[@macabremofo945]

The fact that Al is still alive gives me hope.

[@HiGlowie]

Al had ALOT of money to keep him safe and alive during his drug-using years. The grand majority of addicts have no where near the means he enjoyed during this wild times.

[@cevanfx40]

Yeah but his anti Trump nonsense is getting old.

[@macabremofo945]

@@cevanfx40 Yeah. I don't like any Ministry album past Dark Side of the Spoon because its almost pure political bullshit and him attacking anything that's not far-left. He is not someone I'd take any serious advice from.

[@allencollins6031]

Me too

[@vivaldireal1741]

@@cevanfx40Did you bitch like this when he was bitching about Reagan? HW and W Bush? I agree the democrats are just as bad but JFC dude. He’s been political in his music since 1985. Criticizing establishment leaders is what Ministry has been doing for the past 37 years

[@813lynch]

The absolute best live performance ever,from 1 of the best bands ever.this is like the best era of Ministry.Altho Al hates the Filth Pig stuff,I think this is the absolute best set list ever. every song on here is an absolute perfect song.I love the Filth Pig album.and if you do acid & you hate yourself you never want it to end...and I never want it to end.i wish the CD had Stigmata and So What on it,but I got the DVD so I put it in on my player with the screen off & nod out to this

[@joelxapelli6478]

[@chrisbryz1652]

hows it live? his shirt changed like 3 times throughout 1 song

[@813lynch]

Chris Bryz it's clips from their entire Sphinctour.the concert was all filmed,shot & recorded. the editor put this together this way,and yes it's irritating to see the wardrobe change,but damn it's a great live show.the audio that you hear for each track coincides with the track they put on the live album

[@FrostedSeagull]

Al was sweaty and changed his shirt 3 times. I used to own this DVD. From memory it was mainly 2 concerts, and for some strange reason the concerts are juxtaposed with each other.

[@cloudbloom]

These guys defined my teenage years. Long live Ministry🙏

ray wesham is the best ministry drummer

[@keithbornzin8888]

Bill Reiflin! Also Martin Atkins. Rey's ok tho. Still their BESTEST period imho. I was drumtech for HELMET w/SEPULTURA AND MINISTRY'S Psalm69 Tour. Uncle Al rules & so did Thanksgiving in Chicago at his pad! Good 👉👌'n DAZE! 🛸🤘👽👿👌

Paul Barker years were the best, IMHO

[@Barbabapan]

They do, but more generically these days IMO

[@noise7996]

Filth pig is sooooooooo sludgy, unlike any other Ministry albums, it's very unique

[@annemcmillen5447]

Yes

[@epic3507]

gloopy man its like metal gloop

[@axnyslie]

It's Black Sabbath with more drugs.

[@zippymufo9765]

Too bad Al won't play anything from it anymore, except occasionally.

Yes, recorded it here in Austin..well right outside Austin in the Hill Country Compound he built on his property...Unreal album..let that drummer just go bonkers!!!.Not many triggers etc..Raw

[@dereckpietersen4292]

Absolutely amazing band, love ministry 👍

[@Guillaume33340]

The ULTIMATE setlist in my opinion! Filth Pig is my favorite Ministry's album!

[@lucyfuer]

Love the harmonica in filth pig

[@sewerslidemg]

I like almost all ministry albums but mine would deff be dark side of the spoon, and last sucker close second

[@heartdisciple]

and Als least favorite possibly

[@heartdisciple]

guitar tone does it well @@lucyfuer

[@themojocorpse1290]

London and Nottingham shows on this tour blew my mind sphinctour really was the best they were untouchable at this point .

[@CallmeSirorelse]

Saw them at the Big Day Out in 1995. I remember Uncle Al throwing out water bottles like grenades. They were LOUD, felt the music, absolutely the way to listen to them. An out of body experience. Scarecrow still the big daddy of all of their songs. It is their classic. That Paul Barker bass just drives the whole thing along.

[@heartdisciple]

Al later said he didnt like Filth Pig but it was one of my faves

[@MazChuga]

I discovered Ministry is 2022 when they toured with Melvins and found s new band that I love. Quality music is timeless.

[@MileHigh_BoulderCO]

This band is the sh!t ! I saw the Melvins(who totally kick ass) with Nirvana and the Breeders 2 months before Cobain died. I've seen a lot of live shows and I can tell you Ministry is easily one of the best, tighest bands ever.

[@sybrenkruijf8570]

better late then never

[@kendavid891]

Saw them early 1990s,2 drummers,7 guitars in Lollapalooza!! insane show,mosh pit was the whole front stage

I rahter listen to this then what's out today not into what the music has for us today!........ 🤘🏾Ministry!🤘🏾

[@vivaldireal1741]

This band really has come a long way. I’m a fan of the new wave phase from 81-84 too. But the industrial rock/metal phase is what makes Ministry, Ministry.

[@CenoByte]

It is fucking boring music. Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb lost their entire fan base back in the day triyng to do this stupid guitar music. Music for muricans....

[@joaobraganca8509]

How f*cking cool is that Timothy Leary was backstage at 1:14:00! I checked this in another YT video of "Last video of Timothy Leary" and he is wearing the SAME SHIRT! One day I am sure I will be in the same realm as he. Peace.

[@joemartinezjr828]

He lived with him.

[@jwichmann1306]

The fact that Al doesn't really like his own songs just makes it more rock and roll.

[@eldiablo3794]

During the song Reload, only Uncle Al can make a mandolin look and sound cool in an industrial metal setting.

[@jean-noelcollard4583]

Better in live than the studio!!! Pretty rare! Sphinctour, best tour ever! Fun fact: search for Ministry before their industrial era.😅 Glad they'd changed their style 😊!!!

[@thomasfleischer83]

Some years ago I made my girlfriend listen to "Angel " and "TV2" and she could not believe it was the same band. 😅

[@robarnold6998]

Saw Ministry at Lollapalooza in ‘92. It was the loudest thing I’d ever heard in my life. The Chili Peppers came on immediately after them and I swear I couldn’t hear their first two songs because my ears were gone. Years later I saw Gojira and Lamb of God open for Metallica and they both topped Ministry. Insane volume!

[@scotmac5965]

I saw that show at Great Woods in Mansfield, MA. The people out back tore the wooden fence down and built bonfires while the rest of the lawn citizens tore up all the sod and had a dirtbomb fight during Ministry's set. It got bad enough that Ministry actually had to stop playing and Uncle Al had to ask people to give it a rest.

[@sunyata1987]

I think I caught the following years show and bumming out at all the security there because of the previous years fun and games. The fences got torn down again anyways

By far the best Ministry tour I have ever been to and I have seen them 6 times including Lalapalooza. Saw them in Minnesota and they killed it. Have been looking for them to top it ever since and am still waiting. Don;t get me wrong, Ministry is one of the best, if not the best, live bands ever.
