Man what's this?!? More than 12 Hours since NIN rocked the Hurricane and no replies??? Is everybody still busy removin the crusted mud? ;-)

What a great show!!!
Setlist was killer!
But it left me sad as it's slowly starting to sink in that these are the final times i'm gonna see nine inch nails... two more shows left for me!

My shot at the setlist (i'm pretty sure i screwed the order)

Somewhat Damaged
Terrible Lie
Heresy
March Of The Pigs *
The Frail/Metal
Afraid Of Americans
The Becoming
Burn
The Fragile
I Do Not Want This
The Downward Spiral
Gave Up
Survivalism
Echoplex
Wish
The Hand That Feeds
Head Like A Hole
Hurt

* After MOTP he talked to the audience and he made clear that the show would not be a "best of" set (depends on the point of view i guess ;-)) and that they'd be playing songs they like to play
everyone who'd like to stay was welcome the rest was to told to catch "some shitty music" on the other Stage (Die Ärzte were playing)

And it worked!
The crowd was great and the set was received verry well at least where i was standing
Trent himself seemed to be pleased with the crowd and it seemed like he was having fun! ;-)

my personal Highlight - The Fragile! I love that song and I finaly got it in the non accoustic version... and I liked the crowd chanting along
Now I'm (kinda) looking forward to the Shows in Düsseldorf and Berlin

A show like a punch in the face, incredibly great setlist for a festival show. Just wish it had been darker at 9pm, the light show was somewhat unspectacular at dusk.
Really looking forward to Berlin, can't believe it's gonna be the last one for a while...at least...:(

"We're not gonna play any hits, we're gonna play what we want. If you want to stay here, we'll have some good shit, if not, there's some terrible shit on the other stage."
That was definitely great (and having Die Ärzte playing on the other stage provided an idiot-free audience which was pretty nice as well).

I have a feeling his Speech regarding Die Ärzte goes back to 2007's Frequency festival where they played just before Die Ärzte went on stage...the rest is NIN history ;)

AFAIR Die Ärzte also made a little fun of NIN and Trent that day.
Bricklayer
Of course it does. He probably asked the organizer to play at the same time as DÄ to be sure to not have any of their fans in the audience ;)
Bricklayer
Though I would have liked to see Die Ärzte (I know, I know absolutly no match for NIN but they can be fun) it was definitly a wise decision to have the two bands play at the same time (on seperate Stages ;-))!

It sure contributed to NIN having fun playing at a shitty german festival ;-)

Did anybody get what exactly Trent said about playing in Germany, right after MOTP? (I was talking to a friend for a second - checking back if she "survived" MOTP - so i missed it)
Bricklayer
He said "That is a nice moshpit" while pointing to the front part of the crowd and then he said "Seems I have been wrong with Germany". :)
