from Duncan P.

I saw the Cure on the tour in 1981 when Carnage Visors was the "support". This concert was definitely at the Rock Garden (not the townhall). I've never forgotten it (and the Rock Garden is hard to forget. Someone was pushed under a car outside a few weeks before or after...). I'm afraid that I have no idea what the set list was...

from Stephen D.

Yes I did go to that Cure concert, [...], I was at the local poly now a Uni Teeside Polytechnic. I can't understand how the guy who left a note to say it was at the Rock Garden can say that when I know for a fact it was at Middlesborough Town Hall. The Cure were getting more well known and they were considered above bands like The Fall and Psychedelic Furs who played at the Rock Garden. I know as I saw them play there. The Rock Garden was a bit of a dive, a dump to be honest. The Cure were better than that, in a better league altogether.
