i saw them last week, just NIN though. i must say their latest 'raw' approach is freakin' great. they started with some new songs, then played stuff mostly from the fragile and earlier. trent announced that it wouldn't be a 'greatest hits' show and would consist more of stuff that was fun to play live.

I imagine Cleveland will be announced in the next batch, I can't imagine he'd skip it on his last-ever-maybe tour.

What did you think of it compared to the 2007 Australian tour, if you saw that?

thats a rather strange tour.

aren't Jane's Addiction and Nine Inch Nails on practically opposite sides of the genre spectrum.

i suppose it will draw much larger crowds though.

People wishing to relive the 90s and Lolapalooza are a shoe in for this tour.

whats the qtf for? Janes Addiction started Lollapalooza in 91 and NIN was one of the headliners then. In a weird way it makes sense, though personally I never liked JA.

i remembered that tour after you mentioned it. and yeh it does kind of make sense....but still for those two to be on a tour together alone seems strange... i gues cause i stopped listening to nin after downward spiral... and upto that point there was no relation between the two bands.

i spose a tour like this would bring larger crowds tho.

I used to love NIN, and saw them live twice, but find it very hard to get into the live performance anymore.

I saw some recent tour videos, and I feel rather embarrassed for trent. I can't honestly believe he feels what he's singing about anymore. Even if he never did, he certainly did a better job pretending 5-10 years ago. The Fragile tour and the DVD of it, were my favorite material for a long time, I could feel the power in it.

These days, the magic is gone.

No matter how cool the big metal screen is in front of Trent, I would imagine that would subtract from the intimacy of the show

It looks cool on youtube though, which is prob what he's going for

they're not doing that for the last shows, have a look at the video i posted, i'm pretty sure that's what these recently announced shows are gonna be like, considering that video was taken a week ago.

They have added another opener, Street Sweeper which is a new band of Tom Morello from RATM and Boots Riley from The Coup.

fcuk yeah, news to me !!!! the nightwatchmen thing is ok, but it doesnt grab my testicles or nothing.

FuckFredWagonMcGriff : never been to englewood, co, and for that matter never ever seen a show at Red Rocks, im such a big looser, but yeah hitting that one up, dont know if the wifey is coming/vacation and shit, or if im going solo

if that video is his 'raw approach' why do the drums sound precorded?

maybe my ears are tricking me.

i've always been kind of disappointed by NIN live because of how many live elements are just layered over perecorded fully layered songs. like if the band just stopped playing during the show you would still hear almost the full NIN song minus the vocals, kind of like going to see a Christina Aguilar or Depeche Mode show.

yeah it makes perfect sense, but i think to understand it you had to be somewhat tapped into the early 90s alternative rock scene in the US.

I'm definetely going to see NIN in Amsterdam. Just gotta spam that refresh button tomorrow when the presale is on! :P

fuck trent and his goddamn early bird special. we drove 3 hours to Austin to see this lot, got there at 8:30 pm and nin had already finished. what kind of old fartrocker shit is this? a girl there told us he played less than an hour, and it was mostly the new shitty songs, fuck that fat old dirt rocker. anyway Jane's was excellent, good to see the original lineup again. don't think i'll ever pay to see nin again after this debacle.
