Cold and Black and Infinite Fall Tour - 2018 Live Tour Discussion

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

Well, Louder than Life is 90 minutes away and I have money and personal time, so I'm going. That will be 3 NIN shows for me. It's a testament to how far I've come as well as just a lot to look forward to in a few months. I have squeezed in 2 shows in one year only a couple times in my life. Plus, I'm going to do 2 different cities right in a row. Hope I don't fall down the day after.

Sounds like a blast! This will be the first tour since the final Wave Goodbye tour that I've been able to see multiple shows - I have tickets to the two at Red Rocks, and I'm gonna try to get one to each night of Chicago if I can. I'm gonna be seeing FIVE freaking shows on this tour, and in the month in between Red Rocks and the Chicago shows, I'm hoping to see Gorillaz (either in Chicago, LA for Demon Dayz, or Montreal). Fall is gonna be absolutely packed with shows this year, and I'm finally at a point in my life where I can (barely) afford to do most of it. Worth every penny!

I'm so stoked for this tour. It seems like gonna be a special one. All the emphasis on giving people a real and personal and human experience has me curious about a lot - Listening stations? Exclusive merch? Production? Cell phone/camera policies? Band members?? (I actually hope the band lineup stays a surprise until the Las Vegas shows. I'd love watching this forum blow up in real time. Just like old times! )

I kept myself away from setlists and even stayed off this board in 2009 to be totally surprised by everything. It worked. And it was my dream setlist, down to order, at the time. I don't know if I'll be able to stay away - especially since I really wish I were going to Meltdown, and it will be just about impossible to keep away from the curiosity.

VNV says they're coming back too. I don't know when yet. I'm going to hit multiple times, if they are viable. I also saw another favorite (Marillion) at the start of the year. This will be a good year of shows for me, too.

That would be quite a trick.

Like, for all the other shows, everyone has to wear a blindfold the whole time.

Whoops! Definitely meant Las Vegas, not LA. That's what happens when I get sidetracked while I'm typing, heh.

[implanted_microchip]

I’d be very surprised if the lineup isn’t identical to last year. Trent even said at the Reckless Q&A that that lineup is the band as long as they’ll put up with him.

[sick among the pure]

Yeah, unless told otherwise, NIN live is the same people now.

[WorzelG]

I've got a week and a half till the Meltdown / Royal Albert Hall weekend, do i look at spoilers or not ? At least I've got the Rolling Stones on Friday to keep me occupied

[somewhat_]

More dates announced for SF, LA, NO, and Brooklyn.

[spahn]

Got excited when I got the notification this morning in hopes for a FL stop and then disappointment set in.

[suprefan]

Another opener added to the mix. The Soft Moon opening the final 2 dates in Los Angeles.

[theimage13]

I'm missing Boston by one day.

Sees announcement of shows added. Gets excited. Sees dates first. Gets more excited. Sees cities...


....goddamnit, Trent.

Awesome band. I’m very tempted to hit one or both if those LA shows (particularly Saturday).

[davemuzik85]

Physical World Presale again???

[Kid A]

Physical World Presale again???

Doesn't look like it

[imail724]

Any presale at all?

[tony.parente]

Nice to see Los Angeles getting some much deserved dates. They never get nin tours.

[Toadflax]

Guys, this is fucking bonkers.

I gave absolutely zero thought to the theory that this would be another farewell tour, and I still don't really think it's the case, but six shows in the same city? I mean, why?

Also, how fun to be a ticket holder to the last show of the tour only to find out I'm not anymore.

I'm honestly kind of worried it could be a final tour. It might just be the final tour of NIN as a rock band for all we know. He has always talked about stripping things down, but never really does. I'm considering buying a ticket to the last LA show and making the trip just in case.

.

I does give off a sort of farewell feel doesn’t it? Oh well, to look at it positively - it seems like they will have to be changing up the set lists somewhat drastically from night to night.

[Toadflax]

^^^ On the other hand, Trent said they were inspired to do this tour by LCD Soundsystem, and they did the same kind of thing last year. I just looked it up, and LCD did TEN shows in Brooklyn and five in LA last year, so maybe nothing to worry about.

Money? Seems way easier to stay in one place than to travel each night. I would do it.

[r_k_f]

Hmmmm... Kings Theatre is pretty cool, I was just there last month to see Joe Rogan. Beautiful place.

[ryanmcfly]

I expect to buy tickets for the last la show, then Trent announce some South America/Australia shows in january. That's probably what is going to happen. Fuck it. Still going to try to talk the wife into going to LA

[roolfdriht]

It's probably a hallmark of addiction that my reaction to more shows is simultaneously "YES!" and "UGH, how do I rearrange my life to make this work??"

Oh yeah. It's tough because my wife does not like NIN. I mentioned the shows earlier, and she said I was already seeing them enough. So perhaps I can convince her to take this trip and we can go do other things and make it a fun trip for both of us.

Every once in a while comes a time when I have to ban myself from ETS as to avoid setlist spoilers. Thank God there's a World Cup starting tomorrow, which I'm gonna fully commit myself to for a time being.

yup, it's that time again.

Ooooh thanks for that! I'm definitely gonna use this. I also like being surprised by the setlist. The only thing I'll look up is how many songs the bands are playing to get an idea, but otherwise, I want that feeling of recognizing a riff and shouting "OH SHIT!" when a song comes on.

I have no idea how I'm going to suppress the urge to check until October. Already resigning myself to failure...hahaha
