COLD and BLACK and INFINITE - The Fall 2018 NIN Tour SPOILERS THREAD

[ltrandazzo]

Hey y'all.

This will serve as the spoiler thread for the fall tour starting tonight. I'll lock the old thread once we know the show has started so keep posting in the old one if you like until then.

Thanks!

Hmmm... link’s not working for me. I just got here. I’m in line. I’m a bald dude wearing a They Live t-shirt (OBEY).

Try this one maybe?

It worked for me! Now excuse me while I have a cry for the loss of all the money I’m gonna spend on posters and shirts this year. You win, Reznor.

100% this. Thanks for posting the photo. I’m not sure how I feel about it, but... I’mma buy one.

[caca]

Sweet! I grabbed a regular version, a variant, and the tour poster.

[Krazy]

It’s a robo-something face with piano keys for teeth?

[richardp]

Any changes to the stage set-up? Or is it seemingly still the piss soaked sheet?

Piss soaked sheet was just lowered.
Looks like the same setup.

I wanna know how JAMC was! And What they played! someone updated like....4 songs to the setlist.fm but that was it. They're my other favorite band im so hyped for this tour.

[TheBang]

"Last" confirmed

BnsWjjKFCaN

[thefragile_jake]

Holy fuck ... they're playing "Happiness in Slavery! (https://www.instagram.com/p/BnsXWcBFdGz/?tagged=nineinchnails)"

[TheBang]

And opened with Pinion. Is this Broken in full?

Edit: I think so. According to setlist.fm, they're up to "Gave Up" already. What a fucking way to open the tour!

[m0reta]

Ennnnnhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!m

[brokenfragility]

It is! https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/nine-inch-nails/2018/comerica-theatre-phoenix-az-2be99c12.html

[Ribbitman]

Holy fucking shit. First time since 95

[FernandoDante]

This better not be some setlist.fm trolling. Holy shit.

[sonic_discord]

Wow. Those lucky fuckers are getting Broken in its entirety?!?

Can't be. The Instagrams back it up.

[bobbie solo]

Def. not fake. watch the IG videos.

HOOOOOOOOLY FUUUUUUUCK!!!!!

[Lerxto]

We really need a full live recording of this tour.
Every show will be special.

[m0reta]

Sooooo. Physical and Suck toooooooooootooooooooooo maaayyyybeeee?? *crosses fingers that this beautiful start is repeated down the line*

[icklekitty]

Holy fuck ... they're playing "Happiness in Slavery! (https://www.instagram.com/p/BnsXWcBFdGz/?tagged=nineinchnails)"


Waaat.

[richardp]

Fucking chriiiiiiist. Now I'm even more fucking bummed that this tour isn't coming anywhere near KC.

[thefragile_jake]

I can't find any new videos and setllist.fm hasn't updated yet ... what if they made them wait forever and then came back to do Physical and Suck.

"Hi Phoenix. Tonight, you're getting the CD release experience of Broken. Enjoy."

[TheBang]

Physical:

BnsYyDtl41l

[bobbie solo]

Long ass time since he played Physical too, right? Or did he whip that out in 2009?

EDIT: Setlist.fm is your best friend. Played it several times in 2009.

[thefragile_jake]

Fucking chriiiiiiist. Now I'm even more fucking bummed that this tour isn't coming anywhere near KC.

Me too man. I'm really hoping they extend this tour next year and either St. Louis or Kansas City gets a date. Guess we'll see.

We're doing the Nashville show in a few weeks, but I REALLY want to catch that Saturday show in Chicago. =/

[frankie teardrop]

Long ass time since he played Physical too, right? Or did he whip that out in 2009?


Yup. Webster hall, and others.

[TheBang]

Yeah, a few times during Wave Goodbye:

http://nintourhistory.com/song.php?songid=151

And before that, a few times during Further Down the Spiral. Before that, it was a staple on the Lollapalooza and Europe tour.

[thefragile_jake]

SUCK! (https://www.instagram.com/p/BnsZEvOlSN2/?tagged=nineinchnails)

I’m hoping they schedule some dates in South America and manage not to cancel them.

[TheBang]

Like Last, HiS is pitched down when played live. What I didn't realize until just now is that they pitched it down even during the TDS tours.

[bobbie solo]

I have shit to do....I got family coming over tomorrow for the weekend. Instead, it's 1am & I'm here F5ing this thread & setlist.fm like a madman. Fucking Trent. Why couldn't I just be a Slayer diehard & barely ever be surprised?

[icklekitty]

The only thing that’s really annoying me about this is that I’ve seen all those songs live except HiS. Need the full set, and I wouldn’t have been at a NIN gig when I was 8.

[TheBang]

I wonder if they'll play a different album in full each night of the tour.

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

Holy shit. I was getting antsy checking setlist.fm and seeing “oh har har, someone put the Broken tracklist as a placeholder.”

I am IMMEASURABLY HYPE for the rest of this tour. I HAVE to make all three night in a Chicago happen now.


Fucking chriiiiiiist. Now I'm even more fucking bummed that this tour isn't coming anywhere near KC.

I was discussing that with a coworker today actually. It’s probably entirely wishful thinking, but given NIN’s past touring habits and the number of cities being hit this time around, I kind of have a gut feeling that we’ll be seeing more shows announced for next year.

Then again, the VERY first night I saw NIN live, we got back to our hotel and when I opened up my laptop, they’d announced the second leg of the LITS tour, so maybe now I’m spoiled into always thinking there will be more dates announced mid-tour, heh.

