U.S. BROADCAST RECORDING FROM THE CURE’S 1984 TOP TOUR
The Cure had been gradually building their U.S. fan base when they embarked on their third American tour to promote their 1984 studio release, The Top. This broadcast recording was made on that tour, and features the band during their most defining musical period. • Coming off the success of hits like "Let's Go To Bed" and "Boys Don't Cry," Robert Smith and the band had finally come to the point where they could take The Cure's eccentric, characteristically dark sound and combine it with a more radio-friendly approach. At the same time that he was working with The Cure, Smith was also playing with Siouxsie and the Banshees. Musically, however, his true home was always with The Cure - a fact made more than apparent on this recording. • The Cure would eventually go through a number of musical and personal upheavals, but most agree this was the time when they were at their musical peak. Highlights of this set include "Let's Go To Bed," "Boys Don't Cry." and the track borrowed to name this live document “Happy The Man”. They end this noteworthy gig with a live rendition of "Killing An Arab." • For diehard fans or curious listeners, this show offers an impeccable live recording of one of the '80s biggest groups in their prime.
