AMAZING SHOW!! Just got back...it was my first time seeing them in over ten years.... They played an awesome set...Unfortunately I didn't take down the setlist...but I think it was right around 1 hour and 40 minutes...no real encore, but they took a break for a few minutes so maybe the songs after that may have been considered the encore...anyway, good show...Can't wait to see them again when they come back!

Hay, Trent said we was a "fucking awesome crowd", woohoo! Personally I thought most of the crowd was "fucking lame". How can a mosh pit not break out to Head Like a Hole or Wish?

There was some kind of commotion during the middle of Queen's set...anyone know what that was? A nike shoe got tossed on stage and Josh had fun with that. Said something along the likes of "Who's the dork that this belongs to? I'm gonna piss in this backstage. I wouldn't walk over to the other side of the street to piss on you if you were caught on fire.

The crowd was wicked-the whole floor was a giant mosh pit.

I was on the far left-Jeordie's side. I couldn't see Trent for nearly most of it because of so many tall guys surrounding me. A couple of girls started shit with a few guys over nothing it look like. I felt sorry for the guys trying to defend themselves from the twats out of hell.

I don't remember the order of the set list but I remember no starfuckers and no with teeth.

Trent needs to update his blog, it's been three days, man. Kidding.

Did any spiral members meet the band or anything fun like that?

Just got back and the show was INCREDIBLE!!! They rocked so damn hard. I forget the setlist but it seemed similar to most of their other shows. Highlight of the show was definitely March Of The Pigs, Beside You In Time or Head Like A Hole. The visuals and lights were unbelievable. Everything was so cool. The band seemed really good and Aaron was crazy as always and the drummer seemed to fit in nicely.

Autolux rocked hard as well. I especially liked that last song, that was kick ass.

Queens Of The Stone Age was awesome! The crowd loved them and they seemed very happy. During one of their songs some moron threw their shoe on stage and they stopped the song and Josh continued to mock him for a minute or two, giving him a good "fuck you" then stealing his shoe saying it would give him "somthing to piss in backstage." Then, like nothing had happened, the song contiunued right where it left off.

AMAZING SHOW!!!

I kinda blame the venue. Something about the way the EXcel Energy Center is designed just makes you want to stay seated and not yell. It didn't help that I was in the "club" level, where the sections were only eight or nine rows high though. Everyone was enjoying the show, but no one was yelling, cheering or standing. It was weird. I had much better seats last time at the Target Center (12th row, right in front of the stage).

Notes on the performance:

-Songs from With Teeth sound soooooo much better live than they do on the record, especially "The Line Begins to Blur."

-"Only" didn't work that well as a live song... the bass, synth and drums were cool, but Trent missed about 1/3 of the words.

-There was a really nice cheer when they did the reveal of Bush dancing at some event in the middle of "Right Where It Belongs." I thought the video sequences were generally cool, though they went on a bit too long with the slower songs - should have been interspersed some more.

-The lead singer and lead guitarist of Queens of the Stoneage both seemed pretty sloppy, though their show was enjoyable. Their drummer was badass, and only tripped up on one song. They play ALL of their songs faster live than they do on the record, which just doesn't work for some of them. It'd be nice if they mixed tempo.

-Autolux kinda sucked. You could hear some promise in there, but the vocals were filtered and incomprehensible, and the guitar made a lot of high-pitched screeching/whining noises that just didn't go with the songs.

-The new drummer for NIN really stepped up to the plate, and I think the only song during the entire night where he didn't work out was "Head Like a Hole." There was one repeated part where the way he played it just didn't work for me. But that's nitpicking. He was awesome for the rest of the show.

If anyone managed to record this, or manages to get ahold of this show, I'd love to have it. Even the mid-set by QOTSA.

haha I laughed so hard when that idiot got told off by Josh,I really can't stand when people are disrespectful to bands while they're playing by doing stupid shit like that.

completely amazing.
i didn't expect them to play as long as they did, it was incredible. trent is ferocious on the stage -- unending energy. the band is solid, which is a testament to what great musicians they are, given the drummer situation. i would have paid five times what i did for that show, and i wish i could turn back time to see it all over again. and the images on the screen? it was like a punch in the stomach. amazing. best show i've seen in my 30 years.

I'm trying to remember the set list as best as I can.....I think these were all the songs played but they're not all in the right order.

Pinion
Love is Not Enough
The Line Begins to Blur
March of the Pigs
Terrible Lie
The Frail
The Wretched
Beside You in Time
Closer
Burn
Eraser
Reptile
Right Where it Belongs
Sin
Gave Up
Only
Suck
Hurt
Head Like A Hole
The Hand That Feeds

Wish was in there somewhere......damn those "recency" and "primacy" effects!

I didn't much care for Autolux, though they weren't bad by any means. I'm just not into the whole "let's make as much noise as possible" sort of indie type bands. Within that genre, I would say they are one of the better bands.

QOTSA pleasantly surprised me. To be honest, I hadn't heard any of their songs besides "No One Knows" and now after hearing them play, I can see that "No One Knows" is sort of different than the rest of their stuff. I was impressed by the lead guitarist / singer's playing and singing. He was throwing together quite interesting scales in his solos and I think he would be good player to break down and study. The crowd was pretty into the set. There was a decent sized contingent over on the right side of the stage (from crowd perspective) that was fairly wild during the QOTSA set. They even pulled one of the boards covering the floor and used it to "crowd surf" in the most literal sense of the word. I was expecting big things for NIN, but I think security put the kabosh on things between sets.

Now, of course you guys could care less about the openers.....
The show was very good. It was a bit annoying that the Xcel Energy Center has stupid "no moshing or crowd surfing" rules and whatever it was security said between QOTSA and NIN limited the amount of crowd movement, etc. Bastards! Not to say that the crowd was lame...I think everyone was really into the show, I have to say, I thought the show in Milwaukee in 2000 was better.....more aggressive sound, more crowd involvement, more crunching guitars. I guess that puts this at #2 on my all time best concerts list, ahead of Garbage, Skinny Puppy, and GWAR.

