(Everyday Is) Halloween
I Will Do Anything For You
Work For Love
Here We Go

Exacto, coincido, después Derraparon para la Scheisse!

[@rivotrich7]

Beginnings of transition from With Sympathy to Twitch seen here

[@Based_Stuhlinger]

Yes, hizbollah (intro) was used 4 years later in LORAH.

[@HomicidalHomemaker]

What a setlist. Wish I could time travel and be there for this.

[@NachtSchreck13]

Damn, Al looks a lot like Nivek Ogre here. Interesting and obscure phase of the band, between With Sympathy and Twitch, that, sadly, was not really documented very well. All Day is kind of the essence of this period. It's a period that retained the pop-sensibilities and accessible sound of With Sympathy but with a much darker edge and increased emphasis on electronic percussion.

[@perincito]

(Everyday Is) Halloween is a work of art on this tape. What an epic tune.

[@pcaetano7527]

30:58 Everyday is Halloween

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

Only 3 tracks from With Sympathy. Truly nearing the end of that STUNNING era. Looove the Wax Trax material too .... "Revenge" sounds soooooo BEAUTIFUL xoxoxo Love how much the crowd are going off to Work For Love!!!! ... Nice to see Here We Go live!!! * WOW * How AMAZING that I see Al's cover of Fad Gadget's RICKY'S HAND!!!! One of my favourite ever tracks!!!!!!! It's frickin AMAZING seeing. and hearing their cover, thank you so much for this phenomenal slice of HISTORY!!!!

[@ClosetoHumanMusic]

The BEST Ministry.

[@user-ne2gg1wq2u]

I went to this show. I still have the Wax Trax poster I stole off the wall.😅 It didn't start till like 1am.what a night I can't believe I get to enjoy it again

[@pcaetano7527]

54:05 Ricky's Hands (Fad Gadget) cover

[@DrDougMusic1]

Was there even when the show was nearly 2 hours late. Did enjoy Exit (original on Wells St) when they had the stage open for bands. Years later they stuck a pool table in that area and a few years they had built a Thunderdome over the dance floor. Will have flashbacks to the black shag carpeting on the hallway walls. Good Times....miss the crazy boys...RIP “Mad Dog”.....”Johnny Chainsaw”....and the guy that created his own cut up Tshirts and would never stop dancing or asking for handouts. This bar even held 2 booze cruises. I think one with Effigies playing (Earl rocks) but were working on Naked Raygun for the 3rd..but never happened.

[@ash23neuro]

12:23 "Cold life" live! Awesome bass tune.

[@rivotrich7]

I’m guessing that this Ministry tour of late 1984 is the last time they ever performed anything from With Sympathy, albeit just 3 songs on this set list. BTW I’m a Chicago native who has been to EXIT so this is great to see! I was 14 years old during this show and didn’t get to go :(

[@FrightfulAccountant]

I guess you're right. A bit of a shame the uncle has become so detest by the WS album, it's full of songs that performed like in 1984 could have had a much longer run in the Ministry setlists. I think the quality of the WS album easily beats quite everything Ministry has made since the years 2000...

[@YouTubeDogSauce]

I'm trying to figure out where at Exit they set up.

[@rivotrich7]

@@KZbinDogSauce My guess is Upstairs at Exit, unless the venue configuration was different back then.

[@rivotrich7]

😮 2023! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnbaqnaVrrqViZosi=ohMdCkOZRdjfS2h7

They just played Revenge live. Amazing, isn't it? It sounds good. They finally did it.

[@user-tv2ep3rs5b]

37:45 legendary

[@DrDougMusic1]

And a big shout out to Kenny Smith for being there and involved in the New Wave/Punk era. When we first met him when he was working the door at O’Banions, we knew he would make his mark. And we followed him to every opening of his dozen clubs/bars.

[@NachtSchreck13]

The intro is actually the early version of Hizbollah.

[@Greedyselfish97]

Intro = "Hizbollah"

[@scammerpaybacknetwork]

BOLO....i like his English accent ..... that he had back then....

[@pcaetano7527]

Ministry recently performed Everyday is Halloween at a show on December 20th 2018. interesting that these two shows are 34 years apart to the date.

[@danielosmon]

Thanks for sharing

[@Sky-jy9mh]

I was there! Thanks for sharing

[@rivotrich7]

This is kinda like a Ministry (80s) Wax Trax Singles tour with 3 With Sympathy tracks added. Notice that there is about a full album’s amount of material in this set beyond the With Sympathy songs.

[@LETITBURN999]

Ministry is a Mindfkd unpredictable Cring of GF.YOURSELF!! Wrapped up in a warm greeting of Welcome Home Family... But..idkWTF!! That was??? Never heard that before. 😳

is there a studio version of this extended, better arrangement of revenge?

[@georgejohnson-gamm8427]

Yes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJmYkIl5p6pqfZI&ab_channel=SynthetikFilms

[@user-lo6vw8kv4e]

Yes. It's tonight we murder

[@glass9411]

Yes revenge 12’ remix

[@respobabs]

so what happened to this band anyway?

[@williamhollaway1960]

Drummer worked with Brittney spears another guy played for concrete blonde that's about it

[@user-hw7pg6hd7y]

Почему они исполеили "Hizbollah " первым треком , а не "cannibal song " , например ? Ведь cannibal song появилась в 1981 , а hizbollah только в сентябре 1982 , а ведь еще была написанная в 1979 году песня burning indide , почему не ее для интро использовали ??????????????????????????????????????

[@Ytrearneindre]

cannibal song written in 81 and burning inside in 79? source?

[@user-lo6vw8kv4e]

@@Ytrearneindre my words are true.

[@rivotrich7]

@@user-lo6vw8kv4eok 😅

[@rivotrich7]

Because they knew 10 years later that they would release a great album called The Mind and wanted to save Cannibal song and Burning Inside for that album. Meanwhile they chose to test Hizbohlah 4 years early on a live audience to see if it is good enough to release on one of their main studios albums. The experiment worked.

Dump that sh!t proper, analog to digital, edit out the crap audio from mistracking, have shame in posting crap, take pride in doing good work

Do that shit yourself.

[@rivotrich7]

No, this video is almost 40 years old as of today, probably VHS or beta tape shot on a home quality video recorder inside of a city (my hometown) nightclub. This video & audio quality is basically what I would expect for a 1984 nightclub concert video. I’m just happy that it survived long enough to surface on KZbin years later. Doing what you suggest might improve it a little bit but probably not much. If you own this video then go ahead.
