2013.09.01 - Philadelphia, PA @ Made in America Fest

[Leviathant]

I can friggin' walk to this, you know I'll be there.

[sick among the pure]

So long as ticket prices don't make me "lolno" I'll see you there. Knowing there will be a "proper" tour in the US after this, I have to budget my money accordingly (if the price is that of 2 arena shows, I'll have to go for the 2 arena shows). This will be the first time I'll be able to go from my home to a NIN show in, like, 15 minutes, so I really want to be there.

edit: do we know for sure they're playing the 31st and not the 1st?

[jessamineny]

I can friggin' walk to this, you know I'll be there.

We're all parking at your house.

[Leviathant]

We're all parking at your house.

When it's not Sunday (There's a church two doors down) you can actually do that. It's about a two mile walk, but so's my walk to work.

[TheyCallMeDrug]

anyone know the presale code?

[gorny540]

code is BUDS

anyone know if NIN and QOTSA are both on Sunday? I'm praying they're the same day

[kdrcraig]

Oh I'm definitely going to this. I found out they were playing it by my sister just telling me, I'm slipping. Are they only doing 2 day passes for this? That's all that's on live nation's site.

[sick among the pure]

So, any news yet on which day NIN will be playing? I know I can't afford a 2-day pass, as it is I might not even be able to get the one-day since my tax return has yet to show up.

[ryanmcfly]

I'm currently trying to convince my girlfriend to put off our trip to Hawaii this summer to make this happen... Surprisingly it's working. She's not a NIN fan by any means, but she likes some of the artists there.

It's almost definitely the Sunday. Zurich is probably on the Friday so the Saturday will be travelling.

[sick among the pure]

It's almost definitely the Sunday. Zurich is probably on the Friday so the Saturday will be travelling.

I don't trust to throw down that much cash (when I am just graduating and therefore in the most possible debt of my life) for a ticket when NIN is probably playing. :/

[RJK]

*reading comprehension fail disregard*

[jessamineny]

The tweet said "the weekend of August 31st."

But single tickets aren't on sale yet anyway.

[imail724]

Anyone go to this thing last year? I'm considering it since the price is worth it for NIN and QOTSA alone (which are really the only two bands I'm interested in seeing). What is the parking situation? I assume there is no camping right?

[sick among the pure]

"8.31 - 9.1" on the tour page makes me wonder if they're playing both nights? Has that ever happened before? Or is Trent just covering his ass because he isn't allowed to say which day they're playing yet?

[UninTY]

I could have sworn I read that Beyoncé is headlining Saturday and NIN is headlining Sunday. (feels so strange typing that sentence). Not sure where I got that from, but if it isn't true, I have a 50% chance at being right. :)

[Clitoritzin]

Excited! Got my 2-day pass (personally, I don't think NIN and QOTSA will play in the same day). Traveling from outside USA.

[Clitoritzin]

"8.31 - 9.1" on the tour page makes me wonder if they're playing both nights? Has that ever happened before? Or is Trent just covering his ass because he isn't allowed to say which day they're playing yet?

I think he's covering his ass... The only way that he could perform both nights would be a HTDA inclusion to the bill (I think)

[RJK]

NIN is only playing one night. Festivals don't announce who is playing what day until it gets much closer. Mainly because they want you to buy the weekend pass instead of one day.

[sick among the pure]

I don't know how multi-day festivals work, never been to one. I'm going to have to wait until we know what day NIN is playing and try to get a ticket for that day, and if they sell out before we know, I'll just have to get as close as possible and enjoy from just outside the fence. :\ I just can't do that much $ for a festival when I know they're going to do an arena tour later on for half the price, easy, and probably a longer (more visually-involved) set. Thanks for clearing that up, though.

[gorny540]

I'm assuming they're playing the Sunday because of the fact they're in europe the same week. We'll probably know for sure in July or so when they announce the daily lineups and single day tickets

[ryanmcfly]

Macklemore's tour page says he's playing on 9/1 with Beyonce if that means anything.

[kdrcraig]

That pitchfork article announcing the new album says August 31st for this show

[ryanmcfly]

That pitchfork article announcing the new album says August 31st for this show

I really hope they play Saturday. I'm flying in from Dallas, so seeing them on the first day might be a bit anti-climactic.

[RJK]

That pitchfork article announcing the new album says August 31st for this show

It actually says (right now) 8-31-9-1.

[ryanmcfly]

Last year, Pearl Jam played the second night and got a two hour set time, so I'm really hoping for the same.

[ryanmcfly]

NIN is playing Sunday.

[imail724]

Same day as QOTSA! Stubhub has one-day tix for $65, might have to get myself one. NIN and QOTSA for almost half the price as NIN solo? Sounds like a good deal for me.
Anyone remember how much one-day tickets were originally? Just wanna be sure this isn't too good to be true.

I don't recall them selling single day tickets. I got my presale weekend pass for 115 bucks though.

[imail724]

Does anyone know what time the fest ended last year? Would like to go then drive back to NY that night

[gorny540]

as soon as I saw QotSA and NIN on the same day I bought a ticket for Sunday

[kdrcraig]

I don't recall them selling single day tickets. I got my presale weekend pass for 115 bucks though.

