I thought more of the older songs should have been played. If this was a going away party as I heard described it would make sense. I also purchased the "VIP" package which was to include special seating, time with the band before the show, and a "goodie bag" which included their newest CD. It turned out to be no special seating, just early entry, a wedding reception style handshake with Al and others from the band and a bag with the Wicked Lake promo poster alomng with another lame little poster and a sample CD. If no one else bought this package it was a wise non-investment. I started with Ministry at one of their first concerts at Medusa's in Chicago in the early 80's and have seen them at least 20 times since so I know what they are capable of and even though this wasn't their best I will still miss them greatly. I did ask Al what was happening with Revco and he said they will be in Chicago in October. When asked if he would be with them he just smiled...knowingly.