[BRoswell]

Well, there goes my opinion about him never playing it again. From the clip I saw, it doesn't sound too bad. I hope to god somebody got a good recording of it.

[bobbie solo]

A thousand lips, a thousand tongues.

[bobbie solo]

I wonder if they'll play a different album in full each night of the tour.

So.....how many nights in LA? How many releases in total?

[Ribbitman]

I wonder if they'll play a different album in full each night of the tour.

Oh my god if this happens

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

I can see it now.

Band, during rehearsals: “So, how many songs are we gonna have to memorize this time around?”

Trent: “All of them.”

[thefragile_jake]

Holy shit. I was getting antsy checking setlist.fm and seeing “oh har har, someone put the Broken tracklist as a placeholder.”

Totally hear ya on the Chicago thing. I had finally just talked myself out of the idea of being on the hunt for the Saturday tickets since that was going to be the only one that worked for me schedule wise ... but this has me so hyped.

Hopefully if 2019 for sure brings more tour dates ... we'll get something a little closer our way.

I don't think so, for one Atticus doesnt like to tour very much, thats been said, and TR said they were just going to put together things to do light shows every now and again. They have families and stuff I doubt you're every going to see tour after tour after tour again like those days.

[icklekitty]

There are some glaring omissions on this tour though so there might be more to come even if it’s just a month next year.

[Papagolash]

OMG they opened up the tour by playing Broken for the 1st time ever in its entirety, followed by MOTP and Reptile. This setlist literally grabs you by the anus and tears you in half.

[TheBang]

I wonder if they'll play a different album in full each night of the tour.
Well, their scheduled play time is 1 hour 35 minutes, and The Fragile (in CD form) is 1 hour 43 minutes, so, sorry Fragile fans.

[thefragile_jake]

Shit Mirror! (https://www.instagram.com/p/BnsbacnB76t/?taken-at=445280)

[thefragile_jake]

Well, their scheduled play time is 1 hour 35 minutes, and The Fragile (in CD form) is 1 hour 43 minutes, so, sorry Fragile fans.

Fragile Disc 1 could be on night one, Fragile Disc 2 could be on the second night.

[Lerxto]

I wonder what will happen throughout the final 6 night stand of this tour. This is Wave Goodbye 2.0 level excitement, only this time NIN is not shutting down for a while.

[TheBang]

The only problem with tonight's setlist is with Gave Up and Wish being played so early, how does Trent get into and out of the "slow" section??

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

I don't think so, for one Atticus doesnt like to tour very much, thats been said, and TR said they were just going to put together things to do light shows every now and again. They have families and stuff I doubt you're every going to see tour after tour after tour again like those days.

Like I said, it’s just wishful thinking, but it’s not like anyone can say so either way. How many musicians with families manage to tour day in and day out for a while before hanging it up again? No one is expecting tour after tour after tour, but to say theres a sliver of a chance that they announce shows for springtime isn’t entirely out of the question. *shrug* I mean. At this rate, I, for one, am going to be forking over every dollar I can to this tour, so it could prove to be pretty lucrative for them to keep striking while the iron’s hot. Even if not, I’ll be extremely happy to say I got to see them at least three times on this touring cycle.

you right, its jsut with the way they were talking about having the band to only play shows every now and then, I was surprised they even did one whole tour. But you right, in the spring they could play more shows. I jsut dont think any tour is going to have a loooot of shows.

[TheBang]

Fragile Disc 1 could be on night one, Fragile Disc 2 could be on the second night.
Brilliant! Or, for the cities with 3 shows, Vinyl 1 on night 1, Vinyl 2 on night 2, and Vinyl 3 on night 3.

[thefragile_jake]

Nothing's been updated for awhile, but I'm sure this is the Bad Witch material part of the show.

Ohhh, well, I’d definitely agree with you there. I wouldn’t expect to see some massive 50-stop tour after this, but maybe like 15-20 ish, at most. Fill in some of the gaps on the map. *cough*showkansascitysomelove*cough*

[thefragile_jake]

Nope! Afraid of Americans!!! Yes!

[sweeterthan]

10 years ago almost.

updates here https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/nine-inch-nails/2018/comerica-theatre-phoenix-az-2be99c12.html Shit Mirror and I'm Afraid of Americans last 2 songs

[Lerxto]

At one show in Japan Trent talked about how he didn't wanna go back to, and I quote, "fucking Trumpland" and this is the show he drops the first night of the tour?
Can't wait for Chicago shows. Bless us with Broken there too, Trent.

[sonic_discord]

This is seriously the best setlist ever. I hope we're half this lucky in Chicago!

[brokenfragility]

[AThousandDaysBefore]

They played Ahead of Ourselves after Shit Mirror

Wow this setlist is fucking amazing, now I want more dates for Mexico :( I wanna listen every song

[icklekitty]

Only was played over the summer and those are on the back sheet.

[thefragile_jake]

Only was played over the summer and those are on the back sheet.

Yeah, but like ... not that often? I could've sworn it was just during one show but I'm probably wrong.

Whoa, now Head Like a Hole ... hopefully that just means it's earlier in the set. (https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnse9XnjATz/?tagged=nineinchnails)

Actually ... if they're ending around 10:45 ... they're probably done at this point.

[TheBang]

Yeah, but like ... not that often? I could've sworn it was just during one show but I'm probably wrong.
A handful of dates:

http://nintourhistory.com/song.php?songid=75

[brokenfragility]

I love how were just leeching off random people's instagram. and I meant the effects on the screen, I thought they might do something more with the screen after that but seems theyre just head like a hole-ing now

[nooneimportant]

Hey guys, what's going tonight with the show?

