i will post a more detailed review soon on my myspace page soon. Great fucking weekend!
Hey man tiffany is a girl who has cancer and this was her first nin concert or even first concert period ever. That was great of him to do.GaThrasherFan wrote:Pretty awesome mix from both shows! Only disappointment is not seeing Every Day Is Exactly The Same or With Teeth, as he has played these at other shows on this tour. Other than that, the shows were absolutely incredible. I've seen them numerous, numerous times and these were two of their better performances ever. Trent is buffed out which is definitely an inspiration. There were mic problems both nights. On Saturday, the mic went out during the first two lines of Closer, prompting Trent to stop the song, throw a minor tantrum and eventually get a working mic. You would think that after one night of problems, that they would be fixed for Sunday's show....Well during Piggy, Trent went pretty berserk after experiencing more problems prompting him to chuck a ton of water bottles into the crowd (and one to the side of the stage with intent to cause bodily harm) along with every mic he could find (I bet those made for some great souveniers for the people who caught them!). Trent made a great comment saying something to the effect of "If anyone wants to join the road crew, just see me after the show".Code: Select all

At the end of the Sunday night show, Aaron climbed the amp stack on his side of the stage during the last notes of Head Like A Hole and a fan jumped/slid down some power cables from the balcony and landed on a stack just above Aaron. What does Aaron do? Hands the dude his guitar!! The fan got to hammer out a few chords before graciously giving the guitar back to a roadie. Then in true southern fashion, he proceeds to moon the crowd.
I do have to wonder who "Tiffany" is. Before playing Hurt, Trent said he dedicated it ("since we don't have any happy songs, this is the closest we could do") to "Tiffany" who was in the balcony and was attending her first shows.
The crowd was the biggest I've seen for any Tabernacle shows and they were totally into it each night, even for the openers (Dresden Dolls). All in all it was a great weekend downtown....can't wait for the fall arena tour!!Code: Select all
DUDE!!! ramsey, you and your friends made the trip so worth it. especially, since i did come down by myself, and you guys made my last nin show THE BEST FUCKING EVER!!! and i will DEFINTELY be back!! that's for damn sure.i met up with a sweetheart of a girl from the ets messageboards who flew in by herself from nyc to see the show. she hung out with me and my friends and completely amazed us with her genuine presence (@ just 5'1'') and all around great disposition. it's official larissa, we all loved you and want you to come back real soon!
What really happened was he grabbed for the mic without looking and almost lost his balance. I could see that look of "what-the-fuck" on his face which would not be intended for the show. I think he just felt embarrassed and started fucking up shit. He stood right in front of us and tossed a mic right above my head after saying someting into the mic (I was on the rail in front of Jeordie all night). Did anybody catch any of his rantings cuz I certainly couldn't understand him. Anyway, I wrapped the cord all around my fingers. Yah! I was studying him pretty much the whole show and made eye-contact with him a few times. Wee!GaThrasherFan wrote:You know, I have to say that I actually wondered the same thing. The Sunday night incident was curious because I could not detect what the problem was. He pointed down and to his left (maybe at a monitor?) and then wigged out.
I hope it doesn't progress to the "organized stage destruction" that occured during Happiness In Slavery during the TDS arena tour.
For the time being, I'll side with Trent that there actually are problems. Definitely something to keep watch of.
. haha. The second night, I was really mellow, so I really enjoyed the Dresden Dolls' set. However, I did not enjoy having my testicles firmly pressed to the wall during NIN's set. I thought my torso was going one way and my legs the other (but, of course, what should I expect, right?). I've never seen so many people wearing the shirt of the band they were going to see (as if it were some kind of sporting event in which people had to make it obvious which team they were supporting). in a word....EW!!!Atlanta_Mike wrote:no shirt my friend, just a nasty sweaty big ass bra. the two of them were getting pretty into the show. i hope they dont breed.

with teeth and ediets are the songs i really wanted to hear, but hey he gave us love is not enough and the line begins to blur, so no complaints here. just have to wait until fall. i have a feeling the fall tour will be the best nin shows of the year. trent is saving his best for those in the statesthe new songs sound good...looking forward to hearing with teeth, ediets, right where it belongs, and only.
LadyRedCrest wrote:That was my first comment about the crowd, just from passing people on my way to the end of the line. "Holy shit...there are a LOT of 'That Guys' tonight." Once we were in the venue, the number seemed to triple, and I just tried to convince myself that a lot of them were people who bought shirts and didn't feel like hanging onto them.Russ Jones wrote:my friend and i were wondering if we were the only ones to have ever seen that movie PCU.

