fake date

24.03.1980 London - Marquee Club (England)

This was no Cure Gig. Just Robert and Matthieu joining an all-star band to protest against the imprisonment of the Stranglers singer.

06.04.1980 Derby - Assembly Rooms (England)

Very likely this date is wrong. It's probably just mixed up with the concert on 06.05.1981 in Derby - Assembly Rooms.
According to the official Cure fanzine "The Clinic" The Cure did not play any concert on 6th April 1980.

xx.04.1980 Philadelphia - (USA)

the book 'Ten Imaginary Years' mentions this show on side 36.

the Book "A visual documentary" says on side 25:
"5 JUNE 1980, A Show at Lyons University is cancelled after the band get lost in the mountains on their way to the venue"
But as The Cure played on 05.06.1980 in Paris maybe this means the 04.06.1980 Lyon show?

xx.xx.1984 Milano - Piper80 (Italy)

from Paolo:
... a Cure gig I attended in the early 80s, but impossible to find anywhere.
I'm sure I saw the concert at Piper Club (actually the venue's name at the time was Piper80). Perhaps it was a private gig for the press before the may 1984 concerts in Milan or even before, as I had free access at the time and no ticket, but I'm sure is not the 1985 gig. It seems there's no traces of this concert, but some italian fan must be aware of it.
