This concert came shortly after the release of their acclaimed album "Love," which had debuted earlier that year. Notably, "Love" marked a significant transition for the band, showcasing their blend of gothic rock and post-punk sound that would define their style. The setlist from the performance included fan favorites such as "She Sells Sanctuary" and "Rain," underscoring the band's rising popularity and their ability to captivate audiences with an energetic live presence. During this period, The Cult was experiencing considerable success following their previous albums, and their performances were crucial in solidifying their reputation as a powerful live act in the rock scene of the mid-1980s.
