Just got in from the venue. I'll post a more detailed review after I return home tomorrow afternoon; however, let me just say that my last show of the With Teeth tour couldn't have been any better.
I think I can easily say that Down In It almost stole the show for me. As nothoney said afterwards, "Who knew the old girl still had it in her?"
Somewhat Damaged
You Know What You Are?
Sin
Terrible Lie
MOTP
SICNH
Closer
Burn
Gave Up
Help Me I'm in Hell
Non-Entity
Only
Wish
La Mer
Into the Void
The Big Come Down
Dead Souls
Suck
Down In It
Hurt
THTF
HLAH
If anyone has the Bauhaus setlist, I'd appreciate it. I could never get into them on their albums, but this being the first time live, I was very pleased to see them put on an amazing show.

Set list was amazing. Highlights for me were Down In It. La Mer followed by Into the Void. Loved seeing Trent and Aaron just chilled for a bit and playing La Mer. I liked this version over the Fragility Tour.
I loved the new stage production since the fall tour. definitely my fav. Great opener of Somewhat Damaged. I new they we not going to play HIS after HMIAIH. I was ready to rip the seat out in front of me if they did.
Anyone know what Trent's shirt said? Something about someone in heaven is dead. Liked the girl signing the lyrics to the songs for the deaf. Wanted to know what the sign was for "fist fuck."
I got my litho. I have an extra too. I liked the fact they didn't stick with the military theme for DC.

Great show! Loved the way La Mer built up then jumped to Into the Void, that was really cool. I was so happy to finally hear Dead Souls again, I've been waiting for that since 1995! I thought for sure when they played it that it meant Hurt was out, but I was happy they played both. Down In It was a pleasant surprise, wasn't expecting to hear it. They sounded really great tonight! I'm sad now. I always immediately want to see them again after a show ends.
i think your setlist is a bit off. i'm pretty sure they played "suck" also
second time i've seen NIN on this tour and this showed definitely topped the last. ridiculous amounts of energy in the first four songs. highlights were down in it (best song of the night), the big come down, dead souls, and motp. wished they would have played starfuckers and get down make love though. anyways the new screens and stage set-up were much better than the fall leg of the tour.
bauhaus was quite a surprise too. they were better than i thought they'd be and i loved the cover of ziggy stardust.
yeah suck was played between dead souls and down in it

Bauhaus Setlist to the best of my recollection, some may be off, but the beginning and end are correct:
double dare
in the flat field
god in an alcove
she's in parties
adrenalin (new song)
severance (dead can dance cover)
silent hedges
kick in the eye
in fear of fear
endless summer of the dammed (new song)
rose garden funeral of sores
stigmata martyr
ziggy stardust (david bowie cover)
i'll post more tomorrow, as i'm pretty tired now. this was my last show for the with teeth tour, and as orestes said, my last show couldn't have been better, especially with the radio performance including spiral members. and yes, down in it stole the show for me too.
Best show of three this tour I've seen. Peter Murphy was elegent, put on a dynamic performance. Great looking band! Enjoyed the supporting bands much more this time. I think trents shirt sayed "safe in heaven dead" Guess its the only place you might ever be safe. Havent seen a performer stage dive in quite a while. Hope a DVD comes out soon!

JOSH FREESE!
This was my last show of the With_Teeth tour as well, and it was one of the two best. Pitch perfect, energetic, and For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen DOWN IN IT!
We met Konstantin, who's a very nice lad, ran into another ETSer, drank spendy beers and screamed ourselves hoarse. It was a great end to a screamin' fine ride.

i was looking at that, too. pretty sure it said "safe in heaven. dead." could be wrong though.
i also have to second "down in it." that song was AMAZING last night. the whole setlist was great, better in my opinion than the last show in DC, but down in it just finished it for me. my wife noticed i was grinning like a child during it.
just glad they played non-entity, too. first time i've seen it live.

That was an awesome show! I love the new visuals, gate-thingy, and lights. The setlist also was pretty damn perfect!
I rocked out w/ my buddy (a NIN virgin) during the whole show. I now have a sore neck because of it (gawd, I'm old).
Did my eyes deceive me, or did Jeordie jump into the crowd? In any event, he was pretty animated the whole show. Weird.
Bauhaus also was freakin' amazing. I only wish it was darker out when they played. We didn't get the full effect of their lights and seeing PM in the daylight is, again, weird.
Off to Camden tonight.
(Oh, and I'm still reeling about missing the TR, PM, TVotR jam. I got there after they let EVERYONE in the Spiral line in (premium members, that is). I figured it would have been like ATL, and only a few would get in to see it. Otherwise, I would have made a concerted effort to get there earlier. Oh well, my bad.)
I really dug this show. I'll agree that it went off better than the show in the fall tour. I really hope they they do the DVD off this tour. The visuals were unreal.
I haven't seen it mentioned here yet, but the nin.com frot photo's a picture of the crowd from the stage. Anyone that was there in the pit might have a chance to see themselves on nin.com today.
I have a question though. I over on Aaron's side of the stage and where I was I had a hard time seeing what Alessandro was up to most of the time (inconveniently placed speaker stack up front).
What was going on with Alessandro during THTF and HLAH? I could tell that something wasn't working for the THTF solo...didn't hear him at all, then he unplugged the smaller keyboard on top and threw it across the stage. After that, it didn't look like he was doing anything for the rest of that song. Then HLAH's intro sequence came up, but I didn't really hear Alessandro again. The bass sounded synth-y but it kinda sounded like it was Jeordie. For most of HLAH, from where I was, it looked like Alessandro wasn't doing anything but fiddling with cables, til Aaron helped him pull the whole keyboard stand down onto the stage.
Wtf? Anyone want to fill in some detail?

I'm pretty sure I saw Aaron jump into the pit early on, but I didn't see Jeordie jump in. Though, I may have been watching the big screen at the time if he had. The camera operators got a little psychedelic.

Yes, Aaron jumped into the crowd during MOTP but it looks like someone might have bum rushed the stage during Closer. During the second verse of Closer, when Trent was in front of the LED fence, I noticed someone walk behind him. At first, I thought it might have been Aaron or Jeordie, but suddenly they leaped into the pit. I might have been a roadie or security taking care of something in the pit.
And the camera operators were using cheesy, guitar rock wipes and dissolves the entire night. Whether it be slow-mo capturing of Aaron playing or Trent melting into the crowd shot.

^ yeah, and during some song after sicnh, there was some guy to ran past jeorde and tapped him, then ran past trent who was down front singing, and tapped him, then the guy jumped off into the crowd. i was wondering who he was, cause i can't figure out how he would have gotten backstage, as that's where he ran out from.
Trollmanen,
He didn't come out from backstage. He jumped onstage from the rail (how he made the jump, I have no idea, but I saw it with my own eyes). Then ran across the stage and dove onto the pit. I didn't take my camera to the show so I'm trying to find someone online who may have a pic that I can give him. It totally made the entire night rock even more.
