ETS Tour Journal

Post your reviews here.

Thought it was a great show, the crowd seemed not very into it though, where I was seated my friend and I were the only ones standing / getting into it, everyone else looked deadpan and sitting.

Extremely pumped to finally see Somewhat Damaged, Into the Void, and Down In It.

Going to the show Friday at Tweeter, hope I get to see Reptile, last time was at the Orpheum last year.

I believe the setlist was as follows:

Somewhat Damaged
You Know What You Are
Sin
Terrible Lie
March of the Pigs
Something I Can Never Have
Closer
Burn
Gave Up
Help Me I Am In Hell
Non-Entity
Even Deeper
Only
Wish
La Mer
Into the Void
The Big Come Down
Dead Souls
Get Down Make Love
Down in it
Suck
Hurt
The Hand That Feeds
Head Like a Hole

I'm not 100% sure on where "Even Deeper" was in the setlist. I wasn't expecting to hear it and was taken completely off guard, I'm pretty sure it's close to where it was if not spot on.

Overall the show was great, the band was defintiely very energetic (as always) and Trent made a few comments about how this was a makeup show, that he hates to cancel shows but he was sick as hell, and that he was glad we still showed up.

It was pretty funny seeing the band screw up "The Big Come Down". At first I thought it was some kind of radical reworking of the song but towards the end I was like "They must be fucking up because this doesn't sound very good". Trent joked about it saying something to the effect of "Well we were just really excited to makeup this show for you guys and as some of you noticed we totally fucked up The Big Come Down, but that's kind of cool because not every crowd gets to see us fuck up and you guys can say 'Hey I was there when Nine Inch Nails totally fucked up The Big Come Down!'". That elicited a chuckle or two out my brother and I.

The only thing that brought the show down for me was the fact that half the crowd was sitting down throughout. C'mon people, this is a fucking rock 'n roll show here, stand the fuck up and get into it! Have you ever seen people headbang while sitting down? There's just something not right about it...

This was my first nin show, waited 12 years for it!!! well worth the wait...I believe there is not a show out there that engrosses the scenses quit like trent does...The Gated curtain was the radest thing i've even seen at a show!!! Trent was right on the money too! He sounded much better than on the Fragility tour (from what i saw on AATCHB) That was just the most amazing thing ever....

The setlist above is close but the order of some at the end is a bit mixed up. (But even deeper is in the right place.) here's the correct order:

setlist 8:32-10:18pm

Somewhat Damaged
You Know What You Are?
Sin
Terrible Lie
March of the Pigs
Something I Can Never Have
Closer
Burn->
Gave Up
Help Me I'm in Hell
Non-Entity
Even Deeper->
Only
Wish
La Mer->
Into the Void->
The Big Come Down
Dead Souls
Suck->
Get Down Make Love
Down in It
Hurt
The Hand that Feeds
Head Like a Hole

Amazing show. Been seeing NIN since '91 but this was the best visual presentation yet. And the longest setlist of this leg of the tour so far.

The security was pretty annoying, there was plenty of room on the floor for more people. Didn't really matter though, lights went out and I was over the wall :)

Damn I want Trent inside me.

Man. Bummed out this morning. We tried to miss the openers (no interest), and arrived during Wish, not knowing how long they'd been on stage. The show ended about 45 minutes later.

Did Peaches & Bauhaus have short sets? Quick changeovers?

Would've killed to see "Terrible Lie," but most of my favorites were really in the part we caught.

Great show and setlist. The band had tons of energy and Trent seemed happy with the crowd. The pit was crazy, so I'm surprised to hear seats were lame.

Trent came down to the pit at one point (sorry, I forgot to which song) with his guitar. Some lucky bastard behind me got it.

Before the show we were "treated" to short bus antics. Go to the Spiral if you want details.

And, Bauhaus didn't perform (they did a show in NY), so Peaches was the only opener. Her drummer, Samantha, is so freakin' badass.

This was my 6th show and I thought it was bad ass. So pumped to see somewhat damaged. I was dissapointed that he didn't do all of La Mer. The fact he was so humorous about the fucking up of the big comedown was utterly awesome.

Can't wait till tomorrows show.

Peaches actually performed? What time did they go on? I got there around 8(doors opened at 730 right) and I didnt see any sign of peaches having performed...

I will be putting up some AMAZING videos tonight! You might have noticed me....I (brown t-shirt) was maybe between 10-15 rows in the very center with my digital camera always in the air and constantly taking videos. Haha Well worth the sore shoulders!

Yeah, my bad, I put Suck in the wrong place. I was going on memory so I'm amazed I got it as close as I did.

Get Down Make Love was after down in it i believe

Where will these videos be found?

I'm in the process of uploading these videos as I type. They will be on youtube.com and I will put up another post with the video URL's. They are 30 second videos and they are pretty damn sick on how good they came out!

Awesome fucking show last night by the way... Highlights for me were Only (the crowd went crazy for this song tonight!), Closer, GDML, Suck, Down in it, Dead Souls. Everything was great, but those really stood out to me last night. Can't wait for Mansfield tomorrow

Here is one for a tease....

Great show.

What made it even better was that it was my 21st birthday.

What was somewhat of an inconvenience, was the wound my forehead sustained. I crowd surfed non-stop for the last hour.

Sorry guys, I know how annoying that is, but I had a fuckin blast. I also appologize for any blood that was left on any of you. I didn't realize my head was bleeding so profusely until a security guard grabbed me and brought me to the EMT room.

No harm, no foul.

'Even Deeper' was a nice surprise, but the highlight was 'Down In It'.

See eveyone tomorrow ... feel free to say hello. I'll have the small indent directly in the center of my forehead.

