The Cult - Rain Live at Grand Olympic Auditorium, Los Angeles

Venue: Grand Olympic Auditorium Location: Los Angeles, CA, USA Date: 2001

In January 2001, The Cult performed a live recording of "Rain" at the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, a significant moment in their career as they were experiencing a resurgence. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their album *Beyond Good and Evil* in 2001, marking their return to active recording and performance after a period of hiatus. The band's lineup during this performance included founding members Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy, alongside drummer Matt Sorum and bassist Billy Morrison, which showcased a more modern sound while still retaining the essence of their earlier work. Notably, *Beyond Good and Evil* was produced by Brendan O'Brien, known for his work with major rock acts, illustrating The Cult's effort to re-establish themselves within the rock genre following their earlier success in the 1980s and 1990s.
