I saw them on the Land of Rape and Honey, The Mind is a Terrible thing to Taste, and the Psalm 69 tours. I also saw them at Lollapalooza. They are alright live nothing great. Land of Rape and Honey was cool because Ogre came out and they played some Skinny Puppy. The Mind is a Terrible to Taste tour was cool because Ian MacKaye toured with them and they played some Pailhead tunes. They also played some Revolting Cocks. They played at the Baltimore Arena on the Psalm 69 tour. This was the height of Ministry's success. They were extremely popular. Al used to say once Ministry got big he would break them up and start something new. Here they are playing the Arena shows. Anyway Filth Pig blew and Dark Side of the Spoon was pretty good. The new album is alright but their sound just doesn't do it for me anymore. They are probably playing the older material because not too many people want to hear the newer stuff.
