I received this about a month after the show happened. It is a 20GB file and obviously I have had some difficulty finding a way to upload this. This is from the satellite feed that is not the same as the broadcast version. This is what was on the screens at the festival and the biggest thing is that it includes 'Hurt' which the main broadcast misses and ends after 'Head Like a Hole.' This is the complete show. I have converted this using handbrake for a more manageable release on the archive. It would kill the site's bandwidth to have the full 20GB file. I have converted this using Handbrake and used the best quality I think is best for a release of this. I am still learning how to edit video and to find a sweet spot in terms of quality and file size.

Notes

This is the video from the performance in its raw format. Thanks to Telepathic Kid for sending over the raw file. This is uncut and the full performance of the recording. Filmed with an iPhone 7+, it actually has great video and the audio is better than source 1 that is already on the archive. There is not much windnoise unlike the actual audience recording that is hosted. This has the full stage shot and for how much it was coming down with rain, there is no raindrops that hit the lens. Pretty great.

My favorite recording of the sources of the Riot Fest set. Taped from the right stack, the audio that night in Chicago was unreal for this stage.

Notes

What can I say? My first NIN show since 2014 and it was NASTY!!!!! Drove from Detroit for the show and back the same night. Got there early to hopefully see DFA but we got stuck in some traffic. Made it in during Ministry and got a spot dead center of the stage. Taped New Order from where I stood, that tape is mediocre at best. Obviously more interested in catching NIN's set. They did not disappoint. The sound was absolutely fantastic at the stage and Branches/Bones is a HEAVY HITTING opener! This was the Panorama Fest set on steroids. The first few songs I was getting thrown around as it got pretty aggressive out there. But I got through it! During "March of the Pigs" some guy grabbed my shoulder (right on one of the mics) and I flipped on him. Turned around and gave him a swift heart punch and yelled, "Don't fucking touch me!" Honestly have no idea how that didn't show up on the tape. Probably due to these beast of Schoeps mics. Should point out, BIG THANKS TO JD for allowing me to borrow his rig for this run of shows (including my Depeche Mode trek). He allowed me to run the same rig for the NIN/Soundgarden 2014 shows I went to."I Can't Give Everything Away" was a real emotional song. Actually teared up during it. Just really powerful. This was also the debut live performance of "The Background World" and it was AMAZING! By the end of these two songs, there are a few spots of wind noise, as it started to pick up. I heard "The Hand That Feeds" and there was still 30 minutes left. I thought we were getting close to the end. HLAH played, then the encore.. It was like a minute long and Trent comes back on stage and says, "fuck it, we're playing some more! and goes into SOMEWHAT FUCKING DAMAGED!!!!!!!!!! My favorite song, I lost it, man. So damn good. That encore kicked so much ass. The show was so good. There are not many better feelings than a concert high. I get it every time I see NIN. I am hoping for a club show on Sunday or Monday! It was really nice to finally meet the other NIN fan site creators from ninhotline, nintourhistory, and ninwiki! It has been a long time coming and it was finally nice to meet them all in person and chat for a few seconds! Listening back to the tape now, I am really happy with the results and stoked to get this kind of quality for the archive. Thanks to all who have helped gather sources and sent them my way. Hope there is more to come from Cali next month and the tour in 2018!

Notes

This soundboard audio was ripped from the yahoo stream, thanks to TheBang. Of course, this is stellar mixing and is obvioulsy a board feed. Ripped in the optiumum quality that it was streamed in. In the broadcast, there was a few hiccups in the stream from Yahoo. So there are 3-4 dropouts. This was not done from the rip.

Notes

This is the 1080p capture of the live stream on Yahoo thanks to TheBang over on ETS. Had some troubles with the initial version that was hosted on the site. This should be resolved now and these versions are the definitive ones. They have chapter markers as well! This is a fantastic broadcast that has some great camera shots and in full HD, it looks great. Both files are similar (mkv and mp4) but thought I'd share both for your specific preference. Should also note that just like in the audio, there are some hiccups in the stream. This is not from the capture but from the actual broadcast source. Big thanks to TheBang for all that he does!

Recoreded in front of the right stack. Another great recording done by Coolerluzi. Another notable recording of his is the Wiltern show from 2009. This is a 16bit/48kHZ recording. This has to be converted to 16/44.1 if you want to burn to a CD.

