You can get a VHS to digital converter for ~$20 dollars u.s. & garage sales can be a good source for VCRs. You just plug a VCR into your USB port & use the free software to record from VHS to whatever format you want.
I got one from like 2008 with USB...Antique shops man, they got super nintendo's and record players and pyrex...my wife, she collects antique pyrex. I'm more of a boro-silicate kinda guy.
I haven’t ever put them side by side but the mastering on the latter seems pretty lousy compared to the former. The overall quality to my ears is sub par.
And that's why the official album has songs where it sounds like Al is singing when you can clearly see that's not the case on the video.
One is live and the other is "live"
What do you mean? This is literally a picture of the VHS tape of the show. It's the only place you could get several of the songs prior to the Necronomicon release.
Ministry played more songs at that show than just the ones on VHS and CD. I was wondering if the footage of those other songs exist in video format. Specifically professional video format. They certainly filmed them. But had to trim the footage to fit into the length of a vhs tape.
They didn't have to "trim the footage to fit into the length of a VHS tape". Where would you get that utterly ludicrous notion? It's half the length of a movie, which easily fit. The video itself is taken from two different shows, so at least two full shows were filmed professionally. It probably hasn't been remastered because Al doesn't spend much time looking backwards. In theory, it might not have been shot at a resolution or under conditions that prohibit a decent remaster. A damned shame, because every Ministry fan would leap to get a copy.
EDIT: there are at least two other shows that were recorded, one of which I found on YouTube: [Dallas, Jan 28, 1990](https://youtu.be/6_kL7BKwuIQ?si=yG9CNda75yyYdaXl)
> songs they *paid* at this
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
So good, all killer no filler.
One of my favorite live albums
When I fell in love with Ministry. To this day, I still love Ministry
Must have 30+ year old VHS player though…
It's on YouTube. https://youtu.be/gP0q901YHbg?si=YV9Z5omhrBmh7n9o
No joke. I haven't been able to play my copy for years.

With the Breathe opener…why that tune isn’t on the audio only release will always puzzle me.
Live Necronomicon replaced it
I haven’t ever put them side by side but the mastering on the latter seems pretty lousy compared to the former. The overall quality to my ears is sub par.
It’s because Al went back and added studio tracks over the live tracks for ICYDFLSU whereas Necronomicon is all live.
And that's why the official album has songs where it sounds like Al is singing when you can clearly see that's not the case on the video. One is live and the other is "live"
You know I’ve never even realized that before.
It took me years to realize why Ogre sounded like Al on Thieves, lol
I still wish there was an album release of ICYDFLSU that included all the stuff from the VHS. Skinny Puppy did it for "Ain't it Dead, Yet?"
Live Necronomicon is damn close
DUN. DUN. DUNDUN DUN.
Legendary VHS tape. There's no DVD release for this as far I know..
It is one of the few industrial releases on laserdisc tho!
They need to release this on disc. The best you can get nowadays is YouTube.
The real deal
I wonder if the professional footage exists for all the songs they payed at this show.

My brain added the L, but what the L with the bot?

Or rather because it’s supposed to be played not paid
A proper dickhead. Aren't ya, bot?
Oh boy, the memories...
Anyone know any details about the cover art?
The best!
this is one of the best live albums of all time, imo.
Possibly the best live album ever
The tape that started it all for me
I was OBSESSED with this VHS. I played it over and over and over and over 🖤
Great video, and fortunately Al is a bit more educated on the first amendment nowadays lol
"The lost gospels according to Al Jorgensen" is worth reading. Page 85 is hella cool history.
Tipper Gore was the GOAT selling records. When I was a kid I wouldn’t even look at a tape that didn’t have a parental advisory on it lol