yeah, i remember meeting you in the backstage area by the buses. i was holding my fragility portrait with the ticket stubs while trent and company walked out. those guys that went to hard rock really lucked out. i hope one day i will get a chance to meet trent.ninety9ine wrote:Wow. What an awesome show. My 2nd NIN show ever.
We arrived at the venue at around 3. Got our tickets (thanks ninplease) and stood around waiting for Trent and Co. to get off the tour bus. After 2 hours or so of waiting rumors had spread that they had just finished eating at Hard Rock Cafe and some people had just run into him on the street. 15 minutes passed then someone (who I believe is an ETS member, i'm not sure) showed us his Atlanta lithograph signed by all members of the band (which was awesome, I might add). Then about 5 minutes later Trent's bus came in and we watched Leo, Jeordie, Rob, Trent, Jerome and Alessandro walk into the venue.
The show itself was good. I met alot of people that were there for the Saturday show as well and said it was awesome. I was actually suprised by the size of the venue. I expected it to be alot bigger. Anyways, we we're towards the front of the line and met a bunch of people from Kentucky. I noticed alot of people were from Kentucky, Tennessee and other states. When I showed my ID to the guy giving out the 21+ bracelets he said "I can't believe how many people from Florida are here". We entered the venue and got a spot on the floor with about 5 people in front of me and right between Trent and Aaron. I was wearing my ETS shirt which we made right before we left for Atlanta.
The show started and the Dresden Dolls were awesome. The crowd was really into it and the cover of War Pigs was awesome. Jerome came out for Karma Police too. They seemed like they were just getting warmed up during the last two songs. I could have watched them play more.
NIN was awesome. They were playing one of my favorite songs New Order-Ceremony (which is really a joy division song) when the Beside You In Time intro starting playing. The lights went out and they opened with Wish and the place exploded. I would jump in the air and never come down because the floor was so tight. It got a bit rough down there, but calmed down after TDTWWA. The mic broke during Piggy and TR went crazy. He threw it into the crowd and everyone dove for it. Some girl thought she broke her leg when that happened. They played a good amount of material from each album. If I recall correctly we had about 4 songs from WT, 4 songs from TDS and assorted others. They closed with HLAH and some idiot jumped from the balcony onto the speaker where Aaron was. He started yelling and then after the band walked off the stage Aaron handed him the guitar and walked off. He ATTEMPTED to play and was yelling then handed the guitar to a security guard. He then procedded to yell even more and lifted his shirt up. Then he mooned the crowd. I REALLY could have done without that. All in all, the show was awesome. Aaron is fucking crazy. He was running around throwing his guitar around. Jeordie did seem kinda bored at time, but Trent got him into it at a few points. Alessandro was kind of hidden back there, I didn't see much of him or Jerome. Trent of course, was on his game. Very active. Jumping around, tossing his mic stand and yelling.
Highlight songs of the night:
-Wish
-Reptile
-The Big Come Down
-The Hand That Feeds
ETSers met:
-Busanda
-ninplease
-BC99
-undivinity
A big 'fuck you' to:
-The longhaired idiot on the floor who was on some kind of drug. He was VERY VERY annoying and was draped all over everyone.
-Crowdsurfers. I couldn't have been kicked in the head anymore times. This isn't Pearl Jam and this isn't 1992.
-Everyone that was like 'hey man, enjoy the show, but i don't care i'm going right up front.' and then continued to elbow everyone to get up to the front. I mean, I can understand jumping around and some pushing and shoving. But some people were retarded.
Special Thanks to:
-ninplease, for the tickets
-analogvoid, for driving
-the people of Atlanta, who were very friendly.
-Trent and the gang for putting on an awesome show.

NYC, sitting at the airport. 12:30pm. im getting ready to board my plane to Atlanta. im standing in the front of the gate to board when i hear a voice say "excuse me". as i turn to say "sure", i got to "su"...and saw Mr. Trent (holy GOD) Reznor walk right past me and onto my plane. I STOPPED BREATHING!!! i called my boyfriend and told him "guess who's on my plane RIGHT NOW!!!? TRENT IS ON MY PLANE!!!" i composed myself as i got on. as the plane takes off and levels off to where we can get around i run to a flight attendant. im hyperventaliting at this point.
ME:"ms, you have to hear me out RIGHT NOW!!! *breathe* there is a man on this plane that i am a HHHUUUGGEEEEE fan of. i dont know exactly where he is sitting but i need to know. "
FA: "well, i dont what he looks like" LAUGHS
ME: "his name is trent reznor. i believe he is in first class."
