Just got back from the show! was right against the rail, fucking awesome show! the setlist is the same as the past couple shows...I'm drenched, soaked! got kicked in the back of the head a couple times from surfers. My digi-cam survived the battle! will post some pictures later on. I'm heading back to the venue to see if any after-parties are happening. Off I go!!

tonight was my first nin show, and my god, it was amazing. like it was said, the setlist was the same as it has been the last few nights but in a slightly different order. all i can say is that the intensity onstage tonight was unlike anything else i have ever seen. my appreciation for everything nin has just grown a whole lot more.

Holy shit it owned. And for all the stuck-up Premiums....we were on the rail the whole time...and I still got a litho...so you and your ugly wives can eat me hahahahaha.

Setlist was probably identical. Trent was amazing as usual. Got a lot of amazing shots...Down In It was a personal highlight......basically the show owned.

Quite a night. First arena show Ive seen this year, but sixth overall this year, and I doubted the arena shows would match the club shows. But, this was a great show and even tho I couldnt see the projected images really from against the barrier the lights were amazing. Security was excellent, best Ive ever seen at protecting us at the front from crowd surfers. And while the no-water rule was fucking ridiculous, at least they gave us a bit during the show. Everyone I met in line, great to meet you, this is Adam by the way (for those that eventually found out my name). Can't wait for more shows in November, fuck, its too long.

One more thing... WHO IS MR. SELF DESTRUCT?

Jesus Christ that was the best concert I've ever been to in my life.

The setlist was the same as the other shows minus the new song "Not so pretty." The crowd was sooo into it and energetic. They were singing along to every song. Even Trent commented twice on how good the crowd response was... and he said "thank you" after almost every song.

The highlight for me was Eraser. The ending was so ferocious going along with the imagery on the screen perfectly. Even though I dont like Deep, I've found a new respect for it after hearing it live. Right Where It Belongs completely eclipsed Hurt... the emotion was overwhelming during that song. The lights and digital art on the background were amazing too.

Songs I didnt really care for live were The Line Begins To Blur and I think there could be a better opener than Love Is Not Enough.

i agree with you on everything except for TLBTB. that was my personal highlight of the night. eraser was amazing as well though. i'm so grateul i got to see this tonight.

AH!

First time I've ever seen NIN live, and I am bloody inspired! I just got back and I'm pissed I didn't get to go to the after par-tay being underage and such....ah well! WHO CARES??? I SAW NIN BEFORE I DIED!

I'm trying to remember the setlist but I really can't. Hightlights for me were:

March of the Pigs
Hurt
Right Where it Belongs
Eraser
Closer

I was on Jeordie's side, and when he played the bass for the chorus of Closer I freaking MELTED. I mean, that is a sexy bassline to begin with but when I heard it tonight it was just brilliant.

Like I said this is my first NIN show and Trent just blew me away. He looked like me meant every word of what he was saying, which is amazing because, well, we've all heard NIN lyrics and it's easy to identify with them. And personally, I think THAT'S what being an artist is about, reaching out and touching people and telling them they aren't alone (well, we are but...not).

haha yeah little cheesey but I needed to get that out!

Those are my highlights.

Lowlights:

So many people were assholes in the pit though, people need to realise: You go into the pit, you're going to get hurt. It's not personal, people just want to see the band and NOT DIE. I mean everyone's there for the same reason and everyone caughed up $80 (it's so worth it though) to see the show, so you might as well just shrug and be shoved. Don't wanna be shoved? MOVE.

Were you the blonde haired kid in the front center of the barrier? the one with the neck piercing and NIN tattoo on the back of your neck?

Unbelievable show. I was there from 3:30 in line but with premium fan club members till told to go to other line for standard as they got let in at 5:30. Don't care that's what they paid for. Highlight for me was of Right Where It Belongs. Least favourite song(though still great) was the version of Burn. QOTSA put on a concert of their own and Autolux weren't bad at all.

I found Autolux dissappointing, they didn't really have any energy. QOTSA was good though. gotta love the new LCD screens that NIN are using.