On the official site of the festival it says the single day GA tickets are coming soon

[imail724]

On the official site of the festival it says the single day GA tickets are coming soon
I see the one-day tickets go on sale Friday here (http://www.ticketmaster.com/budweiser-made-in-america-festival-philadelphia-pennsylvania-09-01-2013/event/02004A83A6047DE3?c=LNSM__Philadelphia_BMIA_singled ayOSsunday__fb_image_06112013). So I wonder what the deal is with the stubhub tickets, since they're a lot cheaper. Are they legit? Stubhub says "It's simple: we back every order, so you can buy and sell tickets with 100% confidence."

[gorny540]

Stubhub tix (right now) are just people who split their 2 day passes, good thing for NIN people Sunday isn't as hot as a ticket as Saturday

[imail724]

Isn't a 2-day pass usually just one pass that says 2-day pass on it? Not actually 2 passes...

[TCMD]

just got a pair for sunday only, $65 each, through stubhub and they look legit to me. obviously time will tell but I've had nothing but success with buying from them in the past. And they will replace your tickets day of if there's ever a problem.

gonna drive down from the BX - beats dealing with the Barclays ticket bs that will inevitably happen.

[RJK]

Isn't a 2-day pass usually just one pass that says 2-day pass on it? Not actually 2 passes...

I can confirm that they sent a ticket for each day. Just regular ticketmaster tickets.

[imail724]

Cool. Thanks!

you don't ever have to worry about stubhub, they're the only re-sell site you can trust because there is a guarantee

[ministryofadam]

Looking for a single day ticket for Sun 9/1 if anyone has extras they are willing to part with. Strapped for cash, looking to pay $75 or less. PM me.

[umby1979]

I'm on holidays from Australia and am doing a quick hit and run mission for the Sunday from New York....does anyone have a ballpark idea of what times QOTSA and NIN will start and finish? Am I looking at a 5-11pm start/finish or something more like a 9pm/1am start finish for both? Wondering if the visit won't be so quick and when I need to bail on this wedding after party back in NY on the Sunday! Only 68 more days!!

[Dragoro]

5 - 11 is more likely. Festivals here in the US rarely go past 11pm.

[sick among the pure]

.
You might want to change the date to the 1st since that's when NIN is playing.


So, I think I'm going to give in and buy a Sunday ticket off stub hub... Considering this show will be before the album drops, and the different stage setup means probably different playlist, I figure it's worth the $80 for a day ending with NIN.

[gorny540]

if I had to guess NIN will play from 8 to 10, most events like this have curfews of 10 pm

[nobies]

Looking forward to seeing you all there. Finally popping my live NiN cherry with this show. Sure I could've sprung for one of the Newark or Brooklyn shows, but why sit in the nosebleeds?

38 days to go.

[jessamineny]

Anybody know where the VIP viewing section is for this?

[Kyle]

I'm probably going to end up going to this. I've never been to one of these things though. It's just a general admission free-for-all the whole day? Can you usually get a decent distance from the stage? Should I wear a diaper and park myself in front all day and listen to all the crap that comes on stage before QOTSA and NIN? I'm tight on money until about a week or two before the show when I should have some money coming in. Will stubhub tickets probably get cheaper or more expensive by then?

[halo33]

Wasnt planning on going to any festivals, but after seeing the new footage of Sanctified from Japan, I couldn't risk missing it. Who knows if theyll drop it off the setlist during Tension. (which they may do for the U.S. fests anyway)

Either way, I get to see them a good month before the rest of the shows. (and get a cheese steak)

[gorny540]

Watching Lolla last night got me so pumped for this, didn't want to see spoilers, but I'm just too weak, sure hope they play Sanctified in Philly

[umby1979]

Right, so they do play Sanctified. Cool. This "no spoilers" shit is killing me though. Damn you Sheridan

[Kyle]

Right, so they do play Sanctified. Cool. This "no spoilers" shit is killing me though. Damn you Sheridan

Have you ever seen any of those clips from when Jay-Z and Kanye toured together and they played Niggas in Paris something like 5 or 6 times in a row at a concert? NIN has taken a cue from that and ends each show with Maybe Just Once played a whole bunch of times in a row.

[Kyle]

Ooops, forgot the spoiler warnings on that post.

[bigbadjesus]

I wish there would be some confirmation if this will be the only time they're coming to Philly for the foreseeable future, or if they'll be back after the festivals. Because if they are, I'd rather skip this show.. and the time is soon approaching where if I don't buy tickets I won't be able to. Hard to know what to do.

Just do it bro. It'll probably be the longest festival set they play on tour, considering last year PJ was given 2 hours to play.

[umby1979]

Ooops, forgot the spoiler warnings on that post.
That's ok. I'm sure somewhere along the line in the next 3 weeks I'll read that it's a setlist containing mainly Painful Convictions songs with a couple of HM songs thrown in. They all appear on stage with bouffant hair, flouro shirts tucked into acid wash jeans and a guest appearance from Lionel Ritchie on Purest Feeling.

[umby1979]

each show with Maybe Just Once played a whole bunch of times in a row. Yep, just got it....we're both singing from the same 80's songbook

[ryanmcfly]

I'd be okay if we got the same setlist as Lollapalooza. But if Pearl Jam got two hours last year, I hope NIN gets the same.

[FULLMETAL]

Would anyone mind picking up a couple of tour shirts from this festival stop for me? Please PM if you can help. To sweeten the deal, I can throw in an exclusive CBH towel from the Fuji Rock Festival - only available in Japan.

