Post if you attended the show.

I attended, alright. It was awesome! The band was really tight, probably mainly because the audience was really into it. People (including me) were literally screaming along and though Roskilde is pretty strict when it comes to security, the people in the pits were going crazy.

Trent really seemed happy and ended the night by stating that Roskilde Festival is one of the best festivals in the world. Not a bad compliment, really. Robin also seemed really into it. Then again, there were probably quite a few other fans there who were relieved to see him with NIN again after the great G'n'R failure of 2006.

I can't recall the setlist order, but I'm pretty sure this is all they played, in no specific order:

Somewhat Damaged
Terrible Lie
Heresy
Metal
I'm Afraid of Americans
March of the Pigs
Piggy
The Fragile
The Becoming
Gave Up
La Mer
Gone, Still
The Way Out is Through
The Day the World Went Away
Non-Entity
Wish
Suck
Burn
Survivalism
Hurt
The Hand That Feeds
Head Like A Hole

I was up front, close to Robin, and had a pretty good view of Robin, Trent and Justin. Ilan was a little harder to keep track of from my spot. However, I did notice that Rob was filming Somewhat Damaged (the opening song), so we'll hopefully get to see that YouTube.

So, yeah, brilliant show - one of the most important concerts of my life. Whoever stated that their performances are off was wrong. They were great and I'm glad I got to see this line-up.

The show was awesome! The setlist was very close to be perfect, in my opinion. I was in the pit on the other side and everyone jumped, sang, screamed etc. Definitely one of the best NIN shows I've attended. Fantastic!

Fantastic set from NIN at a great festival.
First time seeing them in 4 years and they did not disappoint.
They sounded great, especially Robin's guitar playing.
Particularly enjoyed the songs from The Fragile.
At one point in the set Trent looked at someone in the audience and said "What's that you're holding up?", then after a second said "I know that fuckin' picture..." with a wry smile. Would be interested to know what it was!
HEY YO! go in and check this site and be a part of remembering the setlist:

Eller noget i den stil

So that's what it was - couldn't see a thing from my spot! It was great to see that Trent was in a great mood. At one point, he looked directly at where I was standing with a look on his face that seemed to say "why aren't you going crazy?". Which I then proceeded to do. Hey, what the hell, that was my first (and only?) NIN concert ever...

You're right on about the sound - it was amazing. I was very impressed with Robin. His slide work, especially, was beautiful. Though every solo he played was nothing less than awesome. He's really in great shape on this tour.

Also, great to see a corrected setlist, although you're missing Gone, Still. Don't remember when they played it, though.
well, somebody is a jerk on that setlist, cause, i put all the songs, inklusive Gone Still. and sudden some bighead boy. tells me its out of order, when i just put the songs in, and ask for help to recall the order.
AIJ?

but anyway yeah somebody deleted it from the list, i'll put it in.

Everyone was in great shape, but Justin seemed a little, depressed.
his managers boy just died (if you didnt know)

its my second nin concert. unfurtantly...i'd liked to watch them all !

I'm sad I couldn't make it to this show. Between this, and the Arvika and Madrid shows that I went to, it would have been a perfect NIN-summer. Orange stage really is the best, I love seeing bands there, and I can only imagine how awesome this must have been.
