You have forgotten Closer, and it was not Pinion but Help Me I'm in Hell.

I don't recall the complete order, but the first 6 (after the Pilgrimage intro) were:

Mr. Self Destruct
Heresy
Last
March of the Pigs
Piggy
The Line Begins to Blur

What I posted on The Spiral:

My first NIN show... And what a show. Amazing energy. Nice setlist, great sound. Ladytron was OK (the guitar player looked like he was stoned, though - and really bored to be there). Trent looked happy and mentioned some things about being happy to be in Amsterdam (the crowd cheered, of course). Thanks Trent (and the band), for an awesome show. I wish I could come again tomorrow, but unfortunately I can't... Oh well. Hope somebody recorded the show (I did see some people filming some parts on their telephones).

Just got home after the show - I live about 5 minutes away!!!

The Paradiso is a great venue to see bands: a small former church that doesn't feel like a small club.

This was the best show I've seen on this tour so far. Sat on the upper tier about five feet above Aaron.

Trent brought the houselights up after Wish and introduced each of the band members saying they do all the work and he gets the attention because he looks so damn good. He then announced it was Aaron's birthday and threw a mike into the audience where a cool black woman took it up and sang happy birthday to him. Trent was smiling so much in the resulting Only.

The Beginning of the End was really good, people have said that it hadn't worked so well in previous shows. Well not in my opinion, both it and Survivalism I thought were really cool.

It was weird being seated and about 5 feet above Aaron's head, kind of got to study him and Trent playing and JF was amazing - when they joined Trent on Hurt it was really cool. Only one song from PHM (HLAH)and one from The Fragile (No You Don't) I think ... wonder what we'll get tomorrow.

Wish
Help me 'im in hell

Great show. What amazed me most was the audience trying to shut others up by going ''Ssssttttt'' whenever people started talking or shouting and it worked (yes it did!)

And I'm always a sucker for Burn ....

Survivalism is getting better and better live and I noticed a few variations. Cool.

This was my third and final NIN show and enjoyed this one the most.

One annoying thing: those beertender guys with the big beertanks on their backs ... not a good idea in a somewhat wild audience. I got squashed by a beertank ... oh well .... :)

Saw the first show in Manchester and they hardly touched the overhanging interrogation lights. Tonight they were swinging everwhere during the latter part of the show. Aaron's light, by the way, is dented to fuck unlike the others. Guess it's coming in for some serious mike stand abuse.

Suck was cool, would like em to open tomorrow with Somewhat Damaged and play Gave Up ... but, whatever, I'll be happy.

Oh, and the dry ice was fine and it wasn't like being at a Sisters of Mercy concert for the first few songs!

Bumped into one of them as well. I thought that was pretty stupid. If anyone wants a beer, they can go get it at the bar.

And it was a mess up front during March Of The Pigs. And whoever threw that beer (and those empty cups as well): fuck you.

Ah yes ... thanks for reminding, somebody threw a full glass of beer from the balcony, I got most of it ... ''cheers mate''

They normally don´t have those beer dudes walking around...I was thinking to myself, they won´t survive the night...but I guess they did.

The show was amazing!
I loved the Line Begins to Blur...Best show I´ve seen so far! Tomorrow will be the last show I´ll see of this tour. Really looking forward to it! And at the same time I´m kinda sad...I can get used to this...a couple of NIN shows every week!

awesome show....
the best part for me was the biginning of the end...
no wait, standing in line with spiralers who waited patiently in the cold
but did not get a soundcheck or the rumoured greet and meet....
i got a picture of them, post it tomorrow :D (the door that did not open)

i wrote a note and put my very special Ishtmail patch (one of the first twenty) in it for trent
gave it to the spiral lady so she could pass it on, i hope he is happy with it

the show was really great, i was on the second balkony and had a good view and great sound, though somethimes the vocals went blurry.. or i am getting deaf.

it was a very energetic show, and am a very happy guy now.

en voor de meiden die ik ontmoet heb, het was me een waar genoegen
en vond het erg gezellig. hoop dat jullie trent nog gezien hebben na de show.

