I don't believe there was a single song from The Fragile played tonight.

Still a very nice set list -- Something I Can Never Have and Sin make an appearance.

I'll let the experts break it down, but the energy was high and Trent looked and sounded great.

Rough setlist off the top of my head (not in order):
head like a hole
every day is exactly the same
the collector
the hand that feeds
burn
love is not enough
getting smaller
home
reptile
hurt
closer
march of the pigs
the line begins to blur

I'm missing some

I don't remember anything off the Fragile either...but as awesome as last night was, tonight was even more incredible. Burn two nights in a row, Every Day is Exaclty the Same for the first time, and Something I Can Never Have....couldn't have asked for a better setlist.

I couldn't believe they played Something I Can Never Have (with Jeordie on keyboards)!!!! Has that been played on this tour at all? I know it wasn't at any of the shows I've been to so far and I dont recall seeing it on any other set lists. And Burn again tonight, too....yeah, I agree that even though last night was great, tonight was even better!

Anyone notice Trent's hand was bleeding? Dunno what he did or when he did it but there was quite alot of blood for awhile. And Aaron, that crazy mofo, he took a dive right into the audience at the end of the show.

Wish
sin

march of the pigs
something I can never have (order gets fuzzy now)
terrible lie
reptile
the line begins to blur
the hand that feeds
getting smaller(i think)
suck
hurt
burn
love is not enough
every day is exactly the same
gave up
closer
head like a hole

My order is all fucked up but I think thats all the songs.(did they play home?)
no songs from the fragile which pissed me of a bit because they didn't play the big comedown at either show. Great energy it seemed to go a lot faster than yesterday. no Jokes though

. It was the heavyest opening I've ever expeienced at a NIN show(6).

edit:
The wish opening surprised the hell out of me and I don't think I took a breath for the first two songs because the crowd crushed to the front so hard. Really intense from start to finish with just Something I can never have and Hurt to catch you breath. Did Burn seem a little more techno-ish today to anyone else?

Dresden dolls were great again and I think the third song they played was different from last night though I dont know the names of any of them. Some asshole threw a cup of ice at the stage from the exact same spot as last night.

I just realized I was standing in line behind Aiyla for like an hour and didn't know it.(overheard something about a lost fedora)

Not a single song from the Fragile - it's like that article - With_Teeth was the album that should have been released after Downward Spiral (Not that I agree....)

Only got a moment cause my girlfriend told me I have to shower! I don't even know where to begin. I thought last night would be 'THE' show being release date and everything. Tonight blew the fuck out of last night! Came out hard with Wish, spiced it up with Something I Can Never I Have (I kept telling everyone 'I can't wait to tell the peeps on the board, they're going to flip!'), and Everyday Is Exactly The Same. Thanks to noir, we got good seats on the side with a perfect view, and even made it to the floor, about the same place I was at the beginning of yesterday's show (Yesterday's review), for a couple of songs (that's why I gotta take a shower).

Here's my poor attempt at set list (definitely not in order):
Wish
The Line Begins To Blur
Hurt
Reptile
Something I Can Never Have
Terrible Lie
Head Like A Hole
The Hand That Feeds
Everyday Is Exactly The Same
Home
Sin
The Collector
Love Is Not Enough

I know there was more, but yeah... now's not a good time

I didn't realize he didn't play anything from The Fragile. Definitely a 'Hard Core' concert though.

Fucking amazing!

Yes -
It seemed like they listened to every single comment and did "the perfect set" - no witha-teetha. If only they could get "Only".....my buddy was hoping, but now that he's done something completely different, they might do it in a future one.