*sees setlist*

https://i.imgur.com/zh9sXcw.gif

[m0reta]

Oh Trent!! HA HA! You are playing all of PHM tomorrow aren't you?

[sweeterthan]

Did they really only play 13 songs?

[BRoswell]

Oh Trent!! HA HA! You are playing all of PHM tomorrow aren't you?

Let's not get TOO carried away. The day they play Kinda I Want To again is the day I laugh myself into a coma.

[thefragile_jake]

Did they really only play 13 songs?

14 I guess now with Hurt (https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnsg5fHFtS9/?taken-by=aeriboo242).

14 does seem pretty short, but I wonder how unpredictable and crazy each set list is gonna be from here on out.

EDIT: 15 .... Looks like THTF was played.

EDIT: Oh wait, looks like The Lovers was played. There may have been some we missed.

[Ribbitman]

Wasn't Ahead Of Ourselves played?

[magnolia]

YOU GUYS. I’m having trouble processing what all I just saw. Broken played front to back to start the show, holy shiiiiiiit! The floor was going crazy! Right before the show started, I told my friend that I “really want them to surprise me! I wish they’d start with Pinion!” My god. Every time that I think I’ve already seen their best show that I’m going to see, I’m wrong.

More later when I can arrange all my thoughts coherently.

[bobbie solo]

This setlist is a perfect balance between nerds like us & casual fans. Dig deep early for us (although you do get Wish right off the bat) & finish off with the hits for them. Something like would be perfect for my group of 8 at the first night at Radio City.

What kinda Pinion was it? And was HMIAIH done live (I'm assuming so)? Any video?

EDIT: It was live. That IG user above pondbrain posted a vid of HMIAIH.

[Krazy]

Can confirm Broken was played. Fuck. Yes.

The shorter version of Pinion was played, not extended. Wasn’t the 10 second one from LITS though.

[BRoswell]

Another clip of "Happiness In Slavery".
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnshh5vHnf8

[Krazy]

Also this lightning rig looked way better in a smaller theatre than large festival grounds. It was in no way state of the art production but fit what they seemed to want to accomplish.

[Kyle]

But was HiS accompanied by a FDtS level of destruction?

[Krazy]

But was HiS accompanied by a FDtS level of destruction?

Was a pretty straight forward version off of Broken. Trent used a megaphone for some latter parts. It was really awesome- mix was a bit off so would’ve sounded better towards the end of the show but no complaining here. About time that song came out of hibernation and it did not disappoint.

[Kyle]

The only thing that’s really annoying me about this is that I’ve seen all those songs live except HiS. Need the full set, and I wouldn’t have been at a NIN gig when I was 8.

Same here except Physical is the one I haven't seen

[botley]

Fuck fuck fuck, "Happiness" sounds so fucking good...

[StockAvuryah]

Fucking hell that's a good start

[ManBurning]

Holy shit! Now this is what I call a fantastic way to open a tour. Can't believe they played Broken in full! While I was reading setlist.fm, it didn't even click until I got to "Happiness in Slavery" and my heart just started pounding. I didn't even finish reading the rest of the setlist. I stopped and came here RIGHT AWAY to see what everyone was saying.

All I know now is, this first show has justified me going down to LA for some of the shows. I was on the fence if it was going to be the same set as Europe, but holy smokes... this blows europe out of the water!!

Also, if I am going to LA, I don't think I want to look at any more setlists... Who knows what they're bound to bust out next... and This Isn't The Place as well? Man, you guys in Phoenix got a huge treat of a night.

I have a feeling "Not Anymore" and "The Idea of you" will be popping up on this tour.

I also have a feeling that one of these shows is going to be one of the trilogy albums in full now.
This is why I am unhealthily obsessed with this band. They do shit like this.
What a time to be a NIN fan!!!

[WorzelG]

So pleased they put This isn’t the place in there according to the tour journal. Some woman on twitter is whining about lack of Closer and Copy of A (randomly) so you can’t win with setlists

[melancholyyouth]

Live debut of This Isn't The Place.

Saw this on the NIN reddit page: Also, I found it very interesting what Trent said after This Isn't the Place. He said that song was about a friend that he recorded the "next song" (I'm Afraid of Americans) with a few years back. I'm not sure if Trent has ever officially confirmed the song was about Bowie. I just thought it was neat.

I'm so happy that they're playing This Isn't The Place, it's the standout track from the trilogy for me, and to have it confirmed that it's about Bowie, which I've always suspected, just takes it to another level. And they played Suck again, another favourite! Less Than is now an encore song too...is that the first time?

[Helpmeiaminhell (is now in hell)]

Sick that they finally busted out "Happiness In Slavery" although it looked like TR was afraid to hit those 1995 high notes and piercing screams....

[Fred]

Well, fuck me sideways.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPJTNSxGUh4

[ssjboss]

wow! waiting for Happiness in Slavery full video!!

[witte]

This is an excellent start. Let's see how this develops. Chicago in 6 weeks. Hopefully they won't forget to play more from the last EP trilogy :)

[Lerxto]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPJTNSxGUh4

Somebody help me I can't stop watching this video
That breakdown with 3 keyboards + drums. Shit!

[TheBang]

Sick that they finally busted out "Happiness In Slavery" although it looked like TR was afraid to hit those 1995 high notes and piercing screams....
Yeah, I noticed that too. He just doesn't scream like that anymore, or he'll blow out his voice.

