In January 1987, when The Cult performed live at Brixton in London, they were riding high on the success of their album "Love," which had been released just a few months earlier in November 1985. "Love" showcased their signature blend of post-punk and hard rock, featuring iconic tracks like "She Sells Sanctuary," which became one of their most recognizable songs. This live recording captures the band at a pivotal moment in their career, as they were transitioning from underground success to mainstream recognition. Notably, the performance at Brixton is emblematic of their energetic live shows, which were characterized by theatrical elements and strong audience engagement. The Cult's rise in the UK and their expanding international audience during this period positioned them as influential figures in the rock scene of the late '80s.
