In September, The Cure (now dubbed Team Cure and kitted out accordingly in American Football shirts) toured Britain and on the 12th, played Wembley Arena for the first time.
Robert: "I didn't want to do another long tour ever again but I'd really enjoyed doing festivals so, rather than doing six nights at Hammersmith, I thought 'We'll just play Wembley'. Everyone said we wouldn't fill it on our own but it sold out. Budgie came and thought it was one of the best gigs he'd ever been to. Unfortunately, the rest of the concerts were very disappointing. The venues were too depressing, too impersonal. I think what really went wrong happened early on, in St Austell; it was one of the worst night's drinking in The Cure's history. That didn't really set us up very well and by the time we got to Shepton Mallet, everyone was dead."
