[@catblitzchris349]

The 80's music we need in 2023!

[@brianandlindafairchild1237]

Now 24

[@mattw0504]

Oh man! I was there!! 15 years old and we missed all the trains home, stuck in town all night and still one of the best and funniest nights of my life!!

[@edleifer6719]

and most probably so worth it

[@drummerbuzz]

Billy Duffy was so under-rated! He is one badass player.

[@terryholden4497]

too bloody right

[@michiel2156]

Neve seen them , but made such an impression this song. I started playing drums, just because of it. I was 10

[@dionnelane6445]

The energy was so much better in the 80's, miss it man.

[@dionnelane6445]

Where, please show me.

[@mikewagon1770]

Wish I could give your than one thumb up...... cause you are right a million times over.

[@TobysRedSock]

Wish I could give your thumb than one up......wait...

[@mikewagon1770]

lol....just caught that.... more than one thumbs up....lpl

[@BubbaZen10]

The coke was much better.

[@BubbaZen10]

Look at that crowd man. Yeah ... That's what it was like back then son.

[@sooofunny37]

no bleedin cell phones or selfies or selfie sticks or vid cams

[@BubbaZen10]

And if anyone had done that back then? Wasn't gonna last long mate! ;)

[@bikezonly]

Hell yeah! \m/ \m/

[@mikebuchanan6164]

And you could smoke a joint inside. And not get rushed out of the parking lot before a show. Long time gone. Glad I saw it first hand.

[@theivory1]

Oh I remember. Impossible to forget.

[@820south3]

Notice how the crowd is DANCING? Now they stand there getting it all on their cell phones; glad I experienced this back in the day.

[@820south3]

spiralout72: Thanks for the comment...have a great holiday.

[@SpiritusMundi4EVER]

Well said, sir! Good rock music (and good music in general) is supposed to take you out of your reality--your mind and body enter another dimension and you go where that flow takes you. Before cellphones and (anti)social media took over our lives, people LIVED!!! I miss those days.....

[@820south3]

K: Couldn't agree with you more...god I'm starting to sound like my parents.."Music was so much better when I was young" I'm beginning to see what they meant...

[@820south3]

[@SpiritusMundi4EVER]

And don't buy into this horseshit about "good music is out there, you just have to look for it". If its good music, then shouldn't it find us? Back then it did.

[@tina.i201]

Now 2020 i still crave the 80s

[@grazio599]

they sound much better in concert with a two guitar line-up. the rhythm line drives much harder with it. great song!

[@MikeAdamsonohyababy]

Billy Duffy rules all over!

[@socalveteran73]

One of the best driving songs!

[@barriejackson965]

Yes, it looks and sounds pretty awesome, what a guitar sound.

[@Edyth_Hedd]

Saw them in Boston in '87. Still the best concert I've ever been to.

[@maxxm28]

Always loved the Cult from day 1. I always felt like they were ahead of the curve musically. They had a distinctive 80's style, but one all their own. And who can argue with that amazing Gretch guitar sound!!!

[@andyglamrock]

I bought three Gretsches because of Billy Duffy

[@maxxm28]

@@andyglamrock That is awesome!

[@maxxm28]

@@andyglamrock They are such nice guitars.

[@ilikeplanes4616]

That stuff isn't possible to beat, the 80's sure was full of the greatest rock bands EVAH

[@alphaomega4874]

One of the greatest songs ever invented.

[@lucianello100]

I was there,may 1986,teatro Tendastrisce,in Roma.Tonnes of hashish were burnt. Greatness

[@chrisboyes3511]

Ha I was there! Can’t believe I’ve found this! Great gig! Memories! 😎👍🏻🤘🏻

[@MarzNet256]

Song still kicks ass. They killed it live.

[@gabrielgriffin9230]

The sound is super good here...its like they turned it to 11 ...the world turns around.☺️

[@REDWASP777]

Oh my lord!!! Those angelic vocals of Ian Astbury and the massively monster chords of Billy Duffy! No comparison!

[@boomerstacks]

Seen them LIVE here in Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA in 1987 and it was the best concert I have ever seen....I remember that Guns N Roses opened up for them and they could could not win the crowd over! The Cult Forever!!!!! Later!

[@EdwoodCA]

Very cool to see them feature Jamie [the bass player] having a blast playing rhythm guitar! [for tour dates].

[@drwho6908]

Who's playing bass then?

[@CS-1988]

Stephen haggis Harris (kid Chaos)

[@docnelson2000]

Now 43 years old. Thanks to Darren Brown in Ballyclare High School for introducing me to The Cult and The Damned....still listening all those years later. Doc

[@evromsd]

I wish they would digitaly remaster these performances from the 80's some of the best live rock shows ever.

