For those who care, Martin Atkins appears to have done what I’ve been waiting for for a while and dug up some old live Pigface for sale. A couple hows from 91 and one from 94 are for sale on the Invisible site for $5 a piece. I know some of you think negatively of Martin, but I think this is a very cool idea. If only Al would do something like this… I’d go broke, but I’d have enough live Ministry to keep me happy.
I saw that tour in Phoenix - it was great. Got to meet Ogre and Connelly for the first time, and got to hear some live Skinny Puppy (“T.F.W.O”), which was nice. Their live version of “Suck” was awesome, and there was some dual drum action from Atkins and Rieflin.
They’re also selling a 3-DVD set from Public Image Ltd. for $30. It contains a live show from '83, a bunch of T.V. appearances, some promo videos (not all, I noticed “Warrior” is missing), and a show from the 9 Tour in '89:

I have all of Pigface’s live albums anyway…but there is some unique stuff on there, and $5 is hard to beat.
That PIL DVD set looks cool though! Pretty exhaustive collection.
someone should really share this on soulseek…
For those still on the fence for these, they’re pretty decent. Soundboard, of course, but they still have the same kind of muddy sound that all the early Pigface shows seem to have. One word of warning, the Malmo show doesn’t have Ogre at all. Rather than shortly before Ogre left the tour, it seems to be just after. It’s definitely Mary Byker doing vox on Suck.
I love Mary Byker…hyperhead all the way.