Thu May 05, 2005 6:32 am · #342711

I think Roo's setlist is correct and in order. What was up with the beginning of The Line Begins To Blur? Did Trent mess up or were there technical difficulties? Tonight's show was excellent, of course. In comparison to yesterday, I think it was a better show. The whole band was a lot looser and well, crazier. I kinda wish I had waited all day today instead of yesterday, just to be up close for Something I Can Never Have. But then I wouldn't have gotten to have my hands all over Trent, since he didn't attempt to stagedive this time (smart move). But Aaron did! He backed up a bit and got a running start! I was up in the VIP lounge and could even see it from there! Jeordie kinda cracks me up... he's so morose and always has this bored look on his face. Has anyone else noticed this? Like if you videotaped only his face while he was playing and asked someone "What is this man doing?" They'd probably think he was doing the dishes or something. Anyway, I actually saw him jump around a little bit tonight, so rock on.

I did see a bunch of freaky stuff going on with crazed concertgoers and security though... seems like the energy level was just so intense everywhere some people just lost control of themselves.
So anyway, I guess that's all. All in all, awesome. Great, GREAT show. If you read this and your going to an upcoming show, I highly recommend going both nights. I would've been pissed if I missed tonight's show.

Holy crap, that's a great setlist. Even though there's no Fragile material, the inclusion of EDIETS and SICNH is very awesome. Opening with Wish? That's killer.

Trent was in fucking fine form. His voice was amazing. All my expectations were exceeded and then some.

This was a very abnormal show. I know that HLAH has been the closer as of late, but I'd think Hurt would be in the final two.

There were some problems. TLBTB was fucked from the beginning (started on the second verse and dropped off), but he picked himself up nicely.

Three things of definite note: Everyday is Exactly the Same, Something I can Never Have, and Sin. The first experienced its maiden voyage live, and really kicked some ass (although some of the nuances of the recording didn't quite make it to the live experience). The second is obvious, as to my knowledge it hasn't been played in 10 fucking years!

and Sin was a rare find.

It was a great experience.

I didn't get a chance to post after the show on the 3rd, so I'll do one for tonight (last night, whatever).
Got there about 2:15 (about the same time I did on the 3rd) and the line wasn't too bad. Company wasn't as good as it was on the 3rd until LunaReptile and his girl came along and kept me company.
After getting in, we grabbed some barstools quickly over on the side and up close. The third beat the shit out of me too much to try it again. So it was nice to be able to sit up at the barstool for a while but my friend (who doesn't even like NIN) leaned over and said he was heading to the floor. So we went down to the floor and got up as far as we could without pushing people out of our way. It was a much easier crowd towards the back as opposed to so close the night before. I don't remember the setlist. I suck with that stuff but thankfully others here have provided. Anyway, tonight's show was so full of energy. The band, the crowd, everybody - just so much energy in that place that you couldn't help but be unbearably excited just being in the same room.

I really enjoyed the Dresden Dolls. Their set wasn't as intense as on the third but I managed to partake in their meet and greet tonight. Also, due to the fact that we had barstool seats, I was able to pick up a couple lithographs to replace my beat to shit one from the night prior. Oh yeah, and Amanda gave me a kiss on the cheek

NIN's set was much more energetic than the night before, however it was a little sloppy. There were a few more fuckups here and there which are fine for a live show, but were fairly noticeable. I still greatly enjoyed the show though. Had an absolute blast. Met some great people these shows.

After the show I went out to the tour bus area, well knowning that the band would not come out as they had a very long drive ahead of them, but I had nothing better to do so I figured I'd wait out there on the off chance that they emerged. Naturally, they didn't, but you get to meet some really cool people back there. Tonight I talked with a couple of the crew guys for a while and they were very nice. The night before it was cool to meet Leo...LunaReptile...where's my pic?!

I'll quit yacking at this point. It's just so hard to think it's over...for now.

pretty sure Roo has the setlist perfect. no collector.

that shit kicked my ass i called in sick to work today

I got there right around 845, walked down to stage right and knew when the first song dropped i'd be front and center ... my god was I right. they had a small piece of beside you in time playing as a recording with some spoken words behind it ... and all of a sudden wish busts in. the crowd surged and the strobes threatened to blind me.

