ETS Tour Journal

(that's Telly Savalas' head on the right btw)

Full setlist on behalf of Naut:

1,000,000
wish
discipline
march of the pigs
something i can never have
the line begins to blur
terrible lie
meet your master
survivalism
gave up
la mer
the fragile
the big come down (FINAPLAFFUDFUPLEGFFUPLEGAAH!!!!!!)
the downward spiral
the beginning of the end
the hand that feeds
head down
head like a hole
---

the frail
the wretched
the good soldier
hurt

My memory isnt the greatest at reciting setlists but I dont think Head Down was played?!

Crowd surfers need to fuck off and die. Seriously, enough already. If you're over 60 kilos your ass needs to stay on the ground.

Wish was awesome so early on, then into Discipline. Major highlight was The Fragile --> The Big Comedown --> The Downward Spiral --> The Beginning of the End. That was just ACE.

Sing a longs were not as good as at Festy Hall the other night. A lot of the crowd was there to mosh/ drink/ surf/ whatever or stuck around after seeing other bands. I have a massive head ache and one ear is ringing like crazy..

I finally caught something, THANK YOU

And a very deserving catcher, you are IMHO

Highlights for me were Discipline which I love and really enjoyed the other night, The Line Begins to Blur, and Meet your Master (I was really hoping to hear that song) Hurt really hit a spot with me tonight too...

Thanks guys you really made me very happy tonight. What a great show to end my live NIN adventures on (for now) I look forward when you return to my city, I hope you have fun in Adelaide and Perth.


As for the crowd surfers- They often hurt people, most of the surfers that I saw come out looked pretty chipper compared to others (including myself) that I saw cop a foot or whatever in the head or neck.

The Big Comedown was awesome ;)

Fantastic show - loved that circle pit that opened up during Gave Up. Kinda liked the Festy Hall setlist better, but The Big Come Down justified my Soundwave ticket purchase!

HUH ?? What's the FINAPLAFFUDFUPLEGFFUPLEGAAH ??

Was a great set - pretty big crush during WISH (2nd song) - better start to the set than Festival Hall (with 3 songs from The Slip).

"The Line Begins to Blur" was awesome - and thought Trent nearly had a tear in his eye during "SINCH" - just amazing...

The mosh during Head Like A Hole was huuuge ! Not too many meatheads or rough moshers - they woulda all been at Lamb Of God !

Another brilliant show - a bit different to Festival Hall - good to have a few different songs - Terrible Lie too !

my first time seeing NIN, fucking brilliant. THE BIG COME DOWN!! did anyone else see the security guard put the tambourine Trent had just thrown back on the key board and Trent smack it away?

Setlist was tits best so far, loved hearing the bigcomedown and meet your master. Tight show from the band and good respectful crowd. Soundwave festivals have been a pleasant surprise. MOAR LATER

Where was "BURN" in among the setlist ?? I remember that - the mosh went OFF !!!

It was an awesome show. One of the best festival performances I've ever seen (along side QOTSA in 03). Was my 3rd time seeing NIN, first in 05 & then 07, and they played amazingly well. Highlights for me were 1,000,000 Wish, Meet your master, la mer, the fragile, the big come down, the downward spiral & head like a hole. The stage set up was amazing, the lights blinding at times. I had a few friends there who weren't NIN believers until Trent blew them and every other band away. There was alot of activity on stage with various band members moving through various stage equipment. All current band members were awesome although I do miss Aaron's stage antics too. Alice in chains were great & the new singer sounded awesome.

Best setlist of the tour IMO.

HOEDOWN!!!!! muthafuckers!!!

this was completely my favouritest NIN show ever. loved the setlist and was lucky enough to have a good spot near the rail by jmj where there weren't too many dickheads around thank god. (was kicked in the head twice during bloodhound gang's set.... probably my own fault for going to watch bhg...)

also, much love to the security there who were actually more interested in looking after people rather than being complete nazi's....

Easily.

And quoting Silence of the Lambs in the pit was grand, too.

I guess this show was pretty alright. IF YOU LIKE MUSIC THAT SUCKS LOL

There weren't too many YZ/TS songs, which was nice. I was jonesing for some hot Sin or Getting Smaller acton but I somehow managed to get by without them. Drinking $50 of pre-mix booze probably helped.

To be fair the Soundwave line up was announced back in August last year or something.

55 minutes of the Melbourne Soundwave show can be found here:

Not the complete set obviously, but a very good listen. TLBTB and Meet Your Master are very cool. MP3 only atm, but flac's will be coming soon and available for trade. Taper is a super nice guy.

Jaguar Love's set is there too.
