The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary | COUNTDOWN (1985)

[@harlendevraak1202]

I miss the days when musicians had real talent. And not the kind of ‘talent’ that results from learning how to upload on Tiktok and KZbin…Thank God I’m not from this generation and didn’t grow up thinking Taylor Swift, Drake, Billie Eilish & Justin Bieber are actually musicians.

[@RosieHarp]

Same here, in my 20's all through the 80's 🎉🥳

[@RJ-wy6cx]

God bless you sir

[@simonavecchiotti6039]

Now, at my 60 ye old, I'm still discover how was fortunate to live in the '80, all kind of music was at his best. Sorry for the millennial

[@Boomagonna]

​@simonavecchiotti6039 I'm over 70... miss the 60-80s

[@PerryOConnor123]

I really miss music. Haven't heard anything decent since 99.

[@David-h4z2s]

Since About 2003 for me The last 15 20 years 😫

[@jukeofearl]

Airborne any album and Tracer’s El Pistolaro. Both from Australia and both are kick ass.

[@Boomagonna]

Couldn't agree More...

[@vhayne91777]

I've been where you are. Look up a band called 'The Midnight', and check out some of their songs like 'Sunset'. I'm sure there are more out there, but that band for sure has captured something special and are making NEW awesome music.

[@DepressedCapitalist]

My favorite rock band ever! There goes my adolescence! Long Long Long Long live The Cult....

[@gary6449]

..and the WORLD.. The WORLD drags me DOWN !

[@RosieHarp]

That quiff is magnificent

[@thepirate5955]

I thought that also - freaking EPIC! Love it.

[@Astburysring]

When this came out it was just mind blowing and then I heard “Phoenix” just awesome. Missed so much college going to their gigs. So worth it!

[@kristopherkrueger4617]

I love it when the band is playing for real on TV.

[@RosieHarp]

Are they though? I lot of these lower budget shows insisted on miming to cut retakes

[@deegan463]

@@RosieHarp Spot on. Pretty sure this is just the recorded version being played as far as audio goes.

[@4fit816]

@kristopherkreuger4617 Sorry to inform you, that your ears and eyes have let you down yet again. This is NOT live and you can clearly hear the bassist's easy to pick out signature recorded sound. Which is done with a StingRay bass. He is "playing" a Fender here.

[@Den-pu6re]

The drummer is missing fills too

[@Prognosis__]

@@Den-pu6rethe Australian version of countdown admits that it was all mimed..no live music

[@edwin.jansen]

Wauw! Nooit geweten dat ze ooit in CountDown zaten. Grote fan van The Cult! Ian bijna te laat voor de playback, grappig! Heb nooit begrepen waarom dit het enige nummer dat hoog in de hit parades kwam was.

[@Asjemenou-d3j]

ha dat is het hem juist, het was geen hit joh. Werd wel veel op radio 3 gedraaid. Ik denk dat al die fans van toen het kiezen in de top 2000 of hoe dat ook heet. Ik was in Tivoli bij hun concert in deze periode. En iedereen zong mee. dat concert werd later op de radio uitgezonden, Vara ofzo. Ik heb het cassette bandje nog lol.

[@EwaldEwald104]

Prachtige playback opname. En live zijn ze zo verdomd goed. Anno 2024 nog steeds.

[@annemariecandyflip6531]

The Cult🤩🎸🎤

[@Cassandrapopea]

IAN ASTBURY ( HERMOSO ÉL 💕 BRILLANTE SU ESTILO 👏🇦🇷🎶♥️ I ❤️ YOU THE CULT)

[@MeiDei6289]

Everyone was absolute perfection during this performance. Ian's vocal delivery was better than the studio recording!

[@reverendjames9842]

That definitely was the studio recording. Well mimed though!

[@SpookyElectric319]

They were lip syncing.

[@MeiDei6289]

Oh, bummer😔

[@Boomagonna]

F note perfect...

[@PrinceDecember]

que jovencisimos estaban por esos años

[@Ggrma45]

I turned a lot of people onto the Cult when this song came out....still love it !!

[@laszlobagi7564]

There was a music program in the 80s on sky channel called nescafe top40 and this guitar solo from the music is similar to its intro music 3:13

Lol I remember when I had hair like this 😂

[@FernandoSilva-tk5xn]

OMG...is a super band..

[@gypsylee73]

Oh god... Pearl Jam and now The Cult. They have to be my two fave bands.. And both vocalists have stood in for Jim Morrison with The Doors 🔥⚡️🪐

[@christinemanson3419]

omg seen them in newcastle last week ,WOW i must say he still has it,, ONE MAN SHOW BRILL NO BACKING SINGERS BRILL

[@PUREKULTliveshows]

dank je wel hoor!

[@MyWalk3296]

🎶🎶🎶 she's sells sanctuary 💞💞💞

[@laxeystu8096]

I dont think its possible for this line up to play this music as we hear it because of that strum they after each play of the riff. Still great song

[@seanbarnes1151]

Gotta love Billy busting out the country gentleman. The white falcon was in the shop.

[@solonechope]

Super

[@SpookyElectric319]

Those Gretch guitar's are great hey? The lead guitarist off simple minds.. Also..played same....

[@peterderidder9922]

Inthis song the guitar sound and melody dos it... in most of the live versions the voice and singing sucks. And yet again the guitar melody saves it. Now in this performance the voice and singing is good !! love the tune

[@4fit816]

Its not live. lol

[@scorpichella]

Astbury was so influenced by Jim Morrison lol

[@4fit816]

@scorpichella What part(s) of what Cult song sound like the Doors? I'll wait with my big bag of popcorn while you come up with a witty retort......all while giving zero examples.

[@scorpichella]

Well, you don't have to be snotty. I was meaning his stage presence and swagger@@4fit816

CFFC!

Ian Asbury is a sex God!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mr.furley6153]

This is painfully obvious that they are miming and lip synching to this classic. WtF, too cheap to perform live?!?
