What a line up and what a sound, Stewart with an awesome sounding classic Musicman bass, Duffy with his unmistakable Gretch and the best of the lot Cult drummer Nigel Preston RIP, and then Astbury hilariously hitting the right string occasionally on a 12 string, cant help thinking there was probably 11 strings to many on that guitar for Ian to manage, great sound and one of my favourate Cult songs only marginally spoilt by a wittering Kershaw pratling on about god knows what with one of the coolest bands of the day stood behind waiting to hit it. Brilliant song

Amazing .Love them then and today,seen them twice.

Thanks to whoever posted this! I get to finally see these appearances on the Grey Whistle Test which we never got to see here in the USA! Better late than never!

I was fortunate to see them live when I was a teenager.....a million year's ago!

RESURRECTION JOE ! Love this track. Just wish The Cult would include it in their live sets. Also great use of a whistle on the Whistle test ! ??

Stevie Hawkins ...Whistle Test was a fantastic program back then. Truly...Danielle in 2019.

Such a great great track. One of their best.

Had all their releases and love the drums here on this one.Of course they did allow the drummer to be heard unlike some other bands.

Thanks! This is awesome. I remember seeing The Cult in 87 when they opened up for Billy Idol in Worcester, outside of Boston, MA. They were freaking sonic and came out for an encore...

I saw that same show (my 1st ever) in May '87 @ the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood, Ca. It was just as advertised.

Ah - remember watching this at the time. Great performance 😎

Great Band

Absolutely LOVE this.

Guitar, drums, bass... All of them sound the best here. What a track. Never saw them live, unfortunately.

Got the 12" single when it came out, played it to death and thought I was so effing cool LOL

Great version of one their very best songs. Sounded great on the recent Death Cult tour

Wow did their sound--and look--change in just a YEAR from their shaved head SDC days. They're so much more polished sounding, and of course, the addition of Billy is a big part of that too. But gosh Ian's hair grows fast!

That looks like the Vox Teardrop guitar that Billy used for Revolution and All Souls Avenue.

They are a criminally underrated band. Most "fans" are casual fans of their "popular" albums from the late 80's (i.e., Electric and Sonic Temple). Americans don't seem to know of their early catalogue or anything after 1991. It's tragic.

That would be tricky for him considering it wasn't on the set list for the Lyceum gig.

In your defence, you must mean the Lyceum era, cause the whole song was played with a lot more emotion during that era, think they were playing it safe for Tv except Ian with the bloody whistle, was annoying at raves and the same here. Fantastic version of it in 85 either New York or Hammersmith on YT with no video.

Andy Kershaw inflating his own importance on this clip. Just introduce the band, for God's sake !!!

He does one at Donnington (80s) and comes across as an absolute bellend. Monsters of Rock. Borrows someones cut to try to fit in, its embarrassing.
