Title: Two soundcheck cover versions
Post by: MAtT on August 08, 2020, 22:42:51
Bootlegs of Cure soundchecks are rare in themselves, but recordings of their playing cover versions during soundchecks even rarer. So for your entertainment, from the old uploads on my Cure anomalies youtube channel, here's two examples of just that:

From the soundcheck of the Pittsburg show at Syria Mosque on 4th August 1987; a snippet of Another Girl Another Planet by The Only Ones.

From the soundcheck of the Frankfurt show at Festhalle on 29th October 1987; a snippet of English Rose by The Jam.

Enjoy!

I'm looking forward to hearing these, thank you, @MAtT!  At the moment both are coming up with playback errors and not playing for us, but this could be a temporary Internet problem on our end.  Anyone else having difficulty?

Hi Sue, I've changed the links to direct rather than embedded - do they work now?

Thanks, that works!  :)  I'll have to look up the originals.  I wouldn't have objected to them recording a version of that first song especially.
