@notsoprettynow : totally catching your drift here, yet it was a fucking NIN show and that's all that matters in the end. I had the time of my life traveling to the UK in 2014 and seeing the "real" show for the first time since 2007. I guess for most European fans these shows are a bummer because we are used to all the high end stuff we saw in Rob's videos, the stuff Moment Factory put up and all... and then there are DVDs like AATCHB, Closure and BYIT which set the bar very very high.

Although I hated the fact this took place in broad daylight like 4 years prior, some people got on my nerves and that the set was very short I still admire the energy that Trent puts into these shows. It's always a sheer joy to watch that man go apeshit from one second to another. And for some reason I like the fact this band seems a tad untouchable up there. Usually that's what I hate about sophisticated rock bands, but with NIN it's something else.

I went to a bar afterwards as well and we talked for hours about the concert as we went to see Massive Attack on Friday, too and were utterly diasspointed and had little hope for the NIN show to turn out any better. The band did great, but Zitadelle is just no place for Massive Attack and their dark atmospheric show, especially not after I saw them two years ago blewing my mind with one of the best live shows I have ever seen, so I can see why NIN fit the bill better with a more arena rock approach.

Either way, it's NIN, it's Berlin, the set was nice and I had a good time! Some people never get to see their favorite band live in the first place and I feel very lucky to have seen NIN a couple of times now.