I thought it was funny more than anything, and the song still rocked, but yea reznor totally missed his cue for TLBTB, then came in with the wrong words, stopped singing, and so they jammed out until the first chorus. np.

Also in the sick ass closer / only time mashup he kinda munged the lyrics (not as bad as the reno recording) but it was still among the sickest things i've seen.

I actually would have liked to hear more new shit, 'only' was a pipe dream but i was looking forward to awitha teetha and collector .. and maybe you know who you are. EDIETS was great, very well preformed and totally had that extra ooph when hearing it live. love is not enough as well. THTF .. well that was amazing synth work was dope.

suck, burn and motp were the hardest things i've ever seen and almost killed people.

um yea it was a good fucking show, I came out with a saturated shirt, beaten body and sore legs but it was worth it.

Tracking the setlists for the shows so far makes you realize that going to multiple shows is a very good idea.

I thought Sin was dead and buried. Something I Can Never Have?
Huh? Could Happiness in Slavery be far behind? And then Last?
Down In It? TPD?

Better start looking for tickets to more shows.

Opening with Wish????????????????????

Better stretch during the Dresden Dolls so you are ready.

Fucking amazing show. Had a spot at the barrier in front of jeordie. Had to ask to get pulled out after hurt, though. Too hot & squishy, and I was about to pass out. I've never had to get pulled out before, so I'm blaming it on not drinking enough water during the day, and the altitude (since I live at sea level).

Way too many fucking crowd surfers. The security guys were great about warning us that they were coming. Great about giving us water too.

I'm pretty sure that the blood was from a cut that trent got on the back of his hand, then it kept getting on his face as well.

I shot a disposable camera, so if the pictures turn out, I'll post them (not until next week after I get back to l.a.).

If I died now, my life would be complete.

most amazing show i've ever seen in my entire life, i saw last night. Nine Inch Nails will be talked about for years to come in the "You should have been there" sense. I was euphoric the entire show.

When the music and stage lights came on, I just about broke down with excitement in tears. I have been wanting to see NIN for 5 years. They helped make me who I am today and get me through one of the roughest parts of my life and they surpassed all expectations last night. They played almost all my favorites and a lot of the good ones off the lastest release. I would have liked to have heard "Happiness in Slavery" and also "Into the Void" and "We're in This Together now." I think it was better this way because I was with my boyfriend and he hasn't heard anything past The Downward Spiral and is so old school Nails (saw them when they were nothing and opened for Jesus and Mary Chain, and also on the Burn tour).

I wish I would have seen them both nights, but from other NIN goers, this night seemed to have been the highlight of the 2, so I am glad I went to this one. I will never forget sitting in the back balcony at the Fillmore with the only person who really matters to me and being in awe of Nine Inch Nails. It is definitely the BEST show I have ever been to in my life and I got the t-shrit! This was a moment in time I will remember forever.

Thanks for the complete and in order setlist!!!

Denverdoll, you were in the back balcony too? Where about were you sitting. That's where my wife and I sat both nights. The 2nd night was better than the 1st. I think part of the problem on 5/3 was the crowd was a bit tame. Maybe its because it was record release night so I'm sure there were a lot of "see and be seen" types that were most likely comp'd. Also, I think the sound was better at the 2nd gig and louder as well. My boss told me to take the day off after we spoke on the phone. I'm too hoarse to be going on sales calls today. HAHAHAHA

If you are looking at the stage I was sitting on the far right, right off the floor, by the door. my boyfriend had blue hair, and i have bleached blonde. there is a photo of us up in the first night Denver Tour Journal.

Jesus fuck on ecstasy! I feel like i've died and gone to heaven if there is one! 2 nights of Nails!

Got there around 3 PM, hooked up with "repeating in my Head" and we went to the center front about 4 -5 peeps from the rail. It was just insane when they opened with Wish, i thought that they played Something I can Never Have 2nd, but my short term memory is so fucked i can never remember the order of the songs. Whoa, there were some really gorgeous guys next to me on both nights!

