The Cult play ‘Edie (Ciao Baby’ live at Boston’s HOB (12/14/19)

[@apbadogs]

Sonic Temple has to be one of the best albums ever released.

[@KillerBill1953]

One of the most beautiful intros to any song.

[@916hayabusa]

Yes, a great intro and here live too.

[@OG_Wakanobi]

Whenever I listen to The Cult, so do my neighbors.

[@alegria1883]

Lucky neighbors 👍

[@CarrigansGuitarClub]

I can remember in August 1987 after my leaving cert listening to The Cult.....memories and times I wish I could go back too :)

[@simonlaurens584]

Always been my favourite band and Edie is one of my all time best loved songs. The Cult will always kick ass!!!

[@aniaamok6550]

The guitar is on point. Like always.

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

What a superb song! Great music from the iconic Cult! Have loved this band since their debut album!!

[@letmerephrasethat5208]

They really came of age with Love, but man does Gimmick deserve dusting off every now and then. And that juggernaut Zap City ended up as an EP b-side...

[@kiltedwolf2]

My favorite live version of this iconic song was the LA version in '94 but how can any of them be off? Billy Duffy is always brilliant. Nice seeing and hearing strings in the background. I never tire of this song.

[@jimbomorrison7133]

Love this song. RIP Edie Sedgwick.

[@lucachichiarelli3534]

Timeless song and ever great rock band! What else?

[@drivesideways6550]

Billy's playing is Great!

[@danielgama9663]

The cult fez parte da minha adolescência 😍😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@BillyDufy]

Sou amarradao no the cult tbm, até hj escuto direto

[@mrlovegod21]

billy is a very talented guitarist. .like his mate johnny marr too.its that manchester council pop.👍

[@marspara]

What a song! A life without a care

[@MrBoston987]

Billy has still got it. Ian, not so much. But truth be told, Ian was always a bit lazy with the vocals live……flat on notes, dropping lyrics…etc. That said, Id see them live again in a heartbeat.

[@TheAbbott34]

He's lost his range I guess but it's still good and good to see them

[@mishatomskovich7103]

endless pleasure listening to Billy Duffy play guitar...

[@zepgirl6495]

Just saw them on 4/21/22 in St Petersburg, FL. Maybe he was not feeling well....some time was what Ian needed to get back on his game. Because he certainly was Thursday....voice was amazing!!

[@clavisargentumpictures2852]

Honestly, he seems like he's putting in a huge effort, but i also get a hint of possible vocal injury. We ask a lot from singers, especially in such a virtuosic genre. Hes a baritone that often belts in a tenor's range with a lot of distortion for accent. I wouldnt be surprised to learn he's injured himself running that marathon for 40 years. Note they've tuned this down a semitone from the recorded version. I suspect that's the reason.

[@bradleykitzman6908]

Very Good Show, Excellent Small Venue Concert!

[@jeminthehologram]

I'm so glad that didnt suck. They still got it. 🔥🔥🔥 I wish they'd come to Hawaii.

[@tommyschlegel5653]

That could have been better. Glad you liked it, but it was lacking.

[@Phil1stalk]

I was thinking the same thing. lol

[@revolutionday1]

Damn- they've even got people playing the string parts live!

[@karinmattson9029]

I'm old enough to have known who Edie Sedgewick was in the 1960's and to have seen "Ciao Manhattan" as a teenager. I always saw her as a tragic figure. But I never expected a (male) band of the 1980's to express compassion for a supposedly spoiled rich girl. Damn, this is a great song. I come back to it often.

[@anastasiazamani861]

So much compassion indeed.Such a beautiful, sad song ❤️🌹🌹

[@kiltedwolf2]

Ian Astbury had the same infatuation. This is how the song came about. He researched it and came up with this masterpiece. I remember Edie Sedgwick as well. I recall her doing an interview on someone's late night TV show with Andy Warhol. That little weasel didn't say ONE word while she fumbled through the uncomfortable interview. A host's nightmare. Her father got her hooked on drugs. Those in the "Factory" just hastened her demise. She was a sad tomato.

