    Needless to say, he wasn't very impressed by it and truth be told, I'm happy. I'm glad I wasn't part of this mess.
    I still have the hi-rez version.
    Well guess what. On top of that one, I also found this one:
    http://minus.com/lbj4r7u9Huu8v6 - I dug through the emails and I was wrong. This was actually the first version and still is my favorite one.
    http://minus.com/lrgCMllH66hQa - This one is the second version (actually the 5th, cause it went through several changes).

    As always, 300dpi, printer ready. These are for gatefold DVDs, as synthetikz first wanted.

    Wow. This actually happened. They actually released the video before NIN started touring. It's certainly lost the whole finality thing that was a focus but hey... I can actually watch it!

    Expect 10,000 jokes on blogs and music news websites about 'the final NIN show' being finally released a month after new tour announcement.

    sad but true. That would be infuriating and kinda hilarious. Who wants to get a pool going about when we will have Blu-Rays in hand? I'm gonna be optimistic and say June 1st....... 2016.

    just watched Somewhat Damaged and what an intense performance that was. video quality is pretty good although there is a shot from the left side that seems a bit blurry.
    can't really give an opinion on the audio since i'm listening to it on a crappy monitor sound bar.

    Color me impressed. I wasn't expecting an update from these guys, either. I'll have to watch the stream/torrent as soon as I can free up 3 hours (which shouldn't be hard, considering I'm home sick)...

    ...But I won't be fully prepared to eat my words until I have the blu-ray copy in my hands.

    They haven't gotten back to me in a long time. I wonder if they will actually use my artwork for the physical release.

    Started watching it on YouTube, but I had to stop after Somewhat Damaged. The editing is just way off. There's just too much cutting going on. Obviously what kind of footage they got determines the editing style, but I don't think it needed to be like this. I hate to make comparisons (and since I haven't watched the entire thing, I fully admit to being a little unfair), but TOIOU's release of the last Lights In The Sky show was comprised of fan-shot footage and songs that were just as chaotic as the ones from the...ahem...last show, yet the editing was much more focused. This feels sloppy to me. It certainly doesn't feel like something that took nearly four years to complete. I might take some time later to actually sit through the whole thing, but those first two songs were, frankly, kind of hard to watch.

    680 hours per song?! LOLWUT. That has to be a typo.

    I'm pretty sure that's the total amount of time it took to review all the songs, not how much time they spent on an individual song.

    Yeah, a 4/1 release date would have been apropos for this project. That said, I just wish the soundboard mix could have been used to cut the visuals.

    Just spotted Gary Numan sat behind Trent when Trent says 'can't wait for it be over' in the 'intro' clip, he's also the last person walking down the stairs...

    Their new intro page describing all the work that went into the project is embarrassing. It's like hyping all the effort that went into the Boston Big Dig. Wow guys, you spent all those hours, all those back and forth trips, all this time, and this is the result? Oh, but there's more coming, oh! Well then!

    Well, it's not altogether finished. There is no color correction and there isn't a blu-ray...

    They used similar hyperbole at the start when I offered to help them with their copy. I changed it all to proper, factual English, the team loved it, but Sasan rejected it so we're back to "blistering performance". This is basically that opening press release with an overly technical version of the AVOTT release statement as an addendum. For the 2% of people that will read it and understand what DNxHD and interlacing are.

    Also I watched 1m30s of Home and got a headache.

    On that note, I wonder what happened to "100+ rightfully disappointed fans!" and "Uncountable bundles of stolen money - all in unmarked bills!"

    I'm downloading now, but not expecting the Second Coming they're raving about.

    Even if they get to the stage of pressing copies, I still want a refund for my order.

    Watched a few seconds of the Good Soldier and got bored. Aren't there already about three of these performances floating around PLUS isn't the NIN camp in possession of the entire show professionally filmed?

    The NIN camp is in possession of all the club shows with the exception of Webster Hall which is a real shame.

    Yeah - they filmed all the last shows except for Webster Hall. This means that - yes - they also filmed at the Wiltern.
