[s]Down In It*[/s]was planned, but remained unplayed

Kickass show, worth the flight. Got my batteries for my camera taken away, so no pictures . (Security was tough on the first people in line, checked us really thoroguhly before opening the doors. Then, they let everyone in pretty much without checking the later people in line.....that was the reward for being in early, hehe.)

Trent gave a really cool little goodbye speech. He said that when he was first in hawaii in '94 that it was only 60 degrees, and they decided to swim in the ocnea, and he and his 4 band mates were "the skinniest palest dudes in combat boots, and we said 'okay this sucks' and headed to the bar." Something along those lines. Again, unable to record it exactly, but that is the gist of it. I hope someone DID record it however, because it was awesome.

The setlist above looks correct except there was the first half of "another version of the truth" before 'me, i'm not." that was really cool. despite criticisms aaron has received from some fans in the past for his guitar playing, he was on fire today and didn't miss a single note. everybody sounded great. And while the light show was awesome for the great destroyer and me, i'm not....I actually enjoyed the light show more for eraser and only this time around. But it was fantastic.

It was a pretty small venue compared to the ones I have seen them at before. Smaller than the key arena by probably half, and way smaller than the gorge, hehe. It felt pretty close an intimate, which was nice for a last show.

The mosh pit was the roughest I have seen it. Some people were paying more attentino to being butting heads than enjoying the last show of nine inch nails as a band. Oh well.... after the first half they settled down and let the rest of us enjoy the show more.


Great fucking show. Worth the huge amount of money I spent coming down here. Honolulu happens to rule anyway, but it rocks a lot harder having seen Nine Inch Nails down here. I hope to bump into Trank Razzle and crew tonight at the international market or something. Maybe Trent will come to watch the street performers, lol. (Probably not.) I am exhaused. Gonna take a rest before going out to the I.M. Great show.

Indeed, a fantastic show. I was up in Section two with my two friends. Interesting fact though.. they didn't play Terrible Lie which was surprising. Cortini threw two keyboards into the crowd before and after hurt - pretty awesome.

Like GodofReptiles said, the venue was pretty small. Even up in the stratosphere seats where I was I felt really close to the band.

Dude what was with the opening band? They sucked. The first thing he said was "YoYoYo.. representing 92371" or something like that. I was hoping for trent to come out and say "Sorry about that guys - Wasn't my fault."

=]

Great show, worth the wait, they did the Happiness in Slavery breakdown in Great Destroyer.

But the place was empty, maybe half sold, most the upper section seats were covered in plastic, everyone fit on the floor with room to spare. Sad more people didn't show up, but those who did loved it.

Anyone record it?

A buddy of mine on another board saw the show, this was his review:

PapaG, all I can say is "Holy fuck, what a show!"

The opening band (some local schlubs who knew one drum riff, one guitar riff and the "singer" tried to be Mr. White Agnst rapper) sucked, but blessedly, they only played 20 minutes, and it only took another 30 to get the stage reset before NIN hit the ground running.

A couple of things about the venue -- the Blaisdell Center ain't much, but it's all we got. It seats about 7,500 for basketball. It's set up in three levels: the floor, normally with risers at the back and sides; the loge (which is only three rows of seats deep); and the upper level. Seats for this show were one price for lower level, and another for upper and loge. We got lower-level tickets, thinking that we'd grab seats on the side risers. Only problem was, there were no seats anywhere below the loge level -- in effect, it looked like they were trying to turn the entire floor level into a mosh pit. We stood near the back of the floor level, right alongside the sound and lighting controls. The upper level had close to 3/4 of the seats blocked off, covered in plastic! The excuse was "those areas are being cleaned," but they were just trying to keep the upper level folks as far away from the stage as possible -- they were all pretty much crammed into eight sections at the back of the arena. It sucked to be them.

There were probably only about 2,500 people there, but it was a very enthuiastic crowd. PapaG, you were dead on about how tight this incarnation of NIN has become -- they were flawless. I'd love to give you a set list, but I'll be honest, I don't know all their music the way my wife does; I'll just say I was impressed. They played on of my favorites, "Sin," early on and that really got the crowd pumped.

After about 45 minutes with the whole band, they brought it down to Trent, his keyboard player and his lead guitarist, all three playing keyboards and other multiple electronic computerized gizmos, much like I think PapaG mentioned we'll see more of in the future from them. They had a really interesting visual devise they used -- a "screen" that lowered in front of them, only it really wasn't a screen per se; it was vertical, heavy electric wires -- with the lights on behind them, it gave the effect that the musiciancs were behind bars. Thee were horizontal, lighter wires string between the verticals, and they could all be lit in some amazing ways, not by outside lights, but from within -- very cool. A lot of experimental electronic patterns to go with the music.

