The Cure had been gradually building their U.S. fan base when they embarked on their third American tour to promote their 1984 studio release, The Top. This recording was made on that tour, and features the band during their most defining musical period.

I saw this concert at the Palladium in Hollywood CA, October 1984. This was my favorite concert ever. I was lucky enough to be upfront and enjoyed the talented line up.

This was a good early period for The Cure. They were still more obscure. I'd say one of my faves from this recording would be Piggy In The Mirror. I really liked the album that came after this time, that would be The Head On The Door. I think they hit thier peak in popularity at least in 89 or so with Disintigration and the Prayer tour.I didnt get to see them until the next tour with the Wish album. After that thier albums went downhill to me. They were the true 80s goth gods.

I saw this tour, came through Detroit, Robert was way before average listeners time. My girlfriend kept rolling her eyes and going for more beer. Me? Entranced. I went again in '86/'87 sometime, the tee has no tour date. I've been now, 5 times. $ well spent.
