The tour finished in fine form Wednesday night in Chicago. Despite the fact
that they were at the last stop on a lengthy, gruelling tour, the band was in
fine form. The set list was the same (I think) as it has been lately (I'm
thrilled that they added
Sun King to the encore, although I really
missed
Nirvana). And everything from BG&E sounds amazing live. It
really is a remarkable album. The place was absolutely packed, and the
crowd was REALLY into it (mucho moshing down in front). Highlights for me
were
True Believers and
Rise. Ian wasn't very talkative, but
there were no flare ups at all from the band, who really gave their all.
This was the 7th time I've seen them, and each time seems to be better than
the last. 2001 was quite a year for Cult fans -- I'm certainly looking
forward to great things from the band in the future as well.
