wow.

i cant contribute a setlist, nor many cohesive sentences.

suffice to say, ive been waiting 11 years to see NIN, and it satisfied in every department.

Aaron jumping into the crowd at the end - and nearly killing me - was a fantastic end to an unpredictable evening. Reptile, The Collector, Gave Up and You Know what You Are? are some selected highlights.

and hats off to saul williams for tackling the london terrorist stuff without coming across as a buttmunch. He ruled, NIN were astounding and i am going to bed.

Got back. It was excellent, although I couldn't go to the front because my girlfriend didn't want to.

So I had to stand behind some big dreadlocked head and couldn't see much towards the end.

Apart from that, it was very good. Trent didn't talk much though.

I'll see if I can remember the setlist, although i don't think I can. I can remember the songs, but not the order.

Pinion
The Frail
The Wretched
You Know What You Are?
The Line Begins To Blur

and I can't remember, so I'll just copy and paste:

It was great, but I’m broken in two.

Great to meet all of you who I did too.

And a quick shout out to Gareth from Ayr if he’s lurking.
man that was great, sounded perfect,

as stated above, shame trent didnt talk to us, but hey fuck it, its nine inch nails!!!! i dont care about talking

Still on a high.

Loved the frail to the wretched, so glad they did that.

The back wall was amazing too, the greens and reds, ohhh awwww.

Thats all for a great gig, and hurt phenominal!!!

Stu

(guy with the la fee absinthe tshrt (with the big green eye)) If you saw me, hi
Holy shit.. got there at 10, met some very cool people (hi to you all if you read this, think there was Danni (sorry if thats spelt wrong) Chrissto (again sorry is spelt wrong) Hazel, James, Sean, Clara..and again sorry for any misspellings.. I was at front all day wearin just a black shirt with my mate wearin a bauhaus t shirt..

best day ever, didnt seem to q for long though I know we did.. the drunks kicked ass, trevor kicked ass.. and the mobile cctv mobile..classic

Saul williams I liekd but i didnt think I would.

NIN obviously fucking awesome.. fucking..wow..

I cant remember set list, was at barrier infront of Jeordie and loved every minute of it..

Hey to everyone I met and who made this day so great, not just for the music but the atmosphere.. thank you
I loved the gig, nearly as good as the Astoria shows.
I ended up in the second row, right in the middle, even though I didn't really want to be there. Barrowlands is a great venue, very impressed they played there.
Great night :)
Master Traveler
Just back, great night, Trent was in awesome form...not too much more to add right now :P I'm off to bed ;)
The gig was awesome, but something happened after the gig that hasn't been mentioned yet. Jerome (sorry, can't remember right, pretty pissed. The drummer anyway) needed help leaving the Barrowlands after the gig, and the bus left pretty quickly to go to the Western Infirmary. From what it looked like, he broke his foot.

No, i'm not making this up.
I forgot to mention also this was the loudest audience i ever heard everyone was siinging every word.. I talked to one guy who had been to the two london ones and is going to every other show and he said this was better than any other NIN show he has ever seen and he thinks it will be the best of the tour :D

The sound was absolutely awesome, pissing all over the astorias sound, but i thought the set list was a bit down tempo, it could have been more lively. But that sound, holy shit!! Nothing beats a good band at the barras, nothing!
Me and my gf got their about 7.30, queued for 10 minutes, went for a pee and stood at the very back to get a good view. That didn't last long, so ended up right down the front after you know what you are.

Saul Williams was amazing, fantastic bass sound, i thought i was going to shit myself it was so low. however, he paled in comparison when the nins hit the stage. i hav waited so long to see them and they did not dissapoint. Trent was fantastic as usual, as was jerome, his drumming was fantastic. Alessandro looked very serious and jeordie was just doing his job, albeit very well. Aaron however was one crazy guy, playing his guitar whilst trying to wrap it around his own face.
Throughout the last few songs they all started going nuts, switching to the cheap guitars for HLAH. Jeordie stopped playing and just strted strangling his guitar. Aaron, meanwhile climbed up the PA failing to pull it down, then climbed on the drumkit, then ran across to the keyboards, climbed over them, got his lead tangled up whilst allsandro shouted at him and pushed him off.
then at the end, guitars were thrown in the air, aaron's smashed on the ground and then dove head first into the crowd. That man has amazing stage presence. I remember seeing him with the icarus line at King Tuts to promote Penance Soiree and he ruled, even on that tiny stage in front of 15 people.
The gig was amazing, wish i'd bought tickets for more.