FA: "i'll go check. wait right here"
as im waiting im learning how to stand on my feet again and DYING for a drink, a pill, ANYTHING to calm me down. lol
FA: "yes he is on the plane. i told him you wanted his autograph. HE'S SO NICE!!! "
as she's saying this im freaking the FUCK out!!! I grabbed a pen, papper and my ticket (i had an extra since my friend couldnt come along at the last minute but i brought it anyway to give at the venue). i hand it to her and she tells me to wait. she comes back and she hands it to me.
FA: "he's so nice and he was very happy to do it!!"
ok, so im back in my seat SHITTING a brick. im DYING to talk to him, but i didnt want to hassel him on the plane (or that i didnt want to "attack" him in such an enclosed space....LMAO). the flight attendant told me to wait my the plane door to talk to him, that was the best thing to do. so im waiting at the door letting people filter out. THERE HE IS!!!! WALKING RIGHT TOWARD ME!!! *about to collapse* im weaving in and out of passangers, manuvering my way to him.
ME: "mr Reznor....."
TR: "yes"
ME: "im the young lady what asked for your autograph. but i just had to thank you so much. i really appreciate it"
TR: *smiles* "not a problem......"
the conversation escalates from there. as to why he was flying from NY (of course court issuses), how he spent his B-day, the tour, him, me, how HOT he is, etc. the one moment i will never forget is this...
ME: "you know, you're alot taller in person"
TR: *smiles and laughs* "you're the first person to EVER tell me that"
well, if you have ever been to Atlanta airport its huge. so this conversation has be going a while. all the while im staring at him non-chalantly as i possibly can do while consentrating on breathing and walking at the same time. i dont have to say i was hard at concentrating on the very fact i was literally walking hand and hand with the very man that i idolize and think is complete genius. i continued to tell him that its an honor be talking to him since my first encounter went so terrible (well, at least in my mind). that this is a way for me to redeem myself from that and that he's so sweet to take time out to talk to my retarded self. I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM SMILE SO MUCH IN MY LIFE!!! I LOVED IT!!! he continued to shake my hand and say nicely how nice it is to hear that. i posed with a nice pic with him, and when he wrapped his arm around me i MELTED!!! i lost all track of time and space at that time. i wanted it to last forever that moment, or to just go in slow-mo so it would last forever. he took my name and put me on his guest list that night for the show. i got a ticket and a back-stage pass (he fore-warned me that he PROBABLY wouldnt be at the afterparty). AGAIN, i thanked him (i wanted to hug him, but i didnt want to push my luck or get arrested for molesting him on the spot...LMAO), we grabbed our bags, and i said thanks again, shooks hands and we went our seperate ways.
later that night, i went to the Saturday show. INSTANTLY made friends with a security guard there (Mike ironically is his name) and he looked out for me the whole night. also have to thank my NEW best-friends Ramsey who gave great advice as to where to go in the venue to see the show. The Tabernacle is a great venue. blows any of these NY places to pieces. i stood literally front row off the side and saw Mr. Reznor drip the whole night. my security friend kept passing me free water to drink and keeping the goons off me. all the while im taking pics and vid clips of the show. I LOVED IT!!! afterwards, i met a gentleman from Virginia (William) who was SUPER nice and wanted copies of my pics. i was MORE than happy to do so.
backstage. THERE'S NOTHING!!! since im all alone i meet a VERY nice young lady (Mildred-you're a bad girl..lol.) and we hung out by the backstage door. we got to meet the dresden dolls, they signed our cds and were very nice. then security tells us to move (which we've been standing there for 30 min in NO ONE'S WAY). we stand outside next to the bus, and security comes to us and tells us to move AGAIN!!! by this time im PISSED!!! all i wanted to do was thank Mr. Reznor and leave it be. but we were escorted away. a second later, the band comes out FOLLOWED by these "barely legal" goth chicks. EW!!! so i guess i wasnt one of the "beautiful people" to get back BACK stage. OH WELL!! still had a kick ass time.
