i loved the applause robin got he is such a great guitarist
My wife is on the train. She's the one with the v.1 setlist with La Mer. She says she got a bunch of other stuff too. Including Trent's sweaty towel.
Sure! Scans, photos, the works
As requested
The black background is one of Trent's towels. It was apparently soaked with sweat when she got it but is suspiciously dry now. The plectrums belonged to Trent (white) and Josh (grey). She doesn't know who the lyrics sheet belonged to. She got the last setlist - a staff member went off and found it at the back of the stage area. I don't know what the little circles mean next to some of the songs. Ideas anyone?
^ Was La Mer played or not?
edit: nevermind, answer is on last page.

Lyric sheets are often Robin's, from what I've seen over the years.
I thought TR's plectrums were red, though.
She was in a scrum over drumsticks too but had to let them go . All the other stuff she either picked up herself or got from roadies and security - except for the bass plectrum, which Josh personally gave her at the end. Given that we never even had tickets (had no luck either in initial sale or twitter ballot - my sister-in-law gave up her spot as +1 so my wife could go in her place) she has had a real dream concert. I am also contractually obliged to be happy for her
How cool! What a great night she must have had!
Sick setlist!
I think the double-o doodle on the pages means 'backing tape?' Or prerecording cue?

hi all, can't seem to make this appear on the forum, but here's a link...it's a low res crop but came out pretty good

Our gig mementoes and best photo I could take from centre stage second from barrier (would've been front if not for certain people who don't know how to queue?!). Was great to meet others in the queue including rhet and little_flame and hugepants and I think ninjaw (judging by the angle of the queue photo). Truly the best show I have seen them do in all my 14 years of NIN gigs.
Are you the angry little hairy man who was yelling at some girl on barrier for being a cunt?
Also, yo, sheepdean, can you get the guy you let in on your ticket to give me his best friend's twitter handle? Amy i think the name was. I took her in on my spare like you did. Keen to see how she got on.

Only just been able to get to a computer but damn that was one hell of a show. One I'll remember for a long time. A bit of overcrowding issues but that was because most of the VIPs went to the floor instead of the VIP area. Not a bad way to pop your NIN cherry
First 30 minutes, anyone?
Enjoy
Shhhh - crap quality audio but better than not having it...
Aaaah I think I was by you in the queue for a little while. I'm the guy with the blonde/black dreadlocks.
I had a great night, probably the best gig I've ever been to. My 5th time seeing them live and, as others have noted, it was a very 2007 setlist. Somewhat Damaged is one of the best openers I've ever seen so I was excited when someone next to me on the barrier spotted it on the setlist as we were waiting for them to come out.
My only regret is that I didn't wait around after the gig for a chance to meet some of the band, which would have been fantastic, but I'm grateful to have had the chance to go to this gig as I know what a motherfucking HUGE deal it was to be there (I didn't manage to get a ticket but a friend hooked me up with someone elses spare) so I didn't want to be greedy. Plus, I was exhausted by the end!
Non-setlist highlight of the night, for me, was Robin coming to the barrier during 'Suck' (if I recall correctly) and sticking his guitar neck into my arms. Awesome!
Love those guys. Bring on the 2014 tour.
(also, I was a little attached to the previous live incarnation but Josh completely won me over)

i so fucking wish i bought a scala t-shirt!
me too! they were sold out by the time i got to the merch table but i would have missed out on being against the rail if i had gone to the table first... i was/am a little surprised i even got in the door at all but still a bit bummed though not to have a unique souvenir.
Eh, I have the wristband. Good enough.
