The Cure Live at the Underground, Boston, 1980

The Cure "A Forest"

The Cure's first American tour included a stop in Boston at a small club called the Underground. The legendary Boston Band Mission of Burma opened for them.
The L-shaped room had a legal capacity of 103 people and 300 showed up! That made for a challenging production to pull off given the cramped conditions and technical problems with the video hardware during setup. The Cure played a spirited set on Robert Smith's 21st Birthday. Thanks go out to the MIT Film\Video Section and especially Benjamin Bergery who was a constant creative companion on several of the videos I produced at MIT.
