Great concert. Really happy we got The Big Comedown and Down In It, would have loved GDML. And although they don't really change the setlist up so much, this leg probably has the best one.

I thought Bauhaus sucked ass. Good thing I came halfway through their set.

FYI, NIN came on at ~ 9:30 and HLAH finished at about 11.

These guys get better every time I see them.. amazing.

waves of people. just as far as the eye could see.

Trent made an interesting comment about the fact that the stage was so close to the crowd, and it "kinda freaked him out"

I have to say after what feels like a million shows.........Closer hit me really hard tonight for the first time since the early 90's.

I think it is the mesmerizing visuals that are used for that segment.
Don't want to ruin it for anyone, but Trent makes GREAT use of the "organic" background during Closer.

Off to Wantaugh, NY. Catch you all tomorrow.

To start off, The Spiral ticket pickup was one of the easiest things I have ever had to do. Secondly, I love this venue and it sucks that it's in the middle of nowhere and a pain in the ass to get to.

Now to the show...

Peaches was entertaining as I expected. No AA XXX tonight though. Hopefully tomorrow.

I was hoping big things from Bauhaus... wow. Had to be one of the most dull performances I have ever sat through. Peter Murphy did look creepy as shit. Props on the use of the melodica and sax though. I probably will go somewhere else and do something else while they're on tomorrow.

NIN was amazing as they always are. I must say that the live version of Non-Entity sounds killer. I was disappointed by the missing Get Down Make Love but I really can't complain with the show they put on. Everyone was thrashing their ass off. I was surprised when I looked up during Down In It and saw Jeordie just going fucking insane. This one just felt like it was getting better and better. I loved the cage and the lighting and how they were incorporated.
Now for round 2...

Wow. What an awesome show. It was my second time seeing NIN and this show definitely topped Wilkes-Barre.


I didn't really care for Peaches. She didn't totally suck, but I didn't like her, either. Bauhaus were totally awesome, though. Peter Murphy is a great showman, and I had fun watching him dance all over the place. During Bauhaus' set, someone a few rows back from me passed out or something, and they had to be taken out of the concert. They didn't look too good.

NIN were amazing, as usual. I was in section 104 row D, right by Jeordie. Maybe it was my imagination but I'm pretty sure he looked at me a few times. I was a bit bummed they didn't play GDML, but seeing both Down in It and The Big Comedown totally made up for it.

It was a bit of a bitch getting back to the hotel though, because we needed Parkway North, and for some reason the entrance to it from PNC was closed off so we had to get off exit 114 and then turn around. It was a little of out the way but we made it back to the hotel fine.


I met a lot of really nice people at this show. I was the kid in the Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt and tan colored shorts, so if I was talking to anyone on here, give a shout-out. I took a lot of pictures (with a crappy disposable, unfortunately) and once they get developed I'll be sure to post 'em.

10th Nails show, spanning every tour back to PHM in 1990. Another great set, good to hear Into the Void and La Mer (wish Trent would add more Fragile-era songs to the set.) Could do w/o Burn and Closer (even Suck, which I recall seeing w/ Pigface back in the day, I feel should go.) HMIAIH and Non-Entity were fantastic, hope N-E is a precursor for what's to be expected on the new record.

Oh, and Bauhaus were brilliant, great set!!! The reviews here are just ill-informed NIN fans not respecting the roots that brought them to the show last night (like during the NIN / Bowie tour!) Had to laugh, I sat near a teeny girl in a Velvet Undergorund shirt who sat thru the entire Bauhaus set. Lou Reed would be proud . . .

I was in the front row right in front of Aaron. That dude almost kicked me three times. Oh well, I got some of his guitar after he smashed during HLAH.

I wish they played Get Down, Make Love but what can you do.

Overall the show was great; however, being so close I didn't get to see much of the new stage effects.

HMIH looked pretty cool on the side screens. That is all I will say.

If only my IIWIIF had said yes.

Great show, awesome set. 4th show I've seen of the With Teeth tour shows, and this is my favorite one.

Peaches sucked. Bauhaus was annoying. Peter Murphy should do something about the receding hairline and the balding. He looks like's he in his 50's.

As for NIN, great energy! Trent was going nuts the whole time, Jeordie and Aaron were going crazy as well. Loved it. I'm actually glad we didn't get Get Down Make Love, I don't really like that one so much.

Fun show. SICNH always gets to me. I'm a softie.

I LOVED Peaches. I can't wait to see her again on my road trip. Bauhaus was rad as well.

Venue was very cool but a pain to get to, and parking was annoying. We were shuttled around on school busses to get to the cite.

(To the poster above me, ummm, yeah, PM is almost 50. What's your point?)

Alright, the band was amazing--no complaints there. In fact, my favorite part of the show was the beginning of March of the Pigs when Alessandro was doing the synth intro--right before the drums take over he fucking jumps right on his keyboard. I couldn't contain myself and I let out a howl of appreciation. Setlist kicked ass, I adored the Closer visuals (even though they were all awesome) and Into The Void rocked my world (with what seemed like an added part in the beginning of La Mer...didn't recognize the song at first). Again, I'm another dispointed fan who didn't get down make love, but I told myself that 'if I get that or Down In It, I'll be happy.' Also, the way they did Somewhat Damaged was very, very cool, I liked that a lot.

