The Cult Live Munich Alabamahalle 03/02/86 (2 Of 2)

[@lfreiremolina]

one of the rock bands that deserves to be recognized as the best in history

[@sandrafisherhayes3219]

Absolutely! Right on Brother! 👍💕

[@FuneraryGirl]

👏👏👏Amazing rock band that included women and men as fans, meaning that women weren’t treated as the arm candy. I really appreciated that.

[@bryanhamner]

Yeah big time

[@mariocooldude9092]

Yeah man...they influenced a lot of 90's bands 👍 smashing pumpkins...Foo Fighters etc.

[@malcolmbeckett9802]

​@FuneraryGirl yes some bands are men only, sad basterds😢

[@podgorneyjohn]

The Cult at their best! Awesome sound!

[@kelbell9312]

Classic Cult I love this sound xxx

[@UncivilizedMan]

Great rock songs who stood the test of the time and a charismatic singer with a haunting voice makes The Cult one of my all-times favourites rock bands... It's amazing they still have such following and it just speaks for itself.

[@albertoalmeida3424]

Revolution and Sanctuary live. Great concert!

[@sabrinadurando4498]

Young and lovable Cult in concert... I love them from ever...and love Ian...Forever!

[@paoloamici7944]

Great The Cult forever ❤️😀

[@sulatlalaki]

Man oh man I wish I had seen them live at this time period! Simply their best, b4 Electric.

[@danielpiper4346]

Just found this video... can’t believe it... saw them on this tour in in Hamburg at the Markthalle... 😃 Still remember it damn good, we arrived pretty early, so we made it to the first row right in front of the stage. LOVE is one of my all time favorite albums... ( btw, with Mark Brzezicki from Big Country on drums. Unfortunately only on the album, not on the tour)

[@johnking3341]

I was there Charles and it was every bit as awesome as it looks and sounds! Been a fan since '85. Still my favorite band to this day!

[@crist6353]

Seems like yesterday that I was wearing out this album on cassette. Underrated album......and band.

[@Demonykann]

They're Amazing, I'm filled with Love and Content!! Always 🖤

[@dynjarren8355]

The Love album was so great with it Goth ambience and guitar sound. This show is a document of the original Cult before they lost the drummer to drugs. And the bass player quit. I recently saw a Cult show and they look and sound as good as ever after 40 years. Not many bands can say that. Great band! 👏🏻😎

[@eugenemclemmont4045]

Thats Les Warner on drums, not Nigel Preston, Rip Nigel.

[@paulclalchungnunga9873]

This is lovely & Sweet nostalgia tbh

[@johnking3341]

I think they sound even better here than the gig at the The Ritz in New York a few months prior. And the beginning of RAIN is so incredible! I got chills watching it! And Ian at 15:47 overwhelmed by the whole experience! Fantastic! Best live version of She Sells Sanctuary EVER!!

[@froebeldefanti2021]

Saudades dessa grande banda que um dia ouvi tanto. Me restaram os discos de vinis. Som que marcou minha adolescência e juventude. Ouço até hoje. A voz inconfundível de Ian Astbury eternizada nas músicas que marcaram minha geração

[@user-ym4mg3jd2v]

I love The Cult. Seen them a bunch of times. One of the most underrated bands ever.

[@carinajohansson8696]

Love ians long black hair and every thing about him ❤️🏹

[@alanpritchard1768]

Apart from his lazy singing! lol

[@lnewman5808]

Ian’s voice sounds wonderful!

[@mattsmith2569]

...no so anymore, age has taken his unique voice!🙁

[@jmzbnd724]

nice vid...nothing beats LOVE days

[@c.a.monroe294]

Great version. Glad to finally see how Brother Wolf, Sister Moon was played (too bad it was cut off). I do not think there is video of when they played it at the Ritz, but I always wondered if that show had been overdubbed due to the use of a second guitar during Brother Wolf, Sister Moon. Now I know how it was done...it was JAMIE! Playing the same guitar seen being used by Ian during the Whistle Test version of Ressurection Joe and also used by Billy during the "official" video for Revolution. Jamie played it for the intro to Brother Wolf and then switched back to bass to finish off the rest of the song! Brilliant!

[@cesarcervantes2192]

Para. Mi gusto. El. Mejor. Álbum. De. Esta gran banda. Love.

[@nmacog]

Their finest moment LOVE - saw them a few weeks ago at Brixton Academy London, they still sound great - the White & Black Falcons were on parade too !

[@tomsawyer6100]

Def something magical about the Love album. I didn't like the direction they went with Electric but it was still a good record. As the 80's were coming to an end, rock was expanding, and the New Wave era was over, so their sound had to evolve. Nothing wrong with artist integrity and changing with the times, but once you have created perfection, it doesn't make sense to do the same thing with different lyrics.

[@mrjon75]

While I slightly prefer LOVE at this time, I'm not mad at ELECTRIC ⚡ at all :)

[@bigscountrygame3510]

I’ve always wondered what if? If they hadn’t met Rick Rubin? Because this album in my opinion is perfect! 😎

[@Nominay]

Electric was the solution to them being stylistically in flux. Their heart was no longer in post punk at all, but Ian was right - they needed Rick Rubin. Electric sounds like a punk band making a rock record. The Cult's fall from grace was falling for the American rock trip in full, which happened outside the studio (after Electric was complete).

[@DebraNormand]

The Cult was the perfect undefined band during this time of the Love album. You couldn't really identify or label them; then came the Electric album and they were totally different. Compared to songs like Lil Devil this song sounds like Mozart. Nothing they've done since will ever compare to the Love album, which in my humble opinion was the pinnacle of their success. How does a band go from being on top musically then go down change format over the years but still survive? The Cult are an enigma.

