Product Description

A group of hard-core rockers who spun social upheaval into something fresh, brash and dynamic, The Cult emerged out of Britain's music scene in the early 1980s and quickly rose to the forefront of "Positive Punk." From Ian Astbury's first powerful note to Billy Duffy's last thundering guitar riff, The Cult knows how to rock an audience and this Los Angeles concert is no exception! Songs: Intro/Rise, In the Clouds, Lil' Devil, Peace Dog, Take the Power, My Bridges Burn, Rain, Edie (Ciao Baby), The Witch, Breathe, Fire Woman, Sweet Soul Sister, Wild Flower, She Sells Sanctuary, True Believers, War (The Process), Love Removal Machine.

If hard rock's your game, then the Cult will surely be a name near the top of your list--and this 86-minute concert will not disappoint. This band is a whole that's greater than the sum of its parts; featured members Ian Astbury (vocals), Billy Duffy (guitar), and Matt Sorum (drums, late of Guns n' Roses) are not especially distinguished musicians, but the Cult perform with an energy that's irresistible throughout this DVD's 17 songs, drawn from their long career. What's more, the performance is straightforward and unpretentious, as is the video, which mixes in some black-and-white and grainy color shots along with the principal color photography. They may be preaching to the choir here, but if the crowd who gathered to hear the Cult at Los Angeles's Olympic Auditorium is any indication, that choir's in heaven. DVD extras include some 25 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage. --Sam Graham

It is just okay

This was not a fun or interesting watch for me. Probably not a great time in general ( so close to 9/11 tragedy) or in particular (band is well off its form) to film a show and put ot out as a DVD. Show itself is quite poorly lit and there is just a lackluster vibe all around. Ian's voice is not very good, he seemingly cannot hold out any vocal lines and sings 'short' and staccatto (choppy) on lines that were originally much more legato (fluid/connected). For example, he does not sing the entire phrase of 'Fire' in the chorus of 'Fire Woman' as one continuous part, here, he breaks that one phrase into two separate parts (on two separate breaths). Seems his trademark voice was waaay off this night.

Live at Last ! Hopefully not the last...

For Cult fans, this is a must have. Seventeen songs of both new and older Cult favorites. The recording was made in L.A. just weeks after 9/11, which Ian made reference.
The video is shot well and sounds fantastic; please view it on a big screen with top of the line sound set up. My only real criticism of the DVD is the sound in the first few selections. The sound seemd to "cut out". Not completely, but a noticeable depth of the sound would leave for seconds at a time.
Once thing that struck me was the crowd at this show; extemely subdued. Repeatedly, Ian attempted to further excite the crowd, but they were barely heard. (part of the mix?)
Keep in mind, we are seeing an older Cult. Still plenty of energy, but not the same as the early 90's. Ian's voice was noticeably strained, but I still couldn't control my excitement as I turned up the controls for songs like Rise, The Witch, Sweet Soul Sister, Wildflower (my favorite of this DVD), and the finale, Love Removal Machine.
Billy Duffy still has his stage presence, and at times I thought Matt Sorum's drums were going to blast thru my screen. Sound so crystal clear, it's hard to belive! This is an absolutely great DVD! As a fan of The Cult for almost 20 years, I know I'll be watching this one for a long tme. GET IT! You'll be glad you did. A great and lengthy show by one of the best live bands ever!!

THE CULT "RISE" AGAIN!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 19, 2003

THE CULT are one of the best rock n' roll bands ever. Period. They stormed the '80's with some of the most imaginative and creative music of a decade where millions of people were "rocking" to bands like Culture Club, Tom Tom Club, Flock Of Seagulls and Dexy's Midnight Runners...(not that there's anything wrong with that).
When they split up in the mid-'90's I was shocked because I knew we'd lost a top-notch band. Then when they re-grouped to release (what I consider a 5-Star CD) "Beyond Good & Evil" I knew that THE ROCK N' ROLL WAS BACK! Now, with this exciting DVD you too can wallow in the shear sonic pleasure of THE CULT at it's best.
The DVD sounds great. It looks great. And the song selection is a good overall overview of their career. (I notice they didn't include anything from "Ceremony" when I thought "Wild-Hearted Son" was one of their best). Thankfully, they spared us anything from 1994's "The Cult" which I thought was a mess from the get-go.
This is an excellent DVD also in that it includes a behind-the-scenes look at the latest tour. All in all you can't go wrong if you are a CULT fan. I'm partial to "The Witch," but every song is performed well. THE CULT are bare-bones rock n' roll. There's no pyro and huge production on the scale of KISS, but if you just want a wall of amps and bone-crushing sound THE CULT are just the band for you. It's great to have Ian & Co. back...and it's good to have REAL ROCK back too. Thanx guys!!!

Outstanding!

Having seen the Cult 10 times over the last 16 years, I can tell you that their brand of music is difficult to replicate night after night in a live concert. Ian's voice does not hold up well if the band plays 3 or 4 nights in a row. This show sounds as if they were on vacation for about a week before it was recorded and they're literally at the top of their game.
I've seen Ian "mail it in" in live concerts before, and either wuss out and not sing a difficult part, or do it haphazardly, dissapointing the loyal fan base who comes to hear his leather lunged howl. Maybe he knew he was being recorded for the DVD, but the effort to do a good job was there.
I am pleased to report, he doesn't mail it in too often in this particualr show! "Rain" is excellent, he even does the "Yeah, Yeaayyyyah yeah" at the end of "She Sells Sanctuary." The crowd is a bit subdued, but let's face it, the Cult's fan base are 30 and 40 somethings now, not exactly the kind of crowd that 'moshes.'
The mix of old and new is quite good and the majority of their classics are present. It is a little disappointing that "Nirvana" was not on the DVD, but then again, I am never satisfied.