Oh Jeez - I hope they don't cancel. I've been waiting for this gig for, well, years! I keep checking nin.com - no updates yet!
Master Traveler
same here i keep checking- my train leaves in just over an hour.
Well I think the guys either got the wrong i9nfo or made it up cause the tour bus was there 30mins after the show still..
im going tonight too, i just looked and nin.com has been updated just now from manchester, but nothing about tonights show, anyone know what the update is??

I've scoured the site and all I can find are some updated details on some of the fall dates on the Performance page.
Master Traveler
Right am going to catch my bus, then train to birmingham.
Hope to see some of you guys.
Bye :)
i believe the set was the second brixton one w/ pinion intro instead and minus big come down and getting smaller.
these were definitely all the songs played, and i'm fairly sure this is the correct order:

Pinion (Intro)
The Frail
The Wretched
You Know What You Are?
The Line Begins To Blur
March Of The Pigs
Something I Can Never Have
The Hand That Feeds
With Teeth
Terrible Lie
Burn
Closer
Reptile
Love Is Not Enough
Suck
Even Deeper
Gave Up
The Day The World Went Away
Hurt
Wish
Starfuckers, Inc
Head Like A Hole
shit - wait - The Collector was played also...

oops! that's somewhere in the middle anyway,
not before terrible lie and not after gave up..
Master of the Ninth Arch
Last night was my first time seeing NIN LIVE!
I'm still in shock!
This was the greatest show i've ever seen. I'm stunned.
Last night was the greatest night of my life...
I'm still in shock!
Me, the bro, Fory & Martin headed into town for 4 O' Clock.
Fory joined the 20s club yesterday! Happy B day!
We walked around town for a while.
I was insulted for my choice in hair/ clothes by everyone:p
But I wasn't even listening!
Actually I had the feeling that the show might have been cancelled due to the shit that happened down in London.
We walked up to the barrowlands around 6. From a distance we saw the tour buses and people standing in Line.
All was well.
We waited in line and I was nearly touching the sky.
We got in the venue for around 7.20. I headed straight to the Merch stall, bought 2 t shirts & a limited edition poster which came to £46. But it was worth it! A NIN summer european tour t shirt with all the dates and a With Teeth shirt. yay!
Matthew was the only one who bought a Saul Williams T shirt. Bless him!
We ran up to the hall bought a beer, sat and waited for Saul Williams.
He came on about 8 O'Clock
Saul Williams was fantastic! I have is album which is amazing!
He even mentioned the shit that happened down in London & it didn't come across as Bonoish.
My bro even got to talk to him after the show & Saul said to him "Like the t shirt".
Saul & his DJ played for about 45mins. He played all the great stuff from his album & put on a great show.
After that we waited for NIN.
Before the show I met this fat bitch from college and her skinny goth, Machine Head t shirt wearing boyfriend.
She talked to me and I prended to listen.
She insulted Fory's Funeral For A Friend to his face!
I told her about the gig months ago. As soon as I found out infact.
She didn't bother getting in line for tickets when they went on sale.
But they got 2 tickets for £50 each outside half an hour before the gig.
Fair enough.


Anyway. Here's what the NIN set list looked like:

The Set List

1/ Pinion (Intro)
2/ The Frail
3/ The Wretched
4/ You Know What You Are?
5/ The Line Begins To Blur
6/ March Of The Pigs
7/ Something I Can Never Have
8/ The Hand That Feeds
9/ With Teeth
10/ Terrible Lie
11/ Burn
12/ Closer
13/ Reptile
14/ Love Is Not Enough
15/ The Collector
16/ Suck
17/ Even Deeper
18/ Gave Up
19/ The Day The World Went Away
20/ Hurt
21/ Wish
22/ Starfuckers, Inc
23/ Head Like A Hole


23 songs!! Just under 2hours!


