The Cure - Live Denver - Sept. 4, 1989

Robert Smith was saying that the Disintegration tour was going to be the last of The Cure. I guess he was technically correct because it seems that after this, they dropped "The" from The Cure and all the releases were simply by "Cure".

Anyway, when we heard that they were playing in Denver, we started hatching schemes to go and see them. Somehow, Denver was deemed too far for me to stray and mom insisted on going with. Kevin's mother packed him a lunch- it was cute.

Mom was going to sit in the car for the show. We had Heather's ticket with us, with instructions to scalp it. After driving to Denver the long way (I-70), it seemed silly to make mom sit in the car and the effort of scalping the extra didn't just didn't seem worth it. Heather was kind of peevish about this once we'd returned to Salt Lake, but I think I hooked her up with a copy of this recording and she calmed down a bit. So, we brought mom into the show and she proved useful in that she snuck the blank tapes into the venue by placing them in her bra.

This was an amazing bill- the Pixies, Love and Rockets, and the Cure. Wish I'd brought batteries and tapes to record the other 2 bands as well as the sound at Fiddler's Green was simply amazing.

  3. any chance for a re-upload? By any chance does "The Same Deep Water as You" play normal on this copy? The copy I have it is all slowed down and garbled starting around the middle of the song.... plays 10:55.
