The Cult - Knitting Factory, Sep 22/2010
Spokane, Washington, Knitting Factory
Opening Band: Black Ryder
A very small crowd but a very up crowd. Lots of people showing thier appreciation and enjoying themselves even though Billy was having serious problems getting his guitars sorted out. At one point he even stopped playing and for a minute I was worried he was going to pull the plug completely. It took about 2/3 of the show to get things ironed out and Ian having tech(?) trouble with his tambourines too? Throwing one of them back stage, a couple more into the crowd and examining yet another very closely before deciding to use that one. The guitar problems definitley were a distraction at points. There have been many times when I have seen Billy upset and not understood what he was ticked about with his guitar. Just a perfectionist, I suppose? This time it was noticeable. Even with the sound problems and the late start (? --- 9:50PM and I think they cut Spiritwalker from the set due to the late start). The show was a bit unbalanced but very glad to have went none-the-less and overall a good show. Ian encouraged the crowd that if they wanted a new album then to get onto their facebook page and let them know.