I saw that guy who lost his shoe, at the end in Nin's set, come back and claim it from security.

i think the crowd was really good and was really into the show. from where i was sitting (middle right side of the stage) i could see bodies bouncing up and down in unison during most of the songs, but especially during the anthems, "hand that feeds," "head like a hole," etc.

but i can always live without the drunken frat boys singing along to "hurt" right next to me. but life isn't perfect.

Hehehe. I sang along to a good number of the songs, but I tried to keep my voice quiet enough that it wouldn't bother anyone next to me. Not sure if I succeeded or not.

anyone have any pics from tonight's show?

Tonight is the first night I've ever seen Nine Inch Nails live. And I have to say, it was unbelievable. Maybe I'm just young and naive and impresionable or something. But something about tonight felt really special to me. I've honestly never felt this way about any other event before. It was fucking awesome.

Nine Inch Nails are the greatest band that have ever walked this fucking earth.

Are you kidding? Half the teenage audience was more concerned with taking tiny 150x100 pixel camera phones than enjoying the concert. Someone will be sure to post I lit up blob or two!

Back in my day, a man'd get his ass whooped for checking his email during a concert.

There was a lot of crowd surfing, but nothing that I'd consider a most pit. Not one circle of death to be seen. But maybe mosh pits have changed since the downward spiral tour in '94-95. Back when a mosh was a mosh, not 'jumping up and down'.

I was up high, and clearly saw what looked like a 'circle of death' through all of QOTSA and part of NIN. But it was really just a few people "slam dancing" or whatnot.

This was my first NIN show, and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. So much of what I would say has already been said, so I'll try to keep it original...

First of all, to the lady who spent the whole show flailing around like a fucking idiot: you're a fucking idiot. Next time be more careful so you don't fall over onto my fiancee. Or better yet, stop flailing around.

Anyways, QotSA was awesome, Autolux would've been better had the guitarist not been so obsessed with his distortion pedal. It was good to see "You Know What You Are?" back in the setlist. George of the Jungle (as he should be called) was great on the drums, though I noticed a few foulups. There seemed to be some confusion at the beginning of "Closer", as well as in the middle of "Wish". Nothing show-wrecking, though. The video stuff was so moving and amazing - the "underwater" look of BYIT was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. And did "The Line Begins To Blur" (as well as the first part of March of the Pigs) seem unusually slow?
All in all, unbelievable show and an unforgettable night.

Great show. There was alotta problems keeping shoes on peoples feet but only in the crowd. Josh got one tossed at him and so did poor Jeordie. It hit him in the gut and he never missed a beat. after his part he gave alittle wtf with arms out to the sides. Then he sicked the manager guy who I think used to play on the show OZ. Good setlist. But I really wanna hear the new song, DEEP (just once), and even starfuckers would be nice at this point. The last 4 shows have been too much of the same with maybe a pair of songs flip flop flipped.

The crowd did kind of suck and maybe it was because of the venue policies, I don't know. I could only stay in the pit for half the set because there was too much pushing and not enough dancing or bouncing. I'm never drinking beer before going into the pit; too exhausting.

He opened with my new favorite song: Love Is Not Enough. That made my night.

I just walked in the door myself. It was amazing tonight!

I thought that Josh Homme and the Air Jordan was pure greatness! I also have to commend the bouncers (hired goons) for ensuring our safety and taking care of everyone, making sure we were having fun and not getting too seriously injured.

I will have lots of photos. Hopefully I can have them uploaded by Thursday at the latest.

Great show as always. 10th time seeing them and they never dissapoint.

There was a sound check and it looked like 30 or so people got let in. I was not one of them unfortunately. I think they played 4 songs.

You know what you are?
Starfuckers
The Frail/The Wretched
Love is not enough

Autolux was terrible. I gave them the benefit of the doubt from the last time I saw them, hoping they weren't really that bad. They were. The bassist enjoys too much distortion and feedback. It wouldn't have been so bad without him.

QOTSA was great. Josh always brings the comedy. There was a point in their set that the crowd had removed part of the floor and crowd surfed it to the front. People were standing on it like a surf board and jumping off.

NIN was outstanding. I've never seen MOTP with that much emotion and energy. It was incredible. BYIT was another highlight. The drummer Alex did alright. He seemed a bit off during Reptile still. Jerome was deeply missed during Sin especially. Alex can't play that fast part at the end like Jerome can. It really took away from the song. I was on the rail the whole time until Hurt. I went and got a litho and found some sweet seats that were almost behind the stage. Good spot to see all the destruction at the end of the show. Rob was up in the same area taking pictures and video. I had a blast and can't wait till Thursday in Madison.

Great show... the eraser combo was unbeatable and obviously the main attraction of the show. But until trent and crew really put the live in the concert, playing anything and everything, the setlist will always be somewhat predictable. Not crying, just saying I would have designed the songs around eraser 123 a lot different. But I also understand this is to appeal to more popular NIN tastes. Anyway, it was a great concert and the crowd was respectable.

Highlight of the show: Jeordie getting hit by a show at the beginning of The Wretched. Fucking Classic. Honestly, I saw NIN in Denver last week, they were MUCH better there than at this show. I was kinda dissapointed tonight. Oh well, still enjoyed the hell out of it.


Oh yeah, Trent needs to fire the new drummer. He's good and all, but I just don't like his style compared to that of Freese or Dillion. I miss those 2 guys.

