Performance / Recording Notes:
I was looking forward to this show for well over a month. The event organizers and producers announced that tickets for the screening of the film (and concert) would be made exclusively for those that purchased the soundtrack at one of four designated stores on RSD.
I spent that time formulating a strategy that would all but guarantee admission. I wound up choosing a store that would open at 6:00 AM on RSD. I arrived at 5:30 PM the day before and camped out overnight. I along with my brother and several others of my friends secured copies of the coveted colored vinyls. In fact, a friend gave me one of his spare tickets. I passed it a long to a taper friend of mine.
In fact, I spent the week before the show trying to flood the venue with tapers. After all was said and done, I know of at least four tapers that were in attendence. I didn't want to leave anything to chance.
Ministry put on a fucking AMAZING SHOW of "Wax Trax Era" material. At first I thought that it was odd or even a cheat that they performed material from "Land", "Mind" and "Psalm" (all on Warners and and HUGE albums). Then I remembered that Al and Paul were still producing material
for Wax Trax! during this time under the guise of Revolting Cocks, LARD, Pigface, 1000 Homo DJ's and other imprints with a revolving line up of musicians from the label. The community of like minded musicians that formed around the genius and generosity of Jim Nash and Dannie Flesher cannot be overstated. The emergance of Industrial Music in all of its forms and incarnations had a profound impact on the music industry that is still being felt today. Wax Trax! was the epicenter from 1983 to 1995. The film takes a look at the founders, Jim and Dannie, and several musicians from Front 242, KMDM, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Trent Reznor, Chris and Cosey and many others. The film and it's accompanying soundtrack comes highly recommended.
Ministry put on a show that's one for the books! Everybody I spoke to afterwards was simply blown away by the performance. Al looks better and sounds better than he has over the last three decades. Hell. He did jumping jacks during Supernaut for fucks sake! If you missed one of these select six shows, I am very sorry! This recording IMHO is about as good as it gets. There is minimal audience interference with the exception of the requisite drunken chick sing-a-long to "Halloween". No special vocal guests on this night, just pure Uncle Al!
A really solid pull off a white hot stack. A slight amount of EQ was performed to even out the sound. 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. I made no edits. Also, "(Everyday Is) Halloween" was boosted by +5dB to bring the levels closer to the rest of the show.
Of Note:
Paul Barker was in attendance and participated in the Q & A and panel discussion after the film. Let's hope that Al is working through his 8th Step. It seems that Al has made ammends with Chris Connelly and is on speaking terms with Paul once again. Vote: Luxa/Pan 2020! Fingers crossed.
Highlights:
The thirteen songs that were performed. It was excellent hearing "Jesus Built My Hot Rod", "No Devotion" and "Supernaut" performed live. Also,"The Land of Rape and Honey" is a personal favorite of mine.
Please support the film maker Julie Nash by purchasing her excellent film "Industrial Accident".
