Notes from the original uploader:
—–
I got this show in a trade a couple of years ago. This is from the Bloodflowers promo tour where the band played in smaller venues than usual. I tried to get tickets for the show but they were sold out within a couple of seconds here. Doh! I’m pretty sure I have the correct venue information and I’m also pretty sure it was recorded off of WXRT in Chicago. The discs I received had sector boundary errors between each track so I fixed those and some sloppy edits in Wavelab. Overall, this is an excellent sounding show but there’s a couple of issues with One Hundred Years. There’s a couple of dropouts at around one minute into the song. It looks like it happened during the broadcast but I’m not sure. Also, not long after the dropouts, the song fades out and Bloodflowers begins. It seems like an unnatural end to the song and I’d be surprised if it was performed that way.

Line-up:

Personal note:

A great 1981 Cure show. The atmosphere is much more darker than the year before.
Even the older songs sound more depressing. ‘Drowning Man’ and ‘Faith’ are intense.
‘The Holy Hour’ only has the last 24 seconds, the rest of the show is complete.

This was the tour in the Circus tent. They had no support-act, but played the track
‘Carnage Visors’ with an animation film made by Ric Gallup, Simon’s brother.
The soundtrack was only released as the B-side of the cassette release of ‘Faith’.
In 2005 it was included on the bonus-cd with the Deluxe Edition of ‘Faith’.

BONUS:

I have included 8 tracks from this show broadcasted on the Dutch radio station KRO.
Almost perfect quality!

Tracks:

01. primary
02. three imaginary boys
03. at night
04. fire in cairo
05. play for today
06. grinding halt
07. a forest
08. faith

Both versions downloaded from dime years ago. Original nfo’s included.

enjoy!