I posted this on another forum i hope you don't mind if I copy and paste it ...I've always loved NIN, but never been a hardcore fan or gone to a show. Anyways my bro had an extra ticket and I went to the show. They weren't great seats but it wasn't bad. Who was the first band autolux? i'll have to check them out, their sound is cool. But to be honest, after queens of the stone age I wasn't very excited to see NIN. The sound kind of sucked and QOTSA didn't seem very energetic. about the shoe incident, what was funny when he mocked the kid he was like "hey guys let's go to nin show with my air jordans" They did a cool version of No One knows though.

But NIN was a COMPLETE 180 from that. They came out fucking ROCKING and tearing it up. I wish I had listened to their new cd a bit more so I'd know more of the songs, but still it was rocking. They kind of stopped, just long enough to fool some people into getting out of their seats but trent came out and played hurt it was incredible. and head like a hole was last i beleive and it rocked. errr wait... hand that feeds was last actually that was awesome too.

overall i'd say the crowd was pretty good and the sound was allright, what pulled it all together and made it work though was just trent's enthusiasm and jumpin' all over the place it got everyone pumped. I can't beleive I almost passed on going to this, NIN really blew me away and it was fantastic.

im pretty lazy too type the entire thing up, but it was awesome. best show ever. lots of pot.

Feel free to leave comments if you like 'em. If you want to use them for whatever reason, just let me know or say "thanks!". I also have the hi-res versions at home and would be willing to email some out if you like.

We were just in front of the soundboard, just a bit to the left. It gave us a good view of everything and wasn't too obnoxious. I think the set list was fantastic and pulled you along on a rollercoaster of sight, sound and emotions.

The screen around the stage was a nice addition and worked well with the imagery and the lights and smoke. When Trent came forward with the mic stand and "broke" the glass - that was COOL.

I really liked this version of BURN. We moved up to the side for SUCK and HURT to get a coule different shots and then went back down in front of the soundboard, this time on the right side for the finale.

This was the fastest 2 1/2 hour show I've been to.

I don't know about you guys, but the staff at Excel was unusually friendly. The merch booth was also very pleasant. Spiral staff were easy to work with as well. As is a NIN show, it was a feast for the emotions and a truly unforgettable experience. Thanks Trent and Co. for a wonderful night.

i thought the staff was pretty lame. this one security chick (me and my buddies know her from a couple concerts ago). she is cool. but our merch booth had a bunch of slow old people working. so me and my 2 buds were waiting in line for at least 5 minutes until they started selling. so that kinda ruined a very good spot on the floor.

grizzlyadam, I commented on your photos on the Spiral boards.

Did anyone record last night's concert, either audio or video? My brother really wants a bootleg of it.

It really was a great concert. I can say that i was a bit nervous to go, being that i am 2 months pregnant. but i bought my ticket before i got pregnant, and im not about to not go. i had really good seats though for my case, there wasnt all that much smoke around me so i was fine.
but, you know how you can feel the beat in the middle of your stomach? that was the worst feeling ever for me. i felt like my insides were being ripped apart by the soundwaves. i was fine as long as i didnt move and kept my arms over my stomach. i was thoroughly disappointed that i couldnt move around as much as i wanted to, but at least i got to go!
the lights were the coolest thing ive ever seen. it was very interesting to watch and now i just like NIN even more now.
also, i thought i liked QOTSA before i came, but now i love them. Josh was hilarious! i enjoyed his humor a lot.
autolux was not very good. i took a bathroom break during them with my best friend , teddy bears 4ever, because i got bored (....and i had to pee). they looked like something that would have played at the Garage (a small venue in Burnsville). They had enough talent to attract an audience, but not enough to be at the Xcel Energy Center.
overall, very wonderfull experience. i would do it again.

I agree with you. It was moving. You never stopped making me even happier, I'm glad that I got to spend the show next to you. Well enough of that.

It was my first time seeing nin live. For the most part they did a good job. I enjoyed standing up and rocking out to the music. I wish I had known some of their songs better, but I had fun anyways.

I had never been to a rock concert in my life. This was a good starter. I think that Autolux could have been better. Queen's was awesome, I really wish I knew more about them. I'm not sure what Josh meat about walking accross the street to piss on someone one fire.

I hope this was not the last rock concert that I ever attend, or nin show for that matter. I was sad to see it end when it was over. Trent recovered nicely when he made a mistake during "Closer."

Jerome's replacement seemed to be having a good time. He went crazy with everyone else. Who could forget that Aaron slammed his guitar down and smashed it at the end of the show.

Hurt was so well done it made me want to cry. I like the way that the enire band except for Trent went off stage. Just him and the keyboard, the rest of the band slowly joined him.

Head like a Hole was a very good way to end this concert. Comparing that it is one of my favorite songs.

I liked the movie footage that they used during the show. It made it that much more interesting. Some of the footage was very interesting and the fact that he sat down to do it, pick out these clips I mean.

speaking of that smashed guitar...well, read on my friends:

ok, here goes with the "extended" report...buckle up.

Left work at 1pm ("oooh, I don't feeeeel so good..." heh heh), drove 3 hours to the venue. Got in line, got into the arena, made our way to the floor. All the Spiral were already there, but me and my buddy Flounder found a nice slot one body deep off the rail, directly in front of where Aaron would be (center-right of the floor).

Doors opened at 6, show didn't start until 7 or so. Personally, I thought Autolux was a very good opener. Something different, certainly, but they kept it brief and I liked what I saw -- I think I will check them out again sometime. The feedback was all from the bass, btw, not guitar.

After Autolux, a fellow ETS member and very nice gal let me slide up onto the rail next to her -- awesome! Thank you! My pal stayed directly behind her, so she got a little bit of protection in return for some rail space. (My hearing is terrible, so please forgive me for missing half of everything you said!)

