ETS Tour Journal

mind blowing. simply mind blowing. peter murphy sang 'reptile' and did a marilyn manson 'you're my bitch' on trent. i teared up during 'in this twilight.' GREAT SHOW!

Absolutely AMAZING show.

Peter Murphy sang Reptile again, and he said it isn't a goth show, it's a show in honor of a great poet named Trent Reznor, the setlist was incredible (I can't remember the order so I can't post it), the place was packed...crowd was a bit slow at times, but overall what a great night.

Also, the way they end the show with In This Twilight, having everyone from the band wave goodbye and exit 1 by one, very very cool. Just as cool as Trent introducing everyone. Thank you for an awesome night.

Wow is all I can really say. What an incredible fucking show. I knew we were in for a treat when the great destroyer came on. That was awesome. Then we got the big comedown which hadn't been played in sometime, but just to top things off we got Peter fucking Murphy to sing reptile. I loved how he was all over trent and robin. That was easily the greatest show I've ever been to. Unbelievable.

Peter Murphy for the second time was such an *amazing* surprise.

We got Ghosts 14, I believe... never heard it before live. Nice to get something new after quite a few shows' rotation (not counting that Atlantic City anomaly).

Off to pass out and see how bruised I wake up from the rail...

PETER FUCKING MURPHY!!!!!

Okay, this made my year. I flew in from Rochester to see this show, and was not let down one bit. Peter freaking Murphy. Wow.

The first major "wooo!" inducing moment for me was the second Ghosts track, when they played 14 Ghosts II. That's been one of my favorites ever since I got the albums, and I didn't remember seeing it on any of the setlists that I had seen from the first tour. The Big Comedown was great to see, too, since we didn't get that back in Rochester last time they were there.

I have a feeling that there was something wrong with the sound on stage, as there was a major breakdown in the second verse of Survivalism. The guys got way out of sync, but Trent did a good job recovering it and pulling into the chorus without a complete trainwreck. The sound in the venue itself was absolutely abysmal; probably the worst I've ever been to out of hundreds of concerts. I'm so glad I don't actually live out this way; I'd hate to think that that's what all of my shows might sound like.

Was it me, or did TR goof on the first verse of The Great Destroyer? I didn't care; I was so happy to hear that song. And hey, he's human.

The visuals were, as you all know by now, phenomenal. The blue and red during Gave Up (I think) was great, especially at the end when it was just a full-on assault of color. And Trent's projection on the front screen during The Greater Good was terrific; there was a great feel of him having a strong, imposing control over the audience. I can see how people would like to have seen the Presence incorporated into that; I think that'd just be downright creepy.

And Peter Murphy on Reptile? On the way to the venue, I asked my brother was he wanted to hear the most. He's told me time and time again that Reptile is "the best industrial song ever", so I wasn't surprised to hear that answer. I think we both nearly lost it when Trent said "please welcome Peter Murphy", as he is one of my brother's musical heroes.

Fuck Yes! Great show, equally great crowd response and great set list.

On a weirder note i was about three heads back from the front and about half way into the show I felt someone grinding on me and clutching the back of my shirt. I was about to turn around and tell the dude to keep his hands off of me until I realized it was a chick. Next thing I know she's got one of her hands on my waist and started to put it up my shirt. I had to stop her due to the fact that I am about to get married but holly shit I think she would have had sex with me right there in front of everyone. I guess NIN just makes her hot.

Holy crap. This one blew away the Manchester show in pretty much every aspect. The sound was better (still not great, but hey, it's an arena), the band seemed happier, the crowd seemed more into it. SIGNOFTHESATANDEVIL!!!!!!!!!!!1111111!!!!

Deerhunter sounded okay. I'm not exactly sure why critics blow their wads over them but they were decent enough. I envy all of you who get Boris or The Bug.

Later.

Amazing show visually and musically. More screw-ups than normal, but they all recovered nicely. It even seemed that Peter Murphy screwed up a bit during "Reptile", but he's Peter Murphy and is allowed to do whatever he wants.

It was also really nice to see everyone being respectful during "Hurt" by not throwing shit up on stage.

Trent didn't say too much about the show. In fact, he didn't say anything other than the normal "Thank you"s and "C'mon!"'s until the encore when he apologized for the inconvenience of the reschedule and thanked everyone again.

I was also slightly shocked at the lack of anything political being said during the concert. Since he has become quite political in his music and blog (when he wrote it) since With Teeth, I was sort of expecting something to be said about the recent election -- especially before or after "Survivalism".