[somewhat_]

Ahh, The memories of the broken tease -Chicago 2009

[StockAvuryah]

So pleased they put This isn’t the place in there according to the tour journal. Some woman on twitter is whining about lack of Closer and Copy of A (randomly) so you can’t win with setlists

Who the fuck complains about the lack of singles when Broken was just played Ahah

[nooneimportant]

Happiness in Slavery sounds even better than it did when they were originally playing it in 1994. It's exactly how I pictured it in my head and it's incredible. All that was missing was the sound of microphones hitting the floor and a keyboard flying across the stage.

[acrid avid jam shred]

Holy fucking shit, Broken in full! What an awesome way to kick off the show! Really nice to see This Isn't the Place in the set too, hopefully The Idea of You and more tracks from the trilogy pop up at the next gigs.

Seems like this tour's gonna have a bunch of great surprises!

[fillow]

Did they play that godawful version of Only with pre-recorded drums and Ilan on bass again?

[nooneimportant]

Did they play that godawful version of Only with pre-recorded drums and Ilan on bass again?

It looks like they did. I dig the live drums better.

[Max]

This is awesome, and it just dawned on me WHY he had us standing in line: if you know that your biggest fans are going to be at the show, the ones who stood in line for eight hours, then you can do ANYTHING. You can play the whole Broken EP one night. Maybe another night they play a quiet set. Maybe they’ll play some of the instrumental tracks or the new trilogy in its entirety. There’s no telling. We might really be in for a ride here!!

[Lerxto]

Did they play that godawful version of Only with pre-recorded drums and Ilan on bass again?
As one who witnessed it live it was not godawful as it seems like :)
I like the drum sound of Only/Fur-Lined. I guess they preferred studio drums to live drums. Cortini could handle the bass duty with Atticus onstage, even Trent can fwiw. It's one of the easiest.

[BrokenSpiral]

Yessssss

[Haysey_Draws]

That's one HELL of a set list!

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

Ahh, The memories of the broken tease -Chicago 2009

With any luck, that tease might finally pay off this year if Broken sticks around for a few nights of the tour.

[thefragile_jake]

DAMN! Way more got added to that set by the time I went to bed. Though I hope God Break Down the Door comes back into the set more as that song sounded incredible live. If they keep debuting new material from the Trilogy, hopefully Not Anymore is next to debut!

[nooneimportant]

One of the things that gets me about Happiness in Slavery being played again is that Robin Finck is the only guitarist to play that song. His backing vocals, his guitar tone, that's how it should be.

[ricardo]

Wow. Can't believe they played HIS. It sounds great! Love love that guitar riff. Trent you son of a bitch... What a way to kick off a new tour.

[Kyle]

I'll admit I wasn't entirely certain how today's NIN could pull off a song like HiS, which is primarily fueled by rage.

Holy shit I was wrong, that sounds amazing. The lights during the breakdown worked perfectly as well.

[simonn]

Can't see videos for TITP up yet, but if anyone does, can they link them in here please? I'm a lazy Youtube or bust kinda guy...!

[klyrish]

Oh lord this is amazing. I'm so jealous of everyone at the show last night! Can't wait to see what gets played tonight and my anticiperection for both nights at Red Rocks is definitely going to last longer than four hours. Holy shit.

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

I'll admit I wasn't entirely certain how today's NIN could pull off a song like HiS, which is primarily fueled by rage.

I’d be willing to bet having to return to “Trumpland” is gonna provide them with all the rage they need to pull it off.

[nooneimportant]

Cold and Black and Infinite Tour more like Fuck Off Tour.

Bring it on.

[high def ultra-realism]

They played Ahead of Ourselves after Shit Mirror

Wow this setlist is fucking amazing, now I want more dates for Mexico :( I wanna listen every song

I'm pretty sure they'll come back to the festival setlist for Corona Capital. But I'm with you on a second date at a concert hall, that would be way better than shitty CC PA. Let's wish for the best :D

[imail724]

Happiness in Slavery sounds even better than it did when they were originally playing it in 1994. It's exactly how I pictured it in my head and it's incredible. All that was missing was the sound of microphones hitting the floor and a keyboard flying across the stage.
I was totally expecting trent to scream "COME ONNNN" after "he thinks he knows what he wants" a la Woodstock.

[botley]

This is awesome, and it just dawned on me WHY he had us standing in line: if you know that your biggest fans are going to be at the show, the ones who stood in line for eight hours, then you can do ANYTHING. You can play the whole Broken EP one night. Maybe another night they play a quiet set. Maybe they’ll play some of the instrumental tracks or the new trilogy in its entirety. There’s no telling. We might really be in for a ride here!!
Yuppers! :)

[Come_Reptile]

Insane. So happy for everyone who got to see this! HIS sounds killer, they still got it. Holy fuck.

[eachpassingphase]

I’m so pumped y’all. This setlist is killer, the videos I’ve seen so far sound great. Less than 2 weeks for me and I’m dying with excitement to see what the setlist looks like in Memphis.

[mauro995]

This year the band is sounding better than ever and Trent's voice is in great shape. It's incredible how they still manage to achieve the right sound of a record as aggressive as Broken live.

Someone spoiled the set for me on facebook of course. Oh well. BROKEN!!!!!!!

Really hope we can get at least a pro shot of Happiness in Slavery.

edit: looks like the guy with the camera was on stage for Happiness in Slavery.

NIN just straight up posted a pic of the setlist on their IG.

[ryanmcfly]

NIN just straight up posted a pic of the setlist on their IG.

