The Cure - 1980 Belgium

Like the previous post this is taken from Belgium but the date is unknown. Sometime in October. Can't remember why I flagged this song, possibly because Robert Smith dedicates the song to Ian Curtis but I am not positive! Here it is, Primary.

Opal Belgium 1988

Sorry for the long delay. I have a huge backlog of items to post and will get about doing that. Two absolute gems from Opal in Belgium in 1988. First up is a FLAC file of them covering The Killing Moon by Echo and the Bunnymen. Next up is a FLAC of them covering Indian Summer by Beat Happening. Sadly I never got to see Opal live but I really wish I had. Might be moving to FLAC in the future but I have loads of MP3's to share.