Seemed like they played March of the Pigs 3rd, i dunno. I'd been feeling nauseous from the last night from literally having my guts squished out of me, shit i couldn't even fucking walk straight after that show...i think i baled after 5 songs even though it was awesome being so close to Trent, i still need my body not to be one big fucking bruise. good move though so i watched from the left side and that just rocked!

Sin was just amazing, and when Trent starting singing "everyday is exactly the same" i sang every word along - ohhh this made me soooooo happy that they played this song, YES!

Aaron is one hot guitarist, I love that dude! Nice stage dive! YOU ROCK!!!!

Everyone sang Hurt again, so amazing and even in key for the most part and with feeling.

my neck isn't working properly, my throat is hoarse, and i still have appointments all day.

got decent sound and so-so video of two thirds of the show before security converged on us and we had to slip away and regroup. nothing important missed. as soon as I get my shit together and get the audio fixed they'll both go up ... somewhere.

and props to the co-fans that formed a protective cordon around us, kept tabs on security movements, and bought us drinks, you people FUCKING rule.

I'd have to agree with just about everyone who went to this show. Sin, fuck. The one i'd been waiting for the entire tour. They did play EDIETS and i wasn't impressed, so i ran for a cold beer during that song. I was surprised to hear .. The hand that feeds up in the front of the set list, from then on out I knew the rest of the songs were gonna be the shizzz. Fuckin my new favorite song is definitely REPTILE....underneath my skin. Sick Sick Sick. Suck Suck Suck was badass..very heavy. Hurt was Hurt, ans something i can never have was pretty surprising. Fuckin they just blew everyone apart when they came out with Wish...fuck i was at the beer stand and i just dropped one beer and flat out knocked people over getting up to the front. Wish was fuckin Badass aswell. Sorry you guys couldn't have seen this set.

I was in the 2nd row to the right of the stage, almost directly in front of Aaron North (what a cutie he is!) and had a great view of Trent the whole time.

after the Dresden Dolls played and the roadies and Leo were setting up for NIN I yelled "Hi Leo!" and he looked up (rather surprized) and sort of smiled and waved at me, before going back to work with the wires and stuff. so I have now been officially acknowledged by Leo!! *is not worthy*

then NIN took the stage and it fucking blew my mind. I don't have WT yet, but does anyone know what that bit was that played right before they were coming out, after the lights went out? it sounded like a man with a deep voice from a sci-fi movie overlayed on the music from that first teaser on nin.com. I was completely sober, btw, and would bet money that this actually happened, after the lights dimmed.

I did notice Trent bleeding all over the place, first it looked like he scraped his cheek on something and bled a little and then his nose started bleeding (most likely from the altitude) for about 4 songs or so and he kept trying to wipe it off. he was fucking amazing though; the setlist was perfect and he looked and sounded awesome. I about died when they started playing Every Day. I had really wanted them to, but I didn't think it would happen since they hadn't previously played it at other shows.

I'll also add that I got thoroughly drenched by Trent's water bottle, after he bit the lid off and took a drink. it felt great, being severely dehydrated from standing so close to the front. he also looked in my general direction during MOTP... I'll pretend we made eye contact.

Aaron's stage dive at the end was awesome, then a few minutes after the guys left the stage and the lights came back on, Rob came out and took a few pictures of us. (why is it that many of the guys involved with NIN are so incredibly good-looking?!) who knows, maybe we'll show up on nin.com sometime.

overall it was great, my expectations were exceeded. definitely worth the arm and leg I paid the scalpers to get tickets.

Fri May 06, 2005 2:56 am · #344112

Fucking.WOW. This was such an amazing show. Aside from the small likelihood of ever meeting Trent himself, this will most likely go down as my ultimate NIN experience. My sister and I got in line around 4 or so and were about 200 people back. About 20 minutes before the doors opened, one of the roadies came to talk to a couple of people near us who had been to last night's show and I had the honor of taking a picture of them all together.

