Received in trade a really long time ago, maybe a few month after the show. This guy sent me soundboard recordings from various venues in Paris, I think I have MARCH VIOLETS, PLAY DEAD and maybe some others from the same period.

Broadcasted Live from El Teatro Flores. This interview (partial) was rebroadcasted just before the show. Maybe TOO MUCH DJ (well, not a DJ, just Gustavo Olmedo...) speaking between songs, but it could be worst, as usual on Argentinian broadcasts... Complete show.

Very good set by The Cult as usual, sadly they don't ever play anything from Ceremony but I'm probably in the minority wishing that they would... Sound quality is pretty good, some crowd noise can be heard between the songs but nothing too distracting.

Editing:
- Removal of two gaps: at the end of track 6 and at the beginning of track 10
- Removal of what sounded like a bump of the microphone recording the
audience, at the very end of the last track, before it fades out
- Resulting sector boundary errors corrected with Trader's Little Helper

Original notes:
According to the label this is a first generation copy from the master. At first listen this seems to be a radio broadcast but the one big thing missing is any DJ chatter. It could possibly be a pre-FM recorded by a local radio station in the area. The instrument and vocal quality is top notch and seems to be from the board. There's crowd noise in between tracks but it's definitely controlled - it doesn't have those crowd noise qualities you typically hear on audience tapes. I guess the bottom line is I can't say for sure what the lineage is here - I can only say it smokes and is a must if you like The Cult.

This show is unique in that it contains two songs that would end up on "Electric" performed "Love" style. The psychedelic days were numbered as Rick Rubin would soon enter the picture and point the sound in a new direction. It's interesting to hear a song like "Love Removal Machine" and how it morphed from the original version to the style of the eventually released product. The other interesting thing is how well both versions work.

Notes by the uploader/trader:
the greatest show ever performed by The Cult in the "Electric" era, or maybe ever.

This show was the centerpiece of a music filled trip to see a fine friend of mine in the Motor City. I had turned him on to The Cult in '85 and he had the chance to catch them a couple times in the Michigan area in '86. At the time they weren't really gigging near me so when this show was announced he rang me up. He didn't have to try very hard to get me on a plane. For the wrong reasons, it was one of my most memorable flights. I flew into Detroit 3 days after NWA Flight 255 had crashed just after takeoff killing 156 people. The only survivor was a 4 year old girl. Made our final approach right over the burned out overpass the plane had crashed into on I-95. Looking at that will tend to put things in perspective.