The band seemed quite into the show -- Trent especially. He was up to his usual thrashing and kicking during the set, and by the second song was going apeshit.

The set list covered every single album from "Pretty Hate Machine" up to "The Slip" with an interesting version of "Piggy". The last time I saw NIN was during the "With Teeth" tour (which was also a reschedule), and this was a much more diverse and energized show.

Fantastic show that I'm very glad I got to see.

The original setlist had the beginning of the end in the encore and didn't have reptile..maybe tr hoped but didnt know if peter murphy would be able to make it.

Great show!!! I was at the rail the whole time! I was on the screen throughout Survialism so that was pretty cool. I didn't bring a camera so hopefully someone got a picture!

Sound got better as the show progressed (Discpline was pretty muddy).

Peter Murphy gorped Trong Rinzoar during Reptile. Rob's camera was apparently BROKEN during this fabulous moment. (This is not a rumor.)

Ghosts 14 was totally swamp-ass bauyou and wonderful.

Closer needs to be retired. It's not funky anymore, there's no visuals anymore. It's like watching Grandma get frisky with Grandpa.

Terrible Lie, which I usually could shrug at, was visually incredible and sounded great.

Overall, good show. No one threw shit or yelled too much during Hurt.

I'm absolutely intrigued by the mechanics of the light show, and how they interface with the band. Good job, TR and friends.

The rumor I started in #nin that Alessandro took off his pants and threw them into the crowd is untrue. Allegedly.

great show as usual but I'm a bit upset that I didn't have a chance to hear the original version of Reptile even once during my trip to US this time
I like Peter Murphy and his stage performance (well... sometimes it's fun for a change) but I don't like him doing NIN songs. he's a poser and he makes these songs fake. and don't you dare to strangle Trent and Robin anymore!

what I don't get is:
- why they don't do visuals in Closer they did in South America with Trent singing to the small camera like on Greater Good
- where have lamps from The Big Come Down gone?? half of the fun is lost ((

riggs - STFU about Closer. you're not a chick to make conclusions here.

hmmm, that pic of the set list has Beginning of the End, but it wasn't played. That would have been nice. I don't know, the show was great, but I guess I was hoping for a little more variation in the set list from the CT show in August. The Wretched was swapped out for Head Down. The Good Soldier was swapped for Reptile and the first two Ghosts were swapped...everything else was exactly the same.

And I'm not really into Deerhunter, but I really don't understand why people feel the need to boo. Just have a beer and relax. They played a half hour or so...not a big deal.

Um. Er. No official pics exist, therefore it didn't happen.

(My post actually started with the Alessandro crack, but when I moved it to the bottom, the rumor thing wasn't funny an... oh fuck. Why do I even bother to post here on the PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN SOURCE PLEASE N000BZZZZ BGONE BLAMMO website?)

Ok.. During I think Survivalism, there were surveillance camera squares on the screen, showing Trent singing, the audience, etc. In one of those squares was a bathroom with 2 dudes banging. Did anybody else see this?? Was it real?

Me and my friend were in the bathroom at Uno pizza, and there was this Annoying Cell Phone Girl in there yakking at the top of her lungs, "WHAT?! I CAN"T HEAR YOU> WELL YOU SHOULD"VE GOT A TICKET THEN. GOD I WISH I HAD SOME PEPCID AC SO I COULD STOP THE RUNS I"M SHITTING RIGHT NOW." Sickening. So anyways, out of ALL the people in the whole arena, she was standing right next to us, yakking to her bf and spent what seemed like the whole show on her phone trying to locate her gf's. I swear I have never heard anyone with as loud of a voice as her. So while Trent was singing Hurt and all of us were having "a moment," she's still yakking so loud half the crowd turns around and tells her to SHUT UP!!! What a moron!

I saw one person pass out, two people throw up, and one girl with black duct tape over her boobs.

As far as him not doing political stuff during the show, I was relieved because frankly it's cringeworthy when celebs get on their soapboxes like that. Anyways.

P.S. Deerhunter was a snoozefest. And I think the lead singer is deformed. His chest caves in. If he is then I'm sorry but if he isn't then he needs to eat a sandwich or two.

It wasn't two men, it was a man and woman, and no, it wasn't real. I think only 3 of those screens were actually live, the rest were all recorded specifically for the show.

the lead singer has a disease that makes him appear like that, look it up

I still did not like thier music, a cross between Oasis and the Beetles. I think Trent is turning hipster... sigh... I long for the good ol' days where he had goth freaks like the Dresden Dolls opening for him.