That was pretty neat, and I couldn't help but admire Roadie's awesome digital camera *insert techygeek smiley here* He was a very cool guy.

The Dresden Dolls definitely surpassed my expectations. Man, do they know how to play. I was impressed with them both. Some of the songs seemed long, but they were very well-played, so no complaints.

Just before Trent & Co. came out, some (VERY) drunk idiot was trying to push himself and his girlfriend (who looked like she was passing out) to the front. Naturally, this pissed a lot of people off and security eventually removed the prick. Good riddance.

The setlist did include The Collector, as I recall. I remember the song being played, so if it really wasn't, I must've been around even more pot than I was aware of. hehe. For Wish and Sin, were were smack in the middle of the mosh pit. I have the bruises and sore muscles to prove it.

It was fun for awhile, but since my sister and I are both so damn short, it was harder than hell to see what was happening onstage. We were separated in the midst of the chaos, and when I couldn't find her after Sin, I figured that she had backed off and I decided to do the same thing. I went a few rows back and got a great view of Trent for the rest of the show and rocked out with the girl standing next to me, who was just as excited as I was to be there and knew the words to every song, just as I did. We would occasionally look at each other in a "hell yeah!" expression just after we would both chant some some set of lyrics that (seemingly) no one else knew completely. That was too much fun.

Overall, what a killer of a show. Awesome fucking setlist. I don't recall any tracks from The Fragile, either, which occurred to me on the drive home. The band sounded incedible. Trent definitely looks good; he wore a black tank top that showed off his buff arms.

Aaron must have calmed down in comparison to previous shows, because I didn't see him pulling any crazy stunts prior to the stage dive at the end. Hell fucking yeah.

We met some very cool people before and during the show, which was a bonus to an experience that belongs at the very top of my list of "bitchin' happenings of 2005."

The only downside to something this cool is The Big Comedown, if you will. I am still on such a euphoric high but at the same time feel exhausted, slowing down but with way too much adrenaline still running through me. Coming home and returning to mundane life feels strange after something like this, but it had to happen sometime.

the light show kicked ass. opening with Wish was cool. Stood in line since 2:30pm, was 64th person in line and got a seat inside on the left side, in front of the bar. The dresnan dolls kicked ass with war pigs. On a scale of one to ten, ten best, they were an 8.

then sitting there with Sin playing was nice considering this was my first nin concert. The sound reverberating when The line begins to blur was going was all that you folks that post here said that it would be, high quality and stimulating. then it was time to MARCH, so i MArched down and got into a mosh pit, and got thrown around and went apeshit with glee as Trent slowed down the end of MOTP, "And everything is all right." YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
stood and sang along to Something I Can never have while there was a lull in the crowd on the floor and was reminsent and pumped when the Hand that feeds played, was moving a little with the crowd then terrible lie came along. Coincidentaly, as Closer played I was moving closer to the front middle and saw my rock idol as close as i ever have , was very congested and hot but i was to pumped to care. then i went back to my seat as home started, Was sitting when Every day is exactly the same was played, and trent said this was the first time it was played live, i believe. MY favorite from the new album. Burn was loud as hell but good, and Reptile light show kicked ass, my favorite show song. Then Love is not enough. They played six new songs last night, and i have looked at set lists for past shows which had less, so i felt tickled shitless!!! Suck then Gave up, Trent was upbeat and really jamming, i liked the "Give it to me, and I'll fuck it away" line. had to sing along and get my lighter out as the keyboard was moved to the center of the stage for Hurt, and yes, everybody was as one singing as it played it was sublime and

then Getting smaller and lastly Head like a Hole... and someone at the end of the song jumped from the right side of the stage and landed on the floor, i think... loud and intense, severely impressed. and i got a shirt.

