  In the live recording of "She Sells Sanctuary" from November 30, 2000, at the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, The Cult was revisiting their classic sound in a period of resurgence for the band. Leading up to this performance, The Cult had released their album "Beyond Good and Evil" in 2001, marking a significant return after a hiatus and their previous album "Ceremony" in 1991. The lineup during this concert featured key members Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy, alongside new contributors like drummer Matt Sorum, renowned for his work with Guns N' Roses, which added a dynamic flair to their performances. Notably, the song "She Sells Sanctuary," a staple from their 1985 album "Love," has remained one of their most recognized tracks, showcasing the band's blend of post-punk and hard rock, and illustrating how they were maintaining their legacy while also attempting to reach a new audience.
