I didn't know about the extras but there's a Ministry/REVCO tour right
now. I'm about to put up my REVCO 12" singles on Ebay ATM.
And since this thread has gotten far off topic we just got back from
Glenn Branca's SYMPHONY NO. 13, “HALLUCINATION CITY,” FOR 100 ELECTRIC
GUITARS:

"Starting at a deafening level, the work got louder almost throughout,
and - after a stasis of a few minutes that could have signaled an ending
- suddenly burst into tensely rising chromatic scales."
Sums it up nicely. The above writeup says there were no breaks but
thankfully in this performance it was broken up into 4 movements, only
the 2nd movement gave me a headache, it was loud and shrill. The rest
was pretty awesome. The last movement sounded like an Ennio Morricone
soundtrack played at 1000 decibels, really wild.
70 guitars, 15 basses, and a drummer, and the drummer got a 10 minute
standing ovation when it was over. And I think, but not sure, that Mike
Watt was playing first bass. And one of the women guitarists in the
front row sang the entire time, since she had no mic and there are no
lyrics for this piece who knows what the hell she was screaming.
I loved it, Kimberly absolutely hated it and laughed the whole time.
Earplugs were almost mandatory but since we were up in the balcony I
went commando.
