Lexington knows how to party!


2008/08/31 - Lexington, KY [Rupp Arena]
You must have been right next to me. There was a girl who kept yelling, "Trent, we love you! ... or at least I do." Ugh. Wasn't funny the first 20 times you said it. edit: nevermind, you appear to have been on the other side from me. Ha.Codename wrote:Just got back home - great show! The crowd was much better than the show here in knoxville.
have some decent photos and some video but no energy to go through all of them and upload anything else right now...
Video from start of Ghosts segment:

not the best quality as youtube compressed the shit out of it...
that was actually my friend screaming that.. she gets rowdy at concerts.. I think she only screamed it that once, possibly couple more times.....slip wrote:You must have been right next to me.

Anyway, good show. Much better than the Knoxville show. The changes in the setlist were good. It kills me that the Frail doesn't lead into the Wretched. Ugh.


Agreed... my wife, mother-in-law and myself were right there with you (we were the three peeps immediatley to the right of the opening in the gates... my beautiful wife, her mom (older lady in NIN shirt) and the gruffy looking cigar smoking dude (aka ME)), and it sucked that they just coudlnt have atleast sent a rep (venue security... which there was def no lack of out there, band rep, merch attendant) someone to just say NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. but hell it was nice to talk to some fans, joke with security and cool off post show regardless. We had a three hour trip ahead of us so it would have been nice ot get home before 3am but nothing ventured, nothing gained.Kqueenkitty wrote:But AFTER the show,Me,DMsiren and no more than 25 people stood at the rails out by the buses for over an hour waiting for some sign of NIN life. Brett and some other dude got in the two white vans (that DMsiren and myself caught them pulling up in preshow) and went right to the door and picked them up and drove off! Now...while I don't EXPECT them to come over and sign stuff and do pics,it would have been a kind gesture to stop the vans and at least say "hey,we've gotta run,but thanks for coming,you're a bunch of douchebags yada yada yada...". I did see Justin wave when he was in the van leaving,but nobody else. Out of 15 shows I've never gotten to meet anyone but Aaron (and he doesn't really count),and it looks as if I never will either. I dunno...it kind of hurt my feelings a wee bit.

You were also at the last show (Lexington 2006) and released a similar quality recording of EDIETS. Did you ever upload the rest of the show or what?

Hey mason, nick from the show. Cool to see you on here.mason wrote:
The show was fucking great. Had presale, was about 2 people away from the rail on the slight right of stage, directly in front of Robin. I met a lot of cool people, a girl from Fairfield with her Mom who where cool, a guy and his lady from cinci like me and jess, and some couple from somewhere who where very nice. (Hey blonde dude and Mrs.)
MOKE!! You're back! I'd love to hear both the rest of this show and of the 06 concert that I also went to, I've been looking around for that ever since you posted EDIETS!

so we're very happy to be here for you and appreciate it and (? i'll do anything for you ?)

Hey nadine, I think I was hanging with you and two other guys before and during the show. You guys were a cool bunch. I was the one with the knowledge shirt. Everything everyone has about the show has pretty much been true. I totally missed my morning flight from drunken shenanigans at that Martini bar across the street. But I guess it happened with good reason cause I ran into Trent and Josh at the airport while trying to get my 2:00 flight. I didnt want to haggle them so I pretty much said something along the lines of last night's show kicking ass. They were like thanks.nadinemachine wrote:They were actually taken by my boyf, I was a bit in front of him, he's not a Nails fan...he was my photographerlivinginclip wrote: ...

I spent the first 3 songs trying to decide just what the fuck White Williams was, b/c the clip or 2 I had heard on myspace seemed more dancey. Looks like for whatever reason they lacked their bassist last night. After 3 songs I mentioned to my wife that the way he was singing and the reverb for some reason was reminding me of Irish folk. So, electronic Irish folk w/occasional glitch moments courtesy of a Kaos padmanifold wrote:White Williams. I'm sorry, you suck ass. The only time I clapped was when you said it was your last song.
Edit: almost forgot. Does the shorter/live version of Closer appear on any albums? I like the new ending a lot.