Tonight's show was the best I've ever been to. Trent's performance was intense and he was completely on fire the whole night. The rest of the band was great too, Aaron has definitely made me forget about Robin. The entire crowd stood up for the whole performance and was into everything and sang along the whole night. Personal highlight: Hurt, the crowd singing along was really great. QOTSA were good and the crowd was respectful but everyone was really there to see NIN. Missed Autolux and their apparently hot female drummer.

Where were you sitting Spook? saw you in front of the line, after everyone was let into the show, didn't see you at all. Smart move on bringing the poster tube! I managed to pick up a couple T's and an event poster after the show. Seems like they were well stocked up.

we were right up near the rail, stage left, about 3 people back

well, only for NIN though, we hid way in the back for autolux (actually, we drank during autolux) and queens of the stone age

Hey, you canadian pricks, let's get a fucking setlist up here pronto, eh?

Almost (if not totally) identical to Portland...sorry I had the pen and paper in the pit for the first 3 songs but then had to sacrifice them up to jab them in some dude's eye.

identical to portland.



1. pinion/Love is not enough
2. Wish
3. Terrible Lie
4. The Line Begins to Blur
5. March of the Pigs
6. The Frail/The Wretched
7. Closer
8. Burn
9. Gave Up
10. Eraser
11. Right Where it Belongs
12. Beside you in Time
13. You Know What You Are?
14. Sin
15. Only
16. Deep
17. Down in it
18. Hurt
19. The Hand that Feeds
20. Starf*ckers
21. Head Like a Hole

I got there as Wish was playing... having had to race from work. Terrible lie was just starting as I entered the Colliseum, but I completely missed the song while dealing with two retarded gothlings who were in me and my girlfriend's seats. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt, and assunme they were drunk, but seriously... they must have been retarded. The exchange went something like this:

Me: Hey, those are our seats, but if you squish in we can all fit.
Retarded gothling: No, these are ours.
Me: *chuckle* No... section V, row 3, seats 1 and 2.
Retarded gothling: No, we're section V, row 3, 1 and 2.
Me: Umm... no... look *shows tickets* These are our seats, just squish in and we can all stay down here.
Retarded gothling: That's a "U" idiot.
Retarded gothling #2: U! UUUUUUUU! *makes "U" with fingers*
Retarded gothling: You're over there, we're V.
Me: ....No. We're V, you're not. Just squish in and we can all watch from here.

At that point the security guard flashes his flashlight on me and motions that I move in from the aisle.

I shrug at the retarded gothling and try to move in. Retarded gothling and reatarded gothling #2 make a sort of wall.

The security guard becomes more impatient.

During this, the gothlings are endlessly saying "UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" and making "U" signs with their hands.

Oh well, I figure, and wander over to the security guy to verify that indeed those are my tickets. Sure enough, I'm in the right place. He asks to see the gothling's tickets. They make some big production about searching for them, find them, and, surprise surprise, they get sent off in different directions up into the blue seats.

Retards... I would have shared the space with them... but that's what you get when you're a retarded gothling harpy.


Anyway, the rest of the show was awesome. Crowd seemed a little tame, but songs like hurt, and strangely enough, Deep, got the energy up nice and cool.

The lights and sparklies and images were great... I'd go again in a second... well worth the $80.

Not sure what I did wrong but I can't post the images here so here are the links to some sweet shots of the Vancouvder show!

In a lot of pain, theres no good reason for someone to elbow me in the face is there? Other than a somewhat retarted crowd it was easily the best show i've been to, I'm a big fan of QOTSA and Autolux as well so that made the night even better. I got the to the venue at 12, which was stupid becouse no non-spiral people showed up till about 3:30ish. Hello to everyone i met...


Back to bed now, it hurts to type....

That show kicked Seattle's in the ass.
Seriously, the best. EVER.
Im a happy gal.

Does anyone have a bootleg version of this concert in van? it fucking rocked but i wouldnt mind hearing it again just trying to piece the night back together.

Cross-posting here too:

Ok, I was at the Vancouver show last night (which totally kicked a**, of course), and on the way in I saw a sign that said something like 'video and audio downloads from this show will be available at <some URL> after the performance'.

Of course, I totally forgot the URL, and when I checked again after the show, all the signs were gone.

Anybody else catch this???!!!

umdesch4.

