ETS Tour Journal

2hrs 7mins of faultless energy, crowd well up for it. started with Home finished with In This Twilight. did not anticipate the hardcore gabba version of Mr Self Destruct to be my highlight but it was immense

Easily within the top 3 shows I've seen. Amazing crowd, rough but not violent - and I was right in front of Trent for crying out loud, awesome security for sorting out the presale queue mess and a great performance from NIN.

Setlist was something like (probably slightly out of order in the middle at times):
Home
1,000,000
Letting You
Sin
March of the Pigs
Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)
Metal
Head Down
Burn
Gave Up
La Mer
The Frail
The Wretched
Non-Entity
I Do Not Want This
Wish
Survivalism
Mr Self Destruct
Suck
The Downward Spiral
Echoplex
The Hand That Feeds
Head Like A Hole

You forgot The Line Begins To Blur which I think was before Head Down (and then came Metal)

Very awesome setlist and energetic show. They really gave their best. LOVE the home start of the set and everything after that just blew my mind song after song

Think it went Metal-TLBTB-Head Down. But I'm not sure, I'd been queueing since 10pm the night before. And now I feel like a zombie

You may be right. Another question:wasn't The Downward Spiral before Mr. Self Destruct?

They played TDS after I Do Not Want this iirc.

and yes, it went Metal-LineBlur-HeadDown

and they played Gone,Still before La Mer

oh. and fuck you to those trying to start a mosh pit during Home

It sounded like they played almost every song that had ever been written by NIN though. Everything was on form - the band, the crew, the security/management (who just had fantastic co-ordination). The crowd was brilliant where I was. Warm, tight, but not too much crushing. Strange that not many people were singing along in my area, but it didn't harsh my buzz.

I really loved that they played an atypical setlist. So much of the US set looked formulaic, but tonight I really didn't know what I was going to hear next. Loved that they ended the show in a LITS style (ITT into a Zero Sum breakdown with every member waving goodbye). Don't have much commentary on what the band members were doing as I had my eyes closed/was in shock for most of the show. Definitely worth my trip so far.

Oh, and I Do Not Want This had the talky bits in, which I was glad about!!

Mew were very energetic and powerful too. For anyone that thinks they're a slow indie band, their live shows are more prog/art rock, but without the pretention, and with every band member falling in love with their instruments.

ok I know I wasn't there but holy sweet jesus! how long was this set?!##@%%

A little over two hours. I was really, really happy with this setlist, by far one of the best of the tour. Best concert I've _ever_ been to.

Excellent show, and a remarkably friendly crowd. A bit of jumping around, but not the retarded semi-violent moshing nonsense, thank fuck.
The setlist was nice, but I wished they played Reptile and I'm afraid of Americans
My fifth NIN gig, and still no reptile dammit!

Best show I saw till now (no. 4).
Best show they ever played in the Netherlands from 2005.
IDNWT + TDS + ending with ITT was awesome.
They played for almost 2 hours.
Gone/Still: no, I think they didn't play that one. Maybe a part, but not complete?

They played for 2 hours and 10 minutes if my watch isn't off.

Amazing show!
I'm so glad they played in this twilight, because I thought after hurt the show was over. In this twilight is a so much better closer.

I saw so many of my favorites. I can't believe this band is to be disbanded.

Mew didn't do it for me though. Kinda painfull to have to watch them again tomorrow :s

Amazing show. Had to walk out early (during Hurt) to catch the Last Train Home (Get it Ilan) unfortunately. Croud seemed a bit tame from where I was standing, but the setlist rocked nevertheless. Bummer I missed In This Twilight though, as it's one of my favorite songs.

Waaooww. What a setlist, what an energy...

This easily made the top 3 in my NIN gigs' history. Just a pity the crowd was only responsive to the regular hits.

I liked Mew's music, they are not a live machine but I liked their songs.

What can I say about NIN's performance? I don't know... I'm still shocked. I got to hear most of my 'most wanted' songs, Piggy being an extra icing on the cake. I'm very happy to end my NIN live experience in such a way. That was a climax.

Thanks for everything and Adieu...

Still can't find the words to describe the gig!
What a great atmosphere, wonderful setlist (too bad about Reptile though) and what a terrific energy from the guys on stage!

Has anyone made pictures?

Awesome gig - got ourselves front and centre, close enough to lick Trent's sweaty biceps. Well, almost...

Took a few pics - here are a couple of decent ones:

Wow, what a great show. And it was so much different from Werchter, together these shows made the perfect setlist!

So much energy, great songs with my personal highlight The Downward Spiral en the the last song In This Twilight!!!!

Smoking hot show. Best I've personally seen from NIN. Sad to know they won't be back for a while. Very intense setlist with few breaks. Unfortunately no Ghosts material, but otherwise I can't think of a single complaint.

Hope to see you again someday, Trent!

Can someone post a final setlist for this gig plz?

Just cross-checked it with the Werchter gig I went to; I've got to see 30 different songs in 2 gigs :D

Great long setlist (Although too short considering I won't ever see NIN live again. Noooooooooo)

I was pleasantly surprised with The Downward Spiral. Not exactly my favorite track of TDS album, but for some reason yesterdays live rendition was one of the highlights for me.

Made some multicams with nice audio.

Let me know what you think of it. Thx

the best show I've seen on this tour. setlist, sound, playing, and energy. everything was there.

Pics... about 43 of them... Click any of the 2 photos to visit the album:



I also shot 1 little video of the very last part, Zero-sum...

My fave nin song ended my final show!

It was really an amazing show. I can't say anything that hasn't been said already. Was at the front, quite center. Very nice view. I'm happy for getting In This Twilight on my probably last show.

Did the pre-show meet happen? The one at Jinso. I don't think I saw the place on my way to the venue, and didn't go looking. It was probably staring me right in the afce, I just didn't realize...

We couldn't see it either..walked up and down the street a few times too. Though if you were near front and centre you would have been really close to us! Don't know what you look like else I would have said hello!

I think I saw you British guys at the front of the line, but got a shy-attack. I was in the line right after the two French girls who go to almost every show.

Oh! Did you have a bag that said Berlin on it?

Why, yes I did. I thought that the one thing about me that would have caught people's eyes had been the bright green (really warm) sweater...

Yeah, don't know why I remember that. Must have caught my eye and I assumed you were a German person. I think you were near that unfortunate blond girl who didn't know about presale and queued from the morning...and then watched as 500 people entered before her!

I queued between the superearly Brits and the dedicated French girls. In a superugly orange jacket for most of the day. :B Belated hi all. As usual I was too fookin shy to yell around for forum people. Figured a few things out though.

The unfortunate blond came right after me, but I have no idea what happened to her after the line was split. I was too busy trying to understand the logic of the venue staff...

Ratexla, I remember you. I think I saw you at the Centraal Station a day or two before the show, and I remember you from Berlin as well.

And finally some pics! Up until now I've had to look at them on the camera's screen, and on a big screen they seem to be quite smudgy. I didn't use the flash.