There Is No You, Only Me

The visuals really came into play on this song -- the screen was in front of the band, and it looked like the white noise you'd get on a TV that wasn't tuned into a station that was broadcasting. Note: For all you digital kiddies, in the olden days, TV used to be brodcast "over the air" and was received by these things called "antennas," and if you "tuned in" to a channel where no station was broadcasting, you'd get static, what we called "snow."

What made it cool was that from time to time, Trent Reznor would lean forward and you could almost see him through the static -- you'd get a quick glimpse, then he'd move and you'd lose sight of him again. I don't know exactly why, but that whole effect made the song much more striking.

Anyway, they played about 15 minutes of stuff from Year Zero -- the more electronically geared music, and quite frankly, if that's the wave of their future, I'm glad this last show focused more on the whole band. It was interesting, but there's no freaking way I could sit through two hours of that.

Dead Souls

Oh, man, this one was awesome -- and even though "Closer" is a more well-known song (at least to mainstream pukes like me), this performance just about made my night.

They closed with -- you guessed it -- "Head Like a Hole," and it was a good one to close the show with -- the whole audience was bouncing up and down and singing -- yes, even the ancient one, death's grim herald -- and the band was eating it up.

They did one encore, "Hurt," which started out with just Trent and his keyboards with the special efx screen behind him this time -- and I swear, it looked like it was snowing all around him. He built it up, brought it back down, and just when you thought the song was over, the whole band kicked in. Wow.

All told, they played for two hours, and I have only one regret, PapaG, and that's that I'd never had the chance to see them before this -- but I'm so glad we did go tonight. There's no way you could ever regret seeing a show with such power and energy behind it.

One thing about the crowd -- a lot of posers, some hardcore folks, some moshers and crowd surfers (up front), a few old farts like me -- but while everyone was rocking out, they were also looking out for each other. I fully expected to get jostled and shoved by the assholes that always find their way to whatever corner I'm in, but everyone tonight was really cool -- most people worked their way forward without shoving or anything, and those that did bump into you seemed almost apologetic. It's like everyone was there for the great music, and no one wanted to start any shit for anyone else. That was a first for me.

PapaG,. wish you coulda been there -- we'd have had a great time.

That was the bext show i have ever seen. I was the girl with the banner that said " I treaveled 9900 miles to see you, TRENT!"... I got up to the rail right in front of Trent, and i could not believe he was just a few feet away from me. He completely acknowledged my banner and the whole time throughout the show we kept making eye contact, so much that i lost count! i was so moved when he played Something I Can Never Have, TDTWWA, and of course, Hurt. Besides the crowd being SUPER crazy ( and getting my head kicked in a few times) it was the most amazing time EVER and I oculd not have asked for a better time OR setlist....wish they played Terrible Lie though Ah well, can't have everything. haha

Thanks guys!!!
Hopefully they are still kicking around for on emore day , and possibly bump into them

uh...where to begin?!?

That was a great show...not my favorite but hey 7 shows in 7 cities makes it hard to top! Good set list. 'Me, I'm Not' was kick ass. TGD was good to see played but Trent was off key... (it happens) And the big screen reminds me of an ipod commerical (I'm a hater). I was happy to see the new tracks played and I think that added 9 songs to my list of songs seen live.

Hawaii is cool and so are the people. I met a girl that made her dress out of NIN photos (yay Rose!!) The venue was tight. Real small and sounded great. I was suprised to see how empty it was but the crowd energy was great. One of the reasons I enjoy going to so many shows is the crowd differences.

It was worth the trip from Vancouver to come out here, entheogen should post his two cents at some point too. I was wishing for The Warning and The Becoming but it can wait pending all upcoming changes I suppose.

Oh God, I'm glad it's not just me. Maybe I am getting old though, but I thought that was one of the roughest pits I've ever been in (at the front it was, anyway). I did NOT enjoy the show for like the first 1/3 of it because I felt I was fighting for my life. Tons of asshole crowd surfers, shoving, elbows.

Me, I'm Not and The Great Destroyer were highlights for me (partially because the crowd calmed down), especially the HiS breakdown. It's been 13 years since I've heard those sounds live. I did really enjoy TDTWWA. That was fantastic! The rest of the set, to be honest, was good, of course, but for the most part weren't that interesting to me because I've seen them performed so many times (Suck, Wish, HLAH, etc.). Last could've been good, but I was fighting the pit during that song. Oh, and that's the first time I've ever heard Trent actually sing the falsetto in Closer.