I was pretty deflated when The Wretched didn't follow The Frail -- but that was the only disappointment. Great show all around and a pretty easy venue to deal with. Peter Murphy more than made up for the rescheduling issue.

Glad I wasn't in GA -- you folks looked pretty compressed in there. You had a much better view of the visuals, though.

Wow!!! This was my fifth time seeing NIN, and was by far the best. The production values for the show were outstanding. I've seen and heard many bootlegs from this tour, but they just don't compare to being right there. We were about 15-20 feet from the center of the stage, with a great view. I must be getting old, because it was torture being in the pit, especially during MOTP. Normally I don't get all excited about song like "Gave Up', and "Wish" but I lost my shit during those and they were so cool. The Ghosts set absolutely blew my mind, it was so stimulating, both visually and musically. The Big Comedown was such a welcome surprise! Then of course there was Peter Murphy(WOW!) singing reptile, I recorded that with my camera, it came out ok, a little grainy. I also recorded In This Twilight. I talked to a guy on Demonoid or Dime who said he planned to tape this show, God I hope he did. Well I'm pretty spent, I drove 3 hours form Maine, so I need to go back to sleep, later!

If any of you were watching the survivalism screen, i was the one waving their hands ridiculously like i was saying hi to someone on the upper left.

and yes, GA was ridiculously squished. I almost punched like 3 kids because they were gonna snap my arm in half. I was at the barrier for pretty much the entire night, until some obnoxious fat bitch decided to use first my arm and then my body as a backrest.

You haven't lived until you've seen Peter Murphy rub TR's chest and belly. That, and his awesome pseudo make-out session with Robin. Teehee. PM was on fire last night. As campy as ever, and, of course, fabulous. (Not to mention him trying to knock over Ale's stand. After which, Ale looked at Josh and laughed hysterically). Definitely good times!

I do have to echo acidpolly's note, though. It would have been even cooler to get TR on Reptile, with PM performing one of his own songs.

He said, "This isn't a goth show. It's not a jock show," or something to that effect, and then called TR the true poet.

The view of the stage from our seats was incredible. Being my first show I had no idea what i was in for.
Deerhunter was out first and I was kinda underwhelmed. The only thing that kept me half way interested in the band was the drummer. They played a few songs and everybody got halfway into it.The pit was dead still but the girl in the row in front of me was dancing like it was the greatest song she'd ever heard(and then the same for every other song of the night).Finally deerhunter decided to pack up and Bradford Cox let us know that NIN was next. I went deaf.

30 minutes later I regained some of my hearing and then the lights went down.The slam of the kick drum in 1,000,000 went through my chest like a train, over and over again. My eyes burned and opened wide for the over the top lighting effects. All the way through discipline was an absolute dream.

And then MOTP. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen MOTP. People went fucking crazy. From the rail in GA to the last seat in the nosebleeds everybody was on thier feet. A girl on my right asked me for a lighter and sparked a nicely rolled blunt which she kindly passed to me, my girlfriend and my best friend. For the rest of the show I knew I was gonna feel like an over-stimulated Helen Keller.

Head Down was next and then The Frail. And then Closer. Now I know alot of people on this forum really dont like this song but you cant deny the feeling of this song . The crowd chanted every single word.Gave up was next up on the setlist and yet again the crowd chanted every word. The lights flashed red and blue incredably fast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZms6TcEgM4 Then the first Year Zero song of the night; The Warning. The bass thundered and the guitar echoed off the walls of the arena.

Then my favorite song of the night; The Great Destroyer. I had been waiting months for this and I knew it was gonna be insane. Trent did not let me down at all. The pale white background in the begining of the song made for a tremendous contrast to the absolute musical and visual chaos of the break down. My ears exploded simultaneosly as my pupils dialated and I knew I was never ever going to forget this experience. They even dragged out the breakdown to make that much more of an impact. And an impact it made!
My addrenaline was through the roof and my heart was racing. I WANTED MOAR! and then the show took a left turn. Ghosts. At first I'm not gonna lie I was let down. I knew it wasnt over, but i was let down. And then I really started to hear and see the music. The visuals were breathtaking and the music was beautiful. I lit up the joint we had brought and returned the kindness to the girls on the right of us. Ghosts 14 blew my mind. The echo of the instruments filled the air and my eyes were wide open for the stunning show. Ghosts 19 immediately followed. This was my favorite use of the lighting effects for the night. The use of all 3 screens effectively made the band look like they were in another dimension. IDK if it was because of what I smoked but I litterally tripped balls.
Ghosts faded into Piggy and everybody sang "Nothing can stop me now". The Greater Good reminded me that I was at a NIN show but confused me a little. Where had the insturments gone? Wheres Trent? WTF is on that screen. The answer was unbelievable. The whole screen turned into a 3 dimensional face. The face was Trent's, he was singing into the camera on the left side of the screen. You could tell people were slowly catching on but eventually the whole crowd erupted in appreciation for the visual marvels that were brought to us.

