Saw The Cure on their first US tour in the spring of 1980 in NYC at a club called The Ritz . It was their 2nd gig , the first being the day before iN New Jersey . Saw them again in 1981 in NYC on the Faith Tour and once again in 1984 just after Boris Williams joined the band . Then in the spring of 1985 saw New Order when I was visiting Japan . Oh - saw The Smiths live once , too . No Echo , though .
I saw the Cure once at the QE Theater in Vancouver BC. Sold out. Being a mosh guy, I dont like sitting down but I had my then-GF with me, so it was still OK.