Got a key from Alessandro's keyboard. Whee! Guess it can go into my collection along with the Lohner pick and the Finck stocking.

I was disappointed that there wasn't something more special done for the "last" show.

I enjoyed meeting the spiralers and other people I met in line and at the show. I'd like to thank my lovely ladies for saving me a place in line.

I did get that recorded. It was a funny little anecdote. I haven't had a chance to look at or process the video and pictures I took yet, but I'll post it soon if someone else doesn't first.

Actually it *was* their fault. We were talking to the lead singer. He said he got a call the day before the show to play, and he couldn't find half of his band, so those guys weren't even a real band.

I heard Last. I'm happy :)

And yes, the pit was a little rough - but still friendly enough. But huge respect to the 5ft Japanese girl who looked like a Hello Kitty advert. Most of the guys in that pit weighed three to four times what she did and she stayed there for a hell of a lot of abuse - I picked her up at least twice when she fell. Then I found the second pit further back, and moved there - it was a little more relaxed.

I have had 11 hours sleep in 3 days, and am off home tonight - I think I'll sleep on the plane.

Oh, and I managed to get hold of some [s]soundcheck[/s] video - I'll upload it when I get the chance (oops, not soundcheck. my bad).

Best show I've seen since the Reno show where I saw Josh play for the first time. Tight, perfectly paced setlist. Pics/videos coming at the weekend probably.

A decent, and at least well-informed, review of the show in the Advertiser today:

I know there were some people who liked the opening band. Here's their MySpace:

And for the locals, they play Thursdays at Indigo's, he said.

Incredible show. I don't have time to say more as I now need some sleep for work in the morning. Best five days of my life, no question!

Heh. I was shooting 3-shot sequences, so when one shot turned out good, usually another good one was right behind it. So like the yellow-ish and red-ish pictures (3rd and 4th) are literally only a second apart.

Cool pics man!!! I was at the show as well... I can say nothing that hasnt been said already.... What a great show..... I wish i could find an audio or video boot to remember this show by...

Down In It

Down in It was on the setlist, but was not played.

My sister and I got a bit LOST while wandering the beaches on the north shore. Sawyer's crib...

OK, here's the first video from stage right - there are a few more, none fantastic, long story. Will try to do the rest at the weekend...

Just git back from the plane.


As far as the opening band goes, I felt sorry for them at first, because it was obvious that they were a real mismatch. Highlights from swampzaa included a terrible cover of "Sweet Dreams," and their staple song "Eat Girl, just eat." They also had us sing along with one song about licking a girl's "neck, her back, her pussy and her crack," *sigh.* But really I think it is cool that they stepped up at the last minute and performed against an audience they were doomed to play in front of from the get go. We were all there for Nine Inch Nails, and I don't think any band, especially a local one we haven't even heard of, could have pleased us. I certainly wouldn't fly down for any other band. I was glad when the swampzaa performance was over, though their act of courage was duly noted.


Anyway, if anything, this performance made me even more excited about the future of Nine Inch Nails and Trent Reznor. Of the times I have seen them live, this was probably their best. It was really just that good. I am excited to see the rest of the year zero songs live with the new Reznor vision some time in the future. Hopefully with every single year zero song, as that is the best album since the fragile.

I think you're right. I thought the second Reno show, with the tiny pit and Josh on Drums was up there, but I think that was because it was the first time I'd seen Josh - my jaw dropped at how he handled Wish and Starfuckers - and the fact that, well, I had a lot of fun outside of the show :-P

But for Hawaii, so many things colliding in one show:

• * they played so tight at this show - I didn't spot one fuckup at all
  * the fact that the crowd had a mix of hardcore US and Australian/Japanese fans (I think this is about the only place in the world where this could happen) - that tiny Japanese girl in the pit floored me (mentally ;-)
  * people are pretty sure this was going to be the last show of this band incarnation
  * for me (and I never thought I'd say this!), the added violence added to the pit by the odd military dude - there was only one who was a real asshole, but boy did that take me back to '94 - Gave up was insane. Sad i didn't have the energy to get back in for No, You Don't - that was an unexpected suprise too :)

heh, I just can't stop smiling.

Is Trent playing a Gibson again?

This looks close, well done. But...