Of course they did. I unfollowed and muted everything on twitter. But a buddy of mine shared an article about it on facebook after i unfollowed everything nin related on there.

[BRoswell]

Looks like they were filming it too. Hopefully that video gets posted soon.

[buckaroo]

Honestly, in my opinion, at this point playing Happiness in Slavery is about as shocking as if they had played The Perfect Drug or Kinda I Want To... lets hope for some sweet That's What I Get on this tour! After that set I am really expecting some nice surprises.

[AThousandDaysBefore]

So pleased they put This isn’t the place in there according to the tour journal. Some woman on twitter is whining about lack of Closer and Copy of A (randomly) so you can’t win with setlists


I saw the message of that woman and is the most stupid thing I've read in a long time, is a fucking selfish whining, this is my problem with social media, Fb, youtubers, twitter and all that shit, everyone needs to have a opinion, but people don't say anything interesting, just throw their shit, If someone "famous" doesn't like something everybody says the same, if someone likes something everyone likes. Fucking Assholes
Are you going to ask a refund just because a band don't play ONE FUCKING SONG? You are not the only "fan" you know? There are a lot of fans, who are really happy, but sorry, this topic is not for talking about that crap...

[ManBurning]

I really hope someone recorded this show. I need a really great recording of the Broken EP live.

[sticksandhair]

Full Broken! :eek:shocked! oh man hope they do this in Detroit!

was thinking the same thing last night. About a decade ago Trent’s voice was a bit of a mess (LITS and Wave Goodbye) after getting sick early during the LITS tour. He probably sounds better now than during WT era.

I overheard a few people mumble about no Closer last night. It wasn’t bitching, more of a shock to them that they don’t play their most well known song. I’m definitely of expecting another night of Broken tonight, but do expect Closer to hit some set lists.

[TheRealNs1]

I guess I should've made the drive to AZ yesterday afterall

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

I saw her comments, too. Ya know, if you went to both nights (or let’s say three nights) in a row and got no “Closer,” I could see being a little bummed if that’s a favorite of yours. But to say it ruins your night? Have you ever known anything about this band that you “love?” How spoiled are you? I’m kinda hoping they don’t play it tonight either, heh. And if they do, I kinda hope she didn’t get a ticket to the second show and misses out. Grow up.

Play the same set every night, and everyone gets an equal experience. Play a different set every night, and everyone gets a unique experience. You can’t win, and as a fan, you have to realize that before you get up in arms about your favorite song not being played. For all we know, Broken may not even be played in its entirety again, who knows? But no, be mad because the song played at every show for 20 years didn’t get more play. How unfortunate.

[m0reta]

I am ok for setlist spoilers as it's not real until I see it played in person! A song title alone cannot represent the few minutes enveloped in fog, blinded by that front row of lights or the ones in the side when they turn suddenly flashing white repeatedly over and over, the harsh feedback from the massive speakers across the stage and to each side, and the flickering caperrings of the mad man I am trying not too stare too long at cuz there's four other beasts around him, but then he's pulling that mic stand close, choking the life out of it, his lips opening in secret....

Iiiiiii-uh have survived EVEryyyyyiiiii-thinggggg!!

The first thing my brother texted me this morning (he lives in NJ, I’m in AZ) was “no closer??” After he saw the set list. I texted him back and just told him that’s I’ve seen it live before, and because we got the whole Broken EP, I didn’t mind at all not hearing it. And honestly, I’d take anything from The fragile over closer any day.

[rampface]

Can't wait to see a full show vid

Grrr still no video of This Isn't The Place, that's the best song to come out of the trilogy, been wondering what it would sound like live.

Grrr still no video of This Isn't The Place, that's the best song to come out of the trilogy, been wondering what it would sound like live.

There was effectively NO stage presence for this song. It was black save for a two layer purple LED line that was projected from the back screen. That was it. Sounded amazing.

[sonic_discord]

I still want to see/hear it. This Isn't the Place is my favorite track on Add Violence.

[sick among the pure]

Yeah, I got accidental spoiled last night (friend was there and refused to post anything setlist-wise, but one of her friends commented about it. I'm ok with that, because it wasn't like "they played a song off the Trilogy that they didn't before so that's a possibility" it's more like "they could LITERALLY PLAY ANYTHING at this point WHO KNOWS HOLY FUCK" so honestly I'll be going into my shows still as unknowing as I was yesterday morning.

All I can say is now this fucking 23 hour one way drive I'm starting tomorrow morning will be worth it.

SEE YOU IN RED ROCKS!

[gamecat235]

I still want to see/hear it. This Isn't the Place is my favorite track on Add Violence.

seeing as recordings exist, I’m sure it’ll come out. But the video? Imagine a line, and people as the segmented cross section that obscures the line as partial silhouettes in front of it. Done. No exaggeration.

[Shadaloo]

WHAT IN THE FUCK :D

Never thought I'd see the day

[Shadaloo]

Hey guys I just thought I'd pop in and see what the setlist wa-


o:

what

[Callahan]

holy. fucking. shit.

I'm super bummed I won't be catching a show on this tour!! Happiness in Slavery?! Really hoping there's a tour that goes into the new year, would love to be there to catch this live.

While moshing has never been a thing for me, it's weird to see the crowd so calm and chill for this song. This song just reeks of chaos, and I fully envision people jumping around like mad.

[Pbgut]

V e r y exciting. The level of fan appreciation/service in playing a whole EP like that as a surprise is weirdly heartwarming and makes you wonder what else is in store this tour.

[loopcloses]

This Isn't the Place was terrific. Moody lighting, super atmospheric, Robin was on a synth subbing in for Trent's vocalizing during the instrumental portions.

If I'm bummed about anything it's that God Break Down the Door got dropped from the setlists--I wouldn't have guessed this listening to the record, but from all the recordings I've seen itnwas easily the one I was most excited for. Would've loved getting that in the encore instead of Less Than (which, while good, does seem a tiny bit redundant coming right after Survivalism and The Hand That Feeds)

[BrokenSpiral]

So they played all of Broken in order that night? That’s fucking awesome.

[eachpassingphase]

I can understand being kind of bummed if your fave song doesn't get played. But I see people on Twitter/Insta @ Nin (https://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=6236) and Trent's official accounts with their super-hostile screeching and complaining after a show and I'm just...ugh. We are talking about a guy who has released nearly 30 years of content. Trent has like 200 songs to choose from on any given night!

What in the actual fuck do they expect their concert experience to be like? It's kind of impossible to make a setlist that will please everyone once you've amassed such a huge catalog.

It's one thing to think to yourself "bummer, I would have really liked to hear "Closer" but oh well, great show". But to tag musicians publicly while you rant about how they ruined your life by not playing "your" song? Come on now.

[K-Rice]

Holy shit. I have tickets for both Atlanta shows. I wanted to avoid setlist spoilers but couldn't resist. I have no idea what to expect now. Broken is unbelievable.

[ryanmcfly]

[Ribbitman]

Oh my god please play this the 2nd night of Atlanta

[Halo Infinity]

I love the abum With Teeth, but can do without Every Day Is Exactly The Same. I don't hate it, I can tolerate it, but kinda tune it out when it comes on. I'd take Home over EDIETS if I had to choose one to go in place of another. But for me, With Teeth is still the best post-Fragile album. The next release I loved was Not The Actual Events. Those two are at the top of my post-Fragile list.
Home is also yet another one my most favorite songs from With Teeth, so that works for me too, but for different reasons. I see where you're coming from though, as I'm kind of like that with Underneath It All on The Fragile.


Well, fuck me sideways.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPJTNSxGUh4 @Bachy (https://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=3010) - Whoa, well it looks like my wish came true after all. ;)

https://www.echoingthesound.org/community/threads/139-Random-NIN-Thoughts?p=338294#post338294

Now for it to also become true on the actual upcoming performance I'm attending this year. :D

I also found this after searching for the Woodstock 1994 performance of Happiness In Slavery. I'm so glad to see it finally return live.


WHAT IN THE FUCK :D

Never thought I'd see the day
Me neither, and hearing a portion of it during The Great Destroyer was such a fucking tease. If anything, I hope that means we'll also get Kinda I Want To, The Only Time and Ringfinger back.


So they played all of Broken in order that night? That’s fucking awesome. @elevenism (https://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=2475) - I wish for you to be in a show where that happens. And well, considering how Broken is one your overall ultimate favorites and introduction to Nine Inch Nails to start with. I could go either way, but I still like to sometimes fantasize about just walking into a Pretty Hate Machine + Broken show. If only, ever. :D

@Prettybrokenspiral (https://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=911) - I also didn't want you to miss it. :)

[Sarah K]

Dear god.

I was expecting nothing new from Vegas. Here we are song two of night two, and I am in utter disbelief. I don't even know what these feelings are.

[m0reta]

Honestly I would love to see all of HM live.

Also how hilarious would it be if one night it was some varation of remixes and we got Closer to God back but also hey! Here's TPD.

[Kyle]

After Piggy, it went into other songs. But a truly epic trolling would have been to play all of TDS tonight and then tomorrow start the Fragile but then play Frail - > Closer (or really anything other than the wretched but closer seems like better trolling)

[bobbie solo]

Over & Out live debut?!? Can anyone confirm?

[bobbie solo]

Supposedly God Given now.

Over and Out is a really great song. I wonder how it translates live.

[WorzelG]

PLEASE tell me there’s footage somewhere of Trent playing the sax again! I’m assuming that’s Over and Out

[nooneimportant]

Ah yes, Setlist.fm posted The Perfect Drug. Wouldn't be a setlist update without that trolling.

[Deacon Blackfire]

I was going to try avoiding setlist spoilers for Cold & Black & Infinite until NYC but I saw a headline about Broken in its entirety at the first show and that was the end of that.

But for real though. Between that show, and what's coming in about tonight's, I'm really going to have to stop looking. Fulfilling my greatest hopes, this seems to be channeling the Wave Goodbye 2009 shows, where they did crazy shit like playing TDS live and had really diverse, deep cut heavy sets, and at this point I'm in this great place where I'm even more clueless what the shows I'm seeing are going to consist of while being positive it will be something nuts.

I was hoping Trent would be thinking about all the die-hards waiting for hours at the Physical World presale when he and the band determined setlists for this tour and, if these shows were any indication, it certainly feels that way. Cold & Black & Infinite seems like it's going to be very special - it already is!

Fuck we are really lucky to have Nine Inch Nails.

[ManBurning]

I was contemplating looking at tonight's setlist back and forth all evening. I'm the kind of person who would snoop around looking for my Christmas presents well before Christmas. Anyway, with that said... I lost and went to setlist.fm, instead of scrolling top of setlist to bottom, I decided to try something new, knowing fully the best songs are usually played earlier in the set and the "hits" are usually reserved for the end of the night, so I started slowly going up and up and up and then I saw (live debut) in brackets I said to myself "that's enough!" And I stopped dead in my tracks. I did not scroll up another bit to find out what was debuted, and that's enough for me. I'm done. Im not looking at another setlist for the rest of this tour. Im going to attend the 2 LA shows on 12-11 and 12-12. It's going to be hard to stay away from the sets between now and then, but it'll be worth it. I doubt there will be any "live debuts" by that point in the tour. Best we can hope for is an album being played in full for LA. Well, peace out friends. Enjoy the spoilers as the unravel over the next couple months. Gonna be hard avoiding them on social media.

[Krazy]

Yeah... sorry about that TDS post everyone. It started out proper, then I jumped the gun.

Friendly reminder to myself to put the phone away during a concert and not speculate. Lesson learned. They did play a majority of it though.

[Krazy]

Ah yes, Setlist.fm posted The Perfect Drug. Wouldn't be a setlist update without that trolling.

Yeah, TPD was not played.

Very good show but last night was hard to top. Good Soldier and Beginning Of The End were played, for YZ fans.

[m0reta]

LOL @TWIN PEAKS INTRO! Did they play the show's theme or what?

[Deacon Blackfire]

Probably the same intro they used before Branches/Bones in 2017, a portion of the Angelo Badalamenti piece The Fireman.

[witte]

No THTF and Trent on the sax: the best that can happen!

And the girl with 1m followers who bitched hard about no Closer and Copy of A on the first night, bet she wished she'd picked night 2! :p

Holy fuck. "Yes... Everyone seems to be asleep" out of "The Fireman" going into that "Mr. Self Destruct" intro sample is hype af.


This might be the first time they ever played Mr. Self Destruct using the actual album sample outside of the TDS live shows.

Also, this is the first time I've ever heard Robin do the "noise guitar" outro live.

I still have to take the time to post my thoughts about the summer 2018 shows I've seen but here I am, looking at the flights to Chicago. Also, it would be my first time in the US.

No.

[Papagolash]

Man that intro for last night was fucking baller, love it! Also I gotta gripe about Happiness In Slavery, it needs 2 guitars. Ally is essentially playing Danny's part but on bass, I think it should be guitar. When Robin is wailing his guitar before the instrumental breakdown, or when doing the outro IMO it's missing that 2nd guitar. Also it's weird to hear it without that Robin solo after the breakdown (they performed it more album version), hope they bring that back. Oh and Trents keyboard was too low in the mix (from videos I've seen), I really want to hear him rocking that synth part. Other than that total kick ass.

[Kid A]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jCkz4sx3xw

I really hope some Ghosts tracks sneak their way in on this tour. It's a shame to have Trent, Atticus, and Alessandro together on stage and not at least bust out a couple of those.

[streetman]

Really hope someone recorded god break down the door and uploads it sooner rather than later!

[Elrickooo]

No.

I really hope they are headlining the laneways festivals with a few side dates. I’m sure the demand is there to justify coming over this way. If not I’ll have to fork out flying from New Zealand to US for a December date. 17 hour flight isn’t appealing though.

Theres no reason to think that there’s absolutely no way they’d play Australia sometime over this touring cycle, though, however long or short it might be. It may be after like a 6-month hiatus or something, but there’s just as much a chance they announce a second leg for North America as one for Australia. Maybe a small chance, if at all. Who actually, really knows? Can’t see the future. Otherwise we’d all have our arrangements made for the 2050 “Wave Goodbye For Real Tho Tour” already.

In 2009, a lot of us thought we weren’t getting any more shows at all, ever, and look how well that’s worked out. Who’s to say what will happen in 2019?

I didn't see anyone mention it but Trent also plays Sax on God Break Down the Door now which means this is instantly in the Top 10 of best live NIN songs.

[ItsChrisRoss]

I’m still coming down from the two Phoenix shows. It really is like Christmas. You wait and wait and wait and then..ITS HERE! And it’s AMAZING! But I’m a little melancholy today because I’m not going to any other show on the tour and who knows the next time they’ll tour after this. I truly am so grateful that I had the means and opportunity to see them two nights in a row. It was a cathartic experience for me, I got a lot of pent up anger and frustration out singing along.

Im excited for all of you who have shows scheduled in the near future, very interested and excited to see those set lists. And as for those LA shows, they’re going to be something special! I’ll be a little jealous if one of the shows on this tour is mostly The Fragile songs, as that’s my favorite album. Glad to be a part of this community and this experience.


EDIT: also, if anyone wants to see some of my posts from the shows, my Instagram name is the same as on here ItsChrisRoss

[Max]

Who is playing bass on this tour? Ross? Cortini? I was listening to the bass line on Over and Out, and trying to imagine who would be playing it live.

Cortini. Ross does programming.

[fillow]

Ilan also plays bass on a few songs, Over and Out is one of them (judging from the video). He also plays Only and I forgot what else.
But yeah, it's mostly Alessandro on bass now. Atticus = 100% keys and programing.

Summer sonic 2018 in Japan was really amazing, and this was one of my favorite parts: Trent screaming I can't take this anymore during Ahead Of Ourselves at 1:02:50.
I hope someone taped this show and a decent recording is shared soon. Can't wait to experience it again.

[FULLMETAL]

^Show starts at 25:12. I'm not a fan of vertical camera angles, but it sounds pretty tight. Fuck yeah!

[Swykk]

I think it would be really cool if they performed the Halloween theme cover on this tour, specifically for the Chicago shows since they’re right near Halloween.

Holy shit! How many times are they going to play Las Vegas? Nov 30 and Dec 1 just added.

[nmitchell86]

I wonder if someone in nin camp likes to gamble.

[sick among the pure]

They added more Vegas... but still no Canada or “hometown” show? This is a weird tour...

[implanted_microchip]

The Joint really is a special venue and it was the most unique way to see the band I’ve ever had, with almost everyone staying in the same building. I’m not surprised they have a great time there, even if it blows that Canada and the Northwest are totally ignored this tour (and selfishly I hate that it’s been 4 years since the last FL shows, I’d love to see them without having to travel again).

[TheRealNs1]

oh noes, now I have to see NIN another 2 times on this touring cycle. RIP bank account. F

[JessicaSarahS]

:D So excited for the Vegas shows since I couldn't pull off the LA dates.

[FULLMETAL]

Fuck's sake. AEG & Live Nation have other venues besides The Joint. I haven't seen NIN bypass Florida on a tour in a long fucking time. Thank goodness there's enough time to book a cheap flight.

[sick among the pure]

Yeah there is no way I can afford to fly across the country for 2 more shows, otherwise I would because that first night in Vegas in June was worth the trip a few times over.

[m0reta]

I really liked the juice bar at the Hard Rock hotel. Maybe I'll go back.

Definetly interested if The Joint remembers how to corral us properly this time. :-)

[bryan_NIN65]

Man the flights for me just don't work and are too much for Vegas this time, bummer. I was at the first Vegas show in June and my flight was only 200 round trip, the cheapest I could get now is like 270 or more. Kinda aggregated Vegas gets 2 more shows with so many people getting skiped, that said seeing my favorite band at the hard rock was deffently a bucket list event for me. See ya all in Memphis Monday though!!!!!

Fuck's sake. AEG & Live Nation have other venues besides The Joint. I haven't seen NIN bypass Florida on a tour in a long fucking time. Thank goodness there's enough time to book a cheap flight.
Yeah, I'm extremely disappointed about the lack of Florida dates. Maybe there's hope for another short tour next year to hit some neglected areas. Might not be cost-effective, though, unless it's a lot of multi-date residencies.

I will allow the Vegas dates provides there are either several nights in or near Orlando or multiple Florida cities close together. Miami - Tampa - Jacksonville for instance. :-D

(I have no powah hereeeerrr.)

It’s odd too since they’ve previously been really good about making stops in the Orlando/Tampa/Miami markets, it’s hard to think that no venues would have booked them so it’s got to be due to scheduling. It’d be amazing if they could do a shorter one month run in February/March of some markets they skipped but I wouldn’t bet on it. It’s like we’re one step away from an official Hard Rock residency.

I can’t believe I’m asking this but where would
one acquire the presale code for the newly announced Vegas shows?

I read in the past that florida is a secondary market for NIN. don't be surprised if NIN announces a spring tour and Florida is included.

I hope you're right about a secondary market tour next year, but I can't help but get the feeling that they will be going on "hiatus" after those 6 LA shows... I hope I'm wrong, I don't want to wait another 3-5 years for live NIN shows...

NAH! they still have a secondary market in the US, Europe and latin america. <<wait and see...wait and see.

I could be very wrong but I feel like I remember reading somewhere in the past year an interview where Trent mentions that the plan was to tour in some capacity big or small every year for a year a while. So yeah, really hoping that he does a smaller Spring tour next year and hits up us small places. This is the longest gap between NIN shows for me since I started going to NIN shows over a decade ago. I'm jonesin' hard.

I think it would be really cool if they performed the Halloween theme cover on this tour, specifically for the Chicago shows since they’re right near Halloween.

Something with the Halloween theme would be good but how about Bela Lugosi's Dead with Peter Murphy?

[Swykk]

So he could hog the mic and screw up a bunch like he did during Wave Goodbye?

No thanks.

[tremolo]

I’m bummed that although this is a North American tour there are NO Canada dates. I love the last 3 EPs and I’d love to experience some of those songs live, but it seems like that won’t be happening anytime soon.

No thanks.

How did anyone get screwed during the Wave Goodbye tour?

He meant that Peter Murphy messed up the lyrics.

Oh, but isn’t messing up Reptile a staple of his? I don’t think I’ve seen one performance where he doesn’t confuse the verses of the song.

I specifically remember Peter Murphy coming out seemingly drunk as shit in Chicago and completely sing the wrong lyrics to Eraser at the wrong times in the song. It was cringe-worthy. Everyone around me was so annoyed at it. It definitely dampened the ending of that show.

Oh that sucks. One thing is getting confused with the lyrics. Showing up drunk for a guest performance is plain disrespectful to TR and the audience.

That was so infuriating. It was bad enough on the 2006 summer tour but then when Trent brought him back out BOTH NIGHTS in Chicago for the Wave Goodbye shows...I was PISSED. He completely ruined Reptile as well. His voice is annoying enough as it is but forgetting lyrics and fucking up timing made it even worse. I certainly hope there's none of that tonight or tomorrow.

Emails from nin.com (info@nin.com) just went out with the code.

[botley]

Ilan is completely nailing it (lol) these shows. Bass, backing vox, piano, cello, and that fucking drum fill for "knuckle dragging animal" all 100p

[bobbie solo]

I'm sure a band like Jesus & Mary Chain doesn't think like this at all, but wouldn't it make sense for them to play Snakedriver every night they open for NIN on this tour? Cuz at least for me, that song was my only exposure to them for a very, very long time. I'd imagine that would go for a large segment of the crowd as well. Such a great song.