*edit*
Someone has claimed this offer. Thanks!

[xcross23]

Any want to go down from NYC- let me know.

https://www.facebook.com/henry.cross.526

[TheyCallMeDrug]

im goin down from nyc area but not sure when and how long ill be staying. you going both days?

[kevinbeetle]

you guys comfortable buying off stubhub? never have before, and the tix are $20 cheaper from what i've been seeing. ticketmaster has an $18 surcharge on top of the ticket price. just dont want to drive down and get screwed. is it better to do the instant download option for tix?

[kevinbeetle]

i probably should have read a page back...

[gorny540]

set times will be posted monday august 26th...

[Kyle]

So it's official. I'm going to be there. How many other ninnies will be there getting bored before QOTSA?

(as a side note. Every other band there other than NIN/QOTSA is someone I either don't care about or haven't heard of, at least on day 2 - Public Enemy is day 1 - but does anybody know if any of the bands I haven't heard of are any good? Obviously you don't know which ones I haven't heard of, but if you know any bands besides QOTSA/NIN that are any good and playing on Sunday, let me know.)

[nobies]

Ill be seeing Robert Delong solely because he drummed on my friend's record.

Florence Welch will be showing up for Calvin Harris' set so that might be good.

The Gaslight Anthem and Fitz & The Tantrums should be putting on some good shows as well.

[trollmanen]

Looks like this will be my 16th NIN show. Just scored tickets on Stubhub, $60 each and only one $4.95 fee to print instantly. I'd say that's a damn good price. The hotel will probably be that for just one night. I was planning on just going to the DC show in October, but being that QOTSA is also playing and they're not doing any shows near us this year, it seemed like a good excuse to make the drive up to Philly. I've never actually gone to a festival before. It seems like some of you have been to this particular fest last year. Looking at Google Maps and the map on the festival website, it doesn't look like that big of an area, do you need to be close to the front to get a good show? We really only want to see NIN and QOTSA, so we will probably hang back for everything else, but we don't want to get shafted on a view for the good stuff. Any advice for a festival noob?

[gjacques]

Is anyone driving down from NYC who could potentially give a guy a ride?

I'm nice, wear deodorant, would make a trip playlist / bring snacks / put in for gas!

[kevinbeetle]

if anyone is still looking for hotels, i'm probably staying here http://embassysuites3.hilton.com/en/hotels/pennsylvania/embassy-suites-philadelphia-center-city-PHLDTES/index.html

$65 a night plus 16k hilton points. i have 378k points from all the travel i do, not to rub it in.

[ryanmcfly]

It just hit me that this is only eleven days away.

[ninlive]

If anyone wants to take a stab and record the show with RITC's DAT recording rig like DigitalChaos did for Outslde Lands Festival, send me a PM/Email.

[ryanmcfly]

[Sammy Fern]

im going alone, ugh. I didnt think this would happen but im not missing it. only headed from NYC for second day. figured that at least one on my real life friends would also be going I was wrong. Is anyone else in a similar situation?

Seven days you guys. SEVEN FUCKING DAYS.

[sick among the pure]

http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/slobass/9367133455/sizes/o/

I'm guessing that's a folded full-size black towel with the HM square design? I'm not sure if I think that's awesome or weird. Probably both.

[FULLMETAL]

No, it's not folded in the picture. You can see some of the other bands' towels in the pic as well.

[trollmanen]

It looks like a scarf more than a towel. I remember seeing Depeche Mode scarves from a lot of the 80's and 90's tours.

[halo33]

Yea. Looks like a soccer (football) scarf.
http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00NfutyoEWvTBg/Football-Scarf.jpg

[FULLMETAL]

The white is terrycloth and "マフラータオル" means muffler towel, but I suppose it can be used as a scarf.

[kevinbeetle]

just scored my tickets off stubhub. so freakin pumped to see this.

[gorny540]

The festival's facebook now says that Set Times and Site Map is coming tomorrow, who needs the Troubadour show we're getting the last show for this current festival production run!

[gorny540]

im going alone, ugh. I didnt think this would happen but im not missing it. only headed from NYC for second day. figured that at least one on my real life friends would also be going I was wrong. Is anyone else in a similar situation?

yeah I'm pretty much in the same situation as it looks like I got bailed on for Sunday, but I could care less as I will get to see my two favorite bands play, luckily I have a buddy's apartment to stay at in Philly after the show

[sick among the pure]

Not seeing any map for this year, but I can't imagine it would be too different from last year (http://wtxf.images.worldnow.com/images/19406516_BG1.jpg)?
And the "set times"... is that just the awkward blocks of names with no explanation?


Maybe they're just behind in updating this stuff... though I'm happy to read that last year they had cell phone charging stations and filtered water available. Both are nice considering I'll be in the park from 11/12 till whenever the fuck NIN plays, probably dicking around on my cell phone trying to stay hydrated.

[Kyle]

Is access to the VIP area granted via wristbands? I'm thinking the schizophrenic nature of the lineup could lead to a number of hip hop fans with no interest in NIN who could be bribed into giving them up (since they're on last anyway) if I show up with scissors, tape and a few extra bucks.