Went to the vancouver show last night. kicked some serious ass, wish i got floor tickets
highlight of the setlist was 'Only' they did it so much better than the album version, I was amazed. Also I was wandering around looking for someone at the very end, and I couldnt make out from the nosebleeds whether it was Aaron or Jeordie who smashed their guitar at the very end
can anyone clarify?
it was one hell of a show

It was Aaron.
That was the BEST CONCERT EVER. I didn't want to sleep and go to the school the next day cuz everything would be so meaningless. Haha. It was.
Autolux was disappointing. I've heard most of their stuff on their album and it's good but they just weren't as good as I expected them to be. Less noise more music!! They only played for 20-25 minutes too. Oh well.
Queens were good, I just wish I had all their albums not just the 2 of em. Josh introducing 'In My Head' and 'No One Knows as "Songs about fucking" was absolutely hilarious!! He's a pretty good guitarist as well.

OK, NIN was fucking incredible. When I saw Trent I did this stupid "holy shit Trent's real!!!!! He's right there!! I'm breathing the same air as him!!" etc etc... so lame but just lemme have my moment.

HIGHLIGHTS:
The crowd was pretty okay but what pissed me off was that people were cheering and yelling during the quieter songs like 'Hurt' or 'Right Where It Belongs'. They're only doing that because it's the only time they can be heard. It's not that hard to not yell when Trent is singing.
The visuals for 'Right Where It Belongs' and 'Eraser' were fucking amazing.
'Deep' sounded really good.
'Closer' with the Only Time break was soooo cool. I've heard about it but actually hearing and seeing it live was just wow.
You know how you love a band but after you see them live it's like you suddenly realize that they REALLY REALLY REALLY fucking rock? It was like that for me.

Things that sucked:
'March Of the Pigs'
This frat boy in front of us who tried to bride the security guard to letting him on the floor. Did that for all of NIN's show. He kept waving his money around and being such a moron. Ugh I wanted to punch him sooo badly and take his money but I was in a good mood...
I was buying a shirt and the girl gave me the wrong size. I realized that only when I went home. I should have tried it on at the concert but I'm stupid so that's my excuse. Sucks so much, I spent $35 bux on a shirt that doesn't fit...

Random things:
Was it just me or did Trent screw up the lyrics to 'The Wretched'?
The girl beside me smelt really bad...
Some guy pulled my hair when I was waiting outside after the concert. He was cute but it was kinda weird

Just searching around and found pics @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/henryfaber/

There's also videos linked from there, but I can't get them to work with quicktime. Anyone able to figure it out?

damn that show was just freakin awesome

first NIN show

ive seen van halen, doors of 21 century, motley crue within the past year and they all suck ass compared to NIN live

I like QOTSA but something bout them live i just didn't like it at all, same with autolux as well

I think those 2 ugly goth chicks came and sat by us and went all crazy cause i wasnt gonna give them any of my liqour

and bloody security tried to take my bud, bastards i grabbed it and told the guy i was leavin and then walked past all the people patting you down and made it in no problem

^

movies play just the sound for me as well

im wondering if anyone else got those working or has anywhere else with good video footage or audio clips, even a bootleg of some sort

those pics are awesome! Cant wait till they come to st. Louis!

First NIN show (fan since PHM)

Unbelievable show. Autolux was awesome (reminds me of 'my bloody valentine' - probably not for everyone, but I thought they were good). Queens were pretty good too.

One thing that I thought was really odd was seeing so many young people. I think that half the crowd must have been under the age of 19, while another quarter of the crowd were likely not old enough to drive a car. I wonder how they 'got into' NIN (older brother/sister perhaps?).

The other thing that I thought was wierd was the amount of 'goths.' I don't mean the coolish goth look with the classic head to toe black (yeah, I do that from time to time as well). I'm talkin about the cheezy pleather pants, boots bigger that bigfoot's feet & tacky silver buckles to the 9's - if you're going goth, at least have some f#ck!ng style!

Then I realize that most of these fashion victims are the really young teenie boppers that likely had their parents drive them to the concert. Which led me the theory that these kids are just trying to fit in with the 'goth crowd' in their particular school/social crowd/whatever; they dress like retards, and if they're really 'goth' (I mean a 'cool' goth), then they're 'supposed' to listen to nine inch nails. Idiots. To them, a concert like this is probably less about the music and more about an excuse to dress up like dracula or the crow.

