Performance / Recording Notes:
Uncle Al and Co wrap up their AmeriKKKant Tour with a two night run at Hollywood's iconic Fonda Theatre. The band performed two brief sets. The first was comprised solely of the band's latest album, AmeriKKKant. The second was comprised of classic trax with four songs
culled from The Land of Rape and Honey, including the seldomly played "Stigmata". I never set out to see Ministry three times over the course of 18 months (I actually missed a show last November at The Palladium). However, when I saw that he was playing nearly half of Rape and Honey, I knew that it would be a must see / must tape show! Holy crap am I sure glad that I did, because what happened next was truly unexpected and historical. After the encore break, Al returne to the stage accompanied by Cesar and Chris with Dave and Dan on acoustic guitars. He then says the following...
"We're sick of playing old shit right now. So we decided right now that we're gonna play something older...".
He then broke into an acoustic version of "(Everyday is) Halloween". WHAT! Did we just become brothers!? YEP!!! It's been 30+ years since Al has played this song live! The audience was completely enthralled! In fact the guy to my right even said "I'll be quiet during this song!"
A really solid pull off a white hot stack. A bit of EQ was performed to recover some of the bass that was a bit lacking because of the battery box settings. Minimal amount of crowd noise as to be expected from a stack tape for such a loud show. I had to declap some areas.
There's a few instances of the audience that can be heard between songs, but nothing that interferes with the performance or the enjoyment of the show. A few judicious edits of crowd noise were made between sets and during the encore break. No music was lost. Also, "(Everyday Is) Halloween" was boosted by +6dB to bring the levels closer to the rest of the show.
Of Note:
The show opened with a 3 minute trailer of the Wax Trax documentary entitled "Industrial Accident". It also sounds to me as though Derek is slightly off click on "Stigmata". Still a phenomenal show!
Highlights:
Chris Connelly on 10 monumental minutes of "So What" and the oldies: "The Land of Rape and Honey" and "Everyday Is Halloween" of course.
Now can Al please make nice with Paul Barker as well so we can get this fucking show on the road?
Please support the band by purchasing their latest album AmeriKKKant or by going to see them on tour...
