The Cure

Oh, The Cure—what a band! By June 14, 1986, when they performed live at the Nürburgring in Germany, they were in the thick of their rise to prominence. This gig came just after the release of their seminal album, "The Head on the Door," which hit the shelves a year earlier in 1985. Can you imagine the energy in that crowd, witnessing a group that had just solidified its mark with hits like "In Between Days"? The Cure had really become a force, blending post-punk sensibilities with pop melodies. It’s a wonder they captured this moment on video; fans back in the '80s didn’t have the luxury of streaming. Plus, the band’s dynamic performance style and the way they used their live shows to create an intimate experience, even in large venues, made their concerts unforgettable. This recording not only reflects their artistic peak but also embodies the raw, electric atmosphere of live music during that era.