The lights when down about 35mins alfter saul williams. which was about 9.15? Pinion started up & the feeling was indescribable...
Jeordie, Aaron, Alessandro & Jerome hit the stage.
Trent walked on & the place went nuts! I went nuts.
My voice went higher than ever before:P
The Frail started up & my god I nearly passed out.
I can't even say that there was one highlight for me.
Everything was astounding.
I really loved the wretched, line beings to blur,
the collector, even deeper, burn, reptile & of course Terrible Lie, Closer, Head Like A Hole.
The Barrowlands has to be the greatest venue i've been in. I've seen other one other show there.
The whole time I was right in front of the stage next to Trent. It was so fantastic to hear/see him perform.
Trent even looked straight at me (for real) When Love
Is Not Enough started up, not many people knew what it was. I started cheering & singing and he looked right at me!
I was so chuffed!
The whole thing ran so smoothly. Everyone was on top form! Even the audience. Well most of the audience. Not the WWF guys who didn't sing along to any of the songs. They were stuck in 1983 or thought they were at a Slayer gig or something:s They sucked cock But I punched one of them in the back of the head:)
I'm not making sense right now... It's all still a blur. & I am in a lot of pain. During Gave Up this fuckin' block head/ fat fuck picked me up when I was trying to avoid the pit & dropped me on my arse. The pain was so bad I almost passed out. I punched and kicked many block head/ fat fucks for that one!
During Wish, I had to run out of the pit. I was almost throwing up. I went straight back in after drinking some amount of coke.
Fory & his bro stayed up the front for about 4songs or so and stood at the the side for the rest.
Trent didn't talk to the audience much. But to be honest i'm glad there wasn't gaps between songs etc. It was just a fantastic performance. None of that shit was needed.
He did say that we were a "great fucking Audience".
That was more than enough.
Anyway I shall stop my rant for now.
The greatest night of my life for sure!
Bring on the European tour part 2! Arena Style!

Have fun people!
Enjoy tonight if your going!
Never seen NIN live before last night, but For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen, what a tremendous show! I was delighted for them that the shows sold out so quickly, but gutted because I couldn't get a ticket. My wonderful partner put two in my birthday card back in March. I was so delighted – I cried - and I love him even more now :grin: We were close to the front on Aaron's side and surrounded by amazing people. I have never been to Barrowlands and experienced such a good vibe before, and I've been plenty of times. It felt great and totally enhanced the experience.

I enjoyed Saul's set - he is one hell of a communicator - and I'm going to see him again at Cabaret Voltaire in Edinburgh on 22nd August as part of T on the Fringe.

Met some lovely people from Northumberland and saw plenty of Edinburgh folks there too.

The band really seemed to enjoy their gig. I loved the water 'sharing' between TR and the audience, although I was getting worried that he might get electrocuted at one point! He also did suggested we were a great fucking audience and gave us all the opportunity to let our voices be heard “don’t you..don;t you..don’t you” how long did that go on for? Plenty of water and plectrums and even the microphone were thrown into the crowd! NIN is not the kind of band I would expect to get between songs chat from anyway, and the interaction through their music and presence is what I wanted – and certainly got it.

The sound was great and I could hear everything. The Pinion intro with TR on keyboards bathed in blue light was lovely. The lighting crew did a great job. No particular high points for me. I enjoyed the whole set and felt there was a really good balance of material. A wild finish with Starfuckers Inc and HLAH with everyone going nuts and big grins all round.

Thank you NIN for a show that I will remember for a very long time.
Master Traveler
fuckin awesome show, missed saul williams coz i was havin a few pints oh well. way better than first night of astoria, mainly beacuse they played reptile and tdtwwa! wonder y they aint been playin only since it is their new single would love to see that song live :(
I've waited a long time to see NIN and I wasn't disappointed, the sound was fantastic, the crowd were fantastic and well up for it and the barrowlands to me is the best venue around bar none.

hopefully the scare with jerome isn't something serious and he will be fine for tonight.