Before I go on, let me say that the front-line pit people at this show were INCREDIBLE, far and away the nicest group of guys I have ever seen along the rail. They had water, candy, and earplugs for those that needed it. They took care of the people in front and seemed genuinely concerned for everyone's well-being and enjoyment of the show. They didn't let any drunk thug bullies mash their way in and ruin it for everybody else. I tip my cap to some true professionals.

QOTSA was also a lot of fun, I thought. I like their music and enjoyed their set. People have mentioned the Air Jordan thing, which was truly hilarious, but two other happenings from this set MUST be mentioned:

1) Near the end, Josh held up a lighter for a while, and after it was nice and hot he announced to the crowd, "Now I can sufficiently burn my penis." He then stuck the hot metal end into his groin and twisted it around. Dude!

2) During the middle of the set, things on the floor started to heat up a bit. Apparently, people farther back somehow managed to loosen one of the rubber floor panels that covers the floor (it's an ice arena most evenings). These panels are HUGE, mind you...around 6x4 feet, I would think. Anyway, I looked back and here comes one of these panels, held aloft on the crowd! Holy fuck! And not only that, two dudes were dancing on TOP of it! HOLY FUCK!!! Josh said something to the effect of "That was pretty cool right there."

Yeah, it was. I'm just glad I didn't get killed by the thing.

QOTSA finished at about 8:40pm. Curtain came down and we started getting really excited! To this point the crowd had not been too bad, and although the tightness increased somewhat during the break, it was far from unbearable. I was surrounded by a large group of very nice, very considerate people, which made the whole show great. Behind us, Flounder and I had a cushion of about six really cute girls too, which made the tight quarters much more bearable (nothing I like more than being crushed by a fat hot sweaty beefcake lineman, mmm hmmm).

Lights went down finally at about 9:20. I knew that they had to be done by 11pm (venue curfew), so I figured we were in for 100 minutes of NIN goodness. I figured correctly.

They came out and commenced the rock. And it was good.

No, it was fucking awesome! I thought the band was very tight and energetic. I liked the new lineup, and although the drummer still had his cue cards, there were no miscues that I noted. The setlist was a good mix of new and old, hard and soft. Somebody mentioned a problem during "Closer"...this was because Trent had tossed his mic into the audience and didn't have one when the song started. They were working frantically on the floor to get a new one ready but didn't get it to him quite in time. So we missed a few lines, but that was all. A similar thing happened with Aaron's mic earlier in the show.

I have been to NIN shows where Trent was not happy with the audience (9/11/94 at the Fox Theatre) and shows where he was (2/14/95 at Kiel Center, spring 2000 in Madison) -- pretty quickly, I could tell that he was into it. You could see it in his eyes.

(The fact that I could see his eyes that well was very damn cool in and of itself, mind you.)

For the people who said the floor sucked...where the fuck were you? We were bouncing, thrashing, screaming, and throwing a ton of energy up at the stage. So there wasn't any slam dancing? Well thank the fucking lord maybe that retarded trend has finally died.

Anyway, all that collective energy expenditure was worth it, as Trent attacked the mic near the end of the show with a screaming "You guys are a fuckin' AWESOME audience!" Wow! None of those sullen "Thank you's", but a really excited TR! Sweet!

Personally, all that energy expenditure was worth it as well. About 2/3 through the set, Aaron went for a bottle of water. He took a sip and our eyes kind of made contact right at the right moment -- I stuck my arms all the way out and he tossed it right to me! Now usually, I have butterfingers when it comes to this kind of thing, but oh man did I catch it with two vise-grip steel-claw hands. Concert souvenir -- check.

Just a fuckin' water bottle, huh? Wait, it gets BETTER.

For the last few songs, I just completely let go. I knew it was getting near the end so I got both arms out over the rail and was just banging on the cage, screaming, and dancing like crazy. I was having the time of my life and I had a huge shit-eating grin across my face.

During HLAH, the band started tearing the stage up a bit. Trent threw his guitar about 15 feet into the air. Aaron climbed up on Alessandro's keyboards and jumped off, then went and molested his speaker cab, then lifted his guitar high in the air and smashed the fuck out of it! Yes! He started to walk off, then came back and picked up the neck of the guitar. Again, we just kind of made eye contact at just the right moment -- I was already halfway over the rail, with both arms stuck out right at him, and he tossed his broken axe right to me. YES! YES YES YES! FUCK YES!

Oh my god was that awesome! I will post some pics of it when I figure out how. Needless to say, I felt like the coolest kid in school as the lights came up.

My only regret from this show is not having a camera to document the best moments! I am counting on all of you to help me out with that. We need pics! Lots of 'em. I'm sure that the Strib and Pioneer Press will have concert reviews in upcoming papers, as both their concert photographers were there, so be sure to check there as well.

Anybody know who the pretty girl was standing to the far right of the stage during NIN? Somebody's GF, I imagine.

Ok, that's all I have. Thanks for enduring this, hope you got some good tidbits out of it. Best wishes, hope to make it to another show soon!

Nice write-up!

Love the guitar on the tray!!

The Pioneer Press' review said there were just over 10,000 people there...I could've sworn there were more than that...

I agree...look at Grizzly Adam's pictures. He got a couple of great "whole crowd" shots...that place was pretty packed! I figured 12,000 people. 10 grand is nothing to scoff at either, but I thought there were more as well.

jekyllhyde83 wrote:The Pioneer Press' review said there were just over 10,000 people there...I could've sworn there were more than that...

Me too hun.

From what I remember, it seemd almost full up to the club level. The very top section was empty all the way around...I think....

At first I thought the Fragility show was better, but the more I look back at this one, I think this was a better show.

mrstarfucker wrote:So am I the only person that saw Jeordie get hit by a shoe?

Yeah I saw him get hit by the shoe. Why the F... would someone do that? Also towards the end of the set... during reptile I think... a shoe almost hit Trent. Why go to the show if you are going to do that? If I was Trent or Jeordie I would stop the show and kick that person out. I have seen it done before at other concerts. I can't complain one bit that they kept the show moving. It kept my energy levels way up. All in all, great/fantastic show... Can't wait to see them again.