They played "another version of the truth" as the first song with the LED board down, while it was dark, right before it woke up for "me, i'm not." I remember thinking that maybe the LEDs weren't working because it remained dark for the duration of AVOTT. I've briefly scanned through some other tour journal pages and I haven't seen this song mentioned, but I know I heard those piano notes.

You sure that "down in it" was played? I would've remembered rolling my eyes upon hearing that one, and I remember no such thing. I really don't think that was in there.

Quite a show. Band was razor sharp, as was mmmmost of the lighting. The crazy LED stuff done in perfect unison with the instrumental part of "the great destroyer" was fucking amazing... too perfect to have been lighting cues, they must've been cued directly by the keyboards. Damn cool. The "slave screams!!" capper was both the best and worst moment for me, 'cause I was fucking ecstatic to hear it... but then hugely disappointed that they didn't do the rest of "happiness in slavery." What a fucking tease!

Was really fun to finally hear "last" live, that kicked ass. Yeah, I could nitpick and say that I was disappointed that they didn't do "god given" and "vessel" -- prolly my two favorite Year Zero tracks -- and that I'm still longing to see "ruiner" live in this millenium, and that the "happiness in slavery" moment was just about the biggest tease of my life, but it was still a fucking great show.

Too bad my section up on the loge was a bit lacking in energy. I mean, I'm too old for that pit shit, but that doesn't mean you can't be energetic up in the reserved seats. Around me were mostly Hawaiians who barely moved, barely cheered, barely clapped... they were NOTHING like the crowd at the last Cox Arena (San Diego) show. Now THAT was energy.

I had only three days in Hawaii, but I'll remember it forever. Other than the show, all I did was drive around Oahu for shots like this. Can you imagine having this in your backyard?

I just got back to California from Hawaii. I’ve never posted here before, but that show was enough to make me give up on lurking for right now.

There is a statue of Elvis outside of the Blaisedell Arena because it is, historically, the castle that The King built. Yet hundreds of us squandered a day in paradise to wait in line for this last show. The Blaisedell staff were perplexed and confused not knowing what to make of the NIN fandemonium. When an especially old staff member shook their head at the spiral line and said they’d “never seen anything like [it] before” (with that statue in the background) it really made me smile.

I had decided to go to Hawaii because I wanted to (at least) catch the last show of the tour. That didn’t matter anymore when the news came down that it was the last show for this incarnation of the band. Period. I felt really lucky to be there. As the Hawaiian shirt sporting crew were setting up for the last time I kept thinking about that first show in Fresno and how anxious I was to see how far this band has come.

Alessandro has proven himself to be an indispensable multi-instrumentalist. He plays guitar too for a large chunk of the time now – sometimes during the same songs. I couldn’t count or keep track of all the different stuff he did during the show, but as a keyboardist he’s still pretty damn solid. Just any keyboardist couldn’t mount his instrument as he plays it and ride the song home. He’s the wing man on The Great Destroyer that aims while Trent fires.

The dude from Goon Moon seems like a pretty cool guy. He pulled out an extended ending to Gave Up with a duel between guitar and mic stand. He kept on getting up on the amp in the corner of the stage, which really got through to the people in the seats to make them feel more included in the show. Sometimes he sang along when he was nowhere near a mic because he’s just that into it. He was most on top of singing during the decrescendo of Survivalism though. This evenly handed vocal back and forth between Jeordie and Trent, along with the instrumental give and take of The Day the World Went Away, are part of what make me think that Jeordie and Trent work together better than any of the other dudes I’ve ever seen in this band.

I’m trying to think of reasons to list that might make it seem like Josh is not the best drummer in the world, but I’ve got nothing. A human being just shouldn’t be able to play NIN percussion that well live with that kind of precision. Not only does he nail everything this band had previously done, he throws in so many fills that it’s hard to keep up with. I’ve simply been awed to see him play. He took some of my all time favorite songs and made them better, which is an awfully big deal to me. He totally could have played the Perfect Drug. I’m certain of it.

Aaron plays guitar with his whole body and soul. The live versions of songs should be different than the studio takes and when performance and connecting with an audience is the goal then passion over perfection should be the rule. Every single time I’ve seen them play Aaron has literally thrown himself into the show – be it physically or emotionally he was always 100%. It comes off like he really gives everything of himself. This was the first and only American show where NIN finally played my favorite song from Broken. As Aaron played it, the guitar in Last was like honey. It stung on the way in, was sweet and fluid at its core and sticky on the way out.