Loved hearing Hurt and I think even Trent was taken aback at the sheer volume of the crowd singing along, I was up by the mixing desk but had a great view all night and the memories of this gig will live with me forever.
Master of the Ninth Arch
OH MY FUCKING GOD! IT WAS AMAZING! and Saul Williams was uber cool, way better than expected!
hello to the ETS people I met :) cant wait to see the picture!

i will post more later but ive just got in from a 4 hour journey and im fucked!
Bricklayer
That was the most incredible gig i have ever been to. I was one of the spiral members who got to see the soundcheck and meet the band. I cant believe it happened lol!!I think they played the wretched,the collector and the frail for the sound check.Someone correct me if i got that wrong ;).My brain is completely frazzled.
Saul Williams was fantastic. I think i'll go to edinburgh to see him on the fringe.
Being at the front for the whole gig wasnt as rough as i anticipated. It was such an amazing atmosphere and everyone seemed to be totally enjoying it. Aaron is brilliant and hes a lovely guy to talk to. My boyfriend talked to him for a bit about guitars.

I'll post pics and stuff soon XxX :-D

By the way did anyone make a recording last night?
Master Traveler
Real early in the gig, about the third or fourth song in I spotted someone on the right hand side of the crowd throw what I could only describe as a "huge green fucking gobber" at trent and it hit him right above his right eye...and it stayed there! I swear Trent saw red for a brief moment! I am really interested to know what it was they threw because of its apparent physical properties and if they had been saving it up!

Any yeah some stupid fucking cow overheard me saying "are we going to head into the crowd when the show starts"...she turned around and said "I hope you do, you are blocking my view". You miss are a fucking moron for reasons so obvious! I found there were quite a few such retards at last nights gig!
Master of the Ninth Arch
got there pretty late on after running around killie and glasgow's royal mail sorting offices trying to get another 2 tickets that because i wasn't in the house to sign for i couldn't pick up for another 24 hours at the sorting office (that i never got, fucking waste of £100)anyway after my sister and my friend managed to get tickets off scalpers outside for £50 each we went inside straight to the toilet then to the small bar downstairs, saul williams was finishing his second last song, managed to get down the front to the right of the stageas time went on more people started to make their way down the front which did start to get annoyin especially the girl who had a big bag strapped to her back and neede a lot of space for this eventually me and this girl pushed together to stop people getting by us which i thought was rather funny as people kept trying to get through us to na avail so just stood behind,

show was fucking amazing i personaaly thought the sound was a little off, maybe cos i was standing right in front of the speaker with it blasting right through me, was hoping to hear dead souls but was more than happy with what we got

I think he's going to play Only once the arena tour starts. He's mentioned before that he'll be playin it live!
We'll hear it once the European tour part 2 starts next year!

There were indeed retards at last nights show!
Like the WWF guys in the pit who almost broke my back :x lol
Master of the Ninth Arch
Well my first ever NIN gig was fucking amazing :-)

My friend and I were so over-excited I was worried I had hyped myself up way too much, but I wasn't disappointed at all. On the way in we stopped at the merch stand and I got a wee PHM shirt which I just love to bits :)

Saul Williams was interesting and I think he is a very talented songwriter - he definitely deserves to hit the big time.

I didn't go into the thick of it cos I'm tiny, but I managed to get a good vantage point from one of the little steps at the side - v cool BTW cos you can get near the front and have plenty room to dance around.

By the time the lights went down and Pinion started I was just incoherent and going "WAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" The crowd roared for the entire duration of The Frail; a shame since it's such a quiet song, but then you can't really blame them - it's been a bloody long time since NIN played in Glasgow. Other people have posted the setlist so I won't repeat it, but I think the highlights of the show were Reptile, Suck, Hurt and Head Like A Hole.

There were a few amusing moments too. Trent had hilarious hair for the first few numbers - there was a fan blowing at the back of his head so it gave him a bouffant heh! Jeordie when the bass cut out during WT - just looking at it with a confused expression on his face - but it got sorted quickly. Oh and Trent screwed up the first line of Terrible Lie and actually seemed quite embarassed.