Pinion played as Trent walked across the stage and cleared away the screen with a flashlight. Then Wish exploded and the crowd went into riot mode.
The same mood stayed through Terrible Lie. The ground shook and people were screaming the words. And then Surrvivalism. From my angle it looked like trent had thrown cameras into the crowd between the song change. I thought they were T-shirts at first. Again the crowd was slow to notice what was happening. Trent was yet again redifining the live concert. The cameras displayed the crowd and the band from different perspectives on the screen behind them. It was truely a mindfuck to figure out what was going on. Next was The Big Comedown and Robin Finck's solo was sicker than sick. Next was Ghosts 31. The screen was showing images of smoke clouds passing and rising. The crowd took the hint and almost immediately you could see dozens of plumes rising in the crowd. All out of mary jane for the night we lit up some cigarettes and relaxed until Trent came out again and ear fucked us with Only. The screen was static and he came and peaked through it again and again. The crowd was amped and screamed for The Hand That Feeds. And then for the last song they played Head Like A Hole. The crowd peaked and then a "Thankyagoodnight" from Trent came and everyone screamed while the feedback from the guitar wailed for what seemed like forever. All the while a giant red NIN logo glowed over the crowd.

And then it rose. Trent came back and played Echoplex on the screen which was made to look like a drum machine. It was amazing to see such interaction between sound and light. After Echoplex trent came out and thanked us for coming back and said he had a special guest. Peter Murphy was there and he announced that "This isnt a goth show" and said that Trent was a "True poet". They played Reptile and the strobe lights flashed non-stop.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOUd1vonjKw Murphy thanked the crowd and Trent and walked off stage as God Given started up. The gun cross symbol was projected high up on the stage and it was the last intense moment of the night. The crowd cheered and I thought it was over for a second when a single light lit the stage and Trent gave us Hurt. A woman behind me was crying her eyes out. Hurt ended and the last song of the night played. In This Twilight blared through the speakers and we all knew that this was the end. The band slowly faded out and everyone appluaded each artist individually. Trent was last and everyone lost it. He slowly walked of stage into the darkness and the lights went up.

I agree with one of the other posters that the sound at the beginning of the show sucked. It got better over time, but now my husband has become a concert snob since this was his third time I've taken him to NIN. He thought the other shows had better sound. The visuals completely made up for it though. His iPhone worked ok from our vantage point.

Evening started out great with a free parking space on the street only two blocks away so getting out of there at the end of the evening was a breeze.

My personal favorite from this concert were:
Gave Up, God Given, The Big Comedown (which believe it or not, I totally blanked on at first)

Hubby complained about the douchetruck behind us who sang Closer and Piggy completely out of tune. Otherwise, the crowd around us was just fine. The young lady next to me was clearly there at the behest of her boyfriend who really got into some of the older tunes like Terrible Lie and Wish. Girlfriend sat down for the Ghosts segment and then she was gone. 5 or 6 people in our row actually left after Head Like a Hole. Oops.

We laughed and laughed at the guy in the back of GA working some small board and dancing like mad. Over in the front row of the presale section (109?) there was a chick in green who went crazy during Head Like A Hole (I think). People watching is always great at these shows.

Overall, I had a good time.

Sickness!!! PM was awesome and BCD and Reptile were the shit!!!

Awesome show. I kind of regretted getting GA though, I was something like 3 rows from the stage, and it was the most compressed mound of flesh and sweat I'd ever experienced. Glad they switched it up a bit from the previous night. Big Come Down and Reptile made it glorious.

Awesome show.

