ETS Tour Journal

Post if you were at tonight's show.

off the top of my head. (i know most of these aren't in order, except the first two and last three.)

i think that's all of them.


glad i was able to make one show from this tour. unfortunately i missed the lights in the sky tour... watched from the center of the lawn and had an amazing time. i was a big wuss and started crying during the fragile. definitely a bittersweet moment. hope that trent comes back after he's had a sufficient break. even if it's a few dates here or there.

all of the 19 songs you posted are correct. I also kept from memory this time and did not write them down but I do think I have the exact order if not real close so here goes:

N.I.N. was incredible. If this was the end...then that sucks! They are so powerful live. Good turnout tonight and I tried to stick it out for Janes. I'm not really a big fan of theirs but I'm sorry. I left midway through their set. There was just no way I could get amped for them after what I just saw with NIN. I think Trent did not talk so much tonight as I have heard at other shows but he did thank us several times and seemed very sincere in doing so. I was pretty emotional when they left the stage but I think in a positive way. The crowd was quite dead during the (mellow middle) part of the set but was insane for the final stretch after Spiral.

REWARD OFFERED FOR BLACK RANGER/FISHING VEST LOST AT THE SHOW TONIGHT.

Argh.

*facepalm*

Fucking great show! Might be even better than my LITS experience (which was also amazing...)

JA and Street Sweeper were spot-on too, but the setlist alone made NIN the highlight...

What an amazing show! Meet and Greet was awesome, soundcheck was awesome, SSSC was awesome, setlist was friggin killer, this trip made up plenty fold for the Lakewood/Atlanta fiasco. Great job and thank you to everyone who made this possible!

(more video coming)

14 of the 19 songs played in Charlotte were also played in PA 2 nights before...that was kinda lame since there were other songs that have made it into the setlist in recent weeks that should have been played.

Nothing really exciting about this show to say other then it was my final show of the roadtrip and it was good times!

Soundcheck was

The Frail
The Wretched
The Beginning of the End
Banged and Blown Through
In This Twilight

this is the correct order of the setlist

Another great show. Worth the trip down there.

jesus christ this show was awesome! street sweeper sounded so fucking tight and Tom Morello really made that guitar his bitch! i'm really started to dig that band a lot!

loved NIN. first time seeing my all time favorite band. sucks they are going a way for awhile. i got a bit emotional too. we also kept having to move around because to the tall, drunk fucks in front of us.

I tried to stick it out for JA, as well. but i was just too worn out from NIN! lol But I did manage to stay until Jane Says. Plus no matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to get into JA. I think Perry has a phenomenal voice.

It seems all the good/rare songs have been played during soundcheck the last few shows....

I was prolly that drunk fuck lol
Nah I had a blast but no matter how many NIN shows I see they will never top the Charlotte show back in 2006 with the Lightning storm.
Missed SSSC and Im cool with that cuz Tom Morello is very predictable and they could never ever touch the music he made with RATM. Janes Addiction RAWKED HARD. Dave Navarro is a living guitar legend.

Im afraid of Americans

Oh my god... it was fucking awesome-- we came in from Wilmington and were an hour late (grr...not my fault!) but I think we only missed the first few songs-- jesus, Trent-- third time seeing you, and every-fucking bit as incredible as ever!

God damn.


And Janes?

Can I confess?
I never really opened up to them in the past-- not aversion, just ignorance.

Holy shit...I'll be honest-- when Trent said onstage that they were gonna follow him, instead of the other way around, I was like--they're just not going to be able to match the shit NIN was dishing out-- I was so amped from NIN's excellence that I was waiting for a let-down.

How could I have been so wrong!? Different? Very---but overall I am a brand-spanking-new Janes Addiction fan! I was ENTRANCED! Granted it was a different pace than NIN's, which I suspect accounts for some of the griping-- but I've never seen anything like it-- the vibe, the visuals, the stellar guitar solos...and PERRY FUCKING FARREL-- the man is a god-damned force of nature

Thank you so much for giving me one of the most inspiring concert duo's of my life-- I fucking love both of you for a never-forget experience...

To the critics in this thread-- what the fuck ever

PS-- anyone have the setlist of what JA played?
I have some CD's to buy...

I saw this girl dancing at the show and it got me pumped up!
She knew all the words to all the songs!
Check her out.

We did the 1200 VIP package. I can't even begin to describe how incredibly awesome it was. Here are some pics http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?cro ... 775&ref=mf

Another great show. Worth the trip down there.