The crowd were fab, enthusiastic from start to finish and there seemed to be a low arsehole contingent. I was confused by all the clapping along to Hurt though - I know it's a good song, but not really of the clap-along variety don't ya think?

I was especially impressed by North and his ability to hula his guitar around and not fuck anything up. He was also quite funny jumping on the PA and falling off again at the end.

All in all I had the best night out ever and can't wait to do it all again next week. Roll on Brixton!!

That concert could possibly be the best I've been to. I'm still in pain though, I think I've done something very bad to my foot.

Hi to everyone we met, you were all lovely. Shame on you to all of you who didn't speak to us, Alex was wearing an ETS T-shirt, you couldn't miss us.

We were outside the Barrowlands most of the day, talking to the jakeys (who were very entertaining, Pickles has already become legendary). We were on the look out for other ETS people. We saw Serifos, but didn't speak to him. He walked past us and Alex and I both turned round and houted 'it's him!', he either didn't hear us or was very scared.

He did indeed - but I've seen him play with Manson, APC and now NIN, and he always looks like that. Maybe he's just concentrating :? Or is just a miserable bugger?

Was Trent laughing during Starfuckers? When we chanted "Dont you" a thousand times?
Least we're not fucking Germans.

He was definitely grinning. I think it was right after Starfuckers that he said we were "a fucking good audience". Heh - course we are!

Before the gig

I would say the joviality of the early queuers was somewhat slashed by the conflicting stories of what had happened in London tricking through to us. The pub right next door to the venue wouldn't turn the sport off to allow us to watch what was going on. They didn't want to be "depressed". Shame, as the chances are, we would have bought stuff from them as we sat and watched. Bad business sense, really.

I wanna say as special hello to Hazel and Sean (shaun?) as well as the other two (i'm a dick, I can't remeber your names) who had been with them since half 6. You were much fun to be around, this is extended to Squee and his friend. If it hadn't been for hazel, that carpet idea would have remained unutilsed. That is by far the coolest idea, ever. Thank you for letting me sit in your car, while listening to the radio reports and calling my family in London. You rule.
I feel shit that after queuing all day you got jaked. I really hope you had a good time

ETS meet up V.2
Yes, thats right, the Scottish contingent was out in force. For those of you who avoided us, shame on you all!!!
Calls go out to: Alex of Scotland, DF118, Special K and sexy ferret(who had taken a coach up from London the night before) and the two non-ETsers who were with us - Tariq and Ashley. AbjectMisery also put in an apearance - which was cool - as did another member, John, (I can't for the life of me remeber your board name, I apologise). You were in with the Spiral members. It was cool to meet you too.

The Barrowlands locals
They deserve their own special segment. From piss soaked drunks to the guy who was all about spreading love on "fenian alley". Thank you for the comedy. For all the non-Glaswegians in the queue who had never dealt with the barrowlands locals before, I'm sure you were scared rigid. Sorry.

News and Booze get a thanks for letting a queue full of people continually use your loo for a minimal 20p

The Show
The barrier is around 4ft tall. I am 5ft. This made for an intersting obstacle. Standing up against it, it gets me right on my lower throat/neck. I spent the gig with my arms above shoulder height, on the barrier, effectively keeping me propped up. There is a large, thick cushioned area at the top of the barrier which is rather comfortable. That made the crush somewhat bearable, maybe even more enjoyable! (To the dick who was behind me: Purposely deadening my arms and obscuring my view was a shitty shitty thing to do. Be thankful I have a little decorum and I didn't bite you)

Saul Williams was amazing as usual. The stage was somewhat smaller and he was unfortunately having some issues with his dance space. He tripped up at on point, falling into the decks behind him. Still fucking awsome. The crowd were singing/rapping with him. It was ace.

The band came on to massive chants of "NINE INCH NAILS" and stamping.

Jerome was working off of some electronic pads rather than a full drum Kit tonight, as the stage was just too small to accommodate his massive Kit.

The band were on top form, as were the audience. It was spectacular. The singing from the crowd during SICNH was astounding. Trent looked genuinely shocked, and rather happy at it.