Would someone please post the Pioneer Press review? Here's a link to the Star Tribune's review. Don't forget to e-mail the critic and point out his egregious mistake:

Review: Reznor brings his ageless rage to Xcel

BY ROSS RAIHALA

Pop Music Critic


Some might say that by the time you're 40, it's time to get over it.

That's one of the primary criticisms aimed at Nine Inch Nails' latest disc "With Teeth." Now in his fourth decade on the planet, band leader Trent Reznor seems a bit too long in the tooth to be singing overwrought anthems aimed squarely at the teenage-angst demographic.

Try telling that to the guy in front of 10,432 screaming fans Tuesday night at the Xcel Energy Center.

Having kicked his booze and drug habits — and clearly swapping them for a new addiction to pumping iron — an impossibly robust and lusty Reznor looked and played like a man half his age. Tight black trousers and a matching sleeveless T only focused the attention on his impressive pipes — both his arms and his voice.

Reznor's long been known as a firestorm on stage, and the legend only grows with his penchant for taking five or six years off between tours. Tuesday, during his first Twin Cities gig since 2000, he led a new group of backing musicians through a raging, thoroughly entertaining survey of Nine Inch Nails' career, which kicked off during the first Bush administration (and, with songs like "The Hand That Feeds," makes sure to bash the current one).

One of those band members, drummer Alex Carapetis, was particularly fresh — he's been with the group less than a week, filling in for the ailing Jerome Dillon. Working from an easel-sized cheat sheet off to the side of his kit, Carapetis performed admirably enough, stuttering only a few times, most notably during "Love Is Not Enough," the first vocal track of the evening.

Guitarist Aaron North, a punk-rock kid known for his work in the Icarus Line and the Buddyhead Web site, proved to be an able foil to Reznor, giving the band's filthy classic "Closer" and new single "Only" an added shade of instrumental anarchy. The rest of the evening encompassed the expected hits ("Sin," "March of the Pigs" and "Hurt," a number with new gravitas after Johnny Cash turned it into the last hit of his life) and a few surprises (the rare early-career track "Suck" and "Reptile," an album cut from "The Downward Spiral").

As is his custom, Reznor wrapped up the exhausting, exhilarating evening with the song that made him famous, "Head Like a Hole," and not even a hint of an encore.

Openers Queens of the Stone Age could learn from Nine Inch Nails. Their hour-long set of neo-stoner rock quickly spiraled into drunken self-indulgence. And the Nick Oliveri-sized hole in the group was all the more apparent, with bandleader Josh Homme unable to find a suitably charismatic replacement for Oliveri, the bassist he unceremoniously sacked last year.

Yeah I saw him get hit by the shoe. Why the F... would someone do that? Also towards the end of the set... during reptile I think... a shoe almost hit Trent. Why go to the show if you are going to do that? If I was Trent or Jeordie I would stop the show and kick that person out. I have seen it done before at other concerts. I can't complain one bit that they kept the show moving. It kept my energy levels way up. All in all, great/fantastic show... Can't wait to see them again.

I have to admit, I kinda chuckled when it happened. But he looked pissed off. Rightfully so. But, yeah, I totally agree. Reznor shouldve stopped the show and kicked that person out. Douce bag....

To whoever said they felt sorry for those girls who kept fucking with people, i was one of those guys. The gal decided to dig her nails into my skin so I shoved her off. She did it again so I turned around and said something like, "fucking stop you little bitch." This brought on the half naked man who decided to attack me.

Moral: fuck drunk people at shows. and fuck girls who want to be treated equally but will get men to fight for them.


here are some pictures a friend of mine took.

I think that QOTSA did a good job. Sure Josh made a lot of strage comments. All in all he did a good job. He got hit by a shoe and I agree that that was not alright.

The fact it almost happened once was bad enough, but three times someone almost got hit by a shoe, I agree with whoever said that the people who do things like that should be asked to leave.

I feel almost like I missed out because I was in the seats.I missed a lot of small details like as I've heard Jeordie got hit by a shoe? poor guy! I hate when people do shit like that.Then again if I had been on the floor I was with my best friend and she's really petite,she probably wouldn't have been able to see a thing the entire show,hell I'm not super tall myself so I probably wouldn't have been able to see anything either.Ah well it was a truly amazing show either way,I just wish I had been up closer.I was straight back in section 111 row 17.At least I wasn't way up in club seating.

Hey, this was also my first NIN although I've been at least a casual fan for years. I've been to many shows and NIN is top notch. They really were a power house for the Xcel. One of the funnier moments, and it hasn't been mentioned yet I don't think, was the combinations of boos and cheers as the President was shown on the front of the stage. Personally, I prefer it if musicians and fans leave their politics at the door but it was a great time all the same.

Peace.

First time seeing NIN (first rock concert period actually) and it was a great show, although my seat in the club section was rather crappy at first because the speakers somewhat obstructed my view of parts of the stage. I moved before NIN started and got a decent view. The light show was amazing and the band was pretty energetic. Queen's of the Stone Age were great too, didn't care much for Autolux.
It was a fun night. Next time I think I will pay the extra 8 bucks to get closer.

the NIN "current" page updated today with a nice pic of all of us. If I squint, I can see me and my friend, just above the stack of speakers and the light.

i was next to jeordie the whole time. you totally cannot get the slightest glimpse of me in that picture


ohh i found a Spiral Ticket on the floor. name "Michael Smith". yea, thought i should share that.

3rd NIN show this year, second in the pit, best yet. The crowd seemed way more into it than the chicago show. They actually played You Know What You Are! First time I've heard it live. I thought the pit was just as crazy as ever, though it did seem to slow down a bit in the middle of the set. I'm glad it did though, or I might not have made it the whole show.

