i know everyone here is pretty obsessed with WS era ministry and has uploaded footage of that time everywhere but i was watching the ‘over the shoulder’ vid and i thought about it i’ve never seen (or heard) any live twitch material has anyone here seen a show during this in between (dance music / thrash) era? if so would you mind describing it…i’ve seen a few WS era live vids and then straight into rape and honey footage (which was nut’s)
If memory serves, carmangary saw them in '87, pre-Rape and Honey, so he might have some insight. Not sure if that would be considered the Twitch tour, or a R&H warmup gig. I saw them a year later, and they were opening the shows with Where You At Now and We Believe, so I got a little taste, but the band’s image was already changing. If you go to the photo gallery on prongs/ministry, there should be a couple of live pics from the Twitch tour (posted here a while back).

Wow man, wish I coulda seen that!
Theres a live 87 (or is it 86 I can never remember, lol, pretty sure 87) bootleg video. Mine is pretty poor quality, dummkopf or Bisquit might have a better one. ANyway, point being you can get a taste of what the tours may have been like even if the show is incomplete.
I remember there being barbed wire on the stage etc… I think the boot is only about 6-7 songs long, and not many are actually Ministry songs, and two of the songs are repeated albeit from a different angle, RevCo and Lead Into Gold are played… so no twitch material I dont think, but cool nonetheless.
What about that “Twitch Demos” rehersal bootleg, I would assume from the name it would have some live Twitch on it lol. My copy is in storage at the moment so I cant check, I’m sure someone can confirm.
http://www.prongs.org/ministry/5-01-87-Houston is the bootleg from the 87 tour. These were pre-Land shows, supposedly, according to Al in an interview, they blew their advance for Land and did some shows to raise some cash for recording. The other singers on the vid are Paul (who did Hatred) and Luc Van Acker. My guess is you’re thinking of Luc.
No vids are known to exist of the Twitch tour. If anyone ever finds one, I’d love to see it. Best we have so far is a couple pictures from one of the Chicago gigs - http://www.prongs.org/ministry/9-28-86-Chicago and a couple live recordings. The “Twitch Demos” bootleg actually contains a rehersal session from this tour.

Where can I get these?
don’t bother. the quality is very bad. and it’s mostly no devotion and some other songs over and over.
i love the toronto rpm 86 show boot though, too bad it’s (allegedly) incomplete (missing couple of songs, namely ricky’s hand, which was awesomely done by ministry)

Actually, it starts off pretty bad, but gets much better later on. Both versions of I See Red and the version of Attack Ships with Al on vocals that were up for download on this site are all from those tapes.
I love how you can hear bleedthrough from With Sympathy in the background… I don’t know if it’s because the tapes were dubbed over ratty copies of WS, but I like to think Al was just playing it really loudly in the background.
Back to the main theme of this thread:
I want to read MORE memories and details from Ministry concerts 86-87 dammit!!
Anyone?! [:)]
Much appreciated!
btw, if I´m lucky, some angel out there might post a nice clip from the 87 video on youtube…would make my day…
Yeah sorry Ollie I think I was supposed to send that video, and the 84 Exit show to you like 3 years ago [angelic]
I’ve had trouble getting it onto DVD with audio you can actually hear, I think someone suggested a fix to me once on here, but damned if I know what thread it was in lol.
