Golden Dawn - Ministry - @ The Ritz in NYC - 1988

A rare live performance of the track from the "Land of Rape and Honey" featuring Nivek Ogre on guitar(!)

[@lolliwag]

Industrial Masterpiece_Amazing performance: visceral & caustic. Bill Rieflin did awesome job handling sermon-esque(Middle East speak-in- tongues) type samples. Pure toxic cyber-punk carnage & Jourgensen guitar licks during outro is crushingly delicious! Barker rules on bass & Nivek Ogre is chillaxin'_his vocals is noxious shrill scowl along w/Uncle AL sharp & crisp VOX. This was heyday of Industrial-Goth as spawned/cultivated by Ministry!

[@respobabs]

the "sermon-esque" samples are israel regardie

[@whitlowjohnonly1_2]

[@whitlowjohnonly1_2]

There are a couple of Crowley samples in there as well.

“Confess Confess!”

[@wademedlin6831]

This must be the show Aesop Rock mentioned in Blood Sandwich that he missed with his brother in 1988.

[@cranklabexplosion-labcentr8245]

Well now i just found a good rapper. Thanks

[@PaliaStoTexas]

yes I also think so ! I was looking for exactly that as well.

[@wademedlin6831]

Imagine how Ase’s rapping would have been influenced by being at this show as a teen.

[@wademedlin6831]

Oh to be young again.

[@hoegis]

this is fucking gooooooooood

[@floater59]

Pure gold

[@evilnewwargod]

it would've been sick if a 12" remix had been made, with all that chanting and stuff at the beginning

[@lionserpent]

Talk about a classic! Thanks for finding this and putting it up. Nivek Ogre on guitar too. Wow!

[@ExisteAgencia]

What a find! Saw Ministry live last weekend and was thinking if the've ever played this track live in the past. And here it is! Great version BTW. Thanks for the killer upload.

[@whitlowjohnonly1_2]

They played this track at every show on the LORAH tour. Where were you?

[@grapegrind]

back when they were GOOD...

[@roberthays4206]

Awesome

[@j37h3r]

My bad. I ripped another video for 'No Devotion' from this same show which I haven't uploaded yet and the titles accidently stayed for this video. So I suppose I need to upload the real 'No Devotion' video.

[@poopshitcrapwaste]

this version of "golden dawn" sounds like any loop song

[@jessestrobel2]

Love me some Loop. Robert Hampson!

[@hurdygurdyman3134]

The Hermetic Order, The Brotherhood of the Rose Cross

[@user-bj7hl2tf6l]

It sounds like "Everyday is Halloween", it's late version of "Everyday is Halloween"

rieflin blowing a kiss around 6:00 in

[@gordondisley9243]

I'm guessing Ogres' amp wasn't even turned on...

[@fartsniffer257]

If you hear closely, the amp is turned on.

[@j37h3r]

@BLACKSUNR1SE No prob thx for the props

[@artilleryisbetter]

The Ritz as in by Hell’s Kitchen?

[@j37h3r]

The Ritz as in the old Studio 54.

[@autoneurotic]

The Ritz moved to old Studio 54 in April of 1989. In 1988 they were still on 11th St between 3rd and 4th Ave in the East Village. Today the location is known as Webster Hall.

[@NAUresistance]

Ministry is amazing in almost everything they do.. If if Al J did vote for Obama, I forgive him.

[@babywah3290]

Lol😂 Al hates republicans! He did a album trilogy AGAINST Dubya for crissakes.

[@bobopatchigglerrulez]

Republicans and Democrats, the double headed eagle. Al seemed to pull his punches when the democrats got in power
