Stubb's BBQ, Austin, Texas
Opening Band: Lennon
Cool gig. Very hot. Larger crowd than the March show. Billy and the band
were ON. Billy was very animated and Ian belted it out as best he could.
Very good rock show. Unfortunately could not make my hometown Houston
show. But Austin is much more fun anyway.
I was able to get the bands autographs after the show. It took a while
but well worth the wait. I got a ticket, a poster from the March show
signed. A very nice young lady gave me this copy of the set list that
she got signed.
Keep up the good work!
GAS!
It's been 6 years since I have seen the Cult live. Show kicked off with
Rise. The band seemed a bit unenergetic at first. I was afraid
that this was not going to be one of their better shows. I was wrong.
Ian was just as I remembered him. He was having a bit of a problem with
the sound and was not hesitant to let the sound guy know it. After about
three songs he finally got what he wanted. I can't remember the exact
sequence of songs, but from the new album they played War (The Process),
The Saint, Rise, Breathe, Take The Power, and
My Bridges Burn. Ian stated that this was the first time they played
My Bridges Burn live. It came across great. Ian seemed a bit
disapointed at the audience response. At one point, he was trying to get
the audience to jump up and down during a song. Eventually he gave up,
calling the crowd "you lazy fuckers!" At the beginning of War (The
Process) Ian stuck his mike out to a person on the front row so the
person could sing the song. The person didn't know the words, and Ian
called him "a fucking wanker" As far as the rest of the band, Duffy was
his usual badass self. Billy Morrison has quite a stage presence. After the
show, Ian was out on the street near the tour bus with his kids and an
extremely lovely latin looking lady. I approached him and asked for his
autograph. He seemed a bit hesitant at first, but then he shook my hand
and began telling me how his son broke his arm on his skateboard. I of
course was starstruck and could barely get a word out of my mouth. Great
experience!