This was the first time I'd seen any rock concerts in Mass. since I moved here (5th time seeing NIN) so I was excited to get a chance to experience something new. Fantastic show! I had presale tickets and was about 5-10 ft from the rail in the center of the pit, so I got squished pretty good for most of the show.
The lighting effects were just breath-taking. It just amazes what they've come up with on their various tours, particularly the lights they use during the instrumentals. Seeing the band play in the middle of what looks like a gradually intensifying rainstorm until all you can see are streaming white lights was one of my personal favorites.
As far as the music goes, I was fine with the sound as I've certainly heard worse (and it sounded pretty great from where I was standing, but I wasn't in a place that would get a lot of echo or other interference, so it worked for me).
I had been talking with my friend before the show about Peter Murphy, for no other reason than the topic happened to come up, so imagine my surprise when he came out as the special guest for Reptile! Just a great highlight. Incidentally, it was the first time my friend had been to a NIN show, so it's definitely a memorable experience.
I wanted to get into Deerhunter, but ended up feeling mostly "meh" about them. Based on last night's experience, I think that they're more suited for late night listening through headphones rather than pumping up a crowd before a NIN show.
All-in-all a fantastic show with a very enthusiastic crowd. I survived the pit the whole time and it was intense, but definitely worth it (I was grateful for the long Ghosts interlude as it gave me time to recover). Still drank A LOT of water after the show though.

LOL! We did too. I'm pretty sure it was the lighting guy. He was flipping out. By the end he had ripped off his shirt and was slamming on the board. He was jumping around the whole show.

Or she may have been trying to pickpocket you. I know 2 people who got pickpocketed by a hip-grinding chick the night before.

Or both of them reprising "Final Solution" from Summer 2006.

no way. if i didn't stop her her hand would have been down the front of my pants. after i stopped her she kept trying to make eye contact w/ me until she finally got hoisted up and out over the front rial.

BEST.SHOW.EVER.
COMPLETELY ICONIC ROCK HISTORY.
I'll prob review it later on my blog.
Really fuckin' tired right now from last night and emotionally ravaged.

I was in the front row slightly to the right of Trent right in front of Finck last night and the experience was so emotional/overwhelming for me that thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.

It was the best show I've ever seen in my life and TR IS THE BEST PERFORMER/ARTIST. I completely appreciate the way he gives you everything emotionally and raw. Feeling his energy/vibe is incredible.

It was wild seeing Finck up close, he's a demon guitar god! I was surprised that Trent threw so much stuff (tambourine into audience!!) and even the little keyboard he uses during the Slip section! I think that wasn't planned because it came out so far it slightly brushed the front row.

The way he showed us his soft side by thanking the band, thanking the audience for understanding the reschedule of the show, and by waving good-bye to us at the end was nice too.

"The Poet" as Peter Murphy named Trent deserves every dollar he gets because he certainly works for it. He was completely wet and dripping with sweat, seriously like SOAKING WET after the first 3 songs!

PS - the Pit really wasn't that bad if you're against the rail and defend your area/body and don't move too much! I learned that when you put your arms up or even slightly adjust your pose ppl will squeeze in on you the first chance they get so you won't be able to reposition yourself AGAIN due to the enormous pressure coming from all sides. I'm a little sore today but nothing major. Having tits in the pit is actually good because it offers padding in the front. Haha!

The only time I got pissed off was when Finck was going off on an amazing solo during HLAH and some moron surfed up and kicked me in the head. I had my eyes closed 'cause I was totally rocking out to Finck's vibe and then the kick came. Oops! [Note to Self: Don't close eyes in pit ever again!]

Hahahaha.

Question - The red AIR bandanas that ppl were holding during Survivalism, where does one get one of those? Was that an ETS thing for the support of YZ?

The red AIR flags were handed out by a fan to the first 20 or so people that were in line for the presale entrance around 2PMish (the people who actually waited in line and not the ones who showed up at the last minute and budged everyone. . .)

the show last night was simply the best concert i have ever seen! back in August I tried not to spoil the experience by watching any visuals but after the cancellation i gave up and watched a bunch of the performances online. I kinda wish i had held out to see them there for the first time, But they were still MUCH better in person. My boyfriend who isn't much of a NIN fan was having a great time singing along to a few songs (thanks Rock Band) and was pretty much speechless about the visuals after the first few songs.

one sour note was the tickets we got, we thought they were alright but ended up being horrible so we moved to the back of the venue in a pretty empty section, i wanted to go closer but my boyfriend didn't want to "risk" being caught in the wrong seats. it was a great view of the stage almost straight on but it was too far back for my camera to get any decent pictures. too bad. it was great just to sit back and take in the visuals but i missed being up close and being able to actually see the faces of the performers. I was the person with the glow stick, there was another person to one side with one too but he kept swinging it around all crazy. I just wore mine around my neck with my ETS laminate.

