The Cure: Concert - The Cure Live (1984)


I am ambivalent about most live albums. I know, there are lots of seminal live records. I'd rather have a concert record, rather than a collection of live songs, as most live records are. It seems to me that on most live records, the sound is weak. Paul McCartney's Wings Over America is a classic example of a live record that sounds truly awful. Anyway, this is not a fabulous live record, but it's not too bad and it's cool to hear what they sounded like in the mid 80s, because I didn't see them for the first time until 1989 or 1990 or maybe 1991. I'll have to look for my ticket stub.
