Paramount Theatre, New York, New York
Opening Band: Lenny Kravitz
I took a train to New York and saw Neil Young at the Beacon Theatre
the night before. The day of the Cult show I was shopping in
Greenwich Village and I ran into Ian and his girlfriend in a shop.
We were the only poeple there so Ian and I chatted while his
girlfriend shopped. He was really nice and I was a bit star-struck,
which usually doesn't happen to me :) I told him I had come down
from Toronto to see his show and he said that was cool. We talked
quite a while, but I honestly can barely rememeber what we said :):)
I got good seats for the show, the Paramount is in the same facility
as Madison Square Gardens and it's pretty small. It was full
because Lenny Kravitz was almost as big as the Cult in New York at
the time. The Cult played a great show and did a long encore. They
stuck mostly with Ceremony and Sonic Temple stuff. They played
a few songs from Electric saving Love Removal Machine for the
encore. This was the last time I saw the Cult. They were planning a
big Canadian tour for The Cult, but they broke up before that came
to be... :(
