Let’s continue visiting some old live recordings. This is one I had years ago (though sadly I believe I’ve lost my copy somewhere along the line). I remember trading for it back when tape-trading through the mail was a thing. Maybe it still is? I don’t know.

The Cure had was touring behind their second album Seventeen Seconds and making their first trip to the United States. Journalist Van Gosse was working for Melody Maker to follow the band and would sometimes record concerts to listen back to later on.
