The Cult, Royal Albert Hall 10.10.09.

A right result here, as I thought I was row H seat one, when in fact I was entrance H row one meaning I was right down the front for the Cult performing their classic album 'Love'. This is the one with 'Rain' and 'She Sells Sanctuary' on it both sounding great live with lots of bouncing during the latter. After they finished the album they returned for a best of the rest set for forty minutes including 'Edie (Ciao Baby)', 'Fire Woman' and 'Dirty Little Rock Star'. Only singer Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy returned on stage for the encore where they intoduced bassist Jaime Stewart and a Mark Brzecki (also the drummer from Big Country) to the stage, meaning the original line-up that recorded the Love album were together. They then repeated a couple of the songs, 'Pheonix' and of course ' She Sells Sanctuary' again. Being only a four piece, compared to the current line-up of five they did manage to give the songs a slighly different feel to them. On the way out I could have bought a USB of the show, however this was £30 (the same price as the concert ticket) which I found to be too expensive. You would have thought it would be cheaper when Concert Live put out treble CDs of shows on the night for £20.00.
