The setlist was fantastic, mixing classic hits with some deeper cuts that brought back great memories. Songs like “Wild Flower” and “Star” showcased the band’s emotional depth, while “The Witch” captivated the audience.
“Mirror” gave us a moment to breathe before launching into the powerful “War (The Process).” “Resurrection Joe” got everyone moving, making it hard to stay still.
Audience Sing-Alongs
As the night went on, the connection between The Cult and the audience grew stronger. When they played “Edie (Ciao Baby),” it felt like everyone was singing together. “Sweet Soul Sister” had fans cheering and shouting the lyrics back at the band.
Things hit a high point with “Lucifer” and the classic “Fire Woman,” getting everybody on their feet and lost in the moment.
