I was there in the sudio when it happend. All members of the Cure were drunk. Bananarama were also in the studio.
I remember I waited for hours until the Cure came up for doing 2 songs. Finally they came up... but not alone! Bananarama joined them on stage. Robert was so drunk he didn't even playback the songs. It was a big party on stage.

unknown whether there was an opening act
