ETS Tour Journal

Fucking hippies.

first poster all I can say is it was beasty!!!! The lights were amazing (as usual) and the sound was PHENOMENAL! We ran our rigs at about 11ft in the air and I also got most of the show on video. I stopped during This Way Out is Through because I wanted to just rock out to one of my fav. songs, and then had to switch out batteries during Dead Souls!!!! 2 HOUR SET!!!! AND 2 ENCORE BREAKS!!!!!! SICK AS EVER!!@$!%!

And Dillinger Escape Plan came out during Wish!!!! Broke everything!!!!!

Words can not express how incredible this show was. Absolutely flawless in every way. I cried pretty heavily during TDTWWA and absolutely sobbed during Hurt. The setlist was fantastic and I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. There's really not much for me to say as I'm still in awe it all. That I wish I could see them again is my one regret.

Sister made me leave Bonnaroo this morning at 5, so that's why I'm posting so early. It was unbelievable. I am incredibly happy that I saw this show. I have been waiting 5 years to hear the Day the World Went Away and I never thought I would ever hear the Way Out is Through. Incredible. The Fragile was another favorite.

I really loved how Trent has changed the setlist this leg of the tour. One thing that did kind of get on my nerves during the LITS tour was the repetitive setlist (though the show was awesome as always), so this was a nice change in pace.

Two Complaints and that's it: Drunken assholes who decide it's cool to push all the way to the front. This includes that crazy bitch who decided it was cool to start flinging her arms all around as she squeeze to the front during Burn. Also, the staff were dicks, telling people not to record videos and shit on cameras.

Other than that, it was perfect. My favorite NIN show by far. I think I might have cried during Hurt, but I definitely sang my loudest during TDWWA.

Don't go away Trent. Take a few years off from touring, but don't completely abandon it.

Thanks for one great final show.

ahhh TDTWWA! what a great way to wrap up the show! i sure hope everyone was singing along at that part (you know which one)...that's the way i've always imagined it in my head.

what a great set!!! anyone have any full audio yet?

Just got back from Bonnaroo - NIN were amazing!! I was right on the center rail about 10ft from the front and it was incredible. La Mer, The Fragile, TDTHWA, The Way Out Is Through...... Just fucking great. Can't wait to hear the recordings from this one.

Decent but not my favorite nin show. Still at the Roo in the sun but ill post again when I'm home. Afraid of Americans was the highlight for me. Could have pulled out all the stops but didn't. TR seemed happy to be almost done touring.

Wow...... I'm not even sure what to say cause this show rocked. I got Non Entity AND TDTWWA!?!??!?! My two favorite songs. My favorite part had to be that during TDTWWA it was so quiet especially during the bridge of the song. It was the perfect send off/ way to end my career of seeing the last show. I did cry a bit during the show cause it started to hit me that I would never see this again. I literally snuck into Bonnaroo at 1 in the morning JUST to see this show, and it was well worth it. Thank you Trent for all these years and helping me through the rough spots, it won't be soon forgotten.

running a stand at 12 feet is just amazing for NIN. Unfortunately there were only 3 tapers running stands!!!!

It was nise, gise! Second time seeing DAD SOULS performed, what a treat. Trent's little solo on The Becoming killed and Robin's stroke-marred smiling during Hurt at the prospect of someone being able to see him was hilarious. Very loving crowd. PERMABISE, LIVE TRENT.

wish w/ DEP

Don't watch if you don't want to see shaky camera work. :-D

according to trent, this will be my last nine inch nails show, and it was pretty damn fantastic. i don't think trent has played a 27 song setlist this tour, but we fucking got it. the crowd was rough though, i kept getting squished between people because it was packed so tight and eventually my backpack broke. it was so new ;(

opening with home was fucking amazing, the tropical breakdown in piggy was great, trent's synth solos on metal, the becoming, i'm afraid of americans, gave up, and the way out is through were probably the best part though. the crowd got extra crazy during burn and motp.

my absolute favorite parts were mr. self destruct and the day the world went away, which i've been waiting to hear for years. the na na na's and robin's slide guitar solo were intense. thank you trent, and i hope i can see you on your 2019 solo piano casino tour. please come to the beau rivage trent. please.

amazing show - was glad i got to be part of the last US show.

I was one of the only 14 donors for Eric... the band was extremely nice and took as much time with us as they could given the chaotic scene and schedule at the festival. We did get to watch the show from the stage which was pretty surreal...

I have some video i'll post later most of it from directly behind Ilan

Oh shit, I forgot to mention that after the show, everyone did a chant of "thank you Trent!".

That alone was emotional as fuck.

Awesome show. I took a ton of pictures. Here's a few good ones.



Unfortunate it was only my second NIN show.

You were right behind me. In this picture that's my husband's hand and mine on the left.

I don't know why that amuses me so much, but it does.

Sorry it's taken so long. Trying to return to the normal world still. Here are some of the pictures I took:

I've barely even gotten to my Bonnaroo pictures yet but I did put up this one of Ilan. FINALLY got a few decent ones of him.



There are a few new ones on my site and/or Flickr, and the pictures I took for the Huffington Post are up there although when I put them up on my own site they will be the large versions. They only got images at 650 on the long edge, and nothing from backstage; plus I have others I didn't send them.