There was about a gazillion crowd surfers as well as people being passed over the barrier due to being in an (semi)unconsious state. TR's tech (who someone informed me is also a tech for Bowie?) helped with one girl who, once over the barrier, security were having trouble with while waiting on paramedics.

People kept throwing their water cups onto the stage, which to clarify is normal at a Barras gig. Fuck knows why, but it aint meant negatively. This was happening at such a rate that by "TDTWWA"
Head of Security issued an order to pass out no more water. At one point, a T shirt was thrown on stage. Aaron bent down, wiped his face with it and threw it back into the crowd.

[edit] I forgot about when Jordie's Bass just cut out on him, he just kinda picked it up and looked at it, really confused. It was only a temporary glitch. Trents guitar had a small glitch right at the beginning as well, it was sorted in record time though, so it was cool. Someone said he fouled up a couple of lyrics. I missed that.
I fucked up lyrics twice (don't know how); Thank God there was no camera in my face this time to pick that up. Embarrassment hell.

Starfuckers was phenomenal. The "Don't You" repetition didnt die out as it had in Brixton and was by the longest I have ever seen it go on for. I had to stop and breathe at one point form having shouted it so many times. The security guy called me a pussy. haha.
It was amazing to be part of.

"Head Like a hole", which had been boring me recently, was trully amazing last night. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen! I have never screamed those lyrics so loud or impassioned in my life. The guy behind me was a dick, and it spurred me on a little bit more. Then, just as I thought the song was coming to a close, Aaron, threw his guitar to one side and lunchecd himself into the crowd. I had no idea if he was trying to kill someone who had offended him, or if it was because we had been the best crowd. I am just going to go ahead and believe the latter of the two. It was quite a sight.

Fucking best gig yet out of the 5 times I have been lucky enough to see them. Great. Trully out of this world. Made better by the fact I got my Glasgow Lithograph signed by the band. Woohoo.

Right.

PRE-SHOW.

First of all we managed to piss people of cus we sat beside Christo and Azure at the front of the que, but then we did the decent thing and moved to the back, this was about 1pm. (which later turned out to be the ideal trent watching place).

We sat on rugs purchased from Eric's Carpets across the road (5 for a £1). The band arrived in stunned silence about 4/5ish. Alessandro, Jerome, Arran and Jeordie marched in fairly quickly from the bus.

Trent allowed some time to pass for drammatic affect.


When he did lots of camera phones went off and he paused right in front of us (possibley distracted by A) silence b)my ETS shirt or c) Special K's cleavage)
and then said.......... "hey"....I then had a girly moment.
Oh yes and my mate tarek, who was closest to trent then said "was that him?"....yes, in all seriousness.

to be continued.

At Brixton, the band went in through a side door and any fans were moved well away from the tour bus and door so that there was no contact with the band (or so I have been informed).

When they came in yesterday, they came in the stage door at the front of the venue. The queue was so close that those on either side of the door where standing at the door frame. The band all rushed in, with Cortini rushing back out, into the bus, back out, and then into the venue.
Trent them came out, paused, waved, said "hi" then went inside. I have been informed his ladyfriend was with him. I missed that entirely. Most likely, this was to do with the fact, that the band effectively just walked through the queue and that everyone in the queue had kept their civility while the band walked past them. We had just taken bets on one batshit fan making a running jump at the band while hollering some gibberish. Didn't happen.

THE SHOW

Okay we get inside and await Saul Williams, Whos rocks the shit out the place, a couple next to me really needed to get a room for the first 5 minutes of Sauls set then the girl doesnt look at the stage once and looks towards the back the whole time looking really pissed off about being there.

List of Demmands was partically awesome I thought.

Then of course NIN made there way to the stage.
Trent spent the first 10 minutes ingesting Weightgain 4000 and doing some bench presses and kicking some sand into Alessandro's face.*

Then he started to play the frail and i turned into a panicy fangirl again. I snapped out of this by looking at Jeordie. Cue the Wretched and the whole crowd becomes an uncontrolable monster and sensation not eased by the appearence of "you know what you are." and then "march of the pigs."

Tempo was changed by Something I can never have which is a girls song...... things are hazy from here on.