I got to the Fillmore around noon and ended up behind OGDoughnut and we listened to rare NIN/chatted/whatever for a couple hours. I'd planned on finding Desecrated_1 again and such, so I moved back a bit in line and we talked till the show started.

Opening with "Wish"?!?!? O...M....G that was a beautiful moment, and horrifyingly painful 5 feet from the rail center stage. The setlist was awesome but I'm gonna hafta say it was very heavy for the 2-nighters. "Something I Can Never Have" was totally unexpected and absolutely perfect. There was something weirdly..."right" about hearing it while tangled in an emotional mass of humanity. It felt more like "We're In This Together".

D_1 and I were both a bit under the weather and I bailed her and then jumped out myself at the beggining of THTF. The crowd was so packed in that it took an extra 30 seconds to get pulled out, even way at the front, when I grabbed the security guy's hand. It took all our might to pry me out, and sorry to anyone who got smashed during the first 2 minutes of "The Hand That Feeds".

Between this and going back in again, mndtrp bought me a rum and coke, after having already given me one earlier while I was in line. May I reccomend not letting me ever mix my own drink again...that thing was like...whoa, don't get near it with an ignition source. Thanks a ton, man.

The rest of the set was even better than the night before. "getting smaller", "every day is exactly the same", and "reptile" were a few highlights. The first night, I was a bit preoccupied trying to survive, and didn't get to really even hear "Hurt". The second night, I really got to hear it. And I cried my eyes out.

Thanks, Trent.

and nice meeting you, OGDoughnut, NINman, LunaReptile, mndtrp, and Desecrated_1.

It was amazing to watch the show and see how much the crowd loves Trent. I was up near the frontish left area, I don't think I could ever be brave enough to mosh.

We got there about 6:30pm and were near the back of the line, but it was nice weather and there were a lot of interesting fashion ensembles to view.

When we got in, we bought t-shirts and although it is not as thick as my Fragile T-shirt, it is soft and I am wearing it now to sleep in. By the way, I thought the access update about the larger sizes of t-shirt was extremely nice. Some people can't sleep in an extra large.

I got a diet coke and a nice friendly gentleman near my location offered to share his drugs, but I declined. I saw Trent fall, but I thought he was being kind of puppy playful (like in the closure video) but now I think maybe he got hurt. It might have been a nose bleed, I had one in the hotel before leaving so I can believe that too.

I would like to thank Trent for wearing the tank top. Damn, I've always said I would rather see Trent's shoulders than Maynard's entire torso, but
muscles and sweaty muscles at that are wonderfully nice to look at for nearly two hours.

definitely worth the trip, he sounded great. I think his microphone cut out for the first line of The Line Begins to Blur. I enjoyed all the energy but when he came out the temperature of the hall went up about 10 degrees from the people moving, I swear. I couldn't see Alessandro at all from where I was but the other guys all looked like they were working hard. Aaron looked kind of like he wanted to be more energetic but was holding it in. I think the set list was perfect, although I wouldn't have minded hearing And All That Could Have Been.

The guy works hard to deliver an exceptional show and it was better than any other concert I have been to.

ps. I really liked the Dresden Dolls and I don't understand the people who posted that they sucked. I am going to buy their CD now. I especially enjoyed (I think it is called) Kiss Me Mister.

Cosmic Social Worker - It is called "Missed Me" and it is a great song. I will say this though, it's hard going from listening to them live back to listening to the album. Brian (the drummer)'s antics made the performance that much more entertaining. My friend mentioned he thought it was a bit much but understood more once I explained that Brian used to be a street performer (a mime I believe, somebody please correct me if I'm off).

