The Cure:
Herford '80 Play for today
Review
Well
this one is the bootleg called "Live in Brussels 1980" of Super Golden Radio Shows, but in fact is from Herord, Germany.
Even when the alternative covers of the LP are wrong and indicate that the
concert is from Hanover, (but at least they are closer to the reality) so I only adapted them to the CD format
and changed the place & date.
The sound is amazing no surprises apart that some
songs are played twice and the Happy Birthday song that was dedicated to Simon Gallup and that gives us the clue to know that this one is
from Herford and not from Brussels, please don't ask again, I did a really good
investigation about it for more info read The Cure: A visual documentary by Dave Thompson & Jo-Ann Greene or read about it on The Cure Visual Discography.
