Yes, actually is the most famous The Cure concert and for many, their best perfomance. It's also available on laser disc. I will merge this post with the existing In Orange topic.

scanned this topic, but couldn´t find the info I was looking for: are there plans to release In Orange on DVD in the future?

so another question then: is it circulating as an "unofficial" dvd? (ripped from video or perhaps laserdisc?)

Of course it is.

But hmmm... This may be a taboo subject.  :lol:

fannwenner

Yeah, taboo is probably the right word. But it is good to know. Thanks for the info.

If anybody wants to follow the sound advice of bloodflowersuk, I definitely wouldn´t say no...

i wouldnt mind at all if someone was willing to mail me a dvd. i cant afford the vhs, so all i can do is watch what youtube has to offer - and the last three songs are missing on YT. if i had any cure vhs i would definetly get those onto dvd  because tape's quality degrades after much playing, and that was decades ago!

i just love love the crowds energy in Orange. not only is the lineup one of the best in their entire band history, everything just fit. the backdrop and atmostphere perfectly fit the cure. what was the last concert played in that theater? i would like to go there someday

well i really have to disagree. imo, it's precisely because we are fans that we should avoid copying official stuff and/or avoid urging anyone to do it.
fans should always show example and simply go and buy themselves a copy...

forgot for a moment. i take back what i said earlier. and i think that real fans spend their money on the official items (which dont cost that much on sites like ebay and the like). 

http://cocosuodo.magicrpm.com/38086/The-Cure----Under-the-cheri-moon--The-Melody-Maker--1986-/ -  i used google translator, but no online translator is perfect, far from it, so i was able to get a general idea.
Après le concert Sheehan et moi restons dans les environs en bons professionnels sirottant des Heinekens glacées, attendant que le groupe s’éponge et tout ça, quand nous sommes approchés par une blonde charmante rouge de fièvre que les videurs avaient autorisée à passer car elle allait s’évanouir.Elle accepte la chaise de Sheehan et fait comprendre dans un pidgin-english passable qu’elle désirait de l’eau.Nous nous sommes obligés. Bien qu’elle paraissait toujours un peu patraque quand Simon apparut soudainement, elle se leva et, le harcelant, caressant ses épaules, lui babilla son amour.Le tour manager la vire et on apprit par la suite qu’elle n’arrêtait pas de tourner aux alentours, essayant de se retrouver face à Simon.Plus tard, nous arrivons au Château du groupe, environ 25 km plus loin au milieu de nulle part.Le téléphone sonne dans la chambre de Simon.C’est la mère de la fille.Elle a réussi à avoir son numéro de téléphone et est inquiète car sa fille est partie...avec les bijoux de la famille!Simon raccrocha rapidement et va au bar où, bien sûr, la fille apparait.Elle fut ramenée dehors mais elle était encore là le lendemain, se cachant derrière les portes, observant, attendant son heure.“Je pense qu’ils se défoncent avec quelque chose” (un touriste anglais à sa fille. Dimanche après-midi à Orange).

from the gist of the story, i think that a girl was able to go backstage or something for water. and that she wanted to meet simon too? then her mother called because the girl was wearing the family jewels? it sounds like the girl had wanted an encounter with simon? the article is very funny, but you can see the problems with Lol. and the simon and the girl part irks me

I found the VHS version of this on Ebay around five years ago. Would love to hear a replication of the set on the upcoming tour.

I didn't know it was out on DVD yet!

Seriously, though - as long as they are to stupid to release it themselves, the fans should be free to trade this show in it's best possible quality as some kind of preservation project.

It's not as though official copies of the VHS or LD are still being sold on the big scale, so there would be no loss for The Cure or the record company. If they were interested in selling it, they would have released it on DVD years ago!