I had a question for those of you lucky enough (or rude enough, depending) to be up against the rail. Is it worse or better than being about five feet back? I Just know that I was crushed, couldn't really breathe, couldn't really see and was constantly fighting to not be crushed. Is it any better against the rail?

besideyouintime and repeating_in_my_head: I just wanted to say that you both provided excellent and well written summaries of the show. Thank you both. My memory sucks and I'm horrible at writing so I rely on people like you to recollect past experiences for me

One last thing. I briefly met (sort of) somebody from ETS while waiting in line with LunaReptile on 5/03 and I'm just curious as to who it was. Might have been repeating_in_my_head but I don't recall. I was wearing a black AT&T shirt if that helps at all, heh.

Hah. I was sitting near you. I would have been on your left. Probably 4 feet away and one row back. I was with my sister, who was 8 months pregnant, so we took it pretty easy. That, and I'm generally a pretty .. 'sedated' guy.

I drove about 7 hours from Rapid City, South Dakota to see them, through fucking rural Wyoming, too. Lots of fuckups to get here, lots of money, but well worth it. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Yeah, I think it's better against the rail, at least there's more air to breath with no one in front of you and it doesn't get as hot as quickly. Also you've got something to brace yourself against when people start pushing as well as something to grab onto to be able to hold your spot. However -- and this is a big "however" -- I always go for the SIDE of the stage where things are a little less intense anyway and escape is relatively simple if you need to get out. You couldn't pay me enough to go front and center, against the rail or not.

I think it's better to be a bit back, especially front and center. I was against the rail Tuesday for six songs, and I have horrific black-and-blue bruises on my hips, ribs, and arms. I even have broken blood vessels on my right hip.

Plus you are constantly having to duck and avoid the crowd surfers as security pulls them over your head. At least when your back a bit you have other bodies to get mashed against. Although you can lose your footing easily. I later though that maybe if I had worn a vest or some sort of padded torso suit I would have been set.

Fri May 06, 2005 3:49 pm · #344630

I've hardly ever come away bruised from being on the rail, but as I said, I stay off to the side where the crowd is a bit less frenzied. Sometimes, though, I come away with a very sore back as sometimes standing for long periods of time aggravates a back injury I sustained quite a number of years ago.

wow. fucking amazing. i'm still 'glowing' (for lack of better a word) 2 days later. by far the best show of my life, and possibly the coolest thing i've ever seen in my life. i went with my room mate and i lost track of him around closer and after the show i met him at the meeting place we had prearranged. he told me he had a seizure it was so intense!

did anyone else see aron fall near the end of sin? he got pissed and chucked his mic when he got up, and his guitar was all fucked up. i think this is the main reason TLBTB was so messed up. also, the acoustics were absolutely perfect, imo, for both bands. i didn't know the DD were that awesome either. i have one of their cds and enjoy it, but they are something else live.

after every day, he said something along the lines of 'that was the first time we played that song live, maybe the last.' SICNH was great to hear, one of the last i expected to hear too. reptile was my favorite part of the concert, trent was dead on with the vocals and held nothing back. this experience was way too cool, thank you so much trent and co.

I'm not going to bother commenting (much) on your obsession with what NIN fans are supposed to look like. But these fans certainly didn't just stop by to hear soundcheck or that fuck you like an animal song. These were the people who got to the Fillmore before 6AM. I think that speaks more to their "worthiness" as NIN fans than many other things you might use to measure it.

Or maybe you're just trying to be funny and I should ignore you...

Hey NINMan I met you when you were taking pictures of Leo by the bus. I'm the girl that told you I have been a lurker on this board for a while.

I was by that asshole that was pushing everyone at the front. He and his girlfriend were behind me in line and they decided my boyfriend and I were there friends. They seemed pretty cool at first, but inside the guy was a total dick. After he got kicked out I had to talk to his crying girlfriend (she was pretty cool). Once he showed back up we were out of there. I didn’t want to be anywhere near them. So I have no idea what happened after that. I am sure they got kicked out again.

Anyway, I thought the show kicked ass. It was my first NIN show and I can’t wait until the fall for the next round of touring.