At any rate, I think it's worth mentioning that 99% of the crowd remained standing for the WHOLE show (hence, no bitching about sitting down/standing up/that guys head is in the way).

One other thing: trent needs some serious quality control on those T-shirts. I'm worried mine will fall apart if I decide to wash it.

The performance was one with wicked intensity. I definitely got rocked at this concert.

highlight of the night was aaron smashing his guitar litteraly into peices. I was really hoping he was going to. I wonder how many he goes through, one a night?

I just got home from Vancouver about an hour ago and I finally can sit down and says how fucking amazing Nine Inch Nails was. First of all...THANK YOU SO MUCH to the guy (I never did catch your name) who sold my friend and I the floor tickets. By the time we got to the floor she was completely piss drunk, but she remembers all and say how awesome it was! Anyway once again, thank you. You don't know how much it meant to me to be there!
I personally loved Autolux, have been a a fan of them and Failure for ...a while. QOTSA...I liked them a lot. Usually I'm iffy with them...but I did like them. When NIN came on though...I went mad. Most amazing thing I've ever seen in my ENTIRE life! I know being on the floor means be prepared to get hurt, but I couldn't tell you how many times I got shoved by big, fat, sweaty guys. It was scary! A few times I shoved back...it felt good. Who the hell was that girl who was crowd surfing with no top on? I'm sorry, but did you think that was necassary? I was also surprised with the amount of gothic people. Not a problem with them at all...but wow! I've never seen so many. I didn't really fit in though, because I am the person who doesn't look like the average NIN fan at all...so it was really interesting for me.
As for the songs played...wow. I got goosebumps throughout the concert. Hearing everyone sing sing sing was great...although when I looked around, I saw no one singing. Haha I sure was.

Maybe you remember my friend and I lighting our joint at the wrong end? Then she just takes her toke anyway...all fine and good. Haha...thanks to the guy who was like "You lit it at the wrong end!" haha...oops. Sorry we didn't share...we had our organic joints specially prepared. Well...that all I can say. Just a fucking awesome concert!!!!!

yeah, first nin show too. i got hurt a few times but its all good.
I also liked on how people were always helping someone up when they were to fall in the pit, good job everyone.

march of the pigs

Yea, thats me, tho I take slight offense to being called a kid, but I suppose thats what I get for shaving before the show.

Fuck, that sucks. I really should have brought a camera, I would have had amazing shots, basically the same shots as press could get, but ohh well, maybe next time if I feel like going through the hassle. ha, did you hear me yell during autolux back at the soundboard? The crowd responded, but obviously they didnt know what it meant and would respond to anything, but Im curious if you heard it and made it out.

hah Yeah I'm 16 and my fucking mother got me into NIN when I was about 10. I listened to a lot of Manson and my mom was like "You know Trent Reznor did some work with him..." been a fan ever since.

And about the goth thing, I think people can dress however they want but then you get the really stuck up people. As in "I have giant boots and a shiny pleather skirt, I'm so much better than you!!" grrrr....fuck off. I ended up wearing all white to the show, hahahahha.

Absolutely amazing show. NIN blew the roof off of the coliseum completely. The energy in the stadium with the crowd, lights, and of course sound was fucking incredible.

As for the teenage 'goths', I am 16 and do not look, act, or consider myself goth. I got into NIN because the music is just that good, so good that I absolutely had to go to the show. Reznor is brilliant, and fits in with those few people who make an effort to fuck everyone else, be unique, and make a difference in the world. He struggles with creativity, but ends up producing insanely awesome stuff time and time again. Kudos to him and the rest of the band.

Best moments:
Terrible Lie
March of the Pigs
The Wretched
Eraser
Head Like a Hole

thanks for the pictures. i was really bummed that i forgot my camera. that changed though because i got too into the show to care after anyways.