[@lotuselise4432]

Mate used to be the bassist in Southern Death Cult.

[@edsonfranciscodasilvasilva5900]

Billy Duffy, está ainda melhor. Isso é para poucos. Só os excepcionais conseguem! 👏 👏 👏

[@ClassicGBodyGarage]

Damn these guys nailed it, still. I need to see them again. Saw them back in the 90s. EPIC

[@sumonjamal1653]

The Cult is one of the best ⚡🔥🤘

[@tinaballinger2903]

OMG! What that band has done for me in the past and to date. They can bring you know farther than up. I promise!!!!

[@handybaggy]

I would pay £50 all night long just to see Billy Duffy play this song!

[@shelelerj]

What a treasure! ❤

[@garethsavin4464]

My youth,my first love,my end.

[@courtneymcdaniel3546]

So under appreciated..

[@cooltrainsinmontreal4883]

Impressive song, well done live

[@jelenaradojevic5242]

Zauvek najbolji👍💓👍

[@marspara]

I bought in UK the Ciao Baby single CD in 1990 and it came with the wrong recording in it...bizarre!

[@juliethomas7311]

✨BEAUTIFUL✨ ✨ FOREVER ✨ ✨ 💜✨

[@lassedk4955]

God i miss the 80s...

[@jimcook8933]

When using a wah-wah peddle it's vital to imitate the sound with your mouth, it just happens!!

[@JorgeMunoz-bl6oc]

Este grupo toca su interpretación de este tema de the Cult, del LP Ceremony, en el que destaca White en el concierto zepelinians por su duración, que disfrutamos en el estadio de basket de Fonteta de San Luis, de cuyo barriete es original Camilo Sesto, que canta en Jesucristo Superstar...

[@JorgeMunoz-bl6oc]

Por qué se llama esta vez este grupo, pues no es un plagio, es obra de Eternity.

[@carlosrobertoandrade7823]

The best

[@tommyschlegel5653]

Sorry I saw this...I named my daughter Edie because of my love for this song. Old guitars are great. Old amps are great. Great voices don't age as well...Great song, not so great performance.

[@DonAmos_stories]

What kind of Gibson is it?

[@aniaamok6550]

Oh, Ian!!! What happened to your voice?

[@BA-hz6lu]

Billy looks better the way he does now, coz he looks like me ❤️😎

[@juliethomas7311]

✨🌺2022🌺✨

[@filippavlas8333]

Best...)))) 👍👍👍👊

[@ColdWindRJ]

🤘🏻

[@sharonart9903]

q paso con la voz de ian astbury...me dio cosa pobre

[@craigbarlow8204]

Always loved the cult. Just got tix for them supporting Alice cooper next year. Hope singer improves, it’s painful hearing him.

[@jumpinjojo]

Hi voice is toasted, but despite that, it's a great song.

[@matsfrommusic]

With a string section... 😵

[@stephenhubber9184]

The vocalist has lost it somewhat.

[@joeywillings9189]

I love the cult but his singing is absolutely horrible!!! What is he trying to do? Horrible!!!

[@UndeadBoogie]

Ever been on tour for a year and sing every single day? It takes a toll.

[@catalinatiu9111]

That's what aging does even if you do your best. But Ian will always be awesome just by mere stage presence. The Cult will always be a great band.

[@garyquinn4260]

I Love this tune but Holy Crap...Joey, I'm with you Buddy. Ian!! Just sing the Fucking Song! Stop Fucking around!!

[@washingtonbatistadesouza6928]

Ian Asturby lost voice quality with times, more still is great singer

[@badasstracks1754]

Astburys gone tone deaf. Pity that

[@rildolopes1858]

Que apresentação fraca, desanimado

[@nomo9344]

ehh, not digging the vocals
