The Cure played just two locations on their first US Tour in 1980 before returning to England. NYC @ Hurrah’s and the next night Boston @ The Underground Club. The single “A Forest” had just been released in England and performed live for the first time in the US.

This month KINODV has a live video cut of “A Forest” from the show in Boston.

First time watch for anyone:

On the flip side is the Ramones with a nicely filmed live performance of
“Teenage Lobotomy”. Probably filmed somewhere in NYC, but laugh my arse off when I think about how they ripped it up at the high end academic institution Amherst College..

Gabba Gabba Hey!

Johnny Angel…of course.. lead the charge from Boston…