The show was awesome! It was my first NIN concert. QOTSA, and Autolux were kickin'. I felt bad for Autolux because people on the floor weren't into it, they were just standing there like knobs. Well from where I was sitting that's what it seemed like to me. Trent is super sexy. He makes me drool, love his hip movements when he plays his guitar, grrr! Need more Trent. Hopefully I'll see them in Edmonton. I WANT TRENT'S BABIES NOW!!!!!!! But for the most party, of what I remember, the show was fuckin' amazing.

The show was really good. Autolux fucking rocked, QOTSA was great and of course NIN was awesome. Can't say too much about the crowd. I recall one stupid fucking prick who came in there to fight, the security shined a flashlight on him and some girl said "Yeah, kick that asshole out" or something to that effect.

I don't understand why moshing is good, so, I didn't dig that.

Great show though.

I've been to lots of big arena concerts, but this was my 1st NIN show...and WOW! I can't think of one word to describe the show! I loved/sang along to every single song...atleast 1/2 the crowd was goths, but whatever, thats pretty much expected. The crowd was insane, everyone was standing before NIN even got on stage, thats a 1st to see, usually the band has to tell everyone to get up! Personal highlights for me were: The Line Begins to Blur(i just thought his voice was SO amazing during that song), Wish, The Wretched, and the Eraser, RWIB, BYIT video set. Did anyone here what Trent said as he walked off stage?!?!

first, i've gotta say thanks to Goose for selling me one of his tickets - because of him, I got to go on the floor - about 3 people from front and centre!!! it was an awesome experience, although the "squashpit" and crowd surfers were almost a bit too much for me... there were a couple of times i felt like i couldn't make it, but managed to hold my ground till the end... met a few nice people there, i'll say hi to Nick, Nicole (and Nicole's friend - damn if I can't remember yer name...)
thanks, and sorry to everyone in front of me for being my "support system"
all three bands rocked! yeah Autolux had some "technical difficulties", and they didn't seem really into it, but they sounded good. QOTSA were good, although not really my thing. NIN blew me away! so amazing, so great! It was awesome to see Trent looking right down at us on the floor while he was singing... intense!
I just wish they had more air blowing on the floor - i had a hard time breathing and singing... oh well, i'm still alive so what am i complaining about?

can't wait for calgary and edmonton!

I have to disagree about the T-Shirts, I bought one and tho i have yet to wash it, it appears to be very high quality imo

The show was amazing.
Ive never been to a concert so visually stunning. I saw nails in Brisbane Aus. in aug and the lights and effects were so lame. I was super dissapointed dropping like 100 bucks on a ticket except ftr the fact that they played Dead Souls which sounded amazing.

The Vancouver show blew my mind! It was really what I thought a nails show was all about. The Screen was really mesmorizing. The morfing ecological robotic images of trees, birds, incects and ant colonies morphing to politcal tones of George Bush dancing into a warfield was really powerful. Ecology not economy!! The P.C. isn't the greatest venue but the sound was perfect and the band played amazingly tight. It also made Queens sound like a pile of monkey shit. (Who weren't that bad just kinda boring- ya know).
My fave parts of the show would be -Hurt with the sing along, Closer kicked ass with the lights and the re-mix at the end. Burn for odvious reasons was beyond epic, and the fact they played down in it which sounded great! (Which sounds way better live so stoked!) All in all, this is one of if not the best concerts I have ever been to. I really hope to see nails again (soon this time please- Trent buddy). Anybody have any recordings or video? I Would love to watch it again and again...

brad3117 wrote: One other thing: trent needs some serious quality control on those T-shirts. I'm worried mine will fall apart if I decide to wash it.

Totally agree. I bought the zipup hoodie and there were strings hanging from all over. I had to re-stitch in a few places. Mind you, it did live though the crazed moshpit so I shouldn't complain too much...

Great show. Now the 5th time I've seen NIN and by far, this was the best one yet. Who knew that being sober actually made a difference onstage? Also one of the few bands that plays a decent sized set.

Not sure how everyone else managed the cameras. Freakin' security guard confiscated my bitty micro polaroid digital. Good thing I only paid $30 for the thing.

BTW - Thanks to the rockin' security guy who hooked us up with the wristbands. Buddy, you made my year. That was awesome of you.

wristbands?

about the cameras..

