's ok to download it?
Deletei use a mac. it downloaded fine for me and i've had no problems.
DeleteThanks Sofia. Think I'll have to wait a few weeks before I return home and can use my Mac. Right now I just have a PC and it's the only computer around for the next few weeks for me.
DeleteI just downloaded this, but I'm not going to extract anything until someone confirms that nothing in here is malware.
ReplyDeleteIs it both files or just the show?
ReplyDeleteIt is a .zip file containing two .mp3 files. I have no idea why a PC would think it is malware. My Mac had no issues. It's the entire show (though the Killing an Arab encore is cut off a bit early) divided up into two tracks.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing. Just hearing Robert say "This is our first time in America" is unreal.
I also downloaded the .docx microsoft word file and read his review of the show. Good read.
Hm.
ReplyDeleteI scanned it with a very high security corporate-level software (here at work) and both the doc and the music download passed just fine.
ReplyDeleteVan Gosse, thank you for this genuine Cure treasure. I loved reading the reviews also. Thank you so much for sharing, and I look forward to any other recordings you may choose to share! :D
I downloaded a few things yesterday along with this file. So, I'm not sure what actually caused my virus protection to start going off. But, I went ahead and deleted this from my computer. I did get to listen to some of it and it sounded great.