I don't care what anyone else says, QOTSA are fucking awesome.

Autolux would have been more enjoyable if they didn't focus on the distortion quite as much. I also would have chosen a few different songs for their set.

I noticed much less opening band heckling than usual, besides the shoe, but that had hilarious consequences.

All in all, best total concert experience ever. Got to St. Paul at 4, started drinking at 5, and took a shuttle to the concert at 6. After the concert, got a shower and drank some more.

I thought I saw myself in the photo, but then I realised that I was probably hidden by the giant speakers.

Finally someone who agrees with me! QOTSA were awesome! No One Knows and Song For The Dead were amazing live!

Just got back to Winnipeg from St. Pauls. I'm exhausted, but its worth it. First NIN show for me. FUCKING AWESOME. Great show. I cant wait to see them here in Winnipeg in a month .

In regards to that Air Jordan g uy, he was crowd serfing when he lost his shoe. i was counting how many times he surfed up to the front, i lost count at 7 lol. He must have done it like 10 times.

At one point during Queens, some guys managed to rip up a piece of the wood covering the ice and threw it up on the crowed and STOOD on the board as they were serfing the crowed. looked pretty cool.

I got the LAST litho for that show. The guy took down the display one for me! i was so happy i got one. Anyway, 1 month till the local show

Yeah, the floor tile getting crowd-surfed was kinda funny, although it did pose a bit of a hazard by exposing the ice. (The Wild are playing there tonight and last I heard, they were tearing the Canucks a new one.)

regarding the mixed reaction of cheers/boos for the images of W. bush, i like to think that the boos were booing w., while the cheers were for trent speaking out against W. however there was a yahoo behind me spouting something about "an eye for an eye," so i guess not everyone can be pleased.
but i sure as hell was.

Qotsa kicked ass, josh ragged on some dude from the crowd and that was funny+awesome. They did really seem to milk their songs a little bit but most of it was pretty awesome. Josh did alot of vocals with out the playing i can't beleive he has such a good voice for all the smoking he does (watch the bonus DVD with the latest album and you'll see what i mean.) I'm glad they played stuff from all their albums though, i think it was 4 songs from the newest, 3 from "songs for the deaf" and the rest from their first two albums. I'm a huge Qotsa fan and loved their set, glad they toured with them because otherwise i would have never got to see them!

As for NIN- what can't you say. The band was just amazing- they sounded really really tight and pretty much perfect. Trent on stage is just a machine, he was all over the place, getting pissed off, going crazy, and it looks like he was having a good time. Alessandro just looked really chill on stage Jeordie White was really mellow as well- he got hit with a shoe half way through the set and he looked pretty pissed. Alex sounded great. The other guitarist, Aaron was just freaking out, during head like a hole he smashed his guitar, during some other songs he was pretty damn active on stage which was cool.

I was really close to the stage, started out on the right, was in the middle for most of it and then the right at the end and the crowd was pretty intense, not like a mosh pit but people where pushing really hard, shoving really hard. I actually got more banged up just in the 'wash' at this show than i did in the pit at slipknot. Everyone was just trying to get closer to the stage, me included but some people where pretty big ass's about it, ignoring people that fell over (which actually happened quite a bit, i was suprised, i was on the ground a few times and that usually doesn't happen)

The set list was everything i was hoping- honestly they could have played anything, this was my first time seeing nin and i've been excited about seeing them ever since that first round of club shows that i couldn't make it too. March of the Pigs, Sin, and Gave Up where highlights but really, the whole thing was The lighting was also really cool, Eraser and TLBTB where awesome, i could hardly make out the video stuff because i was way to close to the screen but i wish i could have seen it, looked really cool even from where i was.

whatever happened to the little synth intro to March of the Pigs?

Just a quick Q. How much did the merch run for at the concert I'm going to sunday's concert in San Antonio and I would just like to know how much to bring I don't wanna get robbed with too much cash.

don't buy anything.

$25-$40 for a tee shirt is a fucking rip off.

Standard tour t-shirts are $30. I only paid $20 for my "Where the fuck were you?" shirt on the last tour, so I felt pretty ripped off. But... dammitt, I wanted a tour shirt, so I bought one anyways. I probably could have saved myself five bucks bucks and bought it online.

So. NIN. For the sixth time. Whee!

I got there at about eight, so I must have missed out on all the super secret Spiral privileges. Whatever. I signed up so I could get pretty much guaranteed tickets to any NIN show I chose, which I got. It’s a fan club, for crying out loud. As they go, this one is pretty fucking good. People need to quit bitching about it, lord alone knows what they were expecting.

So I pick up my ticket from will call – For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen SECRET HOLOFOIL! – which is kinda cool, and headed down to the floor. Queens were, frankly, amazing.. Their show in Southampton, Halloween 2002, is still the best gig I’ve ever been to, so I was expecting good things, and I got them. Despite being pissed off his face, Josh played a great set. The drummer… well, he’s a fucking powerhouse. A Song For The Dead was simply amazing, how he pounded the drums. Trent should have tapped him – Out of the two drummers I saw, he was by far the better. Josh did an a cappella bit towards the end of No One Knows, which proves he can really sing. Admittedly he made a few stupid comments about the shoe, but whatever. Probably the best opener I’ve ever seen.

Then some NIN band came on, I don’t know if you’ve heard of them. Apparently, they didn’t want us to either, seeing as they dropped a screen for the first song. Regardless, they were fucking loud and pretty damn awesome. Alex really did the job well – I have no idea how he’s been able to pick it up so quickly, but he has. The others were pretty much on form as usual. I’m not sure about the new hand clapping thing Jeordie and Trent are trying to do – Alessandro looked faintly embarrassed from where I was standing, and I think Aaron was just looking forward to being able to make sweet love to his amp during Head Like A Hole.