I was on the upper balcony, what an amazing show. Much better than 013, Tilburg.

Great sound, great setting, and a Trent who actually seemed to enjoy the crowd, except for those bastards yelling during hurt.

yes, the beginning of the end is so fucking great, the show was so cool, the crowd was amazing !...nice people...
Trent is becoming more a talker in these days it seems :-)....i just thought after HLAH they would come back for an extra song as the band was in such a good vibe.....haha
hope they play tonight the becoming and terrible lie

I loved the show and had an amazing spot. On the first balcony on the right side of the stage, above Aaron. To bad i seemed to be the only one standing on this part of the balcony. It's a NIN concert people!!

I still can't believe we got Reptile. And Survivilism was played hard as hell!
I also can't believe Trent said dank je wel to us once.
Of course this girl had to f*ck up Hurt by screaming after the first part. People around her didn't like it, and some people started talking in the back and where also told to Ssshhhhtt!!!
The applause after this song was huge.

Just one downside: No one really sang for Aaron, except the girl with the mic. Right after Trent said it was Aaron's b-day, it would have been so great to sing all together with like 1700 people. I tried to sing up there, but when no one else was,it was a bit difficult for me to keep singing.

I loved Ladytron, although from up the balcony the voices where a bit quite compared to the loud music. But i definitely bought the album!

And it was cool to see how the people downstairs on Aaron's side wnet out of their mind and really, really seemed to enjoy the show.
I have 3 minute clip of Eraser on my phone. With the UFO lights. I will try to see if i can put it up here or maybe a link. If anyone knows how to do that from a phone, please let me know. I am the worst with all this technical stuff. But the clip is great.

I wish i could go again tonight, but my cousin can't go. Hopefully they will come to London again this summer, because that's where i'll be living from May.

GREAT SHOW!!

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen: it seems like there is some bitch who goes to NIN shows to fuck up HURT because in Brussels we had the same problem.

I never understood why people felt the urge to yell random crap during that song...shut up, be quiet, or go have a bathroom break or get a drink...How hard is it? It's like 5 minutes...very disrespectful towards the band and Trent in particular.

I really enjoyed the show. The setlist was great! I think Mr. Selfdestruct is a great opener, but I got the idea the audience didn't respond too well. Maybe it was because I was at the back, so I decided to move to the front. By the time of MotP I was among the others who sang along and really were into the music :).
I never went to Paradiso before, but I thought the atmosphere was great. Trent indeed seemed in a good mood.
I also liked the cartboard pole representing Trent while the stage was set up.

Open IrfanView. Open your image file. Click Save As in the File menu. Save them as JPG. You should be able to post them now.

Man it was great realizing that when mr self destruct began they were gonna play a downward spiral show! Too bad Aaron didn't throw his smashed guitar in the audience hehe.
Is this show recorded by someone? Or does someone knows where to download it?

Great setlist, Paradiso is great venue but I was nearly caught out by the early start time - 8.30? only the 3rd time I've been there (Ministry and K.Joke were the others), but I dont remember them being as early as that. I only wish they'd announced the 2nd night straight away and I hadnt booked my flight back already.
Enjoyed the 'shh'-ing by people at the quiet bits - I just wish it wasnt necessary - ignorant wankers.
Oh, and 'REPTILE!!!!!

This was my first NIN show and it was awesome! Trent and Twiggy looked at me! :D I was really close to the stage.

Trent's alter ego, the cartboard pole was sweet too.

And Trent's little speech which was something in the line of:
"I like to play in small places like this, so I can actually see you fuckers"
It makes me feel happy to be one of those fuckers. :P

And I was suprised when Trent said: "Dank je wel"

Does anyone remember when Aaron got that pluche monkey thrown at him when Trent announced Aaron's birthday?

Anyhow, I would be interested in a copy of that recording too.
Perhaps it would be easier if it would be uploaded and posted as a link.

I recorded the song with a cellphone, so the quality is shitty. The sound is abit distorted at some parts. But it's in 3gp format. However Quicktime can open them.
