Um, he wasn't real, y'know?

Whoops. It seems I've gotten my ETSers mixed up.


EDIT: DOWN IN IT! It's not the full song, just a a minute or so in length. Make sure you click the "watch in high quality" option.

A full video of In This Twilight will be up later tonight, after I get out of work.

I got to the venue around 5:30 because traffic getting into Philly was fucking awful. The presale line for GA was pretty long, so I didn't think I'd get a spot on the rail like I was hoping, but I did, in front of Robin.

I got there at 4pm and was 4 people back in the center, but I think I would have been better off on the rail to the right. After giving up on trying to defend my spot I was on Robins side like 15 people back and it was so fun to watch him. I am so glad he's back! Thanks for the video of Down in It.

I am in a post show depression right now. I want to go to another one. Having a real life really gets in the way of my desire to follow NIN around on tour!!

First of all... Why the FUCK was someone in a wheelchair way up front in the pit? And why did it take 6 songs (i believe it was during head down) for security to realize she was probably suffocating down there in the pit. I can't imagine how helpless she and whoever she was with. Such as songs like March of the pigs. She was like dead center in the middle, WTF! Bad judgement all around by the people and the staff for letting her down there that close.

Other than that, good shit all around.. couldn't have asked for more.

Fucking awesome show, I was the guy with the boots and WaxTrax shirt front left toward stage, the crowd was pretty mellow, a little too mellow actually. There was this big dumb meathead in front of us with his shirt off hoisting his girlfriend up and spraying sweat, that was somewhat annoying but it didn't ruin anything. What was with that contest going on near the merch stand, did anyone here win something there?

Hey guys. I just listened to ghosts, and I was at thed Philly show.

What we are all listing as Ghosts 31 is actually Ghosts 8. I know b/c 31 is one of my favorites and the song we actually heard is the track that comes right after that kinda electronic/industrial track 7 on Ghosts.

So it should be Ghosts 8.

Also, if you pay attention, Trent is playing "Zero-Sum" at the end of "In this Twilight" as the band members leave the stage one at a time.

Just thought I'd let everyone know.

It was a great show. Loved every moment of it.

That was 5 Ghosts I. I find it helps to associate the Ghosts tracks w/ Meathead's descriptions (in this case, Quentin Tarantino movie/Darth Vader).

It's been said a number of times above, but absolutely incredible show. My fifth time seeing NIN (Fragility once, With Teeth twice, current tour twice), and this was hands down the best show. The band's energy blew away their performance at Virgin Fest and the setlist was far superior. This is the second time I've seen the band in the DC/MD area for one show and the Philly show for the second, and both times the show in PA has been abundantly better.

I was in front of the soundboard as well and got some pretty decent shots, considering the distance. I'll be tied up through Monday, but I will post them to my flickr account next week and link to it here.

feel free to correct but I'm almost certain Ghosts 31 wasn't played, instead we got Ghosts 8.

Awesome show, I have tons of video and pictures that I will post sometime tomorrow/later today.

Ghosts 31 is always played.


Don't question my nin-ness, buddy.

so am i still wondering wtf was with that girl taking a piss in the lower right hand screen during survivalism was.

~The guy who jumped on stage... who cares it was funny, no harm no foul,
it was alot more annoying to see shit being thrown at the stage

~Seeing Robin pick up a mandolin for ghosts was cute and awesome, plus the pure musicianship of that entire segment was phenomenal.

~the frail into the wretched!

And DIOYY was actually quite enjoyable as an opener

You should have come to the middle. It definitely wasn't mellow there! I was so looking forward to the ghosts section to get a little break and to take it all in from such a great spot, but thanks to the idiots behind me, that didn't happen. They used it as their opportunity to push and kick their way up.

Oh, and I just have to say something. I know that production is fantastic and mind-blowing and so on, but is it really necessary to say, "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen, dude, look at that, that is so sick, oh shit, etc, etc?" Can't you (you meaning assholes behind me) just think it in your head? I know that this is very hard to understand, but some people actually go to shows to listen to the music, not your drunken mumblings.

I feel bad complaining over and over, because it was an unbelievable show, I just wish that every single person that was there was a true fan, not just there to push and harrass other people and talk nonstop through the show. I know that this is never gonna happen, but I can dream, right?

And I totally loved DIOYY. I am definitely gonna buy some of their stuff.

The girl in the bathroom is footage that is played during some of the shows..its not a live shot. I agree about the shit being thrown at the stage. I don't get it..who would do that?

That dude throwing shit on stage was an asshole. It took about 10 minutes but did anyone else see him finally get booted out by security?

I wish I saw the guy on stage bowing to Trent. But I didn't notice until he got tackled and the shit beaten out of him.

Great show. I'm not sure if I enjoyed it more than NJ, but its probably because the NJ show was a shock seeing this tour for the first time. I like the NJ setlist a little better too. I would gladly hear Vessel over Me, I'm Not any day.
