First Ministry live show - December 31, 1981 - 40th Anniversary

Happy 40th anniversary to Ministry’s first live show!

Anyone remember that night? I think I spent that evening at a New Year’s Eve roller skating party.

I was less than a year old, so I don’t remember much of that night lol.

I sent some pictures and info recently, if those don’t come up today, I’ll post them here a little later. :slight_smile:

Nice find! It uses the arrangement and lyrics from the early version of the track, and was supposed to be the follow up single to Cold Life.

Looks like some of the tracks from this show (Cold Life, I’m Falling, Overkill, She’s Got A Cause) will be showing up on an expanded re-issue of the Chicago/Detroit release.

A bit of a bummer that the show isn’t coming in full.

Cool, thanks for posting! I guess it’s just She’s Got A Cause from the first show. The other bonus tracks are from 3/12/82, the same show as some of the tracks on Disc One.

The item description said they all came from the first show. Ah well.

Cleopatra is never one to pass up the chance to re-release the same material with slightly different bonus tracks. Id buy this if I didn’t already have most of it.

That is a massive disappointment. Damn.

This is a rerelease? I thought I had this already a few years back.

Disc 1 is exactly the same as the previous release. Disc 2 is random stuff thrown in. Kind of a missed opportunity, there’s plenty of tracks from those same shows they could have included instead.

ooooh, I looked too quickly at the pic the first time through. I see now it is 2 discs.
Maybe I’ll pick it up.
