[kj] RE: CULT

[ade]

I love it, but I know what you're saying - give me SDC to Dreamtime-era live
any day.

  The Cult broke my heart the day I heard Electric - they had true
originality in the early days - SDC to Dreamtime - love Love, but the follow
up floored me - absolutely awful pub rock/sub zeppelin/acdc shite.

    Really glad you had a good time, Jane, after being disappointed in
    Manchester. I too saw them at Brixton, Rob, I was upstairs (too much of
a
    lightweight for moshpit, too short to stand at back! :-) ) and had a
    wonderful time - I was on my feet dancing from the first song - feet
still
    hurt and ears still ringing now.

    Noticed there was a bit of a split in the crowd though - a lot of people
    were really into the "Firewoman" and later stuff, whereas there were
types
    like me who were really into "Spiritwalker" and "Phoenix" - suddenly I
    remembered all the goth arm movements even though I haven't done them
for
    over 20 years!! Mind you, they only played three songs I didn't
recognise -
    and I went off them after "Electric" - so it was old hits all the way.
    Slightly disappointed they didn't play "Go West" or "Nirvana", but not
    complaining really. Ian Astbury still has a great voice and both he and
    Billy Duffy still look fab, they're both very trim and toned. I reckon
they
    must work out A LOT - I wish Mr. Coleman would do the same! ;-)
