Post only if you attended the show.

It might be easier to tell you what they didn't play tonight.. Brutalized for about three and a half hours. What a great show. I am definitely going to miss this.

Thanks for all the years Trent.

Navarro.

They didn't end with Hurt.

Someone broke a big drum.

Oh and it was nice to see Atticus Ross up there tonight.

Except when he thought he was the star and Trent had to put him in his place.

i loved every second of this show.
there arent words good enough to describe how fucking amazing this show was.
by far the greatest NIN show ive been too.
thank you so much Trent, love ya.

Pit was brutal - in a nice way. Celeb audience - Penn Gillette, Ron Jeremy, Rick FUCKING Rubin and Tony Hawkes. I'm sure there were more...

I have no idea what was up with some bitch on the edge of the pit randomly punching the moshers in the face. Very weird.

Eraser with Garson on piano was epic. I screwed up the setlist a bit while tweeting, but caught most of it. Apologies to those that care. (wow, just checked my email and saw all the twitter messages - that was a lot of you - oops).

Saw tons of people filming...

Definitely. I was wondering if there was going to be much YZ since the first part of the setlist was rather light on it (just Survivalism) and it was a pleasant surprise to see him play (well, more like trigger samples) for Me, I'm Not, The Warning, and Piggy. Dave Navarro was good as well. Mike Garson sucks at faking... he lost his sheet music during the middle of La Mer and just started playing atonal approximations of scales for a minute or two... there's a reason why you put all of the music out flat on the piano. DEP are excellent at destroying shit... the lead singer was all over the stage, taking out lights and the DEP drum set and the NIN drum set.

Edit: It was more like 3 hours. They started 20-30 minutes late, and there was a sizeable break while they put everything back together after DEP's destruction during Wish.

So... what didn't they play then? I'm honestly very curious as to what the setlist could have been if they played for 3 and a half hours... jeeeeeze.
I guess I'm breaking rules here by posting even if I didn't go, but could someone post the setlist? Was the show really three and a half hours?

EDIT: nm, there we go.

Right in front of Justin and next to us was Adrianne Curry. I guess she was at the Palladium show as well.

That show...holy fucking shit. I have to say seeing Atticus finally out there with Trent was badass, and would easily be my favorite guest had it not been for Mike Garson leading into La Mer. Hands down, the best part of the show for me personally (I've waited a decade to see that original album version performed live because I never saw Fragility). Every song tonight seemed to be the best possible live version of that particular song, at least to my ears. Discipline? I usually am ho-hum about it live, but the ending was fucking awesome. Best fucking show. Period. Thank you Trent for an amazing ride these last 5 years, and keeping it together for 20.

Best concert I've ever seen. Period.

Loved Dillinger Escape Plan up there. For 2 songs, it was like 1994 again with all the chaos and destruction.

Garson was fabulous. Numan was great. Navarro was a nice surprise.

So cool to see Atticus on stage with Trent.

lol at the line drama.

The twins and Sarah (solareyes) are fucking hypocritical cunts. Cutting in line at the last second because you're pissed that you're number 20 in line - lullllllllll.

Other than that, fucking fantastic show. Dillinger Escape Plan was all over the place - destroying shit right in front of us; the guitarist falling into me after their last song. Justin is amazing, as always. Having Atticus onstage was a real treat and I was really glad to be able to see Me, I'm Not live.

The pit was mild and at times, I was a bit sad that there didn't seem to be enough energy there, but it was nice that everyone was really courteous. One chick gave me her spot on rail because she saw that I got screwed over by the massive cunts who cut in front - whoever you are: thank you.

And to all that stayed the night at the venue for the last two nights - we had some good times.

All in all, it was a great ending to a VERY long week in LA, and I couldn't be more happy. I don't want to go home. :-/

Possibly the best performance of Eraser ever; Garson killed it on the pianos. I'm too worn out to type up a whole concert experience, but I met many ETS peoples and they were fun as hell!

Myth of Gravity's totally awesome concert photos:

Needs no explanation:


This is a picture I took of event staff rocking out to NIN the entire show... until they pulled her away to go work somewhere else. I never got a chance to tell her I fell in love. *sniff* But at least I have this photo:

She had 'fuck me in the library glasses' too!

Oh yeah, and when I spotted Penn Jillette I started screaming, "BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT!" at the top of my lungs, but I guess there aren't a whole lot of people who watch that show. heh I'm just going to convince myself that he appreciated my over the top expression of appreciation.

Ok, back to homework. ugh.

Amazing show. Will write a review tomorrow. nice meeting everyone from ETS

i literally heard everything i'd hoped for, and then some. best version of SICNH, ever. atmosphere was fucking beautiful. i missed pit by 20 people or so, but the first tier up was way better than i expected, more of a chance to see the stage. absolutely love that he closed with in this twilight, too. best show ever.

Remarkable... 3 1/2 hours, I am spent.

Wow. I feel like I was rode hard and put away wet!


This was beyond...anything. I cannot believe I got to see this happen. I will edit this when my brain cells decide to start working again...but this was such an amazing experience, and it was so nice to see old show friends and make new ones.

When do we start planning the NIN Alaskan Cruise?
haha...

MOre later...including links to some of the epic pictures I took from the center of the second rail...which btw was much rougher than the actual pit.

Aw, they should've opened their last show with "Now I'm Nothing/Terrible Lie" instead of "Home". Oh well, sounds like a great wrap up regardless, although I think missing something like this means Trent is achin' to go home finally.

Between this show and the Fonda I am completley overwhelmed... Now off to megadose on emergen-c and attempt to clear the stage smoke from my sinuses.

When tickets first went on sale for the 'Wave Goodbye' shows, I was lucky enough to grab a pair for The Palladium and The Fonda. Wiltern tickets were still available at the time, but I decided not to pick them up because (in my opinion) the Wiltern was the least favorable venue of the bunch.

Well, after two awe inspiring performances and the rescheduling, I put aside my prejudices and was able to score a pair for last night's show. Good stuff, but I was stuck all the way up in the balcony.

The Wiltern seemed to have the best sound of the LA shows, but I still favor the Fonda show.
