I had the setlist going correctly in my head and then there were just so many that I forgot. We went in just as doors opened, checked some bathrooms and didn't find any hidden letters. We got food and went to our seats to eat when who walks by but Joe Leitz (Combichrist drummer/ just filled in for Hanzel und Gretyl). We were debating if it was him or not and we knew the tattoos. He went down to the sound board and called this girl down.. as she walked by we called her over and it turned out to be his wife. ANyways, we said how much we love his drumming and he did an amazing job filling in for Hanzel und Gretyl. Opening band came on and really didn't play all too long. They were alright. NIN came on around 8:20. Phenomenal show. The house lights were still on when 999,999 started to play. They were still on and I said to my brother, "What are they doing?" Then the lights went out. 1,000,000 was great live. Really got the crowd pumped up.
Oh yea, during Down in it, some guy made it on stage and was immediately tackled by four or five security guards by Robin. the band kept playing and trent paid no mind. It was great.

Trent spoke and said how spent 18 years trying to get out of PA and here he is again. He said this was probably going to be the last show where he is going to speak and how someone asked him how the crowd has changed. He said early on it was nothing but a bunch of vampire guys and no there are women around...or something like that. Something about watching Rage Against the Machine at Lollapalooza too.

not 100% about the order
1. 999,999 [Intro]
2. 1,000,000
3. Letting You
4. Discipline
5. March Of The Pigs
6. Head Down
7. The Frail
8. The Wretched!!!!
9. Closer
10. Gave Up
not sure if it was the same Ghosts as NJ... I think so. not sure.
11. Me, I'm Not
12. Ghosts 5
13. Ghosts 17
14. Ghosts 19
15. Piggy [Ghosts]
16. The Great Destroyer!!!! (I was so happy to finally hear this live)
17. The Greater Good
18. Pinion (awesome the way Trent covered up the screen)
19. Wish
20. Down In It!!!!
21. Terrible Lie
22. Survivalism (loved the screens)
23. The Big Comedown (amazing lights)
24. Ghosts 31
25. Only
26.Head Like A Hole

The whole crew (by soundboard) was on the screen! I don't think I looked at the band at all during the whole song -- I was fixed on the screen.

A girl next to me on rail got video of the whole thing. I asked her to post here, which hopefully, she'll do so.

What a fucking show... just got home... I am shot... I was 2nd from the front dead center... I felt bad for the people with the girl in the wheel chair. They wanted out after the 4th or 5th song. Not really the best place to be at a NIN concert. Whoever I met, I never got your names but good people to talk to.

Thanks Trent for being so chatty. He said it was probably the last time he was going to do it. I hope not. It was cool as hell... then he talks about how it is now to stand up infront of the crowd and how there were a bunch of dudes at the RATM concert they went to right in the front, then he goes on saying there are a bunch of beautiful looking ladies... then a fucking bra comes flying out of the crowd and lands by Robin. Trent starts laughing its all good!

Before all of this some kid stormed the stage and started bowing to Trent. That was ballsy but funny as hell! Props to him! Fink pushed him like he was going to kick his ass. What what in da butt... ahhhh so much fun, great experience, has got to be one of the best shows I have been to... ahhhh good night everyone!

The show was great! I was so excited to hear Down in It, Reptile and The Wretched!

I just want to give a big fuck you to the fratboy assholes who decided they were just gonna push their way to the front about 5 songs in. I was a bit to the right of trent and 4 people in from the rail. These guys were complete idiots. I heard them planning how they were gonna "bust through." During Piggy, one guy called someone on his cell to say, "Dude you will never believe where I am, Dude I am in the pit..blah, blah, blah." Then he proceeded to sing the worst rendition ever of Piggy in my ear. I told him to shut up. I heard him tell his friends that I wasn't moving and that they were gonna have to start swinging. I tried so hard...I elbowed him, stepped on his feet, but I finally gave up. I couldn't enjoy the show like that (he also almost pulled my shirt off and wrapped his arm around my neck) and I moved over to Robins side. One bit of satisfaction, I did hear him tell his friend, "Dude, I got an elbow stuck in my liver." Yeah, take that fucker!!

Oh, and to top it off, my memory apparently fell out of my camera and someone (I wonder who?) took my ATM card out of pocket.

It was a really amazing show, though, and I am glad that I got to the side so I could really enjoy Reptile and Down in It. I will probably post more later when I am not so pissed off.

I tried to get a shot of the dude who ran up on stage (good job!), but failed miserably. I did get a couple of other good shots from my vantage point.

I was astounded by the intensity of the show and now regret not planning on seeing them over and over again.

can anyone confirm the setlist? I can't wait to see more photos and hopefully videos. I am going to be talking about this show for a long time. Just amazing. I was glad to see that the hand that feeds wasn't played for a change. just wanted to hear the good soldier. oh well. Of course the girls next to me just wanted to hear Hurt. I wanted to no pun intended, hurt them.

This was one of the best shows I've ever been to. The lighting was amazing, the song selection was amazing (I almost crapped myself when Reptile started) and the performance was amazing. My seats were to the stage's left, first level, row 1 right near Robin. I had a great view of pretty much everything.