Notes

Once again, BLG comes through again with a fantastic tape! This time from Hollywood Bowl. Recorded from one of the boxes, dead center, this recording has great stereo separation and crystal clear sound. Want to thank BLG for all he has recorded from this tour and .

Notes

Probably the best recording you will hear from this tour.

Notes

This show was better than the previous show in Chicago! The sound was spectacular here and I definitely was lucky to get a seat that was directly in line with the stack. A few tapers in attendance tonight and it was great to bump into a few of them! Notable things that happened during the performance was during "Terrible Lie" when Trent's guitar was not tuned properly and he launched it into the air. So for most of the song, no power chords were played. Again, I need to thank JD for loaning me his Schoeps mics. They are absolutely fantastic mics and the pick up the sound so well. I am very happy how this tape turned out. Just need to make note that there is about .3 seconds of dropout during "Copy of A" probably due to the cable from the tiny box and also there is a guy that leans into the right mic during "Find My Way" and asks me to move. Other than that, I think this is a great tape.

Notes

This is one of the few shows thus far that have had a different setlist than the tour in terms of arrangement. The NIN road crew calls this the "assault" setlist as it is more heavy hitting. Probably due to the fact that this is the 2nd night at the same venue. Very good recording by Tapeworm, taped in front of the stack.

Notes

The 2nd source from this show to surface. Another fantastic tape done by BT. Taped from the 4th row, right of center. These two shows he used different rigs to test them out. The first night, he used his CA-14 rig, and this show he used his Schoeps MK41 rig. This setlist varied the most out of any of the shows during the NIN/Soundgarden 2014 tour. The road crew calls this the "assault" setlist as it has all the heavy hitting songs in it. Big thanks to BT for sharing his tapes with the archive!

Notes

Add nother fantastic recording from Tapeworm to the list (see Las Vegas 2013 x2, Echoplex 2009 etc etc) Taped FOB about 8 rows back.

Notes

Ian has been taping for many years and honestly, I don't think I have ever heard a bad tape from him. This lives up to the hype of his stellar recording log. I always appreciate the write-ups of each show he records, wheather he likes the band or not. As he states, and I agree, this is probably a definitive document of the NIN 2014 Europe leg. Here are some of his notes of the recording, "The audio document that accompanies these notes is every bit as good as I had hoped. I believe it succeeds in rivalling my recordings of Nick Cave at thesame venue last year. The band were firing on all cylinders, the audiencemostly stayed out of my way and mostly knew when to listen and when to shutup, the PA was predictably good, and the sound engineer had done his job well.If you're looking for a definitive document of Nine Inch Nails live in 2014,this might just be it. I'm far from a connoisseur of the band's live work,however, so you are ultimately the judge."

Notes

Liberated this from a Japanese bootleg site. This is without question the best recording out of the Xavel/New Tattoo recordings from this run in Japan. The aud/iem matrix is exceptional. No click track like in the other recordings. I also think this is the best setlist out of the three shows in Japan. I'd like to give a big thanks to Hyunji C. for helping me get this recording! This also includes the full 20 minute opening set from Alessandro Cortini.

Notes

NOTE:Thanks to TheBang, I have found out this is actually the Jokerman Records source. Also, not every night was covered from each of the bootleg labels noted. What is on the archive now is all that was recorded or released. Liberated this from a Japanese bootleg site. This is also a very good aud/iem matrix recording. You cannot go wrong with any of these that you choose to download off the archive. I'd like to give a big thanks to Hyunji C. for helping me get this recording! This includes about 6 minutes of Alessandro Cortini's opening set.

Notes

Liberated this from a Japanese bootleg site. This recording is ridiculous! One of the best Japanese recordings that I have heard. This is a matrix of an IEM source (I believe TR's) and a very good audience recording. This also rivals a soundboard recording just like Smores' recording from the third night. The recording also has most of Alessandro Cortini's opening set as well! I'd like to give a big thanks to Hyunji C. for helping me get this recording!

Notes

Took over 4 years to get, but we finally have it! Thanks to TheBang for liberating this source! This is the complete show, including 20 minutes of Alessandro Cortini's opening set. A great recording that has now been finally added to the archive!

Notes

Night 2's source from Tapeworm rivals the sound quality of the first night, if not better. Fantastic recording.

Notes

Add this to the massive list of stellar recordings Tapeworm48 has racked up taping Nine Inch Nails. Taped about 50 ft. from the stack, this recording sounds amazing. NIN in a 3,000 person venue... Doesn't get any better.
