The Cure - Peel Session 1981 

I went down to Dunedin (new zealand), and saw them play in 1980 in the Regent Theatre. There were about 500 drunk students, it was raining, it was the ideal way to start one of the best decades ever in music, the 1980s

Sat here, Sunday10/01/2021 thinking this was 40 years ago, fucks sake where`s life gone.

The Peel sessions are a treasure, a true part of music history. And those early The Cure live were incredible. Thank for sharing mate !

Cure for ever!!!1981=20 years old!2020 still listening their music.

All my peel stuff is on tape, including this, and I have no tape player now!

All Cats Are Grey in this version is sooo beautiful, excellent and simple super!!!

The cure and roberts, toute mon enfance, indémodable inimitable, the must off music !¡!

john peel: the voice of my youth. for me he will never die

Magnifique, splendide, honorifique, fabuleux. Les Cure seront le plus grand groupe jusque Désintégration.

Robert's voice in All Cats Are Grey is so mysterious and dreamlike....its like memories of lost times. So strange. Forever is so psychedelic. One of my favorite The Cure songs in all of its manifestations.

Thanks so much for including Peel's intro. What an icon.

My daughter has just started listening to Robert and his Cure only 40 years too late📻💿

Forever is m'y favorite

John Peel is like an alternative music Genie granting all those wishes and all.

Cool songs. Thank you for post this, a hug. 🙂🖤

Love that drum sound

the new single, of course

Incredible. I will love The Cure forever.

so nice to hear John peels voice thankyou

my fav cure period

Ohhhhh the bass! I could just listen to Simon playing bass

RIP John Peel...

So cool to hear these songs still in their Demo form such a great band.

Nice listening this radio , what a great life to mister Peel witnessing the History of British music . He saw the cream of this time . Vibracobra23 you made my day .

The Cure is my Cure

My favorite part of these Peel Sessions is hearing Peel's on-air voice intro-ing and outro-ing the songs or announcing long ago gig dates

All cats are grey

Amazing.....LOV'YA!!!! HOLY HOUR 😍🖤

All cats, Holy..are magic. All by Cure is soo fuck good.

Delightful. Exquisito. Thank John Peel: FOREVER.

Incredible recording. Of incredible songs.

Thank You!

Le sessioni di John Peel, sono sempre dico sempre state all'altezza della loro fama.

This is incredible 😎🙏

Perfect Cure and good to hear John Peel

Que barbaridad

Блин, вот никогда не перестану поражаться, насколько Роберт был красивым тогда!

Yeah just heard this, I love how random shit just pops up on youtube. I spent a bunch of years looking for green vinyl rarities and all kinds of shit in record stores, and am somewhat nostalgic of the time when you'd just *find* songs out of the blue on b sides and stuff, so this is like a goldmine, yet another rendition of what we know, but presented differently; I really love these alt lyrics versions sometimes; there's a great version of Charlotte Sometimes out there somewhere that sounds amazing. Thanks for uploading this. Lovely stuff.

excellent.....I always say All Cats are Grey to my grey kitty Dusty 💚💙💛💜

dank je wel

Great session. I think I love 'Forever'

"In Orange" is the best video of the Cure ever made, Ripping Corpse!!

Thanks for share this! All Cats are grey it makes me dream

Interesting to hear these songs in their development.

Wow.

Love this, but the first track is called cold colours right? Primary is completely different song

Amazing - so far ahead of everything at that time....

I have a dubbed bootleg cassette of this session, Primary is listed as "Cold Colours"?

Oh remember Please don't change...

When I was young

Fantastic!

Yellow, such a happy colour!

Estoy con unos auriculares medio pelo, y se escucha de la pura madre! Que grande Johnny!

my fav band,.,.#1

With John in it. YESSSSSS

magnificent!!

💕

thanX... c'est magique

very good

oh my good god robert’s voice is beautiful in All Cats Are Grey what

Inigualable voz más q excelente 👍

This primary and "in orange" ver are much better than the final ver that was put on the album.

This is my birthday date I was 17 that day waouh!!!!!!!!

Holy Hour best version!

love THE CURE....

Trinche algoritmo, ¿alguien más lo llevo el video de Music Clan Radar?

Glad they ditched the original lyrics to primary! The final ones are much better

Oh, Fuschia!

Primary Primary > Secondary Primary

AMAZING QUALITY 1980 ??????????????

Sublime - the best band ever.

The lyrics of The Holy Hour and Primary are not yet definitive here. Here is Primary : Red in the Christmas tree shines And you lick your sticky lips Never mind I'll stare In love Yellow, such a happy colour But I feel so old Girl sits in a room drawing pictures Oh yellow yellow yellow yellow That's so cold Oh, oh remember Please don't change Blue is waiting for your brother You won't get seen again Sky high waves you and other colours Primary sound and primary fine Oh, oh remember Please don't change

NOW I can hear why I was so mesmerized by you ~until I layed My eyes on the King, then, I FOUND FOUND FOUND that I was Abel to LOVE TO HEAR YOU BOTH!!! Yah, aNd then We got to here, hmmm...

All cats are grey...

WHO GOTS THE CAREER GUTS TO BE THE NEXT JOHN PEEL? Here we all are, waiting upon your arrival..... :S

OMG, you were so cute Robbie aNd NOW, you are so adorable!!!

...never mind!....

Robert Smith is a god.....

Claude Gassian, I think...possibly...all hail...

The bigger Robert Smith's hair became the greater his vocal range became. Something sinister going on...?

The Cure utilise the flanger pedal.

Clássico top a essência do cure

I love "Primary" but prefer the original. All Skids Peel sessions are now on CD - 6 CD boxed set "Skids - The Virgin Years" - and for £20 max. Maybe The Cure's will be released too ?

He was only 22 years old!

Primary's version is completely different here than the original.

Hey Robert! Simon is your guardian angel! Loi is the best !

Pretty Damn Good , Isn't This ! Scott

Anyone know where that portrait of the band is from? Is it Paris? A photographer called Gervaise something or other?...shame on me for not remembering, but. you know, it's been a long time...

Wall...Cult.Valeu.

All Cats Are Grey is the shit, whole of 'faith' was the shit actually.

Tolhurst, Smith, and Gallup are basically The Cure.

Lol forever

My holy socialization

Круто

sounds like,,the Forest song

This version of primary isn't so great in my opinion.Glad it was changed.

Ок

I’m a massive fan of this era of The Cure, but I’ll be honest… I never really cared much for “Primary”. I never understood the appeal, or why it was pushed as a single. However, this version of it is a whole different deal. I like this so much more. Better lyrics, better execution, better overall sound. Too bad this wasn’t the version on Faith.

Lyrics to Forever? LOL
