2013.10.15 - Newark, NJ @ Prudential Center

Enjoyed the show from the floor, although I found the floor to be a lot more enjoyable from the soundboard where I went to for the encore (opposed to the middle left side). Setlist seemed a lot different than what has been played this tour which must've been great for those who went to the Brooklyn show. The band sounded great and the effects were incredible, but I don't know, my preference for NIN shows goes to the NIN/JA and Wave Goodbye tours where the setlists were all over the place and the band seemed more vulnerable, which is definitely a good thing in my book. I sure hope they go for a Summer Amphitheater run like they have in the past. By the way that was my 6th show since 2008 and not once I've heard The Wretched. It's not my favorite song but there has to be a super low % of going to that many shows and never seeing it. All and all an awesome tour though, gotta respect Trent for reinventing the band in just a few weeks between tours.

Edit: Oh yes, I loved Trent's brief mention about crazy shows they've had in Newark, I remember watching this one on youtube where TR mentions during the show that their van driver got mugged outside the venue.

This will make my 4th without them playing the wretched. I feel slightly cursed, awesome show otherwise. I don't think I'll ever get seats again though, there's a lot less energy than on the floor.

Great stuff. Went to Brooklyn yesterday; this tonight.

Was anyone else in Section 9? THE ENTIRE SECTION WAS DEAD.
And no, no they didn't come back haunted. Very lifeless around me. At least the guy next to me kept standing throughout unlike others.

hah- how did i miss seeing you in that section, unless you were much higher or lower than we were- we were in row 15 or so... sadly, i had to take a seat for some of the slower songs since i hurt my back pretty fiercely last night (ironically while watching godspeed)... but i kept getting up and getting as into it as i could during some of the standouts.

overall, between barclays and newark, i preferred tonight's set. sure, a little shorter, but i'll take reptile over piggy any day, and the big comedown made up for the lack of the remaining fragile cuts. the encore was better at barclays, but the overall set felt far more coherent tonight overall. definitely my favorite of the NY area shows, and tied with toronto as my favorite of the four shows i got to see... had another nice bonus to end my four show run, but i won't gloat too much.

in two is indeed a highlight. seeing various methods/satellite/etc. over the course of the tour was nice, but in two is the real deal, a perfect balance of the sight and sound...

You may have seen me. I was in row 10 with a shaved head. Every single person to my right was sitting.

I went 8 shows before seeing it live. Fucking Frail intro and then every other fucking song. But when I finally got it, man that was great.

I'm too fucking tired and sore to post right now. I didn't even put up my photos and videos on instagram yet. Awesome show, we got a few tour debuts (Big Come Down, Echoplex, that's all right?) Glad I finally got In Two, one of my 2 favorite songs off HM. Fingers crossed for Satellite on friday and I'll be complete for HM songs live.
