CONCERTS/GIGS:1978



November 20, 1978: Moonlight Club, West Hampstead, England

Info:
Played with the UK Subs.

Line up:
Robert Smith- guitar, vocals
Michael Dempsey- bass
Laurence (Lol) Tolhurst- drums

Reviews:
"...Like early and late lementing Buzzcocks, nothing is spared, the whole set is minimal glory... Robert's lead is killing but it's that bass sound that steals the evening's honours, Mick using it like a lead instrument and pushing the whole sound along quite superbly... (The Cure has) direction through indirection... Very musical. Almost rootless, which makes them very contemporary... The Cure brought the spark of Rock 'n' roll to me. Youth. Energy. Endless potential and hope."
Dave McCullough, Sounds, January 27, 1979

"The songs mesh a stylishly understated plundering of classic Sixties pop-rock with post-punk economy and drive. The effect is tight and open-ended, considered but on the right side of rough."
Ian Birch, Melody Maker