Everyone did the "FIST FUCK" Actions during Wish, Apparently Trent pissed his pants during Starfuckers when we all did the "Dont You" part 17000 times. Something he found so funny that he didnt even bother singing during Head Like a Hole.

Oh yes and I hurt myself durng....Hurt Ironically.

Trent broke a Guitar and Some fans broke Arrons Fall.

AND THERE WAS NO FUCKING LEO!!!

Thanx alot alex :-D
glad u all had a good time at the gig. I personally was a little disapointed. I saw them back in 94 on the back of the downward spiral album and they were amazing. I think they played to many songs of Fragile. Dont get me wrong I think fragile is a great album to listen to but not great for lifting a crowd during a live performance. And Im gutted that they didnt play happiness in slavery.

Thats a shame.
I wasn't expecting to hear any of those tracks as, apart from the occasional playing of Sin, none of them have been played since this new round of shows started back in March.

I didn't see the previous tours, so I can't say if this show was better or worse in comparison to those, I do however think that of the 5 times I have seen them, that the Glasgow show just beat what had been my favourite show. This may well have had something to do with the comfort/buffer zone of the barrier and being so damned close to the stage.
London Brixton Carling Academy should take a goddamned look at it. The barrier there is designed to cause maximum pain, i'm sure of it.

Someone please tell me where my Manchester tickets are? I can't find them and I have loads of unpacked boxes in two diffrent storage sites. I need to find them ASAP!!!!

[edit] found them. Now i just need to find my goddamned train tickets down to London.

I knew that none of those songs were going to be played but I still wanted to hear them :). If I'd seen this show back on the Fragile tour I would of loved it and I'd of gone to a few of the others as well but I'm just not as big an NIN fan as I used to be.

All in all I got pretty much what I expected. The start was good, the finale was awesome but I thought that the show lost its way a bit in the middle.

Also, I know what your saying about the barriers at the Barrowlands. Places like Brixton and Earls Court need to get some padding on theirs.

NINE INCH NAILS ***
BARROWLAND, GLASGOW

TRENT Reznor, the forbidding face of Nine Inch Nails, is one of those rock stars who is treated like an oracle for inflicting - sorry, sharing - his anguish in musical form. He could easily have played this rare Scottish show in a far larger venue, as there appears to be no end of fans eager to feel his pain. Remember, this is the man who wrote the uncomfortable Hurt, covered with agonising poignancy by Johnny Cash shortly before his death.


The fans could not wait for the self-flagellation to begin. To mounting hysteria, Reznor picked out some bars of sonorous melancholy on the keyboard. His band of arty goths, including ex-Marilyn Manson bassist Jeordie White, joined in with doomy metronomic rigour. Reznor growled, then Reznor howled. "Now you know this is what it feels like," he roared with throat-shredding ferocity under lurid tales-from-the-crypt lighting. It was all rather hammy but still quite creepy.

Rhythm is the key. Nine Inch Nails have a battery of compelling propulsive beats, at times bordering on nosebleed techno in intensity. But the potential thrills of their industrial electro noisecore were offset by lapses into ponderous, chest-beating indulgence littered throughout the set. The effect of Reznor's own version of Hurt was punctured when the crowd started to clap along.

After close to two hours of personal exorcism, ending with the anthemic chant of Head Like A Hole, Reznor was sweat-soaked and spent. It's an arduous gig, this being assailed by demons business.

Hey to everyone we met I was indeed one of the nutters who was there since 6:30am. Fraser my name is Kara not Clara, and to Danni the other guy is called James. Damn that wait till 10 o'clock for the carpet was harsh on my backside. Hey Chrisy guy hope you got to your euro inn thing alright we drove past it just as we left you.

Well what a show, and what a fricken wait 12 hours outside with a total of 17 pish soaked, drunken hoboes deciding to talk to us. They made the day go quicker, along with the CCTV van haha that was ace. What was the name of that roadie? He was a cool guy; he gave me a NIN pick. Damn the security guy on the door for teasing us for 15mins, my heart was near bouncing through my chest.

