The Ministry concert was last night and it was awesome. For the live band they recruited Tony Campos from Static-X and Tommy Victor from Prong. I had no idea what a great guitar player Victor was, but that mofo can shred like nobody's business. The played two 65+ minute sets, the first of which was all the best stuff from their last three albums. That was great, but since this was a farewell tour, I really wanted to hear some old classics. They started the second set with some crazy instrumental stuff, but then the bass line for "So What" kicked in and the crowd went nuts. They followed that with "Just One Fix", "Thieves", and "N.W.O." and completely tore the house down. It was so kick ass, but kinda sad at the same time since this will be the last time we'll ever get to see the great Uncle Al perform. Last night was the penultimate city they'll ever play, and I got to witness it's awesome power.
It was a great 20+ years.
RIP Ministry
