AVOTT was like 1 minute long and only with intro sounds, no keyboard.
MIN and TGD was played by TR, Alessandro and Aaron. Destroyer sounded pretty much the same as on record, but with more improvisations in the second part.
TR thanked Russia between Wish and TGS and said again that we are free to steal his music if we are not able to buy it.
He said "Spasibo" ("Thanks") before Hurt
5 bottles of water went into the crowd during Suck

the show was great. perfect sound, proffessional perfomance.

setlist is correct but i dunno about this "avott teaser" shit, it sounded like a 20-second ONE BASS NOTE intro to ME I'M NOT

also, hyperpower was very very VERY short. wtf. they used to have almost 2 min intros, well maybe not this tour.

also they almost did not have any long pauses between the songs.

in short - i waited since '99 to see NIN show; and they were great.

hope they will visit us again.

great show, weird seeing them in a far off land.... tough time getting to the correct area, as I speak no russian.


trent allowed me to take a picture of him in the nevsky prospect, might upload when i get back to OZ (will take a couple of days)

t-shirts sold out and they have a small neck :)

Alright, this was quite a show!

Moscow´s venue wasn´t bad, this one was even better. Sound was perfectly clear. Glad that the sestlist was´t identical with the Moscow´s one. I am really tired of Broken, MOTP, Closer, Hurt, Head Like A Hole...however I understand that they are singles hence they need to be played. No, new YZ songs, I am stilll patiently waiting for MVH, Zero-Sum or Meet Your Master/Vessel.
Overall better performance and most likely second or third best NIN performnance I´ve seen.

Highlights: The Big Come Down, The Gread Destroyer, The Good Soldier, Me, I´m Now...so many.

i was there and the gig was fantastic. i got the tambourine!!!! it's me on this picture!!! i had been dreaming about it for almost 2 years, and now it has finally happened.=)))
a day after that we met trent near the hotel he stayed in and he said that he had seen this picture. he recognized me :)
trent signed my passport and my spiral ticket, we took a few pictures with him, jeordie and aaron. they were really nice, especially trent. i'll never forget this.

i almost walk straight passed them in the Nevsky prospect, I picked up on a loud American accent. Very unusual in that part of the world.

Not in St. Petersburg. The closer you to the center and the sightseens, the more foreigners you meet.