I want to take mine to the toronto show, but I don't want it taken away.... how did you guys get them in?

p.s. thanks for the pics of the show... makes me wish november would come faster.

Saw the Seattle show which was really great, but I would hafta say the Vancouver show was even better...probably partly due to the fact that I could see everything a hell of a lot better since I wasn't lost in the mosh this time. The energy on stage was amazing and I was impressed with how good they sound live.

The very best part was meeting Trent before the show as he was coming out of his bus. He was very sweet, and didn't protest when I held onto him so we could be nice and close for photos Very cool.

These two shows where my first nin shows and they definitly lived up to all my expectations and beyond.

did you seriously get to meet im? Wow...that is amazing! About what time was that at? And did the boys of NIN each go into a bus for a long drive back to California, or did they fly back? I wasn't quite sure. I would have done anything to meet my hero, trent. and Jerome is one sexy machine...I couldn't keep my eyes off of him that whole concert. Well...lucky you. I hope one day my day will come to meet NIN.

I saw NIN live last night... they were great... the place was packed... and everything seemed to flow quite smoothly... some of the songs they performed were closer, head like a hole, starfuckers inc, hurt, only, etc... (i really should have written a list... but i was too busy ogling trent...) trent looked fan-fucking-tastic!!! i'm such a nerd, cause i brought a pair of binoculars... (my sight isn't as great as it used to be...) but they proved to be a great trade off for a puff off a joint... (every other person there was lighting up something) for some of the songs, there was a transparent curtain that was drawn in front of the stage, where video was projected upon... which was great, cause everyone would sit down, and i could give my feet a rest... during one part, there was video of george w himself, ballroom dancing with his wife... of course everyone booed... i hope they release a dvd of the tour... i would definitely buy it! the odd thing though, was that there was a coat check... but not for coats... it was for people's spikes, chains, and etc... but no worries... the fans are a bunch of decent people, and there was no trouble... can't wait for the next tour!

These are very high quality pictures and video shots from the Vancouver show on the 26th. I posted a link to yousendit.com so the DL will only last for so many hits. If you do get this file and someone requests it, please share and resend. Enjoy! This show kicked so much ass.

It was around 3:00pm...I was wandering around Pacific Coliseum and came around to the area where the tour buses where parked. There was about ten or so people standing around. I walked towards the bus that was parked behind a baracade just as Trent was coming out. I walked towards him and he came right up to me with a felt pen ready for autographs. My friend asked him if he could take a pic of us together and the security guard said no, but Trent said it was fine which was cool. So I pulled him next to me as close as I could, (he didn't seem to mind at all, and actually rested his chin on my head which was heavenly to say the least...sigh!), and my friend took a couple of pics of us looking really cozy. It's kind of funny because I took the pics to work today and jokingly told everyone that he was my new boyfriend (I Wish!) They don't know who he is and believed me and said how "cute" and happy we look together...lol!

Anyways, it was a great moment for me. I didn't see anyone else from the band. It was just pure luck that I was at the right place at the right time. Hope you get to meet them oneday to!

I snuck my camera and got badASS shots...I'm tellin ya tuck it in your crotch...I mean in your underwear over your........

The highest they'll feel up is your inside thighs...I've NEVER had one found...

And did the boys of NIN each go into a bus for a long drive back to California, or did they fly back? I wasn't quite sure. I would have done anything to meet my hero, trent. and Jerome is one sexy machine...I couldn't keep my eyes off of him that whole concert. Well...lucky you. I hope one day my day will come to meet NIN.

It was around 3:00pm...I was wandering around Pacific Coliseum and came around to the area where the tour buses where parked. There was about ten or so people standing around. I walked towards the bus that was parked behind a baracade just as Trent was coming out. I walked towards him and he came right up to me with a felt pen ready for autographs.

Can you post the pics please?

