That is technically true, but Love was their first album released here in the U.S., so throughout high school, I considered it their first album, and I’ve never gotten out of the habit.

Love was not their first album.

Pues me hubiera encantado estar allí. Hubiera preferido que tocaran “Ceremony”; es que apenas tengo 34. ¿Dónde los veré en vivo? Ya se verá.

Saw them at the House of Blues in Boston last night. Hadn’t seen them since 1991 during the Sonic Temple tour. Ian was in great spirits … he talked to the crowd and belted out the tunes. Billy was on as usual. What an insane guitarist that man is. The rythem section kept it all real. Yeah, alot of old doodes and doodets there but it sure beat dealing with young idiots drunk wanting to fight people. The Cult is just that … a cult classic. I’d see them any day of the week again and again. Was great to know they were going to play an entire album and they did. They basically played the set list everyone has been writting about. Loved it.

wow- you’re all on glue!.. i’ve seen every show since billy idol and the subject band in the 80’s and we had to leave after ‘phoenix’ because it was so bad. astbury was wasted and the sound mix was horrific. i’m not sure i can ever see them again. i brought my new wife because she loves sanctuary so much and we couldn’t even wait for that. so sad as the 07 show was so great.

That’s when it pays to be tall at a show, when instruments get bobbled through the crowd.

I do think Cult fans like me, are getting older and just don’t have the energy we did when we were younger. I also think the front of the stage and many rows behind were packed tightly and there wasn’t much area to move around. I was just left of the mixing desk and it appeared that when someone would step foot across the yellow tape separating the center aisle from the left and right side, there would be a member of security there to remind them that you just crossed the line and I saw other minor incidents that security would make a big deal about and Ian even made several comments about security. These factors make it quite difficult to move around and have a good time. Personally I thought the set after “Love” had more energy and Ian, Billy, Chris, Mike and John also seemed more into it. I’ve been a Cult fan since 1985, seen them many times and since 2006 this band has stuck together and really rocked longer than any other Cult line-up. I thank Ian and Billy both for working out their artistic and personal differences and sticking together for these last 3 + years and providing fans some great Cult classics and more recent tunes. I’m not a huge fan of “Born Into This” however do admit that I prefer Illuminated and Dirty Little Rock Star live. I can’t wait for them to return to the Bay Area again. The set list above is correct