Sunday May 22, 2005.
now i will say right off, NOW knowing that he was AT the hard rock i want to kick myself for not going. i was debating it then decided to stay in cause i was resting from the night before. but DAMN ME FOR NOT GOING. anyway, my newest BESTEST friend calls me to let me know that him and his friends are there at the venue. i head over and hang with the coolest people in ATLANTA!!! Ramsey, Sara, Jay, Chris, Greg are the most awesome crew ever!!! we hung outside till 8-ish and headed in. WE LOVED IT!! they made me have the best time at a show EVER!! between the awesome crowd (aside from the dude what threw that "bra" on stage, and the swinging fan), seeing NIN yet again i had a kick ass time. i was nice to finally see a show with people that love NIN as much as i do. they made the show so much better than me being by myself everytime. besides, we all love the same music we just had fun hanging out. we even hung out AFTERWARDS!! the night was great until we got HARRASSED with a homeless guy that i had to run in car and drive away. LMAO.
Monday May 23, 2005.
Homeward bound. nothing spectacular. just got on the plane and was home.
now that i've finally put into words about my weekend, it doesnt compare to or come close to how i feel. no words can describe my feelings. like the song says "i left my heart in san fransico"- i left my heart in ATLANTA!!! it may sound corny and cheesy, but i cant put it any other way!!!

That is insane. I swear I saw like 20 girls with the same fucking corset. It was hillarious. Gotta love the hot topic goths....to freakin funny.Ecks wrote:
A big FUCK YOU to the hot topic goth bitch who crowd surfed up to the front and stole the setlist that was promised to me. I waited for a total of 30+ hours for both shows to be first, and drove a total of 12 hours only to have some cunt steal my setlist...fuck her.
that is terrible...I think after waiting since 6 in the morning you could have taken her just with rage 
disko_stew wrote:what a great day sunday was...got there early and met some really cool folks (from kingsport, tn and ocala, fl) and hung with them in line all day and then met-up afterwards to hang a bit before it was time to leave.
the show was amazing.
the dresden dolls were amazing...i had listened to the clips on their site, but live they were just awesome...brian is an insane drummer (i don't think his ride cymbal was mic'd, yet you could hear it clearly from what the other mics in his kit would pick up - that's how hard he played) and amanda was right-on: keys, voice, persona, etc...they made MANY new fans tonight (and i'm sure through the whole tour) and it was really cool to meet them and share a few words afterwards...very personable and friendly - highlights from the dolls' set were war pigs and half-jack (although their whole set was amazing for a 1st time listener).
nin was unreal. the new lineup was tight. aaron is a nut - i don't know how he hasn't broken his wrist yet when he flings his guitar about like that...while holding the chords! trent was more buff than i thought from pix - his arms are huge! the setlist was great. lighting was very good and effective for a small venue. sound was crystal clear in the first row of the lower balcony...i love the tabby! highlights from nin were: wish, piggy (with trent's tantrum - i liked how he kicked or threw the thumb piano into the pit where his mic techs were, but he had one to hold at the end of the song), burn!!!!, the big comedown, reptile, and suck. the new songs sound good...looking forward to hearing with teeth, ediets, right where it belongs, and only.
in the thtf video on PIGHUT, that is my girlfriend and i...she is the one adjusting her glasses and i am to her left (she was worried they would fall off and over the rail onto the floor)...i had no idea you guys were back there filming - cool! and the bitch with the pink hair (seen in the video for wish and thtf) should have been thrown over the railing - she and her friend had seats about 4-5 rows back and then rushed to the rail at the beginning of nin...all that would have maybe been ok, but instead she moved into the front row and stood/danced/flailed/head-banged/etc right in front of the guy with the front-row seat - and he let her! dumb brat. oh well.
it was a great show and well worth the $$ (damn ebay scalpers), drive down, and wait in line. looking forward to the arena tour with better lights/video and more songs from WT.
favorite nin quotes during the piggy tirade:
"turn the fucking microphone on you fucking cocksuckers!"
"anyone want to be in the crew? come around back after the show" (something to that effect)
both garnered good cheers/laughs from the crowd.
hope everyone made it home safely.

"You can pry it from my cold, dead hands!"
hahaha. Good stuff bro. Thanks for those tickets.
Oh, that fucking sucks. I bought tix from ebay too and it was my first time using ebay so I was afraid that would happen. I ended up buying them from show me tickets which is a ticket broker instead of buying them from an individual. Thank god they ended up being real but if it's any consolation to you I waited outside to see Trent after the saturday show and when he came out, I didn't even notice him. He came walking out with the rest of the band and they all look the same from the back so then I thought that surely I wouldv'e noticed Trent....then the bus started to pull away and I realized that I missed it....oh well, atleast I will get to go to another show in the fall.ScreenStarSiren wrote:My friends and I did not get to see the actual show. We bought tickets off the internet and waited in line for hours, only to find out the tickets were invalid at the door. The tickets looked official. We paid a lot of money for them but that's what you get when you order off the net, you take a chance.
