Ministry Live at Cruel World 2024 in Pasadena, CA. 05-11-2024 (Full Set)

[@neurosismancer]

Never in my life did I imagine I'd hear Ministry playing stuff from With Sympathy live!

[@santosfabianramos]

Totally

[@casketcrew23]

I'm actually really excited that they are re-recording songs from With Sympathy and Twitch to release soonish. But this was bad ass

[@thomas.i.mcgill]

@@casketcrew23 can't wait for the rerecording to be released.

[@macabremofo945]

I know right?

[@mjc4art]

Right!! I’ve played this album for friends that are Ministry fans and 99% said, who is this with a what are you listening to look on their face.

[@kimwiley4061]

With Sympathy and Twitch...the albums that grew my love for Ministry. Glad Al has reconciled with this music since so many Ministry fans have been waiting SO long for him to play these songs again!

[@richesofthepoor]

Yes this comment! ❤

[@The_Timinator]

I'm guessing his being clean for years now has cause him to reflect on ALL his accomplishments. There were some bizarre years for awhile. Have you seen the Ministry Documentary "Fix"? search for it, it was Al's scariest period when he was a heroin addict and Ministry was on tour. I think I watched it on Dailymotion.

[@davidianalter]

THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE!!!!

[@richesofthepoor]

Took the words right out of my mouth! I thank the heavens for the person that posted these videos! 😊

​@KrisGerhardt I wouldn't call Numan "pop" at any stage of his career

[@slashertempo]

A show people have wanted for 40 years. I hope he decides to take this on the road and come show it to the rest of us, this is wonderful, I got tears, man! Thanks for sharing this!

[@richardchavez985]

No problem

[@pinkpink-s2d]

Uncle Al said in an interview recently he probably will not be touring anymore. He plans on going into the studio and rerecording With Sympathy and maybe make one more Ministry album. Then he's "putting it to bed", according to him.

[@wcaboutre355]

Exactly!

I didn't expect a daytime vampire disco... you got to WORK in the sun FOR LOVE.

[@violetgc6049]

😂 We certainly worked (in the sun) for it! I have the second degree burns on my nose to prove it. Should have put on vampire sunscreen! We don't usually do our dark disco-ing don't in the daytime!

[@josemaldonado949]

I kept wondering all year if Al was really gonna do it. Wow. He really did. I lived long enough to actually witness it in person. Thank you cruel world

[@PosieJasper]

My favourite period for Ministry. I started listening the band in 1986 and appreciated this and the next 2 albums in particular. Amazing to experience even via recorded concert. Thank you for uploading this for us poor folk that can't afford concerts anymore.

[@Sleep_lab_studios]

Hell hath officially frozen over

[@andyjamison-legere2862]

This is all kinds of fantastic - Add "The Angel" and "Nature of Love" and this would be an all-time dream setlist. I love the updated versions.

[@blurp323]

This was the highlight one of the most fun days of my life. Never dreamed I’d ever witness this set of music!

[@sanderleech568]

It's incredible that Al put this together. Such a massive catalog of music, and the courage to go back in time and revisit this material. Amazing.

[@hektorlinko]

Yeah and the two gals that did the X-Men video metal cover. Bad Ass.

[@andywillis6697]

Nice to see Al embracing his early work. Which, in fact is the reason I love ministry

[@askcommish]

as a young kid in Chicago and die hard Ministry / RevCo / WaxTrax fan, Al recognized me being in the mosh pits at his shows and always was cool to every time we crossed paths around the city. I was thrilled to hear this set.

[@davidreid3378]

I'm a long time Ministry fan. Seen them a bunch in the 80s/90s. I'm glad Uncle Al has embraced W/Sympathy. It still gets airplay on sirius/Xm First wave channel. That harder version of Effigy is awesome. Revenge is great. The entire show is great. Makes me want to go see them again...and again and again...Oh no... Thanks for posting this video.

[@jakepena5292]

I never thought I would see the day!!!

[@ikejacobovits]

Over the Shoulder and All Day? I hope he starts incorporating this stuff back into his sets full time, I'd go to see them again for sure.

[@JoseRamos-oy5db]

Seriously I hope he sees the engagement that the crowd had over this entire set and puts that into consideration because ITS NEEDS AN ENCORE!

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, been waiting a LONG time to hear these songs live!!!! Bravo Ministry for embracing & updating this classic era...

[@NikPopa]

Most musical that Ministry has sounded in over 30 years.

[@jeff6317]

I'm just so relieved to know that all of this wasn't just a weird, personal fever dream I was living in and that lots of other people were fully committed to this stuff at the exact same time

[@thephoenixcycle8854]

Its like super cool and smooth sounding. Nothing terribly abrasive

[@jasmeerlabeer4591]

Finally!!!! The early recordings! Man, I’ve been waiting for this since 1987!

[@kurthulseberg]

Mr. Paul D’Amour, ladies and gentlemen! The string duo and backup singers are lovely as well!

With Sympathy is the only LP I really like from them. Cool to hear they're performing these again

[@kevinsturges6957]

He's doing some of his original 80's music again?? YES!!

[@flamingcherryc]

Just for this festival, but yes, it was exclusively tracks from 1981-1986, and it was brilliant!

[@crazzyross]

Al seems genuinely happier here than I've seen him in decades.

[@flamingcherryc]

It was a very happy crowd. I even teared up a few times.

[@wyattcole5452]

He seemed pretty upbeat last year on tour at the concert I saw him in

[@hektorlinko]

You are right my friend. I guess once you get older people change and just tend to realize the good times in life before it all ends. This is my favorite set next to "In case you didn't feel like showing up." This set actually made me smile and put me in a good mood. I felt his happy vibe too. A+++

Yes they were!!! The 80’s man…!

I first saw Ministry in Orange County at Lollapalooza in 1992. Life was never the same after that...

[@sheppytim]

I wasn't even born yet

[@dalidivinci]

'92 was the peak, but had great stuff through 2015...think he had to go here for $$ and age...right after Lemmy died, he told me, "I'll beat him at 69, 69, 69"

OMG! Thanks so much for sharing this. I saw Ministry in Vancouver, BC in 2016-2017, Al brought Burton from Fear Factory out with him and I couldn’t believe it. I had seen Fear Factory years ago, twice. Two iconic metal warriors on stage together made for a hell of a show 🤘 🌶️ 🔥 Hey @aljourgensen please come back to Vancouver.

I was surprised to see them perform Work for Love after having watched the Boston performance of it at The Channel back in 1984 dozens of times on youtube. That video captures the 1980's synth rock energy not to mention Al's command of the stage,,, not that I keep track of Ministry but it was nice to see the then and now of this song. Nice job!

I love Ministry ! All the albums from The land of rape and honey to From Beer to Eternity. I haven't listened to their last three records yet, and I never liked with sympathy or twitch, however being so used to hearing all their records from the mind is a terrible thing to taste to the last sucker... Hearing this song live work for love off of with sympathy is so refreshing... They actually made this sound so uplifting ! It's really actualy awesome to hear and see this side of ministry !

I’m so happy to see and hear this set live (via KZbin)! I wish i could have been there in person to see and hear this. Happy to see that Mr Alain has apparently come to peace with Ministry’s first studio album and is comfortable playing some of the best With Sympathy songs live now after all there years. I hope Uncle Al sees how much many of Ministry’s fans still love hearing Ministry’s early songs. I’m especially happy to see/hear some of the best tracks from Ministry’s Twitch album performed live here for the first time in many years, which is my favorite Ministry album and one of my favorite Industrial music albums overall.
