A real nice cap of the Cult as they exit stage one of their career. This was an outdoor festival with lots of other bands on the bill, including grunge favorites Pearl Jam and L7. 

By 1992 it was clear who owned "alternative" music as the Cult had once enjoyed that status years earlier. So it's interesting to note a few things about their performance here; the opener being their biggest hit "She Sells Sanctuary" which is usually saved for later in the set, if not the closer...the wandering setlist that covers their first four albums...and the edgy-fuzzy-almost-grungy tone to the guitars. Definitely a much thicker guitar sound than they had ever displayed before.

Very good set by The Cult as usual, sadly they don't ever play anything from Ceremony but I'm probably in the minority wishing that they would... Sound quality is pretty good, some crowd noise can be heard between the songs but nothing too distracting.

Editing:
- Removal of two gaps: at the end of track 6 and at the beginning of track 10
- Removal of what sounded like a bump of the microphone recording the
audience, at the very end of the last track, before it fades out
- Resulting sector boundary errors corrected with Trader's Little Helper

Original notes:
According to the label this is a first generation copy from the master. At first listen this seems to be a radio broadcast but the one big thing missing is any DJ chatter. It could possibly be a pre-FM recorded by a local radio station in the area. The instrument and vocal quality is top notch and seems to be from the board. There's crowd noise in between tracks but it's definitely controlled - it doesn't have those crowd noise qualities you typically hear on audience tapes. I guess the bottom line is I can't say for sure what the lineage is here - I can only say it smokes and is a must if you like The Cult.

This show is unique in that it contains two songs that would end up on "Electric" performed "Love" style. The psychedelic days were numbered as Rick Rubin would soon enter the picture and point the sound in a new direction. It's interesting to hear a song like "Love Removal Machine" and how it morphed from the original version to the style of the eventually released product. The other interesting thing is how well both versions work.
