Ah, don't mention it! Lack of IRL friends who share my musical gods occasionally creates some nice opportunities to lend a helping hand, so I'm very glad to hear it was as singular an experience for you as it was for me!
I'll never wish for said gods to experience declining attendance for my selfish reasons, but glad to see you were able to get a good spot without lining up for hours - great pictures!
Ever since my first show ('96), I've always associated Ministry with earsplitting volumes. Appreciate the warning that this remains a constant! Maybe I'll get lucky and find there's a stronger noise ordinance in Montclair, but I won't count on it...