[@redlabel3977]

wish I was back there again ..

[@robertbruce5213]

Still the best rock song ever

[@nancycoffman5707]

Ian, Billy and Jamie are spot on once again. I love this 💓!

[@matthewgabriel-smith149]

I was in that audience....Not sure I could do it now im 50+ lol was a great night!!!!

[@matthewcarlton5693]

Saw them in 1987 in Detroit. They had like 8 extra guitarists it seemed. Great f@$#%$%ing show!

[@corywurdemann4414]

[@bikezonly]

Ageless classic. Always has me dancing when I hear this song.

[@fabiodaddabbo5591]

[@littletiger7tv971]

"Fire in ur eyes ... keeps me alive" - I love that lyric so much ... (:xxx

[@liambusch]

This would have been one of the best hard rock concerts to be at, The Cult back in their prime, rockin hard!

[@jayrock8564]

My favorite 80s band,till today.

[@AstoriaHeard]

The Cult in Brixton. Sounds like heaven.

[@gerryburns9090]

[@michaelarmendariz640]

and no hands in the air with a cell phone...just hands in the air of people rockin out like they should be!

[@Taffy84]

I saw them live in 1987. They were loud and good.

[@u00as]

In fact i almost might hazard a guess that Ian's hammered in this. Ha I was there! Can’t believe I’ve found this! Great gig! Memories! 😎👍🏻🤘🏻 0:52: ala bra la bang baby owww!

[@John55770]

I LOVE these guys so much. That said I saw at least 3 tours where Ian wasn't up to his best. I am listening now agin, I love them and the music, they are so talented....

[@jdd247]

I had this concert on video for years - never get bored of watching it. Still a great fucking live band.

[@maqtaq]

One of my favs back then. And best enjoyed after 26 years and (again) without a beer-belly...

[@Merijustus]

That's the truth,if I never hear it again,THE CULT F'N ROCK'S !!!!!! CSC/09

[@TheKingofRockMusic]

[@gregbutcher_musicplacecheck12]

Rock on the 80's. what a great time for music.

[@RoosterStone]

I love this. It's raw, it's loud and it's real. Any true Cult fan can admire this for all it's glory! From Southern Death Cult to their new album "Weapon of Choice" they have continued to progress and rock me, heart & soul!

[@glaceeisbecher6660]

Très jolie jeu de lumières et jolie chanson.

[@smithereensfan]

amazing sounds from the guitar. this performance gives me chills.

[@pajaroloquito22]

First concert I saw was the The Cult opening for Billy Idol.

[@alexanderg7790]

That gig sounds like it was pure awesome just thinking about it.

[@REDWASP777]

You were anointed for sure!!!

[@sivaprasad465]

awesome!

[@paulokussler7274]

Época boa que surgiram essas bandas, não canso de escutar essas músicas da minha época.

[@kentsbay]

In fact i almost might hazard a guess that Ian's hammered in this.

[@alanray7983]

Ya think?

[@lucianocopete]

Of course dude, album versions most of the times sounds better than live ones because album versions are centered arround the singers voice!

[@KeeganBrooks]

Played this at the State club in Liverpool! Art deco club with Italian marble pillars ,huge mirrors,dry ice and the first laser to be used the UK......with a kickass sound system,great dj's playing great mix of songs.the club was used by FGTH in the banned version of Relax also the film ' A Letter To Brezhnev' featured a lot of scenes inside the club! Been in clubs all around the world,nowhere comes close!

[@WILVERINE38]

awesome tune!

[@hewmatts373]

AWESOME !

[@adrianflaherty240]

I and a few mates were at the gig. Brixton Academy should be on the same level of "where do you want to play?" as "as a guitarist, what amp would you like to have?' Brixton and Marshall. The Cult - Rock Gods with Semi's.

[@thinsnake]

Can't believe anyone would want to slag this man off? Awesome voice and what a front man!! Would love to see what these people can do?? Bring it on!

[@gilbertoportillo8850]

Impresionanteeeeeee.!!! THE CULT y esa ferozzz VOZ de Ian Astbury.!!!

[@jonesy2111]

Best version of this song aside from the studio version. It absolutely rocks the way he power chords it and puts real energy in the mix

[@JD-bd5rd]

Except for the fact that Ian ruined the performance with unintelligible mumbling

[@andyglamrock]

yeah too bad Ian fkked it up

[@TheOod666]

I'm there 16 rows back!!!
