The Cult

In February 1986, when The Cult performed live at the Alabamahalle in Munich, they were in the midst of significant career momentum following the release of their third studio album, "Love," which came out in November 1985. "Love" marked a crucial turning point for the band, solidifying their presence in the rock scene and featuring hit singles like "Rain" and "Sweet Soul Sister." This live recording captures the band during their "Love" tour, a period characterized by a blend of hard rock and post-punk influences that set them apart. An interesting aspect of this performance is that it showcases the band's growing popularity in Europe, particularly in Germany, where they were cultivating a loyal fan base. The production quality of the recording reflects the era's shift towards higher fidelity live captures, providing a snapshot of their energetic stage presence during this pivotal time in their career.
