Ministry - On Broadway, Chicago, IL - 18.05.1982


Very early days concert from Ministry. Excelent sound, thanks to cEnda for sending me this one to share here.

This show was recorded and broadcast by WXRT in Chicago.  It's a great soundboard recording from the band's early days.  This show is commonly mislabeled as 11/1/83 (the date of a rebroadcast?), XX/XX/83 Boston, and XX/XX/82 Chicago @ Cabaret Metro. 

Personnel:
Al Jourgensen - vocals, keyboards
Stephen George - drums
Bob Roberts - Keyboards
John Davis - Keyboards

Some additional notes on this show:

Before Same Old Madness, Al claims that it's the next single.  Obviously that never happened, probably due to the move to Arista.

Before Effigy, Al dedicates it to "Jim and Danny from Wax Trax... and Carol".  The former are, of course, Jim Nash and Danny Flesher, the founders of Wax Trax records.  The latter is Carol Blank, one of the staff of the fledgeling record company who had taken her own life the previous year.  The album With Sympathy is also dedicated to her.

Setlist:

01. Same Old Madness
02. Revenge
03. Effigy
04. Primental
05. I'm Falling
06. Overkill