I was hoping for The Wretched and was a little disappointed once Closer started after The Frail.
It would have been nice to get something in place of THTF, i thought the visuals were a bit forgettable and similar to the other songs that just had flashing red/blue lights.

the ghosts section was a nice departure from all the in your face songs..although it was a little annoying to hear some negative comments from some casual/idiot fans behind us who had never heard of ghosts and were all like "WTF! play close again!" luckily they left a little after that.

Peter Murphy was a nice addition to Reptile although i would have preferred Trent to sing it. I was too far to see all of his groping of the band members but it was still very entertaining.

the way the show closed with Hurt and ITT was great especially with the exit they each made one by one waving goodbye to the crowd. the music sounded so sad and the overwhelming applause each member received made me not want it to end.

Got to love the ETS word filter.

If that was a lighting guy, this proves to me that everything is automated, everything. All he did was rock back and forth against the tiny board. I thought he was going to break it. Bad imitation of Allie.

I forgot to mention that Josh during Wish was amazing. There are so many fan girls and boys here going on and on about how great he is, but it wasn't till we watched him on that song that proved it to me.

Oh yeah, and the curtain was really cool. Especially, when all three layers were going. I forget which song that was.

wow... great show

Or she may have been trying to pickpocket you. I know 2 people who got pickpocketed by a hip-grinding chick the night before.

that goth couple, the bitch with blue hair and the tall, emaciated girl-lookin fuck with the huge boots who kept stepping all over my feet, tried to pickpocket my passport. WHAT??

They played it in Oklahoma City and Lexington. (Which means I actually *did* hear it before in Lexington and didn't remember... toomanyshowsbigblur.)

What what in da butt! We did too. I'm pretty sure it was the lighting guy. He was flipping out. By the end he had ripped off his shirt and was slamming on the board. He was jumping around the whole show.

Got to love the ETS word filter.

If that was a lighting guy, this proves to me that everything is automated, everything. All he did was rock back and forth against the tiny board. I thought he was going to break it. Bad imitation of Allie.

Yes, there is automation. The dancing guy is the [s]sound[/s] head lighting boy.

I was behind the guy with the yellow hat in the photoblog! I'm so mad, I could've been in the picture had the crowd not shifted! Anyway, that was the longest 'crush' I've ever been a part of. They usually last 3 or 4 songs and then let up, but for the entire 2 hour set, we were packed as tight as people could possibly be packed. I'm a bit thankful we didn't have to deal with too many crowd surfers and the constant back & forth-refoot or fall-experience.

I was hoping for the longest time that the Worcester show would get The Great Destroyer, so a big yay that it happened.

Peter Murphy... again. Better the second time around with the groping.

nope. she was alone.

what do you mean everything was authomated light-wise? Jason ("the sound boy") touches tons of buttons while dancing his evil dance. he only had rest (stepped back from his board and behaved calmly) during parts when band triggers video effects with their instruments.

All right, so 14 Ghosts II has been played...rarely. I still love that freaking song, and am so grateful to have actually gotten to see it done live.

Oh, I do hope someone ended up taping the show. What a night.

Seriously? WTF is with that? OH man, that bitch made me so mad... I wanted to punch her teeth in, thankfully they moved away from us after just a couple songs.

I concede my error if you concede that I never said "everything" was automated. I simply said there was automation. As in, some.

I asked people smarter than me, who think Jason triggers live, on-the-fly elements while the other desk controls interactive elements (someone, anyone?). The Wired and Live Design articles seem to support that.

That was an awesome show. got there @ 1:30 but since I had regular GA tix, I was still 5th-6th row (which means that when the show started, I was about 4 feet from the rail) My girlfriend was at her first NIN show ever and I gotta admit she impressed me. I thought she wouldn't last much past Gave up but it wasn't until Survivalism that we had to move back lest she faint. (She is about 5'4", 130 lbs)

And about that, it was the tightest pit I've ever been in. Even during the Ghosts section could we barely breathe. And that stupid @sswipe who actually crowed surfed during the third song, wtf man?!? You kicked my jaw and nearly knocked my gf out! Can't people enjoy these relaxing songs a little?

The Great Destroyer was extatic (despite the little lyric mess-up from Trent. It happens to everyone, I can't hold it against him). And I almost died when Peter Murphy came on stage.

Can't wait to see them tomorrow in Montreal. we'll have seats then but at least, we'll be able to contemplate the visuals from afar.


All in all, excellent show.