Reptile sent chills down my spine, they didn't play The Wretched, or The Big Come Down, like I was hoping, but I am more than satisfied with the playlist. The Great Destroyer owned, and so did Vessel. The bands energy was awesome, although my heart kind of stopped when Trent threw his controller, or synth off stage. Sorry to the people behind me when Robin threw a water bottle at us, I jumped a little more than I had attended on. Security were extremely nice, I talked to a couple of them for a while before the show began, one security guard kept saying "You know you guys are about to get rocked the fuck out!", made me giggle. He also made a comment on White Williams capri's. Watching youtube videos for hours at a time of the visuals definitely does not serve them justice, I honestly do not see how this will be topped, but I am sure Trent has something up his sleeve. All in all, thanks to everyone for being so friendly (especially the free lolli-pop, I was craving something sweet), thanks to the band for an amazing show and everyone else involved.
I have three videos and a bunch of pictures, I am uploading them at the moment and will post this asap.

Wow,
I was a few people behind you on Robins side! Very nice crowd around us, just heard one asshole during Hurt. Congrats on the Robin water bottle!
Some kid named Andrew got the water bottle. He was very excited about it.deepdeepdeepdeep wrote: Oh, and I didn't get the bottle, my fingertips touched it for a moment, my depth perception isn't the best. Robin was amazing all night long, I am glad I was on his side.

We'll just have to go through and find the best quality of each and ask the person to upload it.
the best way to do it would be to get 3-4 videos of each song and mix each song one at a time to get a nice multi angle going and once you have that done lay the audio over the newly mixed video and burn to dvd. With that being said I have no idea how you would actually do that but it sure does sound good :)jeffdill wrote:Yeah I was just about to come back and say that, haha.dunebug81 wrote:I think you could piece together all the videos that people and use the audio that Moke posted yesterday and that would be a pretty sweet multicam DVD.

jeffdill, I think I was standing beside you at the rail. Your friend made a hell of a catch with the tamborine. he is tall so it was like Trent was playing horseshoes.
I still maintain that Trent threw it at me since he made eye contact with me as he threw it, but obviously I don't stand a chance with Dan next to me, haha. It's his birthday this week anyway, it's all good. He also got a piece of Aaron's broken guitar last time in Lexington too.cpo1000 wrote:jeffdill, I think I was standing beside you at the rail.

But you might be talking about my friend Nick this is him
:D My friend had on a black "Snape is my prince" t-shirt and I had on a white Ghosts shirt. We were actually seated next to the huge guy. There were some ladies behind us and one of them might have had on pink, but I know one of them had a headband with horns on it.

Hollowsminion: Hah! We were 3&4 as well - two rows directly behind you! I was the bald-shaven guy with the old-school NIN "Disonance" shirt (1995, blue computerized "n" and return characters) although you probably couldn't see us after White Williams left on account of the huge guy that ended up in row H. Unfortunately I can't recall what you may have looked like, but my wife thinks there was a woman in pink by you?

My wife snuck her Creative Zen 60GB into the Lexington show last weekend. It has a mic and record function. Yeah yeah I know it's not as good as a real taper's rig but hell we had it lying around so why not try it, right?
Anyway. Got the ENTIRE show from start-finish. The Zen (I never bothered to know this until after the fact) records at 4-bit 16,000HZ... not the best, but tolerable.
Anyway. Ends up as a 2-hour 120MB WAV file. Sounds surprisingly good at times. But overall, NIN was just overkill and overloaded the puny mic, heh heh. During playback there is an obvious muffled/low frequency sound, especially in the percussion/bass.
Is there a good basic way to clean this up a bit and tone down the low-frequency overload? I have been messing around with Audacity and yeah, this isn't my day job. Every time I think I've got it figured out, I make it worse. You'd think adjusting the EQ band would do it but no... there seems to be more to it than that.
Knowing this is not the best quality to begin with, I could just wait for the rest of Moke's most excellent recordings.... but again, it would be nice to have "our own" cleaned up.
If anyone can help I would be happy to share the finished product...!
Doesn't help much after the fact, but I always wondered if you could rig some sort of foam cover for the mic...sort of the equivalent of an earplug.Nirvana23 wrote:goingincirclez wrote:Sounds surprisingly good at times. But overall, NIN was just overkill and overloaded the puny mic, heh heh.