LMAO im think im getting over the fact that i met THE MAN himself!! yeah i remember seeing you guys at the backstage area. an awesome story! and thanks for the extra info concerning the book, etc.undivinity wrote:This entire day was the ultimate Nine Inch Nails experience for me and a few others. The friend I drove up with from Orlando went to the Tabernacle a little before 10:00am and got right in line. The person ahead of us was Greg (DownwardHope) and what a cool guy he is. We chatted it up about our NIN obsessions and threw on the Electric Six CD for all of the fans to enjoy. We got some stuff to eat from Ted’s and just waited in line for a few hours. We saw the Dolls walk by and we talked to them right after they got some photos taken against this white building behind the venue. Amanda and Brian are awesome people and just talking to them makes me jump from just liking the band to absolutely loving them.
Greg had some friends whom he met in line the day before come hang out with us. “The 4th grade teacher” (I think his name is Peters, I’m not sure though, sorry) went and got a drink from Ted’s. When he came back he asked if I could keep a secret. He told me a girl said that Trent was having lunch at the Hard Rock. I instantly told Greg and this one girl overheard us, and then I grabbed my friend and CD and we were off on a journey. Once we discovered where the Hard Rock was we noticed his tour bus was outside. Right when we approached the entrance we saw Jordie and Rob. Right behind them were two uniformed cops and Trent Reznor! I walked up to him and politely asked him to sign my CD. He said sure of course, and one of the guards peeped up and said they were in a rush. Trent shook my hand after he singed and I told him that I was the one that grabbed the microphone and gave it back. He jokingly replied with “Dude, you’re not supposed to give it back.” He then reached his hand out first to shake my hand. What an awesome guy is all I could think. I didn’t ask for a picture because I knew that would be over doing it, but I do have some photos of him walking away that I will post sometime.
We went back to the Tabernacle and showed off a little bit, sorry! As they did the bus pulled up and they all ran straight into the venue. Rob came back out and talked to me and Greg for probably 15 minutes. We discovered quite a few tidbits that you all might be interested in. Some are things that most of us already know but haven’t been confirmed.
-The With Teeth Deluxe Packing is a book where you put your CD in. Rob did all the artwork for it, and it is still under production. They are not including the CD with it because the whole idea of this Deluxe Package is to get around the record label, so they don’t have to worry about legal issues. He did make a comment that it is going to be a book, and quote “like you’ll be able to buy it in Barns & Nobles.”
-Rob is shocked at the prices the lithographs are catching on eBay. He has done everyone himself, and he is not even sure if he has a copy of every one of the dates.
-The original “access” updates were done with Trent emailing him the answers and Rob typing it on a old typewriter and hitting it whenever they wanted a skip. When they wanted to block things out he would just rip the word out before he scanned it. He said it took forever and it was such a headache. Now they have a font they are going to use.
-Rob is working on a whole new website, but he just doesn’t have much time to do it, but it should be done soon.
-They are filming every show and he hopes to do a DVD, but he has no real clue to where the footage will show up.
So anyway, after talking to Rob, a few more hours passed and we got in. We ran straight up to the right baloney and finally rested.
The Dolls were perfect tonight. The improvisation before Half-Jack, was some of the best drumming I’ve ever seen. Plus the addition of Karma Police was a stunning surprise since they didn’t do it the night before.
Nine Inch Nails hit the stage and went right into Wish. That was just the first sign that the show was going to be a lot harder than last nights. Personally, the highlight of the night for me was Love Is Not Enough. That song is just so amazing live. It was also great during Piggy where Trent’s microphone went out for the second night in a row. It turned into a big sing-a-long until it was fixed (about half way through). He did make the comment that it was going to be a whole new crew tomorrow, so if you wanted a job to come behind the venue after the show. Before Hurt he dedicated the song to Tiffany, and said that he wanted to do a positive song and that he didn’t have any. Then at the end of Head Like A Hole, a guy jumped from the balcony to the speakers as Aaron was climbing up them. Greg and I looked at each other, and it was the guy that was behind us in line the entire time! This guy must have been certifiably insane, because while we were waiting to get in he just talked about how he was going to get on stage, plus he was smoking a joint, out in the open as cops passed by. Weird.
I have some cruddy photos that I will try and post tomorrow morning. If anyone has a Thai prostitute from tonight (I really need last nights though) please PM me. Also if you have any photos that clearly show the right balcony, I’d love to see them. Just want to say thanks to Greg for being an awesome person, you made the day very enjoyable.
