Was there, shot video... IN HIGH-DEF ULTRA-REALISM! (Not kidding!)
Will definitely have some YouTubes up soonish. Might make a HD torrent if the quality is actually good enough.
It was my first NIN show, totally awesome! A few people were screaming during the quiet bits of Hurt (TR shot a pissed off glance in their direction once, but no show-stopping.)
Look for the video soon, I'll post again when some gets up.

Partially corrected setlist; I think that Ghosts 19 and 25 were the other two in the 3 song ghosts section, but I'm not sure. Edit: heresyreptile is right, the second track was Ghosts 6; TR was playing the xylophone on that one. The third one was probably 8. I still can't keep the tracks straight; I associate the pictures embedded in the files with the songs (or the unique instrument) and not the names. Edit again: Ok, I'll believe the setlist, but that was a heavily, heavily modified version of Ghosts 25. Only was also modified; I didn't recognize it at the beginning. Ew. The Frail->Closer was actually the way the setlist went and they didn't just cut The Wretched... that transition was really, really jarring.

In This Twilight was amazing (even if someone forgot the words on the first chorus); I had really hoped to see this song live since it was my absolute favorite from Year Zero. The Greater Good was really neat.
I wasn't a big fan of The Frail directly into Closer; I had wanted to hear The Frail into The Wretched without a SWAT team stopping the performance. There were some light sticks suspended from the ceiling that came down in between the two large screens (TBCD, I think) that they were batting all around. I saw this show on the rail in front of JMJ; I'll be in the back by the soundboard for Inglewood so that I can see the full effect of the light show.
Crystal Castles weren't that great, but I'm not a fan of that genre of music.

I have never been surround by so many completely drunk and obnoxious assholes and cunts. The show itself was great but I will never be wasting my time coming to Seattle for a show again.
Hopefully the fans at the California shows are people who actually want to be there to see and hear the show.

i am pretty sure that the 2nd two ghosts songs in the 3 ghosts block were 5, 6 or 8. a recording of pinion was played before wish
the lights on gave up were reaaaally bright
hurt sounded pretty much the same and it was a nice surprise that it wasnt the last song
got in when the doors open through the normal entrance because we had 3 tickets, the merch booth had a ton of people so we went to the 200 section and were the first ones at that booth, i got 2 shirts. most were $35, sweatshirt was $65 and there was one $45 shirt
i got a white shirt with some trees that says ghosts I-IV and has a small nin logo, the other one is black with red writing and says nine inch nails on the front along with the 3 "lights in the sky" and has all of the tour locations on the back
trent talked a bit about how someone wasnt doing their job pushing a button or something. light show was simply amazing, many different effects
edit
http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/ej/ 2 ghosts were 25 and 19
also, piggy was played with a stand up base which was pretty awsome

The cluster of three ghosts songs was
1
25
19
Robin's guitar wasn't working right at the beginning of Head Down, he chucked it at the mic stand and left pissed for a few seconds then returned with a different one.
Josh's drum solo in Piggy was awesome. Must have a recording.
Pinion sounded like it was mixed with Corona Radiata.
The vid screens in Survivalism were awesome. There was one camera on Trent, one on the front row, 2 in the arena halls, and 2 in bathrooms. One screen showed a chick using the toilet but there's debate as to whether that was staged.
Robin had a unique guitar riff intro to Only, I seriously thought it was some brand new song before I realized the chords going on.
Before Echoplex, the LED screen lit up with some The Slip-like white boxes in rows and decorative red lines. Josh came up to the screen and touched the white boxes, making them red which was connected to his drum machine.
I was afraid of people yelling during Hurt and people generally did, but they played on. Finally, I was afraid it would end with Hurt, but...
This show was the first ever appearance of In This Twilight, and let me say, it is an awesome ending song. the back LED screen had a picture of a city/factories, extended ending with Trent piano and ooh-ooh-oohs.... "Thank you."
I'm going to drink 3 gallons of water and go to sleep.

Did anybody else hear that dude yelling "MEATHEAD LIKES DUDES" during Hurt?
I mean, it's true, but honestly, during Hurt? Come on. Rude.

Wow, that setlist was really long. Some dickheads and assholes, but overall a pretty good crowd. Can't wait to see them finish up the tour back down in Los Angeles, on a side note, why are the stage crew cleaning up such dicks. The last tambourine that was used was just sitting on the stage, they wouldn't throw it out to us, despite Trent tossed two out during the show.
