I saw the Cure late 1981, presumably the Faith tour. There was nothing that broke down that night - if anything it was too polite. It was good but really it was like listening to the records.
I don't like Faith as much as 17 Seconds but it's still a good album IMO. 17 Seconds was always my fave, but I'd probably go for Disintegration these days. Pornography was pretty harrowing. I guess they went as far as they could in that direction and as you say it's perhaps no wonder he then went pop!