I totally missed Peaches (good thing?), and came in at the end of Bauhaus' set, which I actually enjoyed. Not only that, but I recognized Bela Lugosi's Dead, just because I'd heard it a few days before on that radio performance. This was my 3rd time seeing NIN, and it was rather unfortunate since I came into the whole experience knowing it wasn't even going to come close to my first 2 (Hammerstein GA, PCI Center GA) or even my first concert ever which was AT PNC to see Bowie since I was a lot closer for that one. Not a big deal, though, 'cause we all know how awesome a show the guys put on.

Great show great setlist.... Was it just me or were there alot of empty seats? I was sitting in 104 section, and there was a good amount of seats open, im not use to going to a show and having no one in afront of me back of me or to the right of me. Im not complaining, just found it odd.

I have to say I think this was the best out of the 3 shows ive seen so far. I came to late to see Peaches or the Bauhaus which doesn't matter to me....I think the coolest part of the night was sitting in a parking lot and hearing NiN playing in every car...it was just something that never happens.

P.S. Thank you Mr. Jaegermiester, the Angel with the green bottle who wandered around blessing us and many others with shots!!!!

Just got back to MD from this show, stayed in NJ with a friend.

I do have to say, this show was definitely worth seeing. As annoyed as I was with our seats at first, and the fact that there was no pit, I started to enjoy the fact that I could hear everything clearly, and see all the visuals onstage as well.

The crowd was excellent, everyone seemed to get into it. We arrived a little later than our usual 2pm being as we had seats, and I do not believe there was any sort of spiral pre-show or anything.

I must post this, no offense if she is anyone's gf on here or anything, but there was a girl walking around with a skirt made out of material that had The
Fragile flower on it. That was such a cool skirt, and she was a beautiful girl too, I think I remember seeing her last year in a PHM dress? I dunno. So anyway, no offense intended.

I think at Nissan The Big Comedown and Into The Void really made the show for me, but here it had to be Down In It. The band was so tight during that song, and just generally running around and freaking out. I could feel the crowd getting into it and feeding off Trent's energy. I must say the performance of Down In It will probably be the one that sticks with me from this tour.

I'm a bit sad that my friend and I were only able to attend 2 shows this go-around, and that this will probably be it for a little while. It was a lot of fun, and now I just get to wait for that mysterious next album, and further touring.

I thought Peaches fucking rocked!! She said, 'I know I'm not Nine Inch Nails or Bauhaus but don't let those seats keep you down.' And she did a little strip tease on stage. I enjoyed her set, wish she would have played more songs.

Bauhaus was entertaining as usual, not really my style, but I find Peter Murphy fun to watch.

NIN kicked so much ass last night I don't know where to start.. All of them were going insane, and the crowd was totally feeding off of all that energy! I was 5th row and this venue was awesome. Trent made a comment about how close we all were and I loved every minute of last night. I left sweating and completely worn out from non-stop jumping and fist pumping. I want to say this was the best show I've been to.

Trent came down to the crowd singing in his mic and left it there for the crowd to sing..He threw every water bottle he had into the crowd..I hope sometime in my lifetime I can catch that damn tambourine!! What I would do for that thing..

This show was simply amazing..

One thing I dont get though..why are people always throwing full cups of beer during the set??

this was my 12th show since with teeth came out. quite frankly. possibly my fave nin show. fucking amazing... the only thing that might have topped this was being front row at the second e. factory show when trent was super pissed.


i loved peaches because she was so tacky you want to see it again and again. bauhaus was fucking boring.

i think them having openers who don't belong in daylight in an open ampitheater made nin's set that much better.

the intro to the show blew me away.

i was completely sober. in seats. and during march of the pigs i cut my leg on the seat in front of me. i didn't do anything that bad at shows i've had general admission. it was a really good night.

Every time I see Nine Inch Nails, I love them more and more.

Peaches was awesome. I think I was the only person not right up front who was actually into her. Everyone else just kind of sat there... which seemed to be the thing to do the whole night. Kind of pissed me off... anyway, I'd definitely go see her again.

Didn't really care for Bauhaus. We were bored as hell... except for seeing Trent walking backstage... and the one chick who belly danced throughout the whole set. Oh man, that was quality entertainment. She was pretty good, but it was just odd to see someone belly dancing to Bauhaus. I actually got a video of her too just for the sheer amusement of it all.

Nine Inch Nails was awesome of course. Thank you to the guys who let my brother and me take their vacant seats. Y'all were awesome. Loved hearing Dead Souls, SICNH, Down In It, HMIAIH, and Non-Entity... Burn is still my favorite though. It kind of sucked that so few people seemed to be really getting into the music. I was one of the few people in my section (102) that actually sang along to most of the songs... and that one drunk guy. I was totally surprised that he made it through the whole show.

I got some pretty good pictures in between being harassed by the security nazis for using a digital camera. Here they are:

Peaches


Bauhaus

Nine Inch Nails

Wow, awesome pics, Hunter. I took some pics too, but with a shitty disposable camera. Only four came out, three of them concert photos. I guess I'll post 'em.





Rob:


And finally, my friend Mike and me hanging out before the show:

What a badass show! I was literally 10 feet from Trent (dead center). They were on fire.....

"Down In It" was a great surprise. "Somewhat Damaged" is a nice opener (not quite as good as "Mr. Self Destruct though), and they have finally figured out how to pull off "Into The Void". Does anyone remember when that song SUCKED so bad live that Trent had to take it out of the rotation completely (Fragility 1.0)?

I thought the band looked really good. I like the dynamic of this lineup a lot. Aaron North is one kick arse guitar player. Jeordie was as solid as ever.......

All in all, it is actually sad knowing that I won't be seeing them for a while. The band has come a long way in the last year. I hope Trent keeps everyone!
