The Cure concert at Bexley North Hotel in Sydney, Australia
Mon, 11 Aug 1980

17 Seconds was not long out so to hear the Cure play, what to me are their two best albums, was fantastic. My friends and I were centre stage, right at the front, under Robert Smith's nose. We had already seen them at Bondi but for some reason the Bexley North gig stands out. My girlfriend at the time may have dropped me that night for my mate, so that may have had something to do with it. My biggest regret was not getting to the Opera House decades later to see them play with members of the original album lineups. There later stuff is just as good which is testament to their talent and Smith's songwriting.