Highlights of the show? Well, Trent messing up his intro to Closer was pretty awesome. Though, to be fair, it’s not like it’s a song he’s played much before. I guess they slammed a backing tape on and went for a beer during Eraser, Right Where It Belongs and Beside You In Time, seeing as how they dropped the screen again. Something happened during Burn, probably, but I was more concerned with fat goth girls screaming/pushing/being fat in my personal space. Also, anyone who thinks it’s fun to get up on someone’s shoulders during a gig needs to GET THE FUCK DOWN before I throw my beer on them.

The light show was something else, especially with the screens and everything. All in all, a pretty fucking good show. I didn’t get to grope Trent, steal Alessandro’s beer or interrogate Aaron, but I’d say it’s probably the second best I’ve ever seen them. Let’s hear it for Nine Inch Nails! Whoo, they’re GOOD!

Benjanin wrote:Great show. There was alotta problems keeping shoes on peoples feet but only in the crowd. Josh got one tossed at him and so did poor Jeordie. It hit him in the gut and he never missed a beat. after his part he gave alittle wtf with arms out to the sides. Then he sicked the manager guy who I think used to play on the show OZ. Good setlist. But I really wanna hear the new song, DEEP (just once), and even starfuckers would be nice at this point. The last 4 shows have been too much of the same with maybe a pair of songs flip flop flipped.

Yeah i was standing next to a guy who claimed he was stealing peoples shoes and throwing them up there... mother fucker. I stepped on his foot.
That was a great show though. Majority of the audience was moshing and squishing like crazy... but still at a respectful level. When someone fell down... everyone would stop to pick them up. I liked that. A lot.
Hey! and I can see my fuckin arm 3 people back from Trent in the MN picture posted on nin.com. Haha... Yeah. I know what my arm looks like. Damnit.

Those jackasses cheering for reasons other than support for Trent speaking out against Bush definitely needed to listen to the context of the song being performed in front of them at the time. . .

i agree. that same drunken yahoo behind me was also grumbling that he didn't come to the show for politics. well pay attention to lyrics once in a while, moron -- sometimes a musician actually has something to say! these are the same guys who only want to hear that "fuck you like an animal" song.

My Litho was $20 and there was another poster that was $10. Shirts ranged from $25-45 and there was a Hoodie for $50


HAS ANYONE FOUND THE MYSPACE.COM VID FOR THE SHOW? I'm pretty sure im in it. i saw the guy with the camera scan past me in the front row after the show.

I like the shirt I bought at the show for $30.00. I'm a girl just in case you haven't picked up on that yet. I got a black shirt that says nineinchnails on it and it has the nin logo on it with its own twist. It has a nail that is nailing both the n's together. I really like it.

It hasn't been made yet - Cleveland's only just gone up.

ok i'm a newb in more ways that 32 but is there a way to save the video once it is posted? i'm piecing together a disc for a friend who couldn't be there. also many thanks to those who posted pics from the show.

I only saw two scalpers. I couldn't believe they just sat there announcing (asking), "Need Tickets?" loudly and police were all over the place.

I noticed a bunch of people were way up on the upper deck. That surprised me, but they seemed to love it.

During the opening acts I mostly stayed out in the walkways people watching and found a nice mix of people. Some I just had to laugh at and others were walking pieces of art. Seen some girl in this God-awful green dress that still impressed me for some odd reason.

When it ended I went past a car right outside the door that had an elderly couple with aw-struck look on their faces waiting for their grand-child. That was worth a smile.

As for the show. It's all been said already

Thanks for posting pictures. I still need to get mine printed. I guess there is a bootleg DVD on eBay or something, but to learn more head over to the bootleg thread...

Fucking awesome show, I can't say much more than what's already been said.

The crowd was nuts. Me and the girl watched Pinion/Love Is Not Enough from the soundboard and once we heard the drums for You Know What You Are? she turned to me with a huge smile and said "I wanna go in."

I love this girl.

Anyway, we stayed in with the crazy ass crowd until she said she was feeling sick and we watched Eraser/RWIB/BYIT from the soundboard again. Then Wish started and we went back into the crowd. It was too good to pass up...the best crowd I've been in. It was crazy, nobody ever stopped moving, but like someone else said...if someone fell, quite literally EVERYONE around them would help them up. Very cool.

Otherwise, the show was spot on and worth the 6 hour drive from Omaha.

EDIT:nevermind

Yup, sounds like a match

As promised, here are my photos from the concert. I apologize for the graininess as I used a disposable camera. Likewise, I cropped and adjusted all of them so that I could get the bouncers out of the shot. Enjoy!

I wanted to add the show was definitely everything I expected and more.

Does anyone out there remember the poor bastard that got knocked out @ in the middle of the pit???

I'd be the crazy SOB screaming at the other people to get the f*** out of the way to let him out... Also, the only bastard dumb enough to wear a suit jacket in a mosh pit.

Sorry to those I offended, but when someone's hurt, you've gotta take care of them.

L8tr.

i bought a litho at the show and i wanted to get a shirt too (the white one with the green thing on the front and the tour dates on back), but i didn't have enough for both. i figured they sold the shirts on merch.com, but of course that one isn't there. now i feel like maybe i should have gotten the shirt... is there somewhere else you can find those?

I hope that this was not the last time that nin will be coming through. I would go again if they did. Because I f****** loved that concert.

I was the kid on your right the whole show. Congrats on the guitar

lucky bastard

what'd the guard say when you caught it? i could see him getting pissed off about something but really couldn't tell.

test_department wrote:what'd the guard say when you caught it? i could see him getting pissed off about something but really couldn't tell.

I was right next to mullins and I heard the bouncer say that he was gonna hang onto the guitar neck and give it to mullins after the crowd started to disperse.

