This rare footage of The Cure has never been broadcast since this very first broadcast on July 3, 1980 in the TROS Top 50 in the Netherlands.
We publish it today, February 3, 2022, to celebrate drummer Lol Tolhurst’s 63rd birthday.
Laurence “Lol“ Tolhurst, (Laurence Andrew Tolhurst, Horley (Surrey, England), 3 February 1959) was drummer of the Cure untill 1988.
This track has not been released as a single at the time and is still part of the Cure’s live performances.
This video has not been shown in later episodes because Robert Smith did not want to release a second single from the ’Seventeen Seconds’ album in the Netherlands.
’A Forest’ the lead single from the album ’Seventeen Seconds’ by the way was recorded and broacast on the same tv-show and has been published before on this channel.
A full version will be released in the coming weeks
The Cure are an English rock band formed in 1978 in Crawley, West Sussex. Throughout numerous lineup changes since the band’s formation, guitarist, lead vocalist, and songwriter Robert Smith has remained the only constant member. The band’s debut album was ’Three Imaginary Boys’ (1979) and this, along with several early singles, placed the band in the post-punk and new wave movements that had sprung up in the United Kingdom.
Beginning with their second album, Seventeen Seconds (1980), the band adopted a new, increasingly dark and tormented style, which, together with Smith’s stage look, had a strong influence on the emerging genre of gothic rock as well as the subculture that eventually formed around the genre.
This rare and never published video of ’Play For today’ from their ’Seventeen Seconds’ album was shot and broadcast by TROS TOP 50 episode 79 on July 3, 1980.