[gorny540]

They're getting ridiculous, last week they said set times will be out Monday, yesterday they said it'd be out today, and today they haven't posted anything. Just show me what time NIN is playing til god dammit!

[RJK]

So does anyone have any clue about how much it'll cost me to park for this? Just trying to get my ducks in a row.
What time does everyone plan on showing up to this? I want to go super early but man I hate festivals.

[Leviathant]

If you don't mind walking, you can pretty easily find or cheap parking in other parts of the city. There's a parking garage at 15th Street between Vine St and Spring St that's something like $5 for the day, which is about the best you're going to find, aside from parking in a residential area. It's about a 20 minute walk from the art museum, but it's a walk up the Ben Franklin parkway, which is quite nice.

[Clitoritzin]

Been waiting for this date for a while. Flying from Mexico City.

2 hour set sounds like fun. I just hope we get lucky and they play Sanctified

[Kyle]

So far I see rain on the forecast. :(

[nobies]

Estimated precipation = 0.04 in

That ain't rain, bro. It looks like it's gonna be a lovely day.

[ryanmcfly]

Still waiting on those set times.

[jessamineny]

Still stalking cheap tickets on Stubhub. Ugh.

NIN 930-11

[nobies]

Damn. I was really hoping that they would give NIN a full 2 hours this year.

[Kyle]

Damn. I was really hoping that they would give NIN a full 2 hours this year.
They probably didn't ask for a full two hours. Love it or hate it, this show is very planned out and it comes to about an hour and a half.

In other news, Diarrhea Planet is an awesome band name. I think I'll have to check them out while I'm there.

[gorny540]

730-11 has the chance to be the best ever 210 minutes of my life...

[nobies]

They have the visuals planned out for at least 26-27 songs, possibly more. A 2 hour festival set wouldn't have been completely out of the question.

[gorny540]

They have the visuals planned out for at least 26-27 songs, possibly more. A 2 hour festival set wouldn't have been completely out of the question.

Lolla was 1.45 for NIN 1.15 for Queens, and only 45 mins in between not an hour, I guess that's the difference between a well established festival and an up and coming one, Pearl Jam had 2 hours last year too

[Kyle]

Yeah but Trent gets a little OCD about those things. Even though he has enough rehearsed materials for a two hour set I would have been very surprised if he deviated from what we've been getting. We'll be getting Sanctified or Disappointed but not both. And while I would love a three hour set I wasn't expecting one.

[Kyle]

I've never been to a festival so I don't know how it usually works but I have noticed it set up so that other bands are playing during the interludes between bands.

[username0606]

Anyone up for a beer or two in the afternoon before QOTSA goes on stage?

[haloless]

I've got extra tickets for face value if anyone is looking. My NIN friend from Boston can't make it to the show so he's overnight mailing me 4 tickets total - 2 for Saturday, and 2 for Sunday. He spent $100 on a pair of Saturday + Sunday tickets, then $150 for another pair of Saturday + Sunday tickets. Would prefer to sell them as pairs, but can sell individual tickets for either day around $50-$75. I'm not a scalper, just trying to help my friend get reimbursed since he can't make the show and would rather the tickets goto NIN fans rather than random people on craigslist.

[trollmanen]

So I really only care about seeing Queens and NIN. If I show up at 6:30 am I going to get shafted at a good spot? I have no idea how big this place is going to be, never been to a festival before.

[Kyle]

There's the whole VIP section thing. I'm pretty certain 6:30 am is unnecessary. Not to mention, you clearly have a powerful bladder.

[gorny540]

From the festival's twitter: Not in Philly this wkend? We'll be live-streaming on our @YouTube (https://twitter.com/YouTube) (http://bit.ly/1dSWv5g (http://t.co/wJXzzLUTAF)) & @Spotify (https://twitter.com/Spotify) (http://spoti.fi/17oocyg (http://t.co/lX5MiEjmiT)) channels.

[username0606]

So how does the VIP section work, are they taking up the entire front row? Will there be any front access for Gen Adm? And offer still stands for anyone who wants to grab drinks prior to QOTSA during the daytime.

-Alex

[jessamineny]

According to last year's map (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/threads/1566-2013-09-01-Philadelphia-PA-Made-in-America-Fest?p=123330#post123330), no and yes.

I still want to know how access to the VIP area is granted (see above post). And if anyone wants to meet up beforehand pm me. I might not respond until tomorrow but I'm up for it.

[jessamineny]

If I understand your question correctly, it's granted by you wearing a special wristband or laminate. (And you get a special wristband or laminate if you'd purchased a VIP ticket.)

[Kyle]

If I understand your question correctly, it's granted by you wearing a special wristband or laminate. (And you get a special wristband or laminate if you'd purchased a VIP ticket.)
The main point of the question is "is it something I can buy off of a non-NIN fan who is leaving early?" The answer looks like it might be yes.

[ryanmcfly]

I wish I knew how close the VIP section was, then maybe I would have bought it. I hope I'll be able to bum one off someone leaving.

[Kyle]

I wish I knew how close the VIP section was, then maybe I would have bought it. I hope I'll be able to bum one off someone leaving.
I think they were something like $500 or so. If I'm right, they're not worth it unless "close to the stage" means "on the stage."

[jessamineny]

There was a special through Gilt for "only" $199 for one day ($50 off). I considered it, and asked the MIA Twitter twice about VIP areas (location, etc.) and never got an answer. Annoying.

