His voice was scratchy at tonight's Mohegan show. He did a great job singing, but when he talked to the audience he sounded sick. He joked "I'll meet you all at the Denny's down the street, after the show."

We regret to announce that due to illness, the Worcester show originally scheduled for Friday, August 8th at the DCU Center has been postponed. The band is sincerely sorry for the last minute announcement, but unfortunately Trent's recurring throat ailment has left him unable to perform.

We are currently working to confirm a rescheduled date. Please hold on to your tickets, as they will be honored on the new date. Watch nin.com for updates, we will post information about the rescheduled date as soon as it is confirmed.

Thank you very much for your understanding.


He did a fucking awesome job considering.

Trent postpones yet another New England show. I'm not surprised after hearing his voice though. Get some rest buddy!

Incredible show. Somehow even with the softer tunes, managed to rock harder than the others I've seen in recent years (this is my 5th NIN show)-the intensity was more like the Fragility tour. Was really looking forward to Worcester (esp since the massive traffic jams and rainstorms on 95 caused hours of delay such that I walked in midway through Discipline) but it's not to be - at least for now. Alas, just have to be thankful we got the Wretched and such a full on performance and hope the voice recovers in time for Izod. Did see many NIN fans wandering aimlessly in search of Denny's and the great one, in response to his suggestion of a meet up.... Mohegan is a great venue to see them due to its relatively small size - almost as good as Brixton Academy. And the visuals were just as good as those at past shows had billed them to be. Very nicely done.

oh man, so glad I chose the CT show with all the gambling goodness over Worcester. This show rocked...unbelievable. Something from every album. fantastic show. I would have preferred A Place to Bury Strangers over Deerhunter, but luckily I've got tickets to see APTBS headlining again in September.

I was originally in section 17 row S when I bought my tickets as soon as they went on sale in May. Before we left I just decided for the hell of it to check the Mohegan website for tickets and see what comes up. WELL! What ended up coming up was SECTION 15 ROW D! Incredible seats! I bought them right up, sold my other tickets and had one of the best experiences at a NIN concert ever.

To be honest I wasn't very excited for this tour. I saw them 5 times last time they came around and even though they are my favorite band they don't switch the setlist up much. Anyway, they blew my mind tonight! This was probably the best show ever! I am/was extremely excited to go again tomorrow night for DCU in Worcester.

Plus I played some Caribbean Stud Poker and won $150! Awesome night!

This was the first NIN show I've been to- it certainly didn't disappoint...even with a pretty terrible ride back from the Mohegan Sun place (just got home).

I have tickets for tomorrow's Worcester show, but I knew that there was a distinct possibility that it wouldn't happen especially after listening to Trent's voice when he talked to the crowd a bit.

I loved the intensity in the beginning, loved The Warning and The Great Destroyer, loved God Given, the Wretched, etc etc etc.
The visuals were amazing.

Only complaint is that where I was sitting- nosebleed, up against the wall off to the side, the bass seemed wayyy to heavy. I couldn't hear the singing sometimes, or the guitar or higher pitched synth sounds others. It was way worse for deerhunter, but overall the sound was still pretty good. Plus, even in those seats I could still see the amazing light show.

So overall it was a great experience for my first NIN show, but I am disappointed I won't get to see them tomorrow. Still it's an embarrassment of riches I can live without for awhile, I'm sure. The two friends I was planning on going with to tomorrow's show (it would've been their first) might not feel the same, but that's a phone conversation I'll put off until the morning.

Hope everyone else enjoyed it too.

This was my first NiN show and my first trip to the arena at Mohegan Sun. IT WAS AWESOME. The visuals blew me away. I had seats in 110 which is one of the upper corners and they were just great. I knew the arena there was small, but not that small. Great show!

I'm glad I managed to snag a ticket to this show in addition to the DCU. I would be so pissed about the delay otherwise.
Seriously the visuals in this show were the best I've ever seen in a live show. It was simply amaazing. The rain and sunrise during the Ghosts tracks blew me away especially.
By the way people, not to sound like a spoilsport but...SHUT THE HELL UP DURING HURT. It's a quiet song and you screaming "Trent!" at dramatic pause kinda ruins the mood a bit. Just enjoy the music and use the rowdiness where appropriate.

Here is the full set list (my girlfriend grabbed me one on the way out)

999,999

1,000,000
Letting You
Discipline
March of the Pigs
The Frail
The Wretched
Closer
Gave Up

The Warning
The Great Destroyer

Ghosts 1
Ghosts 5
Ghosts 19
Ghosts Piggy (ah this explains the different version)

The Greater Good

(Pinion not on the set list but played)
Wish
Terrible Lie
Survivalism
Ghosts 31
Only
The Hand That Feeds
Head Like A Hole

ENCORE
Echoplex
God Given
The Good Soldier
Hurt
In This Twilight

Opinion of the show: They did a great job. It sounded fucking great and the visuals were wicked pissa. At some point during the encore Trent spoke briefly and he sounded like shit! I don't know how he even finished the set. Now I gripe: I have been a NIN fan for a long time and have been to many shows. This is the second time I have seen them with no general admission. The 1st time being at the Boston Garden about 3 or 4 years back. During that show he told the crowd that a show with all seats would never happen in Boston again, and it hasn't. At that show the whole crowd was into the show even though we were all confined to seats. Tonight on the other hand WHAT THE FUCK! I was sitting almost to the wall in sec 22 and looked over the entire crowd. I would say that about 20% of the people on the floor were getting into the show. The other 80% were fucking zombies. I wanted to bull rush down the stairs and try to fire people up except for the fact that security there was fucking tight. The last thing I was trying to do was get kicked out during the 3rd song of the show. Anyway I want to say FUCK YOU to all the PUSSIES on the floor AND THE STUPID FUCKS that were being filmed during survivalism. YOU JUST FUCKING STOOD THERE EMOTIONLESS! At least sing along or something. You are front fucking stage at a NIN show and you just stand there like some fucking tool boxes. DIE! I fucking hate fanboys and girls. So in summary the guys put on a GREAT SHOW and the fans for the most part SUCKED MY ASS.