[@krasteff]

They never found their ego. And the British never found the way to the record shop to buy their records, that combination killed them like many others.

[@rickmcarthur67]

It didn't kill them at all! It made them Goth/Rock legends much in the same way that The Doors became legends of the Psychedelic 60's without anyone having to die for the cause! This was made all the more true as Ian Asbury was called into perform as a cover singer with The Doors remaining members a while back on some TV shows in the US! I agree that The Love album in some way was the pinnacle of their success if only for the purity of the songs unique aspects that helped bring the Gothic era of the 80's into the mainstream for the rest of the world, although not completely above that, as when I saw them at Wembley Arena in 1989 on the Sonic Temple tour, with a friend of mine from the US, they had got their magic back in spades after the overhyped and under written production of the Electric album and inconsequential tour that followed it! I was miraculously fortunate enough to meet and get my picture taken with Ian at a Killing Joke gig in '86 at London's Hammersmith Palais Ballroom, the photo is on my Facebook album-Rick Anthony McArthur.

[@krasteff]

Rick McArthur, The goth rock legends that never play the 8 tracks they released on vinyl as SDC and DC, never after 1984 or maybe only Horse nation so as not to disturb the headbangers.

[@DarrenGlen]

"How does a band go from being on top musically then go down change format over the years but still survive?" By essentially dumping their audience for a new one...a bigger one....that ACDC already had formed for them. Lots of people turned off The Cult after 86...but a lottt more turned onto them in 87. Not the same faces tho. Massive risk

[@andrepereira744]

Bs. Electric is diferent from Love as Love is diferent from Dreamtime. According to their own words,they always wanted that hard-rock/rock sound since the begining,so..

[@omarecheverria5512]

Excellent show!!

How FRUSTRATING! Brother Wolf and Sister Moon interrupted and cut off! One of my favorite cuts off the Love LP.

[@sandrafisherhayes3219]

Yes that pissed me off too! Brother Wolf Sister Moon was an instant favourite of mine soon as I heard it ❤

one of the best rock bands ever..still loving god's zoo era, spiritwalker and love the most. Electric was good but Rick Rubined. and after that the 1994 album.

[@AlternativeGuitars]

Would love to see the entire concert of this, shame Brother Wolf Sister Moon was cut off. Have a look at some of my early Cult guitar covers - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZepoJprYt2Crc0

[@mattman237]

Hmmm, on the Live Marquee album, released in 91, Ian says Brother Wolf is a song they've never played live before.

[@eugenemclemmont4045]

That bugged me cause ive heard it live before that, think he means at the Marquee.

[@doormagic]

11:47 Rain

[@fhumperdink8897]

The Ritz show was just 3 months earlier than this. Ian went from looking like a middle-aged gypsy woman into a true 80's hard rock star. VERY quick transformation. Had RR gotten to them yet? I know they were finishing this tour.

[@mlwsf]

Part of it was that they had met Rick Rubin by then and he would transform them some as he produced Electric

[@nocturnalnurse2138]

04:33 Ian had one of his moments.

[@karenunderhill4305]

What does he say? “Get the ball” Scottish twang there coming through. Love it better than his American banter.

Hi ! I have another channel on which I upload bootleg shows (including the Cult) and I try to run them at 50-60 frames per second and to remaster them if I can. I usually use DVD's to get the best possible quality. Do you still have the DVD for this video and if so, would it be a problem to transfer it to me via WeTransfer or MEGA ?

[@TravisBickle1963]

What 'other' channel? and all my stuff comes from vhs

[@NergusElGugus]

@@TravisBickle1963 That channel : kzbin.info/door/5MDHFx5sFkfe8S3vioDeiA Oh great for that ! You can rip a VHS to DVD if I remember Well (if you do it one day, remember to include deinterlacing on it, that's the thing that allows these programs to run at 50-60 frames per second). If you don't have time or if you're not interested I can fully understand, I'm already pleased you answered my comment.

[@TravisBickle1963]

@@NergusElGugus I can see you have other Cult videos on your channel they probably originated from my VHS collection also. I will have a look for this tape in the next few days but sometimes I have trouble finding as they are not catalogued

[@NergusElGugus]

@@TravisBickle1963 Thank you very much for taking the time. So that means you did share some of these bootlegs online as DVD's ? I'm asking this because most of the time I find them on torrenting or on Guitars101.com

[@TravisBickle1963]

@@NergusElGugus I gave some to Dark Circle Room and he shared some on Dime as well

[@fhumperdink8897]

Nice. But what we are seeing here is the slow transformation of The Love into Electric Phase. Ian is dressing and singing much more like a punk/hard rock singer. Billy lost his cool haircut for this. Someone is TRYING to make J Stewart look better. Les looks like he crawled out of a sewer. Nevertheless, this merging phase was perfect because it gave the LOVE songs a bit more edge. Nothing beats The Cult playing Big Neon Glitter or The Snake...Jesus, those hits got swept under the rug. I love this band! Long live them!

[@ElectricLabel]

Les Warner was fucking useless. He plods and hits his way through every groove, somehow Billy and Jamie manage to keep it swinging. Such a shame they lost Nigel when they did, right after Sanctuary. Mark Brzezicki did a great job on the rest of the album, but even when they had great drummers like Charlie Drayton they never quite had the alchemy they had with Nigel Preston. There's a live recording of Les Warner trying to play "Horse Nation" at the Brixton show on the Electric tour and its a complete travesty. Thankfully he didn't play on Love and that album is a masterpiece. It was a sad day when they became just another rock band.

[@andrepereira744]

Fuck off,they never were just another rock band!

[@danieleriksson1448]

Charlie Drayton played bass on Ceremony as far as I know. But I agree it´s a shame they lost Nigel Preston, I would have loved to have him in this period also. Then we never know what would have happened during the Electric-era.