Trent was seriously on for the last show. It’s a NIN show so it really all comes down to him whether that means blame or acclaim. Yet, he didn’t just suck it all up like a solo artist. He made a point of really playing to/with the other guys at this show. He spent a significant amount of time playing closely with each individual band member. He was all up on those drums while Josh was Burn –ing down. Trent brought the audience’ focus onto Aaron by standing right behind him for a while. This band grew really tight over the last couple of years. From Fresno to Honolulu they took the long way around and got better at every stop. They went out at the top of their game. At one point Trent laid down on stage, which is unique (in this decade) and fully appropriate for the weight of the situation. As the concert, tour and band came to an end Trent changed the lyrics of Hurt and sang to his “sweetest friends.”

Though it wasn’t meant to last, for right then it was the best thing ever.

For those of you who are pissed because you didn't suck it up and make the trip out to Hawaii, you should pretty much hate yourselves right now, because the show was fucking incredible!

I was in the second row directly in front of Trent for just over half the show and then on the rail for the rest of the time. The pit was VERY rough. It was so bad that Trent couldn’t even come down for Piggy. People were getting pulled out left and right and I got kicked in the head pretty hard a few times. Before I made it onto the rail, it was incredibly hard to keep my spot and not pass out. When the show ended, I was so covered in other people’s sweat from head to toe that it looked like I’d just jumped out of a pool. I also have bruises all along the bottoms of my arms that make me look like a victim of domestic violence.

But you know what? Every bit of that was worth it and then some because all of the madness happening in the pit was feeding back up to the band and resulted in the most amazing performance you could possibly imagine. When Trent collapsed and laid on the stage at the end of Gave Up, I squealed like a little fan girl. As someone already said, he also changed the lyrics in Hurt to say sweetest friends. Awww. His speech was awesome and I’m glad someone has a good recording and transcript of it, because even though I was right in front of him, there were a few parts I couldn’t tell for sure what he was saying. Aaron stage dove during March of the Pigs. I was amazed he got back out so quickly with all of the raging assholes in the pit. You couldn’t ask for a better final show from the current line up.

I went through all the trouble of shoving my camera down the front of my pants to get it past security and then the pit was so tight that I couldn’t even get it out. Sorry guys. It’s too bad, because I have a pretty nice camera and from where I was standing, I could have taken some really nice pics and video. Oh well.

We saw Aaron at a couple of bars the night before the show, but he looked like he didn't want to be bothered, so we left him alone.

Hello to all of the cool new people I met, especially you Jenn! Speaking of Jenn, I don’t know why her sign caused such a debacle over in the nin.com thread. I’m standing to the right of Jenn in that pic with my eyes closed (durrr). Anyways, I wanted to say something to defend her earlier, but by the time I got back home, the thread was locked. So, I’m going to do it here. She made the sign because she wanted to do something that would get Trent’s attention so she could meet him. She counted the miles she traveled as roundtrip instead of one way and that’s why it says 9900 - big fucking deal. I have no idea why people found it necessary to go on about it for three pages. I hung out with her every day and night that I was in Hawaii and she’s cool as hell and by no means deserves to be made fun of for her sign. That is all.

The show was amazing. Best show i've seen, hands down. Security was inept and completely incapable of handling the crowd. They were clearly more concerned with snatching cameras from people than protecting us from people kicking us and landing on our heads. Many crowd surfers landed on the concrete head first.
I was on the rail very close to center stage the whole night. My good friend got really broken- is now getting her neck and back x-rayed for extensive injuries. I was lucky and got away with a swollen cheek bone and lumps and bruises all up and down my arms which kinda makes me look like a battered wife. But all worth it- was the most amazing thing i've ever experienced in a very very long time.
I so wanted Trent to come down during Piggy, but he was smart not to. He may have been a naked man by the time he made it back to the stage.

It was well worth giving up a day of sight seeing, getting in line at 5AM to ride the rail in front of Trent all night. Retarded security made it impossible for me to get any pictures, as from my standpoint they would have been fucking incredible pics.

I thought the sign was cute, I thought you girls were a joy to hang out in line with, and screw everyone else for giving her such a hard time.

^^^It was nice to meet you too! Thanks for taking pictures of everyone in line and offering me sunscreen when you saw that I was turning into a lobster. I hope to see you at the first show of the next tour so we can do it all over again!

Ahhh....I hardly ever post on here anymore, but for those of you who I met during this trip, I wanted to say HELLO and I hope we can meet again sometime in the near future! This was a great show and I'm glad that we all got to be a part of the ending of yet ANOTHER NIN era!!

Now we have to wait to see what comes next!