[Krazy]

In other news, Diarrhea Planet is an awesome band name. I think I'll have to check them out while I'm there.

I literally lol'ed when I saw that banner of set times that gorny540 posted.

[trollmanen]

There's the whole VIP section thing. I'm pretty certain 6:30 am is unnecessary. Not to mention, you clearly have a powerful bladder.

Oops, I meant 6:30 PM. So if we show up an hour early, is that too late to get a good spot?

Just make sure to get the WIZ!

Ok. That makes much more sense. Having never been to one of these types of things before I can't answer your question but at least I don't think you're crazy anymore.

[ThinkIcouldburn]

Little bit last minute, but I'm going. Quite excited. Heading down from NYC area alone, so if anyone else is lonely, feel free to PM.

I'm the guy in this picture that is not Mike Patton. And I'll probably be wearing the same shirt (for some reason it seems to get good reactions from people - including the HTDA bus driver asking to take a picture of me wearing it). If you see me, feel free to stop over and say hi.

It's been confirmed. I think a link to it was posted in this thread already.

Well NIN is listed here:

so I think there is pretty good chance for some stream.

NIN is listed for Sunday on the streaming webpage: youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj6z8hywWFI)
No set times are listed for either Saturday or Sunday yet.

Do you mean for the streaming or for the actual performance? NIN is performing from 9:30-11:00. And the two main stages are all set up so that there's one performing before moving right on to the other. So assuming that the streaming is mainly from the two main stages and not the other two stages (which means you'll have to miss Diarrhea Planet unfortunately), I'm assuming the performances will be streamed live. At the very least, it won't be before 9:30 EDT (obviously) so if you tune in then and just start watching, you'll see them.

OK, Philly native here from Fishtown. This is my first NIN concert. I got my ticket. Getting it printed tomorrow. My first concert I'm going to by myself. I'm 23. I'll be wearing boots, jeans, and a polymer knife in my boot just in case. What else do I need to know? Just keep 5 feet away from me. I'd say 30, but that's unfeasible considering the circumstances. Its ok. Just don't do anything stupid, and we'll all be fine. I mean, I wouldn't wanna have to trap your foot and bend your knee in a direction it isn't supposed to bend, and collapse you down on it with your own body weight. Or jam my palm into your throat and crush your wind pipe. This is just a concert. Lets be friendly. I'm guessing firearms won't be allowed, but hey. Shit happens.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was referring to the streaming. You're probably right in that they'll stream at the same time as the performances, but I might add some time in there for padding, since they usually like to start a stream before the act actually comes on stage and like to keep it going for a minute or so after the act leaves.

[Kyle]

I noticed that the link says "streaming live" so if we're going to take the ad copy literally, it should be starting at 9:30 or reasonably close to that (I think a "tape delay" - do they call them that still - is still considered live).

And if it doesn't start by 9:40 at the latest, sue them for false advertising.

[gorny540]

Heading down to Philly soon, can't wait for tomorrow, I'll be the 20-something white guy wearing a black shirt, come say hi if you see me!

[sick among the pure]

Oh, Fishtown...

So, I don't like being "that guy", but I figure 1)it's a festival and 2)the people I see tomorrow will actually appreciate the shirt. I just got a completely brand new (still has tag) Fragile shirt off eBay, and I've been dying for a "good reason" to wear it. Assuming it fits well, I haven't even tried it on yet.
It's between that, or one of my Chicago Wave Goodbye club shirts. Because nobody else ever gets how awesome they are.
I was originally going to wear my Saul Williams shirt until I remembered it has a big bleach-like stain on the back from the acne medicine I was on at the time :(

HELP ME DECIDE WHAT KIND OF "that guy who wears a shirt of the band he goes to see" I SHOULD BE TOMORROW

Also, mohawk will be up, but natural dark brown. Wanted to hold off on dying it so it can be fresh in October for the arena tour.


Does anyone know a contact number? Their main site now just auto-directs to youtube, and I was hoping to be able to ask about wallet chains. I've had to throw mine away before to get in some places, other places realize it's not a fucking weapon ant more than my own fucking hands and feet. I'd really like to use it because I'm paranoid about losing my keys and wallet in the pit, so I'd have no way to get home or in my apartment once I get there.

[Black Sabbath]

New to the forum here! Been a NIN fan since late 09 and love the new album. Going to the festival tomorrow (as well as 3 other arena shows in October), so I'm more than excited for my first NIN show. Hoping to get to the festival early and going to try for first row :D

[Kyle]

I'm sure you're all there tonight watching Beyonce, right?

Edit - unless that's all she performed. I'd walked away from my desk 20 mins ago and just came back.

After just missing you far too many times, I hope to finally meet you in person tomorrow (well, today). Have a good trip, I've made that drive 4-10 times a year since moving down here, to visit family, and it sucks.
I'll be the guy with a black Fragile shirt and mohawk standing as close to the front as possible. All day. :| Come say hi, I'm sure I'll get bored.

Twenty hours until show time.

True story. First NIN concert I went to I met up with friends at the show but went there myself. I wasn't from Pittsburgh but only going to school there so I didn't know exactly where the arena was so I just got on a bus to downtown and figured I'd follow all the people dressed on black.

Found the place with absolutely no problem at all. :)

[ryanmcfly]

How early did you get there?

We got there during A$AP whatever his name is. He was on the main stage before Public Enemy. When we was done, everyone left to go to the other stage. So it was easy to get that close. In all honesty, I don't think NIN will draw the crowd that Beyonce did. Hell, NIN does not fit in with this crowd at all.

[RJK]

I will be wearing a blue SONOIO shirt. Say hi if you see me.

[shagg_187]

First time in Philly! Thanks for the awesome recommendations. Philly >>> NYC. What a beautiful city.

People are as nice as in Canada lol. I got so high yesterday that I went to a two hour nap between Imagine Dragons. Woke up to Deadmau5.

Will not get brownies today lol. Heading out wearing an army green HDTA shirt, with my friends wearing a Canadian shirt and my brother wearing a British shirt (very smart of them at a "Made in America" tour LOL!)

Gotta admit, as much as I loved the crowd yesterday, let's hope that all QOTSA and NIN fans come out for this event!

[Kyle]

There's a food truck here called lil' Trent's. that made me lol.

[gorny540]

The MIA stream looks good so far. Only paused a couple of times for me. Hopefully we'll get a nice rip of NIN.

josh homme is hilarious, also a bad ass.

[Volk]

wow...that "dubstep" stage audience is like a wasteland.

[R-Dot-Yung]

Enjoyed the shit out of that set. Yeah I was twerking what you gonna do about it. I'm curious as to what the crowd was like beyond the front. I was in front of the VIP section near the rail and couldn't see beyond the giant obtrusive statue in the middle of the park.

[Tomp252]

Amazing show, sound was perfect!

[gorny540]

Awesome show I feel so lucky we got Sanctified and somewhat damaged, I was right on the rail for NIN and Queens as I swooped in after the rap sets were over. During Queens set Josh Eustis walked by and I stuck out my hand for a high 5 and and he cocked back and hit my hand like we just scored a touchdown. Not a fan of festivals but I've been so spoiled as of late with small shows that this was a nice change of pace. Can't wait to have audio and video of the show.

how the fuck do you literally stop a physical action?

[sick among the pure]

Guys, I have way too much to say, and will probably make another post in the morning. Just got out of the shower, made it back to my apartment around midnight.
I was on Robin's side, on the rail, originally in front of him but after a few people had to be pulled out, ended up shifted a little more to the right, so the camera obscured my view of him. Which sucked, but he walked around enough that we exchanged glances a few times. I'm so fucking glad he's back/still with NIN.
First, a few shout-outs, to the chicks behind me during NIN who were at their first show, hope you guys had a blast. And the chick with the mohawk and NIN logo shaved in her head who I told to join ETS, hi and welcome, totally gotta hang in line in NJ!
And of course @jessamineny (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/members/342-jessamineny) who came down and spent the night last night so we could go see NIN together early this morning. She's in the other room right now. HI!
Security were great, in front of me at least. There were 2 main guys who were constantly in front of me, an older white dude who was a grump about everything (complained about how ever band on the list sucked) and a younger black dude who was probably the best local crew security I've dealt with. Anytime someone was being a dick, he dealt with it. He was the one always on the look out for people needing pulled out or surfing, re-filled a lot of people's water near the end of the night, got people ice who were over-heating, gave a bunch of people food (candy, oranges, random free water and gatorade). I might be biased because he was legit pissed when the girls around me for the rappers before QOTSA had never even heard of NIN. Like, I can see not liking NIN. Or even never having heard a NIN song before. But did not know the existence of the band. To the extent that the one thought he was talking to her about her nails. I'm just glad they went to see the other stages when QOTSA came on.

Didn't get to meet ANY of you guys. Unless I just didn't realize it. If so, sorry.

Random stream on consciousness change, I can't believe you guys don't have a high quality rip of the stream ready for me to watch.

Ok, so the show, Trent is so fucking back. He had a lot of energy, and looked like he was enjoying himself. Dancing a lot, bumping into Robin. Said he was glad to be back, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one thinking I'm more glad. This show was a great "warm up" for the arena tour, had a handful of songs from every album. Though I heard about the new Sanctified, I did not know that's what he was playing until the first verse. I like it, would love a studio release, but I think I read somewhere about a rehearsals audio leak, so that'll have to do. I am so behind since I didn't want any spoilers before this show. Hell, HM is still sealed and waiting for a proper listen through tomorrow (all I've heard so far are the live tracks he played tonight, and as soon as he finished Copy Of A I knew I'm going to love this album.)
Visuals were awesome for a festival. I liked the combination of "hey here is some epic screen shit I am made of pixels and there are pretty things happening" and the good old smoke+lights atmosphere for the rock-heavy tracks. Which, even the more "rock" songs sounded more tech than before. Which is cool, except I really missed Robin's guitar solos in Closer. The more album version was nice, but Robin's jarring loud angry distorted guitar was always one of my favorite parts of that song live.
First time getting Me, I'm Not (though wish I had gotten The Great Destroyer with it, both LITS shows I went to got the Warning/Vessel combo) which was great because Me, I'm Not is one of my favorite songs off YZ. Also, I want to say I had never gotten Somewhat Damaged before, but that feels like a lie. idk. It was great either way.
Wish we had gotten another song off The Slip, mostly because I love Head Down and Letting You live. 1,000,000 was still great.

I kinda want to wrap this up for now, because I'm getting up when my fiance gets home for work in the morning and making pizza. Oh, my life.
Luckily, the blisters on my heels popped early in the day so I was fairly pain free, beyond the soreness and heat of being at the gate nearly 2 hours before they opened, then literally on the rail from noon (went straight there, no water stop, bathroom stop, merch stop) till NIN was over. I went before the first band came on to fill my water shit, which my god camel packs are a godsend. I want them to be allowed to every show ever.
But that persistence at the rail, coupled with being a decent human being, is what got me recognized by people I guess. I know a lot of the media photographers got photos of me, the camera guy showed me a lot (so I heard from people watching the streams), and at the end of the day that awesome security guard told the NIN roadie that came to the rail with the setlist that he "need to give it to this guy right here with the mohawk." So, I got a souvenir, fuck yeah. It's on my wall right now.

So, I'm probably biased about that security guy. But I swear he was cool, too.

Oh, some guy, he wasn't wearing the security shirt so idk who he was, said something to me quick in passing before QOTSA. Something along the lines of how I'm probably bored sitting through the other acts and devoted as fuck and "soon Trent will be out here and it'll be worth it."
Then he handed me an ice cold gatorade.

I had a good time.



OH, another random thought. Some of you may have seen me riding out on the back of a paramedic car thing. I'm ok, not my place to talk about what was up, but I'm ok.

edit: durr, WT summer tour had Somewhat Damaged. Ok, I feel better, that was bugging me. I saw in a seat for that show which is why it didn't register for me as having seen it.

[ryanmcfly]

Holy shit. That was hands down, above and beyond the NINJA show I saw them at in Austin. I was one person from the rail, and I had the greatest time ever. I also ended up with one of Trent's guitar picks.Can't wait to see the HD rip.

I just did it from my iPhone. You can take a screen shot by pressing both buttons and saves the image to your camera roll (and can edit it there), then upload it to photobucket and and copy the image tag.

Im probably one of the least technical people on this site so if I can figure it out should be easy for everyone else to get the hang of it.

[Batolle]

What about the setlist? Which songs have been played?

[Emil Dorbell]

Man! Why didn't Milan get Somewhat Damaged!? :)

[RJK]

Had a great time. Bummed we didn't get "The Way Out Is Through" and "What If We Could" but I'm not surprised. Trent seems to make the setlist "harder" when he plays in Philly.

Ended up at the corner of the center rail and the front rail on the left side.

Band sounded really tight. Rob was standing next to me during the first three songs and was visibly upset that something wasn't working right during "Came Back Haunted." I couldn't tell what it was but he was upset.

re: MADE IN AMERICA


Associated Press:

The band's 90-minute set featured hard rock anthems, songs with techno influences as well as groovy and eerie jams. NIN closed the night with a slow and smoky cover of Johnny Cash's "Hurt," which earned nonstop cheers from the crowd. Reznor was soft as he sang the song's verses — making it the set's highlight.

Did anyone snap a pic of the merch booth?

I didn't but it looked like the same stuff they were selling at Lollapalooza, $35 for shirts

[kevinbeetle]

having seen four festival shows streamed already, i was still anxious to see the show last night. me and my buddy got there about an hour before queens of the stone age were going to take the stage. the setup was a lot different than last year, and we were able to walk right up to stage left about 20 feet deep. i'll admit that im not a huge fan of them, but i do know their hits. solid show.

we were gonna stay and hang out to get close, but we figured it wouldnt be that difficult to get back there since it seemed like 3/4 of the crowd were headed over to camp out for calvin harris. i had to support budweiser by buying a couple $11 24oz cans of beer, which were promptly sweated out because of the humidity. made our way back to the stage and was about 50 feet back right in the center by the railing. couple nice, younger fans around me (i'm 40), and none really heard the new stuff yet. i think only a couple of us were rocking out when copy of a starting going. love the new versions of sanctified and terrible lie. im a huge fan of me, i'm not and somewhat damaged, so those were highlights for me. find my way sounded great, but to the generic fan, i think thats the song they will go take a piss to. i could go on an on, but overall, the energy trent put off just straight up killed it. great to see josh blending in so well.

for those that watched the live stream or who were there, did trent say 'thank you new jersey' instead of philly? also, did survivalism sound like a half beat off, or was it just my ears?

one other note. this was my first festival, i think, since lollapalooza in '93. people are fucking slobs. there were tons of garbage/recycling cans all over the place, but the field was littered with garbage. good thing the rain held off until this morning. it was pouring as i was driving back.

this was my 9th time seeing nin. got tix too prudential a few days after my bday, and probably gonna see them in kansas city. cant wait for the arena tour to see how trent and company plan on changing things.

[kevinbeetle]

No but it was just the black tour shirt, red tour shirt, men's and women's Nine Inch Nails shirt and the x-ray shirt. Nothing else.

dont forget the $5 shirts that they were selling on the street afterwards. you could get beyonce on the right side of your chest, and nin on your right.

I'm driving in from Buffalo tomorrow morning. I'll be wearing an awesome ETS shirt. Here's a recent photo of me with my daughter.

[Leviathant]

for those that watched the live stream or who were there, did trent say 'thank you new jersey' instead of philly?

Heh. Not Jersey, Jay-Z.


one other note. this was my first festival, i think, since lollapalooza in '93. people are fucking slobs. there were tons of garbage/recycling cans all over the place, but the field was littered with garbage. good thing the rain held off until this morning. it was pouring as i was driving back.

Nature of the beast, as far back as I can remember.

[Black Sabbath]

Awesome show! Got to the venue around 11 and stood front row all day and it was totally worth it. Very subtle, but I'm the guy in the red shirt, front row around the center of this picture:

Queens blew me away. Almost as good as NIN if not on the same level.


So um, if anyone sees this guy, report him to security, yeah?

Shows over bro. Been there, and done that. There were no problems except for one drunken asshole who needed to get floored. He came to his senses afterwards.

Someone shat themselves. We were walking towards the stage as people were leaving from Wiz Khalifa to go watch Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and we saw some people surrounding this girl. She looked like she was having a heat stroke, and when we passed her, we saw that she got a little too messed up.

[ItsJustDave]

i think i saw you or your doppelganger. the guy i saw had a black nin shirt? saw him stage left for queens of the stone age, then after the show on the streets with a woman by some irish bar. i had a bacon shirt on. shaved head. looked like a hot mess.

Not I. I was wearing a light grey echoingthesound shirt. I chased down a few people I thought we're from ETS, but came up empty. It was nice to see Leviathant and @Mormolyke again and good to meet bgalbraith, but regret not bumping into @sickamongthepure for the billionth time. Also, I thought I spotted Kyle in his brown shirt, but t'was not the shirt I was looking for (pretty sure the 2 guys I chased down thought I was on something. I'm sorry, I thought you were someone I've never met).

This is not the first doppleganger I've heard of. I need to track some of these guys down and send them to the office on my behalf now & then.

What's your verdict on the kilt? I give it a 7, would be higher but kanye rocket the black kilt first

[orestes]

It's not a kilt. (http://www.hervia.com/loin-pod-drop-crotch-shorts-black-p9697)

[TheBang]

That's a lot of money for something that looks like a kilt.

[halo33]

I ran into a few old friends from past queues and whatnot, (forget their screen names) but other than that, I failed to meet up with anyone. I was trying my best to rock out a bit in front of Josh, but the crowd seemed pretty tame and I didn't want to piss off too many people. :(
I feel bad enough being 6'4.

Fun show though. Looking forward to Tension and Voodoo fest.

[bigbadjesus]

What was with the dude that had to be heaved over the barrier by security and squirted with water? Too much MDMA? This was like 3-4pm

[ericy210]

Thanks, the clothes on the site are cool as hell, too bad I'm not!

[TheyCallMeDrug]

great show. i was leaning on the T-barrier about 2/3 of the way between the stage and soundboard - perfect view. sanctified, copy of a, came back haunted, find my way and something damaged popping up unexpectedly were all highlights. the lights were dead on and so was the sound. cant wait for october.

I will never meet you. I will eat lunch 2 tables away, but never meet you. It's the universe, man.

Did anyone make a cover for this with the "corner N" logo? I thought so but I am a bit crap this morning and looked but couldn't find one...

[NINfan04]

Just finished watching the show on Youtube. I was really impressed with the energy level and enthusiasm of the whole band. They had a pretty good set list for a festival show imo. Everyone sounded on point including Rubin's "Wish" breakdown which I've politely critiqued in the past :P I'm really looking forward to the full HM tour when we get the full experience and set list surprises. Now off to listen to HM for the first time start to finish... :)

[Kyle]

Without sounding corny, it seemed like something clicked between the band and the crowd more than at other NIN shows I've been at including Wave Goodbye. In all fairness though it may have just been that I've never been to a festival before and was expecting it to be very impersonal and am exaggerating the fact that it wasn't.

Would love to have one of these covers as well. Whoever was doing them was excellent.

I had the exact opposite experience. Everyone that was around me for NIN were not nice and very unpleasant. Killed the while vibe for me.

Just goes to show how big a difference there can be at festivals.

Was that before, or after NIN came on?

[RJK]

It was before and during. I had like one nice person near me.

[TheyCallMeDrug]

some pretty drunk 'bro' 3 people away from me yelled "GET OFF THE STAGE" in the middle of find my way. got a good laugh off that one. im still curious who else he thought was going on stage after nin.

rest of the crowd was very into nin/respectful in my area though.

I had a couple annoying 'bro' types in front of me during QOTSA but everyone near me during NIN was awesome.

this is 1 hr 20 min of the set someone captured on the first stream. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skyuagmu4cY

edit - I didn't even notice until just now.... did someone pee in a water bottle?

[TheyCallMeDrug]

there was def piss in water bottles.

on the bright side which I dunno if anyone saw: there were about a dozen workers with huge leaf rakes and garbage bins cleaning up after wiz khalifa before qotsa. I've never seen that at a festival before. I mean, where the fuck do you expect people to put bottles/can when the nearest garbage can is a 10 min walk away and you're in a dense crowd? i think they did a great job over all.

[bigbadjesus]

I nearly got into a fight with some hawaiian dude near the end when he kept moshing into me while I was trying to enjoy the music. I don't even know if it was him, but he's the one I punched in the face for it. Other than that it was a good experience. But man, talk about LITTERBUGS. All that fucking trash at the end. Wouldn't have surprised me if people just stood there and shat themselves rather than walking to the toilets.