We managed to get right where we wanted, just to the right, at the front. Saul Williams what an awesome guy, definitely going to see him in Edinburgh and then of course the Dresden Dolls two days after.
I don't know how I didn't piss my pants when Trent came on I was so fricken excited I thought I was gonna faint. The sound as always in the Barrowlands was amazing. There was a lot more With teeth than I expected, awitha teetha live what an experience. I thought I’d be upset if they didn’t play The Great Below but it was such an awesome gig it didn't bother me in the slightest.

The best night of my life definitely.

Thanks again to all you guys during the day for a good laugh, and to the old hag who started calling hazel a wanker cause she didn't give her any money.

I had the honour of being at the sound check and meeting the band and asked the question about the bank card...........he is still amazed that someone threw a bank card at him.

Hi there. I just registered here to see if any of you could help me out. I was at the Barcelona show and the glasgow show and at both gigs there was this amazing slow grinding tune played right before pinion started and NIN came on. I've been to a few forums to find what the ruddy heck it is but so far nobody can tell me. If any of you could tell me I'd be very greatful.
By the way, the barcelona show was the best gig I ever saw until I saw them at the Barrowlands. They played about an hour longer in Glasgow and the crowd was a thousand times more up for it.

Cheers in advance if you can help me.

I believe they played part of "beside you in time" before they began playing in glasgow, though I may be wrong.

Sorry I should've been a bit more clear, it wasn't part of there set, it was the last track that was played when they were setting up. It wasn't a nine inch nails track.

MAIL MUSIC: REZNOR AND PALS NAIL PERFECT PERFORMANCE

Jul 17 2005

NINE INCH NAILS Glasgow Barrowland, July 7

Stef Lach

Somewhere in the 'get rich quick' bible there's a chapter that recommends selling despair and misery to angry teenagers.

Trent Reznor wrote that chapter and years after he first punted pain on Pretty Hate Machine, he's still got those fans in his back pocket. But now teens vastly outnumber the older fans.

After support act, the brilliant Saul Williams, Reznor was hailed as some kind of messiah as he took to the stage ahead of his band mates. The Hand That Feeds sat beautifully alongside genre- defining classics Closer and Reptile.

Taking time out from A Perfect Circle, bass player Geordie White(one of Marilyn Manson's Spooky Kids) cut a dapper figure next to guitarist Aaron North's manic antics. North almost stole the limelight from Reznor - but not quite.

If Reznor keeps writing records as phenomenal as With Teeth and keeps delivering live shows as captivating as this, he'll be hailed as the messiah for years to come.


*I was at Rammstein last night* Fuckin' amazing!
Not as good as nin though.

INDUSTRIAL rockers Nine Inch Nails blasted back at the Barrowland with a blistering two hour set in front of a 2000 strong capacity crowd to promote their new album, With Teeth. Backed by simple yet impressive stage lighting and their trademark explosive sound production, Trent Reznor and co. revelled in the atmosphere and came up with a typically energetic performance from start to finish.

Crowd favourites such as the powerful Closer, Head Like a Hole, Hurt and the wonderful Something I Can Never Have, were mixed into the set along with new material such as The Collector, Line Begins To Blur and their scorching new single The Hand That Feeds, which went down particularly well with the Glasgow crowd.

It was an awesome display which had the crowd gasping for breath and definitely not an evening for the faint of heart

I'm stunned - a Daily Record review where the name of the band and all the song titles are actually correct!

Wow

Excellent. Thank you all very much. It's greatly appreciated.
I have the soundtrack to the Derek Jarman film 'Blue' somewhere, I am sure the song is on that CD, If I find it and it's allowed I can post it in a yousendit link.

I just need to find the darn thing first

Hi,

Anyone have an audio recording of this momentous gig? It was just too good a gig not to ever hear again. My ears wait to be bled.......

Unforunately, I don't think anyone recorded it.

I've been looking around for a while.

I really should have taken my mp3 recorder, damnit.
Grand Pontiff
I had mine but I had left it in the car.

The sound would be really distorted anyway.
yeah, me and my girlfriend were toying with the idea of a 10 year old tape recorder and a shitty mp3 recorder (at all of 64 kpbs I believe) and splicing them together...

better than nothing though, i suppose... to bad we didn't do it.
