Robert was SO busy in these years.... a new album every year, Banshees in there somewhere and blue sunshine, Japanese whispers, the top was the beginning of the newer sound, personal changes and their breakout album just 1 year later. the writing and the studio and touring.... time must have just flown by.
Borris is my favorite but every time i hear Andy i love what he does. Really wish he was able to stay in the band longer. There is a lot of people on that stage, very interesting line-up right here. Wouldn't mind 2 guitars and 2 keyboards going full time as permanent personal for The Cure. The more layered and complex the better.
It is truly a shame that this lineup did not have more time to grow ! In a lot of ways it was one of the most aggressive Cure lineups in their history.
In April 1984, The Cure embarked on "The Top World Tour" following the success of The Caterpillar. Robert Smith, Lol Tolhurst and Andy Anderson bring Phil Thornalley and Porl Thompson on board for the tour. From January to February 1984, The Cure with Norman Fisher-Jones aka NOKO (bassist) performed at two venues (Munich and Zurich) prior to the album's release. In this video the bassist is Noko, not Phill.
So nice, Robert was amazing, punk and handsome for me in this performance wow...It sounds great , I miss Simon Gallup´s bass line ,though. My favourite tracks are Play for today and Primary in this show. Thanks for sharing it !!!

Vuelvan 44 millones d argentinos los esperamos...
Bananafishbones….What a masterpiece as well as “The Top.” Seen them perform since 1987, both in the USA and Japan, yet this tour grab definitely would be the Holy Grail for getting them raw, hungry and devastatingly brilliant. Phil was brilliant like Porll and Andy. These three never get enough respect.🤷🏻♂️ Why do you think? Pls tell.
@@djscott9207 How would that silly statement go along with how this lineup is underrated? Robert's never said anything negative about these band mates. It's fans and critics that don't give enough respect to this version of The Cure.
Norman Fisher-Jones is playing bass here. Phil left earlier in the tour as he had to go back to his studio to produce a Duran Duran album....Seven and the Ragged Tiger, I think
Best Cure line up , best Cure period , best Cure album , best Cure intoxications , best year for groupies - best musicianship within the band ... just down, downer , gloomy psychedelia which they´ve never been able to reproduce before or after ...
Italiano "Aveva ragione Robert Smith quando diceva che dall'8 al 85 si salvarono in pochi,data la quantità di droghe assunte !!! Per fortuna è stato lui il primo come frontman ha dare l'esempio !!! Se volete continuare con me,basta....droghe !!! Alcuni lo hanno sentito, altri come il batterista e il bassista hanno scelto strade diverse. ....Molto diverse !!!! Ma molto diverse....
i agree, i'd even prefer Lol over Jason but ultimately Boris is "the" Cure drummer...if you look around youtube you can find a soundboard show with Vince Ely (of Psychedelic Furs) which is an interesting listen...he played a few weeks with the Cure during the transition between Andy and Boris in 1984...always interesting to listen to the different drummers and see how the interpret the songs
They play "Pornography" during one of the encores.....I don't think that song was ever broadcast in any version of this show. You can find it on RU-vid....it's a badass performance! I think it's the last performance of Pornography until the Albert Hall show from April 1986. Even that one was a one-off.....they'd only play it at Glastonbury 1986, the last couple of shows of the 1987 tour, the last couple of shows on the 1992 tour, and that's it until the Bloodflowers tour in 2000.
What a fine, dark and cool cat was Norman Fisher-Jones on bass. He would have been a good replacement of Phil Thornalley and Simon Gallup for The Cure.
This must be after the second riff with Robert... complicated tale but apparently a roadie friend of Simon's started singing on a song and was taking the piss out of robert and lol, prompting robert to toss some drumsticks at the roadie, so he left until robert asked him to return some time in 1984.
Andrew Reed , you gotta get a clue about laying back in the cut.That means the bass drum is never before or after the beat.Bonham had it and if you’re not familiar with that then you gotta sit down.
Jason Chasko that’s led zep, different band mate, played in sync with jpj, but that’s their technique for their style. Jpj would mirror riffs, this style became outdated, Metallica would not do that forexample . I’ve got some simple advise. If u want to listen to bonham drumming, go watch led zep. Yes he is a great drummer, but so is Copeland and many others, all different styles and techniques.
Um,yeah,I’m referring to Bonham because HE lays back in the cut.Doesn’t rush the beat.You might be too slow to understand what I’m talking about.Cheers
Check out Boris Williams, played for the cure after that black guy.laid in the cut,played everything perfectly but with feel and space, much better than that uptight black guy.
