Great fucking show, loved the stock footage during Eraser/Right Where it Belongs. Very cool....Speechless otherwise
Awesome, best I've ever seen. If you have the means, I highly suggest you do whatever the hell you gotta do to go. Unfortunately they were playing with a curfew so some songs on previous lists weren't played. Oh well, still kicked ass.

Visual components were absolutely perfect. The sound was great. I didn't have a completely perfect view, but it looked flawless where I came from.
Missed Autolux's set, came in time to see QOTSA (who were good, but not fantastic. Same "get laid!" exclamations here as everywhere else). The audience reception was cold, and Josh Homme asked the audience members to raise their hands if they thought QOTSA sucked, to the amusement of many (he was pretty drunk). Some guy yelled at him, and Josh spent a good minute or two hilariously insulting the guy ("Hey, didn't I fuck you in the ass in the parking lot? What's that? You want to eat a bag of dicks? Please do!")
NIN was fantastic, boundless energy, Aaron generally giving off the air of a douche. However, the vastness of stadiums tend to give away just how small Mr. Reznor is. How funny.
Of greater note is the intermission Trent issued in the middle of Starfuckers ("Fuck the middle part, it's always a pain in the ass.") in which he introduced Josh Freese and thanked the audience. Trent (in my experience) doesn't talk much. Awesome.

It was an outstanding concert and Trent and the boys were definitely "on" tonight.
Trent stopped Starfuckers right in the middle, and told everyone he wanted to just skip the middle part. He said something along the lines of, "I thought it was a good idea at the time, but it's become a big pain in the ass." So they jumped right to the end...I gotta say - I didn't miss it.
He also took a moment during the pause to say thanks for the good thoughts for Jerome, and thanked Josh Freese for kicking ass in his stead.
Great energy...and the lighting, once again, was outstanding. True, not as great as the Fragility tour, but I don't know if that will be topped for a LONG time. It was really well done, though.
I thought Autolux was pretty good...you could tell they were not used to the big arenas, but I have a feeling they'll get there. Gotta check them out some more.
Queens of the Stone Age were, in a word, boring. I guess I just don't get them, but they weren't that enjoyable, and unfortunately, there wasn't enough beer to make the pain go away.
Cheers,

Pics of the show...camera phone, so I apologize about quality right off the bat...it's hard to really get a feel, but the strange looking jagged edged lights in the back were all LED and showed a bunch of different things. They also had the projector running from the rear for some additional effects. Quite nice.

The thing is, they have a guest drummer whose been learning thier songs for like 6 days. You had to know it was going to be a pretty stock set going in. In addition, they played a bunch of rarely used and new songs for us at the 5/4 show at the Fillmore, so we've already been lucky as far a unique setlists go.
All in all I thought it was a great show. It had by far the most techno/dance sort of feel of any I've ever been to(they seem to have reworked both Sin and Burn since May), but still had all the drive and energy we've come to expect from NIN. The new sober Trent is definitely more talkative on stage, and I loved the new screen footage during Eraser-Beside You in Time.
Autolux really was a bit of a disappointment. They aren't horrible, but after PWEI, Prick, APC and even Dresden Dolls, I expect a lot from bands Trent chooses to open. They play a lot of slow dramatic intro/outros which are horrible when you're the opening band and people aren't really there to see you. They'd be much better served playing smaller club shows where they had their own fans. Still I was pissed at the people who felt it necessary to yell at them through the whole set. The loudest of which kept screaming "thats just Sonic Youth, I've heard it before". Well you're just "Drunk guy being beligerent", and I've heard it before.
Qotsa were pretty solid. Although I'm not to big a fan of their straightforward rock style, They do it well. Josh's comments do seem a bit rehearsed, but they make up for it by changing up some of their album songs(particularly the radio ones) and adding new breakdowns that give it a good live feel.
After it all, I feel thoroughly destroyed, and after coming home and watching the tape of the White Sox defeating the Red Sox, I'm going to sleep a happy man.
Also, Seussman71's set list is dead on.

This show fucking kicked ass. Josh Freese did a damn fine job for how quick he learned the songs. Kinda funny having two APC (A Perfect Circle) members playing for NIN. Trent put on one hell of a show and playing Eraser and The Wretched fucking kicked ass nice way to change the set up for us. I'll try to post the pics my buddies got off there phones some came out really good so I will try. GOD TRENT PUT SO MUCH ENERGY INTO THIS SHOW. don't get me wrong the two fillmore shows I watched kicked ass but this was on a different level. lighting, sound, performance, everything was perfect and I love the way they started the songs up all with a different style like The Hand That Feeds. Well fuck one of the best NIN shows I've ever seen.
queens of the stonage suck ass, its all about nin
all of you bitching about the set list being the same...they have had freese for all of a few days...I am sure it will change now that he's in the fold a bit...apparently this mystery drummer thing might be another bump in road...plus all this production...a lot of work goes into these shows...ease up a bit and enjoy something....goodbye.

I agree with some, Queens of the Stoneage did suck ass. I couldn't believe how many people were in the lobby walking around while they were on. There shit gave me a headache. NIN more then made up for it though.
This was my 3rd show of this leg of the tour - Seattle & Portland a week and a half ago. I want to say thanks to Denver for showing Trent how much he is appreciated after the Sacramento debacle. Josh Freese is rock solid, and also brings his own drumming style to the show which gives a different slant to some songs. Collectively these 5 guys (and Jerome when able) pour their heart and soul into the show. Trent has a damn good thing going here folks, lets keep supporting him!

Dude its been the same since the last tour minus like 3-4 songs. And the last 2 tours. All i'm asking is throw in some downward spiral, broken and soundtrack songs. It's cool they have played deep and dead souls a little here and there but come on....there are so many damn songs they've never played before or havn't in forever. I enjoy nin all the time, i'm just saying do as you have told us. Oh and don't give me that shit about "new drummer" I know 4 drummers personally who could go in there and rip any song they call including perfect drug.
PLEASE BRING BACK ROBIN, DANNY, AND CHARLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even still, the guys he played with last night kicked ass, they complimented him really well. If you've heard any interviews with TR he's talked about needing a change, and maybe getting rid of the other guys were a part of that. He talks about getting rid of the negative influences in his life, maybe they were part of that too, who knows? I have no complaints, except QOTSA, they sucked. Other then that NIN really kicked ass last night.

danny is doing soundtracks like stuff as well as other production, charlie, like-wise, but more-so, Robin is in the new GnR getting his house paid for by axl rose, so he wont be coming back for surely.
I had seats in the 17th row in the section to the left of the stage. Man that was great. I'm kinda glad I didn't have floor spots though because they got pretty nuts. I saw one girl go limp after being thrown over the barricade. That was pretty scary.
My favorite part was when Jordie threw the water bottle into the audiance and hit that guy in the face. Jordie stopped for a minute to see if he was okay and then waved at him. That was funny.
But there was this weird lady standing next to me snake dancing the whole time. Even during the fast songs. And then my friend told me everytime I leaned forward she looked at my ass...WEIRD!!!!
I'm really glad all the NIN fans in Denver are so nice.
It was really really funny when Josh was talking shit about that guy and said "Man! I'm so sorry about your dick!! This guy's dick is so small he pisses on his testicals!!!"
FUCKING GREAT CONCERT!!! I GOT A NIN HOODIE!!
