Any full songs do you plan on sharing anywhere ?

Sorry I don't have any full songs. Actually that's not completely true I do have The Lovers in full. But due to a sweaty finger or whatever reason the footage is out of focus but the audio is fine. I'll post that if you really want me to just ask. Anyway here's The Great Destroyer (Breakdown) / Burning Bright / The Loop Closes. Enjoy.Any full songs do you plan on sharing anywhere ?

Still coming down from the high from the other night and decided to reup with an account and stop lurking. I haven’t been very active since the YZ ARG, so all this business with the new EPs potentially picking that back up sucked me in.
I’ve been lucky enough to see Trent & Co. six times now and was at one of the Terminal 5 shows, but even this beats that in terms of intimacy. It’s unreal seeing them in a room that size and when Trent came out, I was like “That’s him.” I could actually see him without squinting or with the help of a giant screen.
I had been following the festival setlists pretty closely, including the stuff that was written down but not played, so I pretty much lost my shit when “Somewhat Damaged” started. I feel really lucky to have seen a special show and to get “Sanctified” (which I missed out on last tour) and the debut of “She’s Gone Away.” I would have been curious to see “I Can’t Give Everything Away,” but given the rest of the setlist and the sheer intensity of the show, it’s very difficult to gripe. Given the whole mood of the night, I think dropping “Hurt” made sense. I texted my brother, who didn’t manage a ticket, the setlist and he wrote back “fuck me.” Pretty accurate.
For all the negativity towards “The Lovers” I actually think it works well live and it’s a necessary comedown to survive, especially given how hot last night was. I think maybe it worked better after “She’s Gone Away” over “I Can’t Give Everything Away.”
I caught the Pro Tools rig on the way out and saw that it looked like the show had been taped, which makes sense if they’re intending to do a live video like with the Bakersfield show (I’m hoping the lighting situation doesn’t throw that off). There’s also snapshots for the soundboard that has “The Loop Closes” labeled as “Interlude,” maybe? (Couldn’t get a good enough shot to tell). So, maybe we’ll see other interludes in Chicago or elsewhere? I thought it was interesting it wasn’t labeled by name.
(Leaving everyone in the picture in case you see yourself.)
A friend of mine had never seen them live but has been a fan for a long time and managed to sang a ticket. Hell of a way to get brought up to speed.
I basically echo everyone else. It was hot. It was intense and one hell of a setlist. I absolutely thought someone was going through the floor during “1,000,000.”

Panorama was my first NIN experience, this the second. I was also too young to attend the Fragile era tour and too self-conscious a teenager to go see the With Teeth/Wave Goodbye tours by myself. I feel so lucky to have snagged a ticket to such a small show, I still feel like i'm flying high from last night's energy. I'm so happy I got to witness the power of Somewhat Damaged, WHAT AN OPENER. It met and exceeded all expectation from the live footage i've seen online. And The Wretched, WOW. I'm a sucker for the Broken era, so when Gave Up and Wish came up, I totally lost it. The new songs fit right in with the rest of the set. It's extraordinary to see the band so tight and ferocious and after so many years. I have to say though, the highlight was seeing Finck do his thing. His energy is infectious, watching him contort his face and body as he played elevated my experience to a whole other level! I can't imagine how the NIN show worked without him before. I am so envious of all of you who've seen them play for years now, now I have to try and make up for all the shows I haven't seen.
Also, from the shows I've been to at Webster Hall I can confirm that the floor has always bounced...don't know if that means it was meant to be that way or was built incorrectly...

Now that I'm back home in Texas, I can post more about the show. I'm going to preface this with a non-NIN story. A few years before I was born, my mom had a baby that she put up for adoption. He actually reached out to us three years ago when I was 21. We saw him that year, and haven't seen him since, but we did talk to him often. He lives in Brooklyn. So when Panorama got announced, it was a perfect opportunity. My mom (who is also a big NIN fan) and I flew up on Thursday and met my brother and spent most of the last several days with him with the exception of Panorama since he's not a big NIN fan. So we walked by Webster on saturday, and I looked at my mom and brother and said "I would fucking kill to see NIN in that club." I even posted that on my snapchat story. So fast forward to monday morning. I woke up at 10:18ish and saw that the show sold out and I was devastated. But my brother is awesome and convinced me to find a way to go. He knew I had to go to Webster, so I managed to score a 200 ticket on Ebay to solo the show. It was worth every fucking penny. I didn't particularly care for Tobacco. I did look up at the balcony and saw Trent take the picture that he put on his instagram, so that was cool. The forty minutes between Tobacco and NIN took forever. But holy fucking shit, when the lights went out and the chirping sound at the beginning of Somewhat Damaged started, I fucking lost my mind. I never believed that I would get to see my all time favorite band in such a small venue, as they never play tiny venues like that in Dallas. That was the first show in years that I had absolutely no idea what was going to be played. While the set wasn't as long as I was hoping for, it was awesome still. Somewhat Damaged, Reptile, The Wretched, Sanctified, and The Great Destroyer were my highlights. Easily the best show I have ever been too.

I'm surprised anyone managed to take a decent photo/video. This place was a STEAMBOX. I was 3rd back from the rail in the center and I left that place completely drenched. My fingers were even all pruney. The energy from the band was amazing along with the sound. SD,Reptile,Burning Bright, and The Wretched sounded absolutely INSANE. Such a mixed crowd and thats great to see. Sad to see that scalpers made a killing off these tickets but glad the fans that bought them through them got it in. I had to show my ID and open my ticketmaster app to prove to them I was the one who bought it. I hope they do more club tours next year and not just stadiums.

Flew in from Toronto for the Allesandro Cortini gig, and Panorama. Heard a rumour that something special was going to happen, so I decided to extend my stay for an additional night, y'know, just in case. After the show at Panorama, travelled straight to Webster Hall. Sat myself on the front step at 1:00 AM, and just waited...
Best decision ever.

I think you spoke to me before the show around 4pm. Were you wearing a QOTSA shirt? You asked me when the people that had been lined up since 1am across the street could get in.

That was me

Were you also at the Niagara Falls QOTSA show? I bought the same shirt there. Small worldThat was me

Small world indeed! Rapids Theatre is only a 90 minute drive from Toronto. That was a no brainer. Killer show as well!