I've put more pictures up. Manchester (more to go) and have started on Worcester. Go raise my view count, it makes me feel all warm and squirmy inside. (Actually it's interesting to see which ones *don't* get high views. I love this one of Robin and only about three people have bothered clicking it. Sadness.)


Robin on Josh's drum riser

More Pretty Pictures

i forgot, during deerhunter's set, i saw robin walk past me and stand next to the sound/light board in the back. at least me and one other guy noticed since we both turned our heads back to look at him and said 'WTF?'

You guys are fuckin' hilarious how you talk about the fans at the show... "the girl w- the duct taped boobs"... and it's even funnier that I know exactly who you all are talking about. I wonder how many looks of disgust she got that night! As Peter Murphy said, "this is not a goth show."

The pre-sale worked out REALLY WELL too. I got to stand right up front next to ppl who went to like 25 shows and waited in line since 1:30PM and I didn't get there until 3:30! A+ Trent. *mwa*

;D
xoxo.

I WISH I COULD GO TO ONE MORE DAMN SHOW!! [If not the rest of the tour it was THAT FUCKING GOOD.]

*wishes she was rich*

...off to get the new Pumpkin's DVD now, that's 4.5 fucking hours long and has unreleased material!... looks like I've got my night all set. WOO-HOO!

My body is still fucking killing me from the pit, so I won't be working out today again... blar.

I like watching goths because they are funny. Not sure I agree with Peter Murphy. If you can't see goths at a NIN show then where can you see them? They've gotta go somewhere. The people watching is an event in itself.

He spends more time dancing then doing anything so I say it is pretty automated, and I am not expert, just some one who laughed and laughed at his dancing. Lucky him for getting paid to do that.

Shit! I would do that for free!!

I also created a google picasa web album with all 212 pics, i will add the link soon, after i properly caption them.

Loud whistler and they guy that screamed "Fuck You" during Hurt (maybe the same guy) - total losers. There was one super hot chick hanging by the area where you took the pic of Rob, she kept looking for crewmembers coming out of the backstage area so I think she was after someone.

This was my 6th show but first time in GA. Yeah, we were squished. But for the most part people were cool. But others not so much, like the two fat chicks who pushed their way in.... but I digress.

Bit of a clusterfuck with the presale tix, I thought. Wait in line to wait in line again to wait in line again, christ, it's easier getting through LOGAN airport on an international flight.

The show was nothing short of incredible. My husband & I were right in front of Finck and it was a real treat. He was so amazing. Imagine, this guy is playing the same songs pretty much every show and he just seems to give his whole expression each night.

Also love the way Trent does that squinty eye demon look but can't remember the song he does it in. So cool to be so close to the stage despite the lung deflating experience. To be that close though, totally worth it.

My favorite part - how The Great Destroyer just went on for ever and ever and ever. I thought it wasn't going to end.

Also - to see Peter Murphy - so unbelievably cool.

Really sorry I missed the chick with the tape on her boobs. And I could have done with out the dude in front of me flicking his sweaty hair back like a diva every few minutes - but I digress again.

All in all, one my my favorite shows so far. Truly memorable. I LOVE NIN.

The ending of Great Destroyer where they kept rolling the bass over the crowd was incredible.

one of those asses managed to clip my in the back of the head.
I think i know the girl you speak of, if memory serves me right she came from backstage, i saw her coming from that way.

this was my first time seeing NIN, and definitely not my last. absolutely jaw dropping. i had heard about it, and never could contain my excitement to finally see them one day, and it finally came true. the person i went with had tickets from the rescheduled date on the floor. being on the floor during 'march of the pigs'...the survival is the best part.

here is a link to a few photos:

Yeah that was me :) j/k

If TR could play an entire show that was just March of the Pigs/Head like a Hole, I'd die happy.

I think half the crowd would die before the show was over!

Nah, he is doing a lot back there, and having a blast doing it. You should see the chick who did the sound for the last Ministry tour -- she rocked it out each night. She and Jason could have a sweet soundboard rocking out battle.

opinions?


I should have it up by tomorrow !!!!! please let me know how the sample is also do people want a 16 bit or true 24 bit copy more?

i don't collect 24-bit, but either one would be nice. thank you for taping, and sharing. the quality on this is excellent to my ears. a nice keepsake memory.

Eric - do 16 bit and let people PM you for the 24 if they want it.

Personally I'd love 24 bit, but I'll take whatever you're willing to offer. If you provide me with 24 or 16, I'd be happy to provide a mirror if needed.

Regards.

