THE EDGE
Location: 70 Gerrard St. E.
Heyday: 1977-1982

Known for: Living up to its name in terms of eclecticism: a dark, spacious abode facing Gerrard that housed tastemaker promoters Gary Topp and Gary Cormier, who booked punk/new wave acts like 999 and The Mods with the occasional jazzy Don Thompson/Ed Bickert or folkie Ralph McTell date.
Notable Headliners: The Police, XTC, Ultravox, and what would have been the first Joy Division performance if singer Ian Curtis hadn't offed himself a week before the gig
Closed: 1982
from Greg
The Edge closed down in the summer of 1981, so the venue is wrong. To the best of my knowledge, the Cure didn't play Toronto in 1983 otherwise I would have gone. Seeing that they were in New York at the time, they may have done a surprise show in Toronto promoting Love Cats or something, but I cant confirm this.
... Capacity was maybe 150 people. The Cure played at the Concert Hall in 1981 which had a capacity of close to 2000, so wouldn't make sense they would play tiny venue 2 years later unless it was a surprise gig.
