Does Luc Van Acker actually play guitar? YGDSOB video looked like he was obviously miming the guitar parts. These videos back that up.
And is he wearing overalls without a shirt?
Music sounds good though.
Steve Arra from the Wax Trax Chicago page is live-casting the Houston show on FB right now. Pretty cool I got to see TV Mind and now No Devotion.

cool. No Devotion was definitely a highlight!
Thanks for sharing the setlist. Can’t wait for next weekend.
It’s funny. Some people in this Ministry FB group that I belong to are complaining about them doing these shows without Al. Mind you, these are the same people that complain about Al not mixing his setlists up enough.
Sorry, but this is as good as it gets at the moment. I would prefer Al’s involvement as well, but he has made it known time and time again that he does not give two shits about this old material. If these guys want to tour it, it’s fine with me.
Yeah, I was speaking with Chris and he was like, Al produced the first one so he’s not really a musician on it and the later stuff after Richard left…would have been great but it won’t happen.
From my prospective…Paul there kinda feels like Al is there too…my brain connecting the two. Luc did play guitar as well as Jason. Jason I think really makes the show full/whole. He’s the brains behind these shows. Kudos to him!
When I saw revco without Paul in 2006, it really never felt like revco. This one absolutely did. Al only played guitar with minimal background vocals back with the other fake revco.
Really looking forward to tonight.
I’ve always wanted to hear Crackin Up live. I wish they wouldve intro’d with Gila copter, but i’m happy enough to be in one of the selected cities for them to tour.
Not relevant to this post, but I always have trouble logging in to Prongs, and thus my lack of posts in the last year.
I’d like to belatedly affirm the earlier post about how promoters can make or break the tastes of a local scene. During my first tour of Tulsa OK - a city that bears my curse for seven times seven generations - a single booker managed to transform pretty large portion of the local youth culture over to industrial / goth / EBM whatever fanatics.
Basically he was dealing with a hungry constituency that would have been perfectly happy with hardcore or metal, but were open to pretty much anything with an anti-religious angle and some electric energy to it. He dictated the tastes of the kids rather than vice versa, and it was fascinating to see since I naively thought that “scenes” worked in the opposite way.
Having said all this, no Austin show is a bit of a head-scratcher for me. Barker and Connelly at least have made plenty of allies here locally, and I do think they’d draw some attention from ‘general audiences’ so to speak - not just people who were down since Big Sexy Land.
Atlanta didn’t get this version of RevCo OR the one Al toured with no original members.
We got Laibach last year, and Clock DVA is playing Saturday. I guess that’s something.
I’m surprised they didn’t try to turn the title track into an updated live song, or at least play it as intro music. I noticed it’s the only track missing from the album performance.

Had a great time. Glad I caught their show. REV, we (Atlanta) did get that 2006 cocks show with ministry - i went.
got to meet Paul, Chris and Richard. I’ve heard it thousands of times on here, but now i can confirm - Paul was so nice to everyone. He would engage his fans in conversation, some girl was getting her stigmata single signed, while he was signing it he was talking about the cover and when he signed a promo picture for her he explained a little story about the photo shoot. Really nice guy. Chris was also very nice to me. And Richard seemed like a cool dude.
They all seemed like they were really having a good time. Catch the show if you can.

Chris said they only rehearsed for about a week. Not really enough to do anything different in my opinion.
Plus on the Cold Waves podcast Richard 23 said they had to reconstruct the songs from scratch. Paul only had some of the tracks/samples.

We can all thank Jason for that!
The DNA Lounge website always puts up webcasts of their shows. They’ve got the whole show from Sunday up on their site, if anyone’s interested. It’s just a 128k feed, but soundboard and the full night including all the music between the bands.
