Short but brilliant set. Tonnes of energy and due to their sharing a timeslot with the festival headline act (The Killers) the crowd was concentrated NIN fans. Fantastic!

Awh, fuckin', fuckin', fuck. T'was brilliant!

See you next Wednesday!

See you next Wednesday

Great show, but very disappointed by the setlist. Reznor put his heart into the performance though, and that's more important than anything. That's all.
Had some retard in front of me being a guitar, take Wish for example: "nah nahnah nahnah nah nah nah nah, nah nahnah nahnah nah nah nah."

Ouch. Yeah I had some girl behind me scream "Johnny Cash did it better" every time Hurt went quiet enough for people to hear her. Broke the mood pretty badly.

They seemed to like us though. Rob Sheridan said we were a great crowd on the photo blog.

I was only disappointed with the setlist because it was a bit short but I guess that's festivals for ya, or just Oxegen. What was played was brilliant. The Becoming, The Big Come Down and Burn - three I was hoping for one after the other??

Balls, double post.

This including SINCH before it was the highlight of the set for me, and The Becoming was the absolute highlight for me. The mixing was excellent also, some parts were way more powerful than I thought being live would allow for. I didn't see Rob anywhere, and there was no onstage filming, but it's evident he was there since the photoblog posts were in his name. What else; During Hurt, the crowd couldn't hold a clap to save the bunch of them. And surprisingly to me, a lot of people around me didn't seem that into it, or maybe I was just too into it. Oh yeah, and the steam that was rising from Trent looked fucking awesome.

I told a friend a month or so before that my plan was "Go to Oxegen, watch NIN, rock the fuck out, go home." Mission accomplished

YES!!

And the clap was pretty embarrassing I must say (but also humorous)

Queued all day at the second stage and got centre barrier. It was a REALLY good setlist and performance from the entire band (TR seemed to enjoy it a lot) but far too short.

After 17 times, this looks like my final NIN show (unless I can get to NY). And so I bawled like a girl at the end of Hurt. It was really strange not being there with my normal NIN buddies. Also, that version of SICNH was awesome.

Considering he's only ever played here twice over 20 years, I thought he would of played a longer set...disappointing

I thought they played here in the early nineties? He said something about it at Marley Park.

Yeah he played in '94 aswell, that's what I meant by twice...this being his third time...like I dunno, he's doing a slew of shows in England constantly over all the years and this is the best we get....thought he would of been a bit kinder!

I got most of the set on my H4. It's up in v0 mp3 and flac. Missed the first 3 songs due to settings, SD card change, new batteries, &c.

Kicking myself over the lack of preparation.

Nice recording there! Thanks for sharing

Here's a short and off-centre video I took of 'Home'. It was the first song I'd seen NIN play live so I was a bit... :O and forgot I was holding the camera!
