OMG. I liked yesterday but tonight’s set list was intense and amazing.

Completely amazing show tonight! Experiencing AR going wild on the synth for TGD was absurdly intense!

I had fun the first night in Boston, but this night was ten times better. So great.

I enjoyed both shows, but night two was the clear winner! They played like 4-5 songs from The FragIle! Fuck yeah! And I never thought I'd ever hear "The Perfect Drug" live.

I agree. Tonight fucking rocked. 18 songs I hadn't heard between the 2 nights and only 2 repeats between both nights! Just awesome.

Another sick show and another 8 songs I had never heard live before. I don't think I preferred one show over the other. They were both awesome and so different. I think these shows rank 4th and 5th all time for me. Number 1 being Webster Hall 09 and the 2 Soma shows from the With Teeth club tour 2nd and 3rd. I fucking love this band!

Pulled my prints from the two shows out of their tubes just now to put them in the portfolio book I keep all my prints in. For last night's limited print, I got #19/25. Last night was my 19th NIN show. That sure worked out perfectly!

EDIT: If anyone is wondering about the difference between the regular and variant versions, I tweeted @ the artist to ask him about it, since the difference is hard to see.

Freaking amazing night. So glad I got to go to both shows and it's so damn cool that there were only two repeats between the two nights. (Everyone's asking me, "Why would you see the same band twice in a row?" and are amazed when I tell them the nights were completely different!) I'm glad we got all the Fragile we'd been missing from the first night, and the Perfect Drug!!!! Holy hell that was spectacular. The Great Destroyer's breakdown was the best I'd ever seen it, too, and that transitioning directly into Burning Bright gave me huge shivers and made me even more excited about that song. Oh, and I love Shit Mirror so much. Robin's vocals suit that song so well.

After giving myself a few days to absorb the sheer intensity of partaking in the concerts (both nights), I can say the experience was both extremely visceral and cathartic. Standing in line for hours to buy tickets months in advance augmented the overall effect. It's been many years since I have felt this affected by music. Thank you Trent, Atticus, and the band for playing at intimate venues; and for captivating us with a unique set list each night!

There's a solid recording of this show on NIN live archive. I'm hoping a better one for the first show pops up.

Also, another review. This one covers both nights:
