that's awesome.

Went to the San Antonio show Thursday night with my wife and three friends. Of the 7 times I've seen them this was by far the best show visually and acoustically. It was the first NIN concert for all 3 friends and they all agreed it was one of the best they've seen. Hope I get to see them again soon.

Can't wait for Columbus and Ft. Wayne on the 17th and 18th. 4 shows this tour, isn't too shabby for me these days. I'm old now :(

Has the setlist changed any for this leg of the tour?

We went. Brilliant show and performance but inexplicably cut short by two songs (The Big Comedown, Reptile). The screen was FUBAR for Echoplex as well. We didn't realize it during the show of course, but it kind of stings when you read set lists from other shows or about the awesome lasers during Echoplex.

The crowd was very small. The stage was drawn forward, the upper deck was covered by a curtain, only a handful of people were in the club seats, the lower level was not full, and the floor was only half full. I can see why I pulled front row in the pre-sale.

I saw them in Nashville on Halloween and it was an awesome show. I saw them back in 05 as well but the digital effects on that bad ass screen screen blew the 05 show away.

I will pray for bluray

I'll pray for anything. I missed the Columbus....and Cleveland....and Toledo shows and now I'm kicking myself in the ass for it. I wish I would have seen one of them, this tour seems to be seriously fucking bad ass.

Well it was before I was really big into NiN. But now I ended up buying four of their CD's and the AATCHB DVD. I'm addicted right now. :D

You don't need to pray for BD with Trent. It's a given.

Kiss our dreams good bye

File this one under lost opportunities.

I'm very proud of the show we've put together for this tour and have been working hard the last few months to find a way to capture it. I had an amazing situation lined up that would have allowed me to film the show in 3D with James Cameron's team for a theatrical release as well as DVD / BluRay, etc. We had an extra date added to the tour that we were going to give away all the tickets for and have a filming party / thank you show.

I made two critical mistakes. One was to approach a certain record company that owns some of the song rights about producing / funding. The second was to allow said company to fuck around as usual for months before saying um... no. We then achieved the impossible by finding alternate production / funding but the timetable is too rushed to get it filmed comfortably with the remaining time left on the tour. This tour and a lot of the personnel involved finish at the end of this leg, so we can't push filming into Jan / Feb.

Deep breath...
This was an amazing tour and production - certainly the best thing I've ever been involved with and likely the final tour for NIN on this scale. Thank you to those who came out to see it and forgive me for having a Kanye West moment, but this was FOR SURE the best show of the year and any bullshit end-of-the-year poll you may read in the next few weeks that says otherwise simply has it wrong. Those of you who saw it know I'm right.

The shows we have announced in 2009 and any more that may be announced will be a completely different approach with some different personnel and will likely be the last for the foreseeable future.

my commentary on the bold: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NO! They said they were going to build an even more powerful Brain and make the show even better! Ugh... Oh well, at least I'll have seen it twice. 12/12 baby!

And I owe it all to JohnCU. :beer:

I took a shitload of videos, but I think only one or two were good enough to post. The sound is simply distortion and the video is jumpy because I was in the pit, but it's still bad ass.