So I had "Head Down" in the wrong place. Okay thanks. I really felt I had only one song out of order and that would be the one I know the least so it makes sense. (WIth regards to the poster who really dug Janes) My thoughts on Janes..honestly. There is nothing wrong with them or their show. In fact you can say its great and I can nod along and say they put on a good show.

But the pace and adrenaline of the NIN show and then the total "crash" in pace and energy leading into Janes is backwards. I was so spent and sweating and I only weigh a buck 35 after Nine Inch Nails...that the only thing that could keep me on my feet and still moving is the equal pace. Jane's was like someone taking away my coffee at 10am and telling me I had to keep working on three hours sleep. It would have worked nicer the other way around. I did not think their light show merited them getting the dark stage. It was not any better than N.I.N's. It just came off better because they played full set after sun down.

For the poster that said they were able to make it to "Jane says" before leaving. I think that was their last song so congratulations...you survived the whole set.

Fuck.

I think I just figured out what happened.

I still had the vest with me when I bought a shirt just outside the venue and it turns out that I'm missing the shirt, too.

I guessing that when I cleaned out the backseat of the car to make room for for a few pals we were giving a ride to I must've left the vest and shirt on top of the car and then driven off with it on the roof. (Which explains why I couldn't find it by our parking spot later that night when I went back to search.)

It's a black vest, so it should jump out pretty well in the daylight, but unfortunately I'm in D.C. now.

If any charitable soul who lives nearby would be able to take a quick look at the parking area and maybe the road between there and the Sleep Inn on Tryon I would be IMMENSELY grateful since it might still be sitting right wherever it fell off.

The reward offer stands, of course, and I could REALLY make it worth your while if you find it and contact me.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

It was a great show and miraculously getting my vest back (along with its important and unfortunately irreplaceable contents) would cap things off nicely.

Most of the songs they've been playing are off their first 2 studio albums, Nothing's Shocking and Ritual de lo Habitual.

OMT.....Street Sweeper Social Club was awesome! They got a huge reaction from the 1/4 or so fans that were in their seats when they played their 35 minute set and I will get there new album in a few days. I never heard them at all going in to the show and by the third song I was already getting hooked. I read from previous reviews here but it is hilarious how many times the singer says the name of the band as if he wants to make sure you do not forget it. "we are not just a band, we're a club" was pretty funny too. I think I heard that five times.

What a blast.

What an awesome dude. I was terrified when I walked up to him! ha!

BRAD FROM KENTUCKY, GET AT ME IF YOU'RE READING THIS

Wow.
What a beautiful picture, Jackasphalt! You must've been thrilled (along with nervous)!

Anyway, dropping all that money and flying to North Carolina for this show was worth every bit of trouble. Fucking AWESOME experience, all of it.
And, for the record, I completely agree with mdlestat. Perry is one hell of an entertainer!

Any chance we can download these somewhere?

Thanks!

crzyed,

thank you so much for that video!

^^ YES - THANK YOU !!

Great quality too.

And I'll second the request for a megaupload link to download this collection of videos - One of the best of the tour imo.

I totally agree...this was my 14th show and also the worst show I've ever been to..."Metal"..."Home"...oh yeah I've SOOOO wanted to see those live...come the fuck on...

He didn't do The Becoming, he didn't do Heresy, he didn't do The Big Comedown...all these songs he did at previous shows on this tour, but noooooooo not NC...frankly I was pretty pissed off...it just seemed like a half-ass show...

Only highlight was seeing "I'm Afraid of Americans" live...that was pretty cool cause I've NEVER seen that live...oh yeah and SSSC was badass too...finally after 10 years since A Perfect Circle, Trent has a good opening band...

Jane's Addiction sucked ass too...walked out to the parking lot about 3 songs into their set...had more fun out there...

Notice how everyone who said the show was AWESOME got the meet and greet or whatever...but people who were in the seats or lawn like me are kinda iffy about it...sorry ain't got 1000 fucking dollars to blow like that...

Don't get me wrong I am a diehard NIN fan have been since the beginning like I said this was my 14th show...but this show was TRULY disappointing I never thought I would leave a NIN show pissed off but hey there's a first time for everything...

akm..thanks for posting those links! Really enjoying reliving the show right now....

I was right up front for this show with my digital camera that films video in 720p HD. The video came out AWESOME, but the sound is awful. Shame that the video is ruined. I need some help syncing some good audio to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll upload the video if I ever get some good audio for it! Thanks!

was looking for some flac recording of this, preferrably a torrent. i am not fortuneate enough to be a member of dimeadozen. suck.

thanks!!

damn thats so wierd. I got on dime adozen last night and was able to register!! I guess I was lucky! LOL