That came out awesome, I can't wait to see the rest! I'm curious, are you breaking these up? Do you have a lot more footage that you're not uploading? If so, I'd like to talk to you about possibly getting these burned onto a cd or dvd.... hit me with a pm.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen! the show...its a tie with the orphium show. i was right up front for the whole thing, fucked up my ribs and hurt my back pretty bad, but it worth the 3.5 seconds of eye contract i made with T.R. haha. THe setlist was great, nice treat of hearing Even Deeper. So before the show waiting in the Spiral line, the people were awsome "Greasy Penis" and Beer Can Vagina" a choice few will understand what im talking about. So we get let in before everyone else, and we are waiting round and Alessondro walks by, we cheer, he leaves. Next to walk by Aaron North, we cheer, he smiles, he leaves. Alessondro come back out with pudding, we cheer even loader, he leaves the pudding we are over joyed. Ali and Aaron come back with a basket of veggies and toss it into the group of people, they leave and Josh Fresse comes out, we cheer again, he leaves, all three come back out with a tray of fruit, cold cutts and bread and toss them into the group of us. We clap and cheer, they laugh and then they leave. We start of chant for Jordie, he finally makes an apearence. So then Aaron comes out in a over sized t shirt and a huge red cowboy hat that says TEXAS in big letters, and the plucks 2 from the group and they hold a bread eatting contest. it was so random and awsome. it was dubed the "2006 eat n greet" im not making this shit up. Peaches was a dittry whore and i loved her set. I was behind the lucky bastard(aka ponytail boy) who got trents guitar. i got to touch it. im glad he got plucked out, cuz he pony tail kept hitting me in the face,a nd then i got to be on the barrer. the crush at times was almost unbarable. BUT being that close was amazing, the show set list and the band were all...no words as to how mad crazy cool everything was. thanx to the cool people in the spiral line
SCOTT!!! haha. totally forgot to menton about Aaron jumping into the crowed during Sin...totally got kicked in the head haha

The portland show was only my 2nd of the tour. Saw them in Boston last fall and this show BY FAR kicked serious ass. I was rather dissapointed in the crowd. I was also one of those standing up screaming the lyrics jumping dancing. It was so awsome. I was in section W right by Jeordie. At the end of the show, some security guy give me a guitar pick cuz he said he was impressed that I knew all the words (yeah almost all of them). But I suppose they hand those out by the dozens. Anyway Fucking awsome show. I can't wait for Mansfield. I am so jelous for the spiral people - sounded like a kick ass time. TRENT IS GOD

Here are some more. Sorry about last night...had 2 and half hours of sleep than went to work so I passed out!

More to come... getting ready to head to Mansfield. I'll be in Sec 2, Row T, (Seats 25, 26) Me and my friend will both have Orange Nails shirts on from this leg of the tour. Pay a visit if you can...especially hot chicks!

~Unfortunately they are all only 30 second clips. If you still want a CD burned of all the clips I have let me know. They are crystal clear and youtube doesn't give it justice.

My first concert, and it was awesome. <3~
I'm a bit dissapointed not to hear some songs.. but oh well. Still great!

Oh, and about the 'standing up thing', sorry! I should've stood up but I was.. too.. lazy. D: I was in seats 1 + 2 in section F.. so high up, I couldn't see Trent so well. lol.

haha, the 2006 eat and greet. Lets just say, I was the guy in the white shirt that ate half a loaf of bread to get backstage to meet the band. The other guy (sean) and I had to eat half a loaf of bread each, Aaron however was then nice enough to bring us back to the NIN lounge (which Jordie and Allissandro were chilling in) and give us soda and backstage passes for after the show. I got a picture with aaron after the show, and a signed promo picture from the whole band. Totally worth it. Also, if you want to see where I was standing the whole show, check out the pictures on the NIN web page gallary (Rob's pictures that you can buy) the last picture in the gallary has trent and the audaince, I'm the guy in the white shirt in the front row wiht my arm up, I'm pretty sure I'm giving trent the finger at that point, but it's totally out of love.

Amazing fucking show people, amazing.

Also, got backstage passes for 2 friends that hit the Canada show, to pay them back for driving me, feeding me, and putting me up for the night at the saratoga show. Great show there too.

I was at this concert, and it fucking rocked!

My very first concert, and I was not disappointed.

And about the "standing up" thing, I was in Seat 5, Row N. I was directly across from where Trent was standing directly in the middle of the arena-thing. A few times, like during Wish, The Hand That Feeds, Into The Void, and Head Like A Hole [to name a few] I totally stood up and rocked it out. Mind you, I looked like a complete freak because no one around me stood up...

Reguardless, this was definitely the highlight of my life. Until I manage to get to another concert. It sucks Trent won't come to the East Coast of Canada. Halifax could really use the talent..

-iNothing

P.S. Does anybody here have an extra lithograph from this show? I didn't get the chance to buy one there because I didn't think I had enough money, since American money is deceiving like that... Also, anybody with pictures/audio/video I would love you so much if I could get some of that. And to the amazing dude that made the 30 clips of the concert, would you be able to send me those?
Thanks in advance..

BAUHAUS DECIDED NOT TO PLAY.

So didn't matter because NIN rocked my face off... Incredible sound & lights. Saw them in Boston with QOTSA & this show blew that one away...Trent was awesome, so glad they cancelled the 1st time because I didn't have tix for that 1. The lightshow was shrooooomtastic.

I thought the 6/21 NIN was intense to say the least. I too was astounded how so many folks just sat on their hands throughout the show. I wound up getting down on the floor and jumping around. Man being 38 myself I felt like the old guy in the crowd but at least I was acting like it was a rock show! I would definited see them again in a minute. I thought the finale of playing Head Like a Hole was one of the best concert moments for me.

Does anyone know what happened to the kid that got taken out by the paramedics? Or how about who puked on the floor?
