Watch The Cure—Live in Leipzig, August 4th, 1990

The Cure put on quite the formidable live show back in 1990—and following their massive “Prayer Tour” the year prior, Robert Smith and Co took a visit over to East Germany, to play a legendary and televised performance in Leipzig (Future home to the world’s largest Goth Festival, Wave Gotik Treffen).  Speaking of Goth, Robert actually states, while segueing into the encore of Faith and Seventeen Seconds material that “this is the goth bit of the set”.

In my opinion, this is the best Cure concert footage available online, and quite possibly better than many of the (out of print!?) concert videos.

Enjoy!
