One Of The Best Of The Tour....

"The Woj" | Downers Grove, IL | 08/18/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I've listened repeatedly to most of the "Instant Live" shows from the Cult's recent tour. The Cleveland show combines a spirited performance, really good sound, a great mix and a longer set list than other shows on the tour. While none of the "Instant Live" shows can be compared to the sound quality of an "official" live album, this one is about as close as it gets. The key on this release is Astbury's attitude on his vocals and Duffy's killer playing; both right up front in the mix. This is arguably my favorite show of the lot. If you've made it this far you are obviously a Cult fan, debated which one of the many "Instant Live" shows to choose from. Starting here is as good a place as any. You will not be disappointed.

****FYI, there will be a dvd of the Cult's concert at the Irving Plaza in New York City available shortly. The music from the concert is only available from Instant Live via download at 192 kBit mp3. The Irving Plaza show is arguably the best of the entire US Tour and a must have for any fan. I hope to be reviewing the dvd very soon!****"
