5 out of 5 stars ...a strange day   July 3, 2008
D. Fisher (Dayton, OH United States)
Along with the Talking Heads 'Stop Making Sense', one of the best live concerts of that decade (if not all time). The setting, set list, crowd and performance were all perfect. The stars aligned on this one - I can only hope that this does get re-mastered and released on DVD in the future.


5 out of 5 stars Cure collectors classic   May 4, 2008
Vinyl Junkie (Northampton UK)
Regarded by Cure fans as one of their finest concerts captured on film.
Still only available on videotape - they should release this on DVD. Until then it remains highly collectable.

a perfect concent in a beautiful location. i've watched this innumerable times and always enjoy it. filmed long before many of the band's pop hits attracted a wider audience and demonstrates the depth of their playlists.


5 out of 5 stars Blurry In Orange   April 29, 2005

I bought this video second-hand for the extortionate sum of £1 before discovering that many fans were deparately trying to locate a copy. So it may not have the sound or picture quality that we have come to expect these days, but as a teenager who is sadly too young to have seen the real thing, the video gives an impressive insight into what The Cure were as a live band. Another Cure creation which left me mouth-open in awe. Sometimes I feel like I was born too early...


5 out of 5 stars In Orange VCD   January 22, 2005

First off, I'm giving this 5 stars because this concert is superb if purchased in the correct format.

But the point of my review is to comment on the Video CD (VCD) version. When I first heard of this, I (foolishly) got excited about this because it boasted digital sound and picture. Well, this is meaningless considering this format only allows 1.3 gigs to work with in a double CD format, whereas DVD's give at least 4.7 gigs to work with.

The video is so compressed that it is not clear at all - very grainy. And the sound, what a joke! First, it is terribly thinned out. The bass and drums are almost non-existent. The percussion triggers are not there, and the effects on Robert's voice are also completely gone. Possibly worst of all, the sound is sped up a bit, and this just makes it sound extra terrible. Whoever produced this VCD must have been a complete nitwit. I'm convinced The Cure didn't have any oversight of this horrendous product at all.

On the other hand, the Galore VCD is better. The picture is still a bit lacking, but the sound is at least "correct." The mix and speed is right; it just sounds a little thin. Anyway, my final point is don't let the word "digital" fool you. A VHS tape beats any VCD hands down any day.

If you're still not satisfied with VHS, there is a laserdisc of In Orange, but it is not without its own flaws. Although the picture quality is great, the drums are a bit distorted when compared to the VHS, and the audio/video sync is quite off in parts. In this case, it really seems that VHS is the way to go.
