It's May 19th, 2020. We've all be home for over 2 months due to the pandemic wondering when this thing will end, what normalcy felt like, when we'll see our friends/family again. Some of us may check nin.com on that day to see a message from TR titled, "COLD BLACK AND INFINITE AND WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN"
"I WAS JUST REMINDED TODAY MARKS THE TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF WHEN WE MADE YOU SHOW UP IN PERSON FOR THE COLD AND BLACK AND INFINITE TOUR. STRANGE TO THINK ABOUT WITH THE WORLD THE WAY IT IS NOW. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY WE CAN ONCE AGAIN SAFELY BE IN THE SAME SPACE AND SHARE THE EXPERIENCE OF SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS AT EACH OTHER.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, I SUPPOSE I CAN LET YOU KNOW WE HAD A TOUR BOOKED THIS FALL THAT CONTINUED AND EXPANDED COLD AND BLACK AND INFINITE. JEHNNY BETH WAS COMING ALONG WITH US. WE WERE EXCITED. I’M BUMMING MYSELF OUT RIGHT NOW. THE WHAT-COULD-HAVE-BEEN DATES ARE BELOW AND WE HAD SOME MERCH FOR THAT TOUR IN PRODUCTION THAT WE’RE PUTTING IN THE STORE WITH ALL OF NIN’S PROFITS GOING TO LOCAL FOOD BANKS IN THE CITIES WE WERE GOING TO PLAY.
THE CURRENT PLAN IS TO FINISH UP SOME SCORING PROJECTS, WORK ON MY LIMITED PATIENCE SKILLS, DEEP DIVE INTO NEW NIN MATERIAL, AND HOPEFULLY BE PLAYING MUSIC LIVE FOR YOU IN 2021. IN THE MEANTIME… LISTEN TO JEHNNY’S RECORD (COMES OUT JUNE 12), CONTINUE TO LISTEN TO BOWIE, AND DON’T BE TOO HARD ON YOURSELF.
TR 5.19.20"
By the looks of it (like many of you too) I'd probably hit half these shows and I already starting to pretend to do logistics for each show and how I'd make it work (ha). Then reality hit and I really didn't know when I would see another concert again. Scrolling past the dates, there was a small text after the image of, "IF YOU’RE FEELING NOSTALGIC, CHECK OUT THIS INCREDIBLE FAN-MADE FULL LENGTH CONCERT FILM" - With link to said video and then TR signing off with "PS - HOW IN THE FUCK DID YOU PULL THIS OFF?"
Videotape released this a few months prior and I enjoyed watching it then. But to get the seal of approval from TR, that is pretty special! Taking 39 video angles from across the 2018 Cold and Black and Infinite Tour, as well as the stellar audio recording done by ToolDVN during the run in NOLA. It became a good representation of the tour. With such a good representation, TR scrapped all the footage they had gathered from the 2018 tour as this is "EXACTLY" how he wanted it portrayed.
Below are two audio versions for download. One is what comes from the video mix and is longer. The other is a standalone audio mix that is more seamless called, "Celebration of Ignorance" that will fit on to one CD. If you still like to do that. Also below is the full video release for download. You can watch it on YouTube after the jump, as well. Enjoy.