I got really nervous when that guy got up on stage that it would really piss Trent off and he'd cut out some songs or even stop Down In It. I hope the security guards gave him a good beating.

The Year Zero stuff was excellent and the Ghosts stuff was so calm. One lighting element that really stood out for me was during Reptile when the lights almost seemed to slither like a snake. Man, that was executed so perfectly. The video and lights for In This Twilight were great as well. I really like that song as a closer, I hope they keep it.

Heres some pictures I took. I didn't label them all because I can't think straight right now about when I took some of those. Maybe I'll remember tomorrow.

OK, i just got back. THIS SHOW WAS INCREDIBLE. SOO MUCH BETTER THAN THE NJ SHOW I WENT TO. Trent's speech caused a fan to throw her bra right in front of Robin...and that made everyone in the arena laugh as Robin held it up in front of everyone (was it blue/green?). haha. Also, this reallly fat kid managed to jump over security, and onto the stage during Down In It. Anyway, he ran up to trent, and literally bowed down to him! After that, it took 4 or 5 security gaurds to tackle the guy...and drag him by the neck off the stage. and yea, setlist was outta this world! The entire show was just unbeleavable!!!!! this show had everything...the crowd was awesome, the setlists couldnt have been better. The openner [DIOYY?] was lights out awesome! thanks trent!

This was my first time at a Nine Inch Nails concert. My son is a huge fan and has previously been to two other shows. He insisted his dad and I see this concert with him. The show was absolutely fucking amazing! My husband who has seen many bands over the years, is very hard to impress. He constantly teases my son that he should listen to a real band. Well tonight Trent and Co. left him practically speechless. His exact words were "this guy is bad ass" and "I didn't think his show would be so intense." He was also really impressed with how long the band played. I don't think I have EVER been to a concert where someone actually sounds the same live as they do recorded. I am beyond impressed and hope they come back this way again soon. Loved that Trent was so talkative with the crowd. I honestly don't know what else to say other than this show was kick ass and we had a great time!

Nine Inch Nails tickets - 175.00
Gas to get to Philly - 40.00
Geno's cheesesteaks for three - 30.00 (hubby ate 2)
Parking - 12.00
T-shirt - 35.00
Spending my 21st wedding anniversary with my two favorite guys at an amazingly kick ass Nine Inch Nails concert - fucking priceless!

Trent and Co. shutting my husbands mouth about my son "listening to a real band"- even more fucking priceless! Thanks Trent!

bloody hell, where do I start?
i turned up to the venue at 5.30ish with hippy, ad infinitum, great gazoo, and eris. we hooked up with the others, got into the venue blah blah.

most of us were at the soundboard for this show, which luckily worked out really well

Does it offend you, yeah? were AMAZING. I was really looking forward to seeing them live - moreso than NIN really - and they definitely delivered. I'll be seeing them again in London later this year.

I have a video of TGD and....something else. I'm determined to see what all the hidden visuals are /geek

i didn't have huge expectations for NIN, as I didn't really like the visuals etc this tour (I still think they're a bit useless and bloated), but live, in the flesh, I was completely sucked in. Random bullet point highlights

- EYB and the survivalism screens. It was a real group love moment.
- Heariing Thew Wretched for the first time in ages
- Dancing - being able to dance at a nin show!
- Dancing to Down in It, Closer, Only, and Reptile with all the others. Jadezuki and Shotgun Dutchess have some wicked moves
- Fake-emo-spazzing with Shotgun during Hurt
- The courtesy of everyone at the soundboard. I was on a little platform in front of the soundboard, and had a fantastic view, and a fantastic show due to everyone taking care not to obstruct my view.
- The setlist seemed to go on forever, and ended up a little atypical towards the end. I had no idea what was coming on next, and that was really refreshing.

I wouldn't have enjoyed the show nearly as much if i hadn't been at the back and with so many awesome people from here. I'm really surprised at how much I enjoyed the night. I don't want more, I don't want to top it. This is probably my 3rd or 4th favourite show......Very Happy!

Also, I got a wicked cool Ghosts girls skinny fit shirt

wow what a show!! almost all songs I wanted to hear were played - Reptile, Down In It, Me I'm Not, TGD!!!
and Trent's speech was awesome! he said something like this: "Someone asked me if our audience changed during the years. I see one difference. I saw Rage Against The Machine at Lollapolooza, there were many many thousand of people there and they were all dudes. When we started 20 years ago our audience was the same - all dudes. And now I see a lot of hot chicks in the first row!" And at the same moment like as it was planned Robin catches the bra from the pit! :))) And Trent says: "You see? That's what I was talking about!"
Also he said that he's back to Pennsylvania from where he was trying to escape for 18 years :)
I took binocular with me at the show and couldn't stop looking through it :) Everything was so close and so fucking cool! All the band especially Trent is so full of energy, it's incredible!
Now when I watched the light show from the distance I can say that it's the best thing I've seen in life maybe just after the total sun eclipse :) Putting so much efforts in the production... it's amazing
And meeting ETS heads after the concert was so great! :)
Damn I can't believe I have to go home and wait till spring (hopefully till spring...) to see it again in Europe. I envy you, Americans :)
