The Cure — A Forest (1983). Cold, atmospheric, gothic brilliance..the sound that shaped a generation before Manchester kicked the doors off the hinges.
Back when post‑punk, indie, goth were all cross‑pollinating with what was happening here: The Smiths, Joy Division, New Order
Rare archival footage of The Cure performing live on the Dutch TV show TROS Top 50 on July 3, 1980.
This is a very rare recording featuring the original line-up: Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Matthieu Hartley, and Lol Tolhurst. In this performance, Robert Smith and Simon Gallup switched instruments — Robert is playing bass while Simon takes the guitar.
A true gem of gothic rock / post-punk history. 🖤

''Why was I not born earlier to witness the greatest band ever? Led Zeppelin!''
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant performing a nice acoustic rendition of their greatest hit, Stairway to Heaven, live on Japan TV, in 1994.
John Paul Jones. Unsung hero of Led Zeppelin. Stayed in the shadows but gave so much.
He suggested adding the recorders to Stairway and played them on the track. He arranged the orchestra on Kashmir.
A fantastic bassist and a great songwriter. Hats off to John Paul Jones!
