Has anyone seen these guys lately? I know they tour often - are they any good? I really like their early albums...

I saw them twice in the 80's. Once on the Electric tour and once on the Sonic Temple tour. Very forgettable.

I've seen them a number of times in recent years, including their most recent show up in Baltimore. I'm excited to see them again and looking forward to them being back at 9:30, especially with the new sound system.

I've seen an off-attitude show or two; but definitely looking forward to tonight. Some decent songs on newest LP and the rest of the band have been with Ian/Billy for a bit now I believe.

The club may not be too packed so I hope that doesn't affect them too much.

off-attitude?

I saw them last November at Ramshead with my parents and they were so awesome. It's funny because at that show, Ian talked on stage about his love for the 9:30 club. I imagine seeing the Cult in one of their favorite venues should be a pretty nice treat.

I've been a cult fan since 9th grade (I know I'm only 23 so really it's not that long... my dad got me into their music I'll admit it) and I really love their old stuff, so I was pretty happy that they did a great mixture of old and new. By the way, the new album from last fall is pretty fun.

Anyway, I wish I could go tonight, but I'm broke thanks to college textbooks. If I could go, believe me, I would be there.

If anyone is going, could you please report back as to what the setlist was?

Tentatively planning to attend tonight's show.

I've never seen them before, but I had "Sonic Temple" (a cassette dub of it) back in the day and knew some of their work circa "Ceremony." I always found them entertaining, even if many of their songs sounded suspiciously similar.

I remember reading an interview with Ian Astbury several years ago and was pleasantly surprised to find him so articulate and intelligent. Not just a pretty boy after all!

Yeah--- ya know that feeling that the band (or at least the frontman) is not in a good mood and is just punching-the-clock.

I thought the show was solid. Good set list, etc.

Can someone post the set-list?

Good show. Nice set. Ian was a little surly and maybe wasn't really giving it his all, but still it was a good show.

Just for the record, I'm jealous that you guys got to hear Rain. I was hoping that they would've done that one when I saw them, and unfortunately, they didn't. Oh and same thing about Horse Nation and Spirit Walker.