Holy kick ass, and kick ass quality. I am really looking forward to grabbing this when it's done, i truly thank you for the effort and willingness to share.
This show was mind blowing and having an audio recording is just amazing.

THANK YOU!!!!!

http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-deta ... ?id=222808

Enjoy !!!!!!!




feel free to put it on other sites just don't trade it in mp3 if anyone wants the original 24 bit I will be doing trades for that.

Thanks so much for doing this! Am downloading and will leave it seeding afterward.

I was busy with something for the first 9 or 10 songs and so didn't really hear those and this will make up for it. Thanks!

grrrr!!! Work has it blocked as "anonymous proxy & hacking"

I would if it were possible but it isn't.

When I went to burn this to disc using Burrrn, only half of the files on disc one actually come up. They all play fine through Winamp, and this is the first time that Burrrn has given me a problem. Does anyone have any recommendations on other freeware that'll give me a gapless disc straight from the FLAC files?

can anyone host this somewhere else? my internet blocks torrents...I hate dorm internets

PS. the quality on this is amazing! props to you ScreamingSlave!

thank you very much

Can someone e-mail this to me as well? I don't have a torrent on my computer. PM me if anyone can do this for me.

I second that request

I am going to start uploading this (16bit FLAC) to MegaUpload tonight, once everyone else is done using their computers and the bandwidth sucking won't be an issue. I'll post a link here when it's ready, or you can PM me if you prefer.

Thanks in advance

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=93GOXIWA

Downloaded from Dime, put into a RAR archive, and uploaded for those who can't do torrents.

much thanks!!!

Much thanks to Screaming Slave!

Another thank you to theimage13 for re-uploading, helped a lot.

So who's the moron who can be clearly heard saying "Of course he plays his gayest song last" @ the 1:37 mark of Hurt?

I'm going to guess the same guy who wanted to crowd surf during Ghosts and mosh during The Warning.

Well I got the flac files, then had to download winamp and codec to change them into wav, then turned those into mp3 w itunes, then burned to cd. Took about 2 hrs! But it sounds good! Thank youuuu!

Argh! You would've been better off burning those WAVs to CD using Burrrn - oh well, guess it all depends on the quality of your speakers anyway.

I do not want this posted in mp3 !!!!!!

It says that right in the nfo file please respect my wishes.

Listening to the FLACs for the first time (finally had the time) and am in the the breakdown for the Great Destroyer.

Thanks so much for uploading this!

By the way, where in the arena were you? I was in the pit and it is pretty amazing how differently things sound (namely I can hear more detail now that I couldn't hear in the pit).

EDITED:
Ok, I just read the txt you included saying where you were recording from. Thanks again for your work!

thanks for the 2nd recording ScreamingSlave...got your CT show as well since I was there, too. And thanks for uploading this on megaupload Theimage. The quality is good...I think the CT came out a little better, but both are great. Thanks again!

And yea, the girl(s?) screaming all the time is slightly annoying, but whatever...and yea, you can definitely hear the tool saying "of course he saves the gayest song for last"...even though it wasn't last and of course isn't gay, but still.

You can burn the .flac files direct to CD's with Nero 9 (I did the day they were up on the torrent).

Thank you very much for posting, I listened to it again today, awesome.

PS, that guy in hurt REALLY pissed me off when I first heard it...I wish I knew more about audio software, I'd try to edit him out somehow.

It might be possible to lessen it by putting it through some filters, but I'd have to try it first. If I ever get around to it, I'll let you know.

I couldn't really steady my hands long enough to get many decent shots - but here are a few.

The remaster of trudatman's sorce that I did is up on dime,

http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-deta ... ?id=226365

here is a sample:

http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/8/30/ ... Sample.mp3

I will try to upload this to the pirate bay, once dime gets enough seeders.

Ok I didnt catch this at the show but listening to BennyBlanco's recording of it I notice during The Great Destroyer that Trent sings a different line and half the lyrics are missing?

It starts off like the album with the lyrics "say your name try to speak as clearly as you can you know" but at that point Trent says different lyrics (about 5-7 words maybe) that I cant make out and cuts out the other lyrics up till "hold your breath wait until you know the time is right on time the end is near" where the song is the same the for the rest of it.

I saw them in CT in Aug and have the recording of that show and its normal album lyrics. Now is this something screwed up with the recording (doesnt sound like it, theres nothing wrong with the whole show), is it something Trent would do normally during The Great Destroyer as the tour went on, or was this something special?

Also, can anyone make out what hes saying in that line? I have no clue.

probably a forgotten lyric moment
