It was at Hammersmith Appollo (or Odeon) that I saw them.

God no! They were ok but nothing special.
Back on track with RS, The Glove did a couple of decent songs (Punish Me With Kisses and Like An Animal).
I knew someone was going to ask that.
I honestly can not remember his name, I am not 100% sure of the year, I know I was still at school. 1980 or 81?
Spizz were on before The Cure that night.

That was a great tour. Third on the bill were spizzenergi, another of my favourite s.
This is like saying ‘do you like blondes or brunettes?’. I like them both. A lot. And ideally at the same time.
Am looking forward to seeing the cure at Hyde park. Love every era of their music, until 1993. Never the same after boris Williams left.
Hard to top headmaster ritual, there is a light that never goes out or Queen is dead though.
Favourite smiths song? Now that is a tough one. But probably ‘how soon is now’
Favourite cure song - push. Live version.

I lived in Crawley and saw them when they played small local venues and they were amazing. They make me sad nowadays just standing there and going through their greatest hits.
The Phil thornalley days. Was Robert smith Crawley born and bred ?

When i was a student many moons ago A Forest always seemed to be on the Student Union juke box - along with Bad Day by Carmel. The Cure are a very fine band indeed - the Faith and Pornography albums are still wonderful although the Love Cats single is awful

Love The Smiths, and many Cure songs.
What's incredible is how young Marr and The Cure members were when they already writing great songs - in their late teens. All without classical/stage school/record company backgrounds. Just naturally talented kids, creating with mates at home.

This, exactly.
Plus 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' by The Smiths.
Luckily I saw both bands in Brighton in the early 80's at their peak.
Quite.
79-81 we had:
Comsat Angels
Dead or Alive
The Sound
U2
Come in Tokio
The Chameleons
Echo and the Bunnymen
The Danse Society
TV21
Japan
Siouxie and the Banshees
To name but a few - all cracking bands.

I saw The Danse Society down the Regent in West Street, and still have their album in vinyl. A couple of outstanding tracks on there.
My little bother was there. They were prviously called 'Why' I think. I have all their stuff on CD, plus some great 12 inch singles including the legndary heaven is waiting:
