The best era The Cult here…Death Cult, Dreamtime, Love

[@matthewherschleb6530]

FACTS!!!

[@nickgill5286]

Resurrection Joe is one of the Cult's best ever songs.

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Definitely

[@slydawgg]

Absolutely it is.👍

[@tylerskiss]

It’s part of their best era. Horse Nation, Go West, Hollow Man… maybe I would want Phoenix and Nirvana but beyond that they played all the songs I’d want from each album.

[@scotthargrove9289]

Damn right, it is!

[@DJVIC1989]

Absolutely

[@andrewsheldon7087]

There are tighter now they have ever been. I saw them on the Dreamtime tour in my younger years ❤ Saw them again in Sheffield they blew me away I felt 40 years younger for a brief moment in time,still love them my favourite Band.

[@AlternativeGuitars]

You're right, seems like they've raised the musicianship and intensity for this tour

[@cinderwolfneri8085]

My favourite band EVER as well!!! 😊👌

[@AlternativeGuitars]

@@cinderwolfneri8085 So many great riffs from that era Cult

[@kennymcbride8080]

Now that is a great flashback

[@woody5831]

Shame this wasn't Death Cult though only Billy & Ian

[@bizbazboz]

Massive respect to John Tempesta here, he's got his own style but he's really channeling Ray and Nigel (R.I.P.) amazingly well on these songs.

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Absolutely, John Tempesta nails the Ray and Nigel Death Cult drum parts, attenton to detail is unbelievable

[@cityslacker6221]

He definitely listened to the Lyceum shows to prep. His feel for the way they played these live is spot on!

[@vincenzollamas]

was wondering who that was, he does an excellent job (RIP Nigel, such a great drummer)

[@JewlThomas-mn9yy]

💜BILLY DUFFY ROCKS!!💜🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🙏🥂

[@DJVIC1989]

Hollow man!!!! Amazing song

[@tylerskiss]

I couldn’t ask for a better setlist!

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Need to keep some of these tracks in the main Cult setlist in the future - Resurrection Joe for a start

[@jacksplace9242]

Death Cult and Under the midnight sun are album quality concerts. Ian, Billy, and the band sound great!

[@mickemcgferret]

I missed this as I was away with work but this looks and sounds as good as when I saw the Death Cult back in the early 80's

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Next time quit work Mick!

[@TheSpringOf74]

Wow!, Thankyou for uploading this!. From an Ancient Cult fan, this made me very happy. I used to play my 'Live At The Lyceum' Video cassette so regulary in the early 90's my Video recorder ate the first copy and had to buy a new one immediately. Very emotional to see this set list played again, God knows what it must be like for Ian and Billy after 40yrs. They still have that special mystique and energy when they have an appreciating audience. Superb musicianship from all. The tribe of "The Cult!".

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Agree mate, it was unreal being in the room and hearing these songs played that I'd only ever seen on the Lyceum video

[@alscousin8936]

I get the logic of doing only the same venues they did in '83, but oh man, if they brought the Southern/Death Cult to the States, we'd lose our minds. There's still a lot of elder goths out here that would jump at the chance to see/hear that set.🖤🖤🖤

[@AlternativeGuitars]

40th anniversary of The Cult next year so i'm sure they'll do a world tour with a varied setlist

[@gazza4065]

I loved seeing them play the old songs of the 80s .If they did a Southern Death Cult tour it would be as incredible. Awesome stuff

[@paulgriffiths2932]

saw them in liverpool.bucket list for me as i missed them 1st time around....83rd dream made my head fall off

[@AlternativeGuitars]

From those forst note Paul - was taken back to being a teenager watching the Live at the Lyceum gig

[@beerwolf8518]

This is so cool. Thank you for posting. It's so cool seeing them revisit some Southern Death Cult/Death Cult era songs. It looks like it was a really great show!

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Was amazing to see them do that setlist Beerwolf

[@pauladrianemery1072]

Thanks for recording this. Monday night in Brixton was amazing, I thought Charlie and JT nailed it as a rhythm section. The whole band were on fire and Ian's voice is particularly strong. I spent most of the gig at the front on Billy's side in awe. I saw you at the end recording at the back and thought I recognise that guy from somewhere... So good to hear these songs live again, Resurrection Joe and Gods Zoo especially.

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Thanks Paul, agree, rhythm section was phenomenal, JT absolutely nailing Nigel Prestons drum parts, was like the 1984 Lyceum gig coming to life, unreal. Videod the first night from next to the mixing desk then didn't touch the camera on the 2nd night, like you was on Billys side and just enjoyed the energy of the band and crown, ears were shot the next day, loudest gig I've been to in ages

[@pauladrianemery1072]

@@AlternativeGuitars The house PA was definitely very down at the front, I felt it during the gig and the next day especially in my right ear.

[@peterrook7822]

Agree J T’s drumming was superb and with Charlie gave a great base for Ian and Billy to play off

[@anmedeiros]

Astbury/Duffy are without a doubt one of rock's great marriages. Timeless songs, the same spirit, the same journey since the first time I heard it... Fantastic. Post punk bows before the sonic force.

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Well said

[@judiw8323]

Great night, thanks for pulling together this great multicam! 🎸🎸

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Thanks!

[@dirtstyles]

Resurrection Joe sounds banging, they should have it as part of The Cult's setlist :D

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Yeah, for too long they ignored it (dropped iin 1985), now it sounds like it should be the first song on the setlist

[@dirtstyles]

Jamie Stewarts bassline on it is one of my favourites of any song, cover coming from you sir? :D @@AlternativeGuitars

[@brianleslie8371]

Brings back great memories hearing the older stuff. Hope they keep some of it for future tours rather than some of the stuff they always play.

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Agree, I'd much rather hear Gods Zoo/Res Joe than some of the Electric/Sonic Temple tunes

De arrepiar! De arrepiar & arrepiar! Melhor banda do mundo, The Cult. 🤟😎🖤 Trazendo shows de determinadas épocas desde 2009 com love, e consecutivamente com mestria e agora nos brindando com Death Cult, meus parabéns e incrível! Só quem foi em um show do The cult, entende! D!3go Kost3l@... 🤟😎🖤🎸🎵🎹

[@Ian666peace]

I first heard Hollow Man very early well before Love was released. It was played at twice the speed. It was awesome

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Nice one. I've heard a bootleg with the fast Hollow Man on there, also has Sanctuary without the intro, just goes straight into the track

[@kennymcbride8080]

Just a runner for the devil

[@Ian666peace]

@@AlternativeGuitars I was really disappointed when Love came out with that ultra slow version. I had played that bootleg to death for about a year before the album came out. The speed versio was twice as good.

[@LuizBetenheuserJr]

Thank you! Muito obrigado!

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Saúde Luiz!

[@tylerskiss]

I love when bands release that one-9ff single that stands on its own and because it’s not on an album proper, you sometimes forget about it for a bit. The Cure had Charlotte Sometimes, Bauhaus had Lagartija Nick, FotN had Blue Water and Psychonaut, Bunnymen had The Puppet, Killing Joke had A New Day… just perfect aural gems. I wish bands would do the same today. Digital media should have made it so much easier, but no one really takes advantage of it.

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Yeah, the 'Non Album single' - great back in the day. 'Who Wants To Be The Disco King' between The Wonder Stuffs first 2 albums was another good one

The audio and video quality of this is excellent. Thank you very much for editing it together and uploading it. May I humbly ask whether you might be working on a similar effort for the second night at the Brixton Electric, featuring Jamie on "Resurrection Joe" and "Horse Nation"?

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Thanks !. I only shot video on the Monday (then asked people if I could edit their footage into the vid), I spent the Tuesday night down the front so didn't take any video, really enjoyed seeing Jamie jumping around with a big smile on his face. Resurrection Joe should be back in The Cults set for good

[@Albrecht777]

@@AlternativeGuitars @AlternativeGuitars Much gratitude for your ultra-swift reply. I can understand your decision. After all, concerts - particularly special evenings like that - are to be enjoyed and experienced with the spirit, as well as with the ears and eyes. I was tempted to bring a "professional" recording device to the Tuesday night, but was a little worried that it would get confiscated. As such, I abandoned the idea. Incidentally, if you were in the first row near Jamie, than you may have been next to my girlfriend and me. We were down the front opposite him / Charlie My jaw hit the floor when Jamie took to the stage. I was on cloud nine... and probably still am! Thanks again for all your efforts with your excellent videos.

[@Cruser1068]

I'm uploading my multicam of the 21st tonight mate. I'm disappointed at the response to my request for more footage, especially from those You tubers who have released the entire gig themselves from their own camera but don't appear interested in a collaboration effort, or even prepared to discuss it. It makes no sense to me. So it's going up with what I've got so far. Some songs have several angles, some only have 1....but the whole set is there! It could have been epic....but it's still OK!

[@AlternativeGuitars]

@@Cruser1068 Its hit and miss what footage you can get hold of, for Go West and Flower In The Desert I only have 2 angles (Mine and Rui's on the other side), much more footage of the more popular tracks. See what you can put together (I always leave comments asking if can use the filming), I wish I could help you out but didn't take any shots on Tuuesday, was too busy going deaf down the front !

[@Cruser1068]

@@AlternativeGuitars I was at front too...just left of center. I give up now. I've tried really hard to get people to join in. I've been told not to talk about the project on one forum in case it upsets the band (ffs) and even banned from commenting at all for a month on another, despite not even being asked first to not mention the project. It's beginning to leave a bad taste in my mouth now so I'm just going to publish as is. But my Sanctuary edit shows what could have been possible with just a bit more help from the so called fans.

Is there going to be an European tour? Any new songs/material?

[@EricJohnson-md4cd]

And how long does it last?

[@sybamunki]

This is a bit nerdy, but they seem to be using both stage monitors and in ear monitors. Anyone know why? usually bands use one or the other.

[@AlternativeGuitars]

I seem to recall Duffy doesn't use IEM (so he has 4 floor monitors around him) the others have one or 2 in case of IEM falure maybe

[@Cruser1068]

Tuesday I saw Ian pull his ear monitors out midway through....and he was also kicking the monitors about early on....clearly things weren't quite right!

[@mikethompson5549]

Difference between Death cult & Cult?

[@AlternativeGuitars]

They dropped the "Death" from the name as they thought it was too negative, then became the cult in 1984. The early Death Cult tracks are brilliant - Gods Zoo, Brothers Grimm, Christians etc

[@emilewicz14]

Who is the man at the back? A technician or a second guitarist? I hear one guitar, but I'm going deaf.

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Billy Duffys guitar tech - looks after the guitar changes between songs

[@sybamunki]

also, he's playing gretsch falcons which go out of tune easily when he uses the whammy, so looks like he has about 3 and the tech will be tuning them up behind the scenes.

[@jonmeehan23]

Great quality video. i do feel Jamie's pain though. in his defence, the poor bass player ( I don't know any names after Les Warner & Haggis :/ ) probably only had a couple of weeks how to learn to play up/down strokes with a pick. I learnt to play watching Jamie & Stuart Morrow on VHS so i reckon on this occasion, yes, i probably could have done a better job on the bass myself lol ;)

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Really impressed with John Tempesta (Drums) nailing the feel of the tracks, Bassist Charlie Jones has played with lots of decent artists (Siouxsie, Robert Plant, Goldfrapp). You could have fitted in on bass Jon !
