[@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.

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.

@@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

[@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.

[@Imsopathetic]

Ministry has always and will always kick so much ass.

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.

Went to this concert at the Roseland on NYC. My ears rung for 2 days after.

[@Borosbal]

On the A38 ship in Budapest on July 11, 2019, I thought it was a good idea to move to the right, directly in front of the stage, but I didn't count on the speakers. After the concert, I became deaf in my right ear for 3 days, but both still rang for weeks.😂

[@BrianWills-pe6uc]

This is great music and real stage entertainment , I saw them play at the Big Day Out in Adelaide Aust. in 1994 . I've watched this over and again and enjoy it every time .

[@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-synth / 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....

[@iwyllie]

I first heard ministry on a waxtrax sampler in 1988. They have been in my playlist since and somehow never get old. Amazing band. Amazing music. Unfortunately STILL haven’t been able to see them live! There is still time(I hope!)

[@CourtneyKelley-hd2jr]

This made my yr watching them on a rainy day , gets ur adrenaline up to par !!!

[@scottvalenzuela7378]

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.

[@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.

[@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 😊!!!

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