Yup, Leo is correct. Right after I caught it, security came over and took it, but told me I could have it back once the show was over (which it basically was, at that point). For my own safety, I guess. But they were VERY nice about it; as has already been mentioned, they were very nice about everything the whole night through.

Usually at concerts, things like that turn into a huge brawl, much like a fumble pileup in a football game, so I was glad to have somebody come to my aid. Fortunately, the people around me were very kind...plus, I had two hands on that puppy and was braced for the worst.

After the lights came up, they told me to wait around until the crowd thinned out a bit. Eventually, they had me and my friend come around to the side of the stage where they could make a more covert handoff. A couple of the guys shook my hand and wished me luck. I thanked them a bunch and headed for the doors.

I got quite a few looks on my way out, and a guy that found a dollar on the floor tried to trade with me. I politely declined.

The only thing I regret is not asking about what happened to the rest of the guitar...probably ended up in a dumpster, sadly. I was too excited from the whole show to be thinking straight though. Still, no complaints from me.

I'm already working on the display case for it. I will post pics when complete.

Also, if anyone has any pics that show Aaron smashing that guitar, please let me know. I am hoping that the DVD will be panned wide at that point to show the smashing and tossing. I will need proof for when I am old and my kids think that I am full of shit.

Maybe. I was in Section 109, Row 2.

hey guys. i bottlegged the audio from the show with a pair of $100 binaural mics and my dat recorder. unfortunately after i hit record i put the recorder in my pocket and forgot about it. during closer someone must have bumped me and hit the stop button, so i missed about seven or eight songs but i hit record again just before reptile started up. but the shittiest thing is i was too close to the stage so most of the songs except for hurt, suck, and terrible lie are pretty distorted. as far as the show went, they sounded awesome and the video segment during eraser brought me to tears, but i hardly saw any of the band due to too many tall people. plus i got a severe headache and clogged sinuses thanks to the fucking addicted assholes who had to chain smoke in the building before the show. i'm just sensitive to smoke so by the time nin started i was feeling pretty miserable. my girlfriend managed to get up front and snapped a few pics. here's one of them.

Actually, a large chunk of it was thrown out my way (Jeordie's side) and I leaped for it, but I couldn't quite catch it. Got a finger on it though. Then there was a huge group of people fighting over it that I just stayed away from.

Man, I hate it when people gight over things

Ah ha! Good to hear that somebody else got a sweet piece of rock for their nightstand. Sorry to hear that it slipped from your grasp. I was too busy hanging on to my bit to notice what else happened at the end of the show.

Thanks for the tip! Maybe it will show up on ebay someday.

She looked like she wanted to hurt me the entire show. She looked like she needed some more attention. I'm jekyllhyde83's finacee.

Hey this show kicked fucking ass especially because it was on my birthday. My g/f and I went and managed to get about 5 feet from the stage but she was getting sick from all the squeezing so we fell back for right where it belongs. The guy that had found the dollar and tried to trade it found my dollar it came out of my pocket and he picked it up in front of me and i let him have it cause finders keepers. I work in an arcade so i just ended up using some tokens that someone brought to my arcade from chuck e cheeses for bus fare to get home(they work as 20 cents) I was broke so i didnt have any $ to buy smokes before the show and i managed to find a pack of american spirits on the ground nearly full. This was my 3rd NIN show once at the last tour her in MN and once at the tour before that in Nebraska.

My brother smokes american spirits, but didn't lose his or he'd have bitched about it, because they cost a lot. He did see a girl outside smoking the same brand. Maybe they were hers.
anyways, small world

This show did kick a lot of ass. QOTSA and NIN doing one show it does not get much better than that.

did we get skipped? myspace has had cleveland on for a couple days and now all the sudden it's 10-16's show in san antonio... where was the st paul show's clips??

Looks like it but I'm hoping not.

Maybe they weren't filming there. Kind of sucks. I was looking forward to it.

seVen_S wrote:Maybe they weren't filming there. Kind of sucks. I was looking forward to it.

Yes it does.

there was a banner right inside the gate that said that we'd be able to see stuff from "tonight's show" on their site.... sux a bit ... especially since our show had a much better sound system than the san antonio show. people did say they saw some film crews.... if not myspace than .... maybe trent and the boys are planning on another live dvd??? or maybe the myspace people decided not to use ours... that'd suck. of course even if they did post a clip from our show i don't know of a way to save it anyways.

Patience. A few shows have been posted out of order, I'm sure that as long as footage was allowed to be filmed at the venue, it'll be online at some point.

Here's the display case I built for the guitar neck I caught at the St. Paul show. It's not finalized just yet...I might include the waterbottle I caught, and I might also stick another picture on there.

What do you think? I built the frame from oak trim boards. The backer is plywood covered in dark blue velvet...the first time I've ever bought fabric! The pics are printed out on a very nice photo printer we have at work. I stuck two pegs through the back of the board to hold the neck up.

Very "Hard Rock Cafe"-ish I think. Not as cool as the ones they are selling on ebay right now...but definitely not as expensive either!

that's really sweet! you did an awesome job building that display.

Nice work, mullins! I like it a lot!

this show has been posted to dimeadozen

Hey, late post, but I have a lot of videos from this show that are really awesome. Let me know if you want me to post any of them, or PM me.

I requested a bootleg DVD of this show from ItsJustDave and it arrived this week. Looks good, too! The only problem is that the video footage projected during the show can't be seen on the video. I'm guessing it was the angle at which it was filmed.

Yup, I was mostly looking forward to seeing the video show and the black void was a bummer.

Nice to have though.

How' sthe quality of the vid?

anyway to get a copy??

Check your PMs.

if anyone got a copy of the DVD bootleg that was on eBay a while back, i made some artwork for it that you can download in PDF format (just like the With Teeth lyrics poster). if you're interested, you can find it here