EDIT: Big Come Down was played but not on the set list.

Just got back from one of, if not the greatest concert I have ever been to. It was my first time seeing NIN, so you can imagine the ultra high expectations I had going in. They were exceeded in every way, the lights, visuals, & music were all incredibly tight & professional. The mix was one of the best I have ever heard at an arena show, I wish I could of had the chance to shake the soundguys hand after the gig. The clarity of the vocals & Robin's guitar were what really blew me away, the guy was definitely a true pro, he was even head banging with his shirt off the entire show all while operating the boards. The Setlist was unreal, a perfect balance of old & new material. It was great to get The Wretched after The Frail considering the limited appearances that song has had thus far on the tour. Not much more can get be said about the visual element of the show that hasn't been said already, it was absolutely amazing. The only thing I noticed about the show was the blatant disparity in energy levels between die hard NIN fans, and those that were comped their tickets by the casino. The energy from section to section varied greatly, and because of this, I was worried how much energy the band was going to have. Trent moved around the stage real well with alot of intensity, and his vocals sounded fantastic despite the recurring ailments. It was my first time seeing Finck with any outfit, and I have to say that I was completely blown away by his guitar playing. His wildly chaotic stage presence serves as a perfect complement to his playing style. Freese was also fantastic, the guy is an absolute animal, and truly showed why he is arguably the most techniqually proficient drummer in the industry. JMJ & Alessandro were also awesome. It was a fantastic show in every which way, and I truly wish Trent the best in his battle against these recurring throat ailments. I am definitely looking forward to seeing future stops on the tour.

anyone else get stuck on the merritt and 95 in the RIDICULOUS rain?


Yep....actually drove up from Washington, DC and got stuck in it coming up before the show (5 hour drive took 7) and then again once I picked up my brother....we missed 1,000,000. Sad Some GREAT lightning strikes to entertain us on the way, though...

There was something after Big Come Down which was a short instrumental with a marching kind of feel to it. Ghosts 31 has been getting play in that slot lately.


I think it was just a new intro to "Only" like they kind of did for the WT tour....

I just got home from the show, and I have to say, it was a fucking blast. I had section 25 Row H, and it was perfect. I got some pretty amazing video (and nobody said anything until In This Twilight) :rolls eyes: Anyhow, the visuals blew me AWAY.

I'm a little disappointed that tomorrow's show is postponed, but I can definitely see why. Ha, I ended up spending 170.00 at the merch booth xD ^^;

I actually kind of have to agree with Fadeout54321 about the Survivalism bit. The camera was on the same section and you would think they would have done SOMETHING. *shrug* Anyhow, I have never gotten to see Robin play before, but it was fucking amazing. Especially during Ghosts when he started up on that flute!!

Alessandro is a funny guy, I noticed on the way out everyone waved, but he kind of just slunk off the stage.

Er, this post sucks cos it's almost 4 AM, but whatever. ^^;

In regards to TR's voice...there were definitely points where he dropped an octave when singing certain songs, and there were a couple times that he didn't scream something as forcefully as usual, but after I heard him talk to us with his voice cracking, I was so impressed by his ability to continue tearing through the set. He's a pro, and it's obviously serious if he's canceling another show. I can't believe that he pushed through and sang so well with how sick he must be....

I'll echo everyone else....visuals have to be seen to be believed....TR on a xylophone with Justin on a stand-up bass and Robin on a ukulele....un REAL....Justin surprised me, thrashing around with the rest of the band....And obviously, it was good to see Alle and Josh again....Josh finds ways to make those old songs seem new again, and Alle added a lot of subtle sonic layers to songs that weren't there, even as recently as the 2006 winter tour...)

The Beginning of the set dragged a bit (Too many "hits" IMHO...Gave Up, while one of my favs, just wasn't working for me tonight...Every time they played a song I heard a million times, all I could think of were the 3 albums of material we haven't heard yet in the US that I would rather be hearing...) but once we hit The Great Destroyer, it was perfection....a nice mix of songs and moods from there til the end....

Just got back to New York...

It needs to be said that The Warning live is motherfracking HOT.

This was my first NIN show since summer '06. I've been hearing about the production for this tour really being above and beyond, but it still knocked the wind outta me. I won't even try to describe it for you...it utterly demands that you haul ass to the nearest stop this tour and see it for yourself. There are gorgeous backdrops, lights...oh, so many LIGHTS...and just beautiful layers to the imagery.

Like others said, the zombies aka casino "preferred guests" put a damper on the crowd energy - I swear, some of those fuckers forgot to take off their poker faces throughout the entire show - one group in front of me asked me, "Do you KNOW these guys? Are they... um... GOOD? We're just here 'cause it's free," and stood idly the whole time.

Fuck it, the show still killed. Props to TR - you could hear his voice was strained, but he kept going. Even though he shouldn't have.

More tomorrow... sleepy...

I was two seats over to the left of the idiots who happened to get on camera during Survivalism. The two girls didn't know ANY of the songs, and were like For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ON CAMERA!!!!!!!!!!!11 It was terrible, esp when I was rocking out, screaming the words, two seats away.