After Seeing the Seattle and Portland show i was really hoping for a different setlist, but the sight and sound of Trent and the gang just made it worth all the money and bullshit people were asking me as i was telling them why i was taking two days off work (You are seeing the same band three times, WHY?) ITS NINE INCH NAILS THATS WHY! And i Just proved to myself that this whole weekend and money spent was just sooooo freakin worth it to me, I saw NIN back in 2000 at the Gorge in WA. These shows were a totaly different vibe that that was just amazing, The Vancouver show was definatly the craziest being almost sold out ((or did sell out, not sure)) but all those AYE! CANADIANS are just crazy, the mosh pit was more intense and the band was definatly not missing anything tonight, I love NIN and i always will, i hope bootlegs start flouting around of Seattle, Portland, or Vancouver, cuz i would pay big to get my hands on any of these epic shows i just witnessed, HANDS FREAKIN DOWN to the WHOLE SPIRAL GIG!!!!!! It was just awesome to realize how kool this fan club is being able to buy tickets to multiple shows before the public just made it more better to be such a huge NIN fan!!!!! THANK YOU NIN for this EPIC WEEKEND I WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!

Yes, sneaking the camera in that way would work. I decided against bringing mine becuase I had a feeling it would get smashed (being on the floor)....but when I was searched she only felt my pockets. I could have gotten away with a lot. Maybe because I am quite innocent looking? Anyway, it's cool to hear that the Vancouver show was one of the crazier shows. It's fun to know what us Canadians are capable of. I had a fucking blast at that concert. I honestly hate getting back to reality. I keep remembering little bits of the night that just mean so much to me! All of you spiral members and just plain lucky fans are...well very lucky to have met the band or whatever else you did!...I hope NIN comes back soon! I will be there for sure!

I would just like to personally thank everyone for their energy, wich in turn enabled me to go right off the wall, it was hard trying to cater to you girlies such as Pam's friend who decided to march with the pigs in flip flop sandals maybe if you lit your doobs the right way you would have a little more sense then that...anyway I was the big guy in the black army jacket with the sleeves rolled up if you danced with me thank you and sorry if I happened to mosh to hard on someone but all in all killer show respectful pit and no deaths ...OHH CANADA!!!!

No no...that was me indeed with the flip flops on. Yes, I know...crazy. You see, when I packed, I was aware our tickets were in section Y where my feet would be safe and sound...but then we ended up with our floors tickets (yah!) and I decided to take that risk. Surprisingly they were completely fine. I think I was stepped on once. Ha...just lighting the doobie backwards was my shameful moment...I felt pretty stupid. Oh well...as I keep saying, everything was worth any pain I was put through, because I was at Nine Inch Nails!

The best show I have seen by far this year, and I've gone to over 80 shows. Set list is right on, and the crowd wasn't bad, the floor was not rough at all! Looking forward to two more of their shows before the end of the year.

By the way, Trent is so sweet. He is my musical inspiration, and did meet him on Monday. Haha, also had a drunk Jeordie the night before. Got to chill with the boys the night before, and the next day at the venue. (was only able to meet Trent once, as everyone knows, he's very isolated.) Anyway, ended up backstage as well and after party (which was lame none the less). Anyone who tells you the after show rocked is lame...just a bunch of girls throwing themselves upon the band and embaressing themselves thinking Troy from QOTSA is part of the band...Trent's usually a no-show anyway.

Anyway, two wicked days with the boys...and an even better show!

may i ask how in the hell did you get backstage? just out of pure curiosity!?

Haha yeah for sure.
The previous night we were with the band...
We had no tickets, gave us some of those, and threw in some passes as well. We didn't find out until the next afternoon...lets just say we were freaking out.

Worked fine for me, but i have a mac, and everything works better with a mac... those are some amazing shots! I was behind the person with the camera for a while, and i saw it get soaked when trent threw his water bottle... madness...

My wife and I were right in front of you (Sec V Row 2 Seats 1 and 2) Those two bitches werre so annoying, all during QOTSA they were talking about giving roadies head to get backstage. they even talked to security to see if it would happen.

Fucking brilliant show though... I drove all the way from calgary for it and was not disappointed in the least.

open up the zip archive and just dbl click a vid, it will extract itself to a temp dir and play. then from whatever you use to play the vid, just go file, save as

i had all the same problems that everyone else did, but this works.

vids are awesome, cant wait to see them in Toronto.

click the link a cpl posts up and download the file. once its downloaded, just dbl click on the file to open it. dbl click the vids folder to open it up. dbl click on one of the movie files. On my computer, windows media player just opened up and started playing the vid. then i went to the tool bar in the media player, clicked file, then save as, and saved it to my desktop.

im using winrar (www.rarlabs.com - its free) to open the zip file, but winzip, or windows default zip program should work too.

would someone please just share the vid on e-mule... cause i just can't get the zip file to work! I open it and nothing is there...

