Wow, what a night, my body is desperate for a good rest. I'm sorry to tell you that I didn't take any pictures, it was really tough in the pit at times.
Here's the setlist (not sure about the order):

999,999
1,000,000
Letting You
Head Down (tambourine throwing)
Discipline
March of the pigs
Piggy (the original version, with screen up. Ended with a kalimba played by Trent)
The Frail/The Wretched
Closer
Gave Up
The Warning (a little rectangular portion of the screen on JMJ's side wasn't working and stayed that way during the whole show)
Vessel
Corona Radiata (really short version with TR singing "breathe us in, slowly, slowly" and the screen effect they've been using for The Greater Good)
Pinion/Wish
Terrible Lie
Survivalism (only 4 big screens in the background, 3 of them showing the crowd)
The Big Comedown (no hanging lights but they were recreated on the screen)
Ghosts 31
Only
The hand that feeds (with Bush morphing into McCain)
Down in it
Head like a hole

Strangely, there was no NIN logo on the screen before the encore:

Echoplex
Reptile
God Given
Hurt
In this twilight

This time Trent didn't introduce the band and spoke just a few times, he said "thank you" (more than once) and "I've/We've been here a couple of days enjoying your wonderful city". During Piggy he got off the stage and came close to the rail, not on my side, but didn't stay long.

This was my first time seeing them live and they blew me away. Amazing show with powerful sound and great musicians. I was almost in front of JMJ, one row from the rail and had a great view. Had to struggle to survive most of the time but it was worth it.

Pure awesomeness. Man.

Dani, I think we were pretty close to each other on the show, because I was pretty much on that same spot, just 2 or 3 rows behind you.

Instead of repeating what has already been pointed out, I'd like to add that I was afraid we were going to get a "half-assed" version of what a NIN show is, considering how much TR dislikes festivals and being in South America which makes everything more difficul when it comes to production costs.
I was amazed of having the whole stuff, only a bit smaller. The visuals were truly amazing, and I wish they would have played two shows just to see them from a longer distance and appreciate them more. But I got to see the band from 20 mts, which is way better

Reptile was really a kick in the chest. They turned it up to eleven on that one, the guitars sounded like slashes.
Piggy was a really beautiful treat and I think that, along with Down In It and The Big Comedown were some of the highlights of the show.
Hurt with the band and not the usual TR + piano was incredible... I couldn't believe my eyes and ears.

Those two squares on the front screen never worked, and they as if the had been hit by something because they were not aligned with the rest, they looked bent.

I loved how they left the stage one by one instead of just finishing the song all together and leaving.

The band sounded fucking tight, like a well-oiled machine that goes forward crushing everything that gets on its way.

Low parts of the show? the regular fuckheads in the crowd. Many wallets, cameras and cellphones left the venue with a new owner >:\

The only thing I regret was not bringing something to record the show and provide a better audio source for you guys. But I know that it was filmed in its entirety and that a pro-shot bootleg will surface soon.

I wish they become like Megadeth, The Ramones, The Rolling Stones, and all those bands that are purely in love with us hope they would come in every tour.

Jesus, it's been over 24 hours since the show finished and my whole body still suffers the consequences, haha. No pain no gain and both are huge. But it was well worth it.

meow what is so damn funn

You have described it perfectly. We were very lucky to be there and witness such a great performance, and they played for more than 2 hours!! in a festival!!! I hope they come back on the next tour.

That completely sucks. It's a shame people have to go through that even on a concert.

That's the video I saw on tv last night. Very good quality, too bad they didn't aired it complete. Thanks for posting it!

Two little details about the show I didn't mention before: during The Frail near the end, a plane flew over the stage, not too high. As a crescendo sound of the song was playing you could hear plane noise incredibly sinchronized with music. It was a beautiful moment.
While singing Closer, Trent stood right next to the back screen and suddenly hit it with his microphone. I wonder what was that about, did anyone else see that?

I remember about the plane. Funny thing is, I thought Trent was going to make a sudden stop and say something about the timing of the plane with The Frail and its transition into The Wretched, but he didn't. I assume he noticed it too because after that the piano started to sound way louder.
I didn't get to see what you mention during Closer, but I remember him walking to the back of the stage.

Today I was listening to the recording of the show and I remember how much of a punch was Gave Up. It took me completely by surprise and I automatically looked at Josh to check if he played the intro but no, he didn't play it, it was a sample.
I still think about Reptile and how intense it was. I had a pretty great view of Justin and I could actually feel him playing those chords for the intro as he was spitting them.

Here are two pre-show pics of the stage I took while they were getting everything ready. I know they are not very good ones, but that's all I can offer to the thread image-wise. Sorry I didn't take any more pics, but when I started hearing people yelling they were getting robbed I put my camera in my pocket and didn't take it out anymore.

Stupid pungas always ruining the fun for everyone.

It´s a shame nobody posts anything, but I think we´re all suffering a post-show depresion... It was so amazing, even better than 2005.

If anybody knows where the hell are the videos, please, let us know.

Bye,

Hey everyone! Sorry for the bump but it's worth it! Browsing around I found a PERFECT quality video of the show. Unfortunately there 5 some songs missing at the beginning, but the audio and video quality are amazing. This is not a crowd shot, it's the show as shot by the TV station.
The songs missing are 999,999, 1,000,000, Letting You, Discipline, March Of The Pigs and Piggy.
Audio is soundboard, video is straight from the source, not the web broadcast.

Check for the plane me and Danichmode were talking about during The Frail. You can see it but you can't hear it

Mods if this doesn't belong here please move it where it belongs. I'm sorry for the incovenience.

Enjoy!