Whether I agree with every fans' fashion sense or not, everybody in line was incredibly cool. It's extremely shallow to let something like clothing get in the way of you getting to know people while waiting in line and having a good time. It's simply one of the most enjoyable part of going to a show like this....at least that's my opinion.

I was pretty out of it, but it seemed that Closer was slowed down and had a funkier beat. Does anyone else seem to agree?

Thanks to the two individuals who were gracious enough to pick me off the floor after I passed out, and bring me back to the drinking fountain to revive me. Seriously, lifesavers and very much appreciated.

Given the fact that I'm f#@*ING PISSED OFF beyond belief for the comments made about the fans in the picture listening to the soundcheck, I'm going to try to be civil and control my anger while writing. First off, the three people on the far left of the picture closest to the door are my best friends in the whole world (one whom I'm engaged to). And for your information, no, they did not just come from a comic book or anime convention just to hear closer (oh...i'm sorry...let me dumb it down for you...you probably really only know it as the F$@# you like an animal song). They drove countless F@#KING sleepless hours overnight from Tulsa to see a band that they have been waiting to see for 10 F@#KING YEARS (we NIN fans in Oklahoma are not as lucky as some to get to see our favorite band play in our own state). As for being bad looking, (I'M REALLY TRYING HARD TO CONTROL MY ANGER NOW)you probably wouldn't look your best yourself if you had actually had to sleep on the F$@KING SIDEWALK because you had arrived in line at F#@KING 5 o'clock in the morning and had not slept at all and would not for anything because you love the band so much want to leave your place in line even if you were F$#KING starving. You must be an immortal being or someone who never can get dirty. These people are diehard fans (yourself most likely far from being one), owning every halo that has ever existed, including imports, and everything else Trent has made for his fans. They NO f#@KING DOUBT LOVE nine inch nails more than you could even imagine. It's people like you that humanity needs pity.
So go back to your room in your mom's house and listen to Good Charlotte you prick.

[ to all the other members of this forum, and those kind enough to defend those in the picture, THANK YOU and i'm very sorry for getting mad and disturbing your forum]

And now I'm sick. Was it worth it for being up front for probably the best show yet? Hell yes!

Here are two pictures from my phone, won't get my film pictures back until Monday:

Fillmore sign
Listening to sound check
thats the kind of crowd a nine inch nails show attracts? christ....i dont know if i should go, now. ugly that bad in such strong dosages may be contagious. what are they thinking? if only the rest of the world were as beautiful as i. seriously, did those guys just leave a comic book and anime convention/d&d tournament and think "huhhhhhhh snort snort nine inch nailsssssssssh letsh go have a look sheee snort snort shoundcheck mmmmmmmmmmm maybe they'll play that %@*# (lolz) you like an ughhhhh animal song snort snort" while cultivating a fine army of facial blemishes? humanity upsets me.

Here are my pictures, finally, better late than never? (it was one of those weeks...)

Disposable camera, too many security and lighting people in the way, so they're not great, but...whatever....

crappy disposable photos

Anyone looking for a good frame job of your Denver litho, check out Avalon Art & Framing (Bowles & Platte Canyon). It's a small mom and pop like store, and they do a REALLY good job. Kinda pricey ($90-$120) depending on what you get (i.e. I got expensive glass that protects from UV fading), but they look fucking sweet! PM me with your e-mail address if you'd like to see pics, as I've given up trying to post pics here.(EDIT: Actually I have pics of it on the 5/3 thread)

If you tell Rebecca that Justin sent you, you might get a small discount (depending on how many people actually do it, the first two or three might not get a discount, but if more show up I bet she'll give you about 10% off).

You know what I love the most about the sign in front of the Fillmore?

NIN is the only band that sold out. 2 nights at that.

Try waiting 11 years to see them!! you're not the only one that has been greatly influenced by Trent's music. Many people have him to thank for making them who they are and from what i've read, that is what makes Trent keep on. The concert was the best I've ever seen. Blew even Tool out of the water!
