The cassette version of this album had fantastic "anomalies". At Night was particularly good. This version of A Forest is up there but version recorded in Manchester that was released on a ten inch with Killing an Arab is better.
This is THE BEST version of A Forest ever. Searching for this version I picked up of Triple J in the 80s, I immediately recognised it. There is no equal. I know this solo off by heart. If I had all the moneys, I would ask Robert to teach me how to play this version and I would die a happy man.
This not is the real version of this concert IS FAKE !!! The original version of this concert is the best ever Search the true version of this concert in the official page of The Cure in RU-vid
La mejor versión y por muchísimo es la de este concierto , incluso superior a la del disco y de la de Paris 92 PERO NO ES ESTA , ESTA ES UNA VERSIÓN DE OTRO DISCO, no de este concierto BUSQUEN LA ORIGINAL DE ESTE CONCIERTO EN LA PAGINA OFICIAL DE THE CURE EN RU-vid Y NOTARÁN LA ABISMAL DIFERENCIA
Sorry no, the Athens version in '85 is better. Worst sound than this but there's a video. Regardless, those mid 80's versions where they refined the live version of the song but still kept the emphasis on the guitar section, were the best. Later when they put the synths front,right and center, they took the raw dynamism out of the song.
