So, I was at the 11/29 show. The Cult was opening up for Aerosmith. I've been a Cult fan since '87, and this was my first live experience with the band. I'm now 40 years old, and here I am in a fuckin' sky box seat with a bunch of pompous lawyers (my wife is an attorney), thinking I should be down on the floor. But at one moment Ian said (I'll paraphrase) "Don't forget people, that this is a rock concert. You can stand up! Don't go home and feel left out....and say, I should have stood up" And I thought, you know, he's right. I actually thought he may be talking directly to me. So, I stood up, danced my 40 year old fat ass around and became part of a concert that night...just like the old days. Only this time I was in the sky box drinking beer from the........can! I'm sure that was a faux pas. I felt liberated, even if it was for only one night! I'm sure people might recognize me from the concert. When it was Love Removal Machine time, I was the nut up in the skybox screaming the Baby, baby baby part!!! Every person who calls them self a rock fan needs to see The Cult. Oh yeah, they sounded great too, Ian's vocals were dead on, Billy played big, bad ass guitar, Matt has the timing of a clock, Billy the bassist was thumpin' and who is the dude in the Cowboy Hat playing rhythm? He stood in the shadows, but he was having a good time. And Aerosmith? Never better! You'd have to be to follow an act like the Cult!