I put up whatever pictures I was able to take up on my MSN myspace page, feel free to check them out.

Also managed to get a couple videos, one is a clip from Wish, and the other is a clip of The Frail. I tried to get it all the way into The Wretched, but I had a body about to fall on me, it was time to raise the arms and watch for the crowd surfers! Here's a YouSendIt link for them.

Great! Thanks! but you have to allow your MSN Spaces profile to be viewed publicly for all of us to see it...thanks again!

I was working that night...in the collesium.

While I was able to watch the concert(security in Aisle Z), I still had to work.
The crowd in Aisle Z were actually pretty good. I've worked the previous two concerts(Gigantour and System of a Down) and NIN was far the best, people and concert-wise.

I snagged myself two t-shirts during my break when they were playing Terrible Lie. After that, I was able to watch the entire show without any problems(everyone pretty much stayed in their seats or standing)

First NIN Concert and loved every second of it.

As for the camera problem, sorry to hear that. They shouldn't have done that.
From what I've been told, personal cameras and video recorders ARE ALLOWED. Professional cameras aren't like a $1000 Sony Digital Cam Recorder or a High-Production DVD Authoring Video Recorder.

Just the regular cameras that are allowed. The ones you use on your regular daily basis. Sneaking one during the body check isn't necessary and you should be allowed to bring it in. But this also depends on the concert manager. Certains concerts allow cameras, while others say "no" to any type of camera.

If you can remember, did the person checking you have a tan-colored shirt on or a blue colored shirt?

9000 was the estimate number of people attending. The stadium looked pretty packed to me. I don't think I saw any empty seats(sold out concert?)

what an awesome job. I was so psyched when I heard NIN rehearsing from outisde. Everyone inside was so lucky! My friend and I stood outside of the doors and sang haha. I heard Sin, Only and March of The Pigs being played (only parts).

"The space you are trying to view may not exist or access to it may be restricted."

me too...oh and by the way...what's this special program I need to see the video. I would love to see it and now it's dowloaded on to my computer...but I don't have a program I need? Shit...

AMAZING pics, Callahan.

And the video at myspace is awesome. Too bad it's not longer! I would love to see footage from that whole concert!

Managed to get the zip file with the pics/videos posted earlier working. Use WinRAR, browse through the zip file to the video or pics folder, then double click them invidually. You can't extract them normally. Terrible sound quality on them though

Myspace video is good... but more concert footage less random kids !

Awesome show.... first NIN show, best show I've veer seen PERIOD.

One part that rocked hard was during "Starfuckers" ( a song I liked way more live than on The Fragile).. during the middle, when the song slows down to the "don't you, don't you.." part... the band slowed it to an atomic level and then just let this guitar and synth chord hang in the air... it sounded totally surreal....

Then the hard part came crashing down again.! This song pretty much ruled live.

Ending the night with "Head Like A Hole" was an awesome choice, one I had to sing along to.

Yeah it was wicked awesome.
The guys are really awesome to hang out with. Not what I expected.

I'm really hoping there's a recording of this one floating around to, This was the first NIN concert I have ever seen, and I would love to get a copy of it.

Wow, I'm really late for this thread but I thought i'd post my few cents here..

Autolux has to be, honestly, the worst band ive ever seen live.. They were just fucking terrible.

QOTSA was bloody awesome.. Great stage presence, And they interacted with the audiance which was awesome.

NIN.. Best show ever.. Pretty much as good as, if not better than the Fragility tour that came through Van a few years back.. Every song was top notch and awesome.. so fuckign awesome..

also, thanks for the pics everyone, i didnt think i'd be able to bring a camera in so I didnt even try...

i swore they played complication

I know this is about 2 and a half months too late to be asking, but does anyone know the setlist fr QOTSA and Autolux? Any help would be greatly appreicated!

PS...picture from Bass Tendencies...very, very lucky backstagers with the boys and Nardwuar
