I went through all my photos and uploaded all the ones I thought were good enough to share:

Down in it blew my fuckin mind! im still buzzin from that performance. i really hope to god that they play in the cities again real real soon. one show is just not enough. maybe next time we can get sin?

When the first show was postponed, I had a hard time deciding whether or not I'd make this show. I finally realized that I probably wouldn't get such kick ass tickets again, so I took the plunge. The only thing that really concerned me was the weather. I'd be driving up from Chicago and who knows what could happen between here and Minneapolis at the end of November? I was hoping beyond hope that there wouldn't be a blizzard. Thankfully the weather cooperated!

The first time in Minneapolis, I had no idea what the city was about. I didn't know about the skyway. This time, I printed a map, and boy was that fun! Leaving the hotel room, and going everywhere without a coat was pretty convenient. Driving around at night to look at the river district and skyline was amazing. Got some really nice photos out of that.

When the concert started, I was looking forward to Boris because I heard people liked them. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. It didn't sound like music to me, just a bunch of noise.

When NIN took the stage, I checked the time. It was just before nine. It seems like the show went so fast. I don't know if it's the excitement, or the pace? There were some parts where it seemed to slow down, but just a little.

I liked that Trent apologized. I noticed he wasn't very talkative. A "Thank you" here and there, and that was about it. When he apologized, it was pretty lengthy, and I was surprised. I felt like screaming back, "IT'S OKAY! APOLOGY ACCEPTED!"

I hadn't been reading the reviews of the other shows because I wanted to experience it for myself. The lights were incredible. The set list, fuckin' A! The only thing missing was "Me I'm Not," but that would have killed me, so, yeah.

When "In This Twilight" was ending, and one by one they were leaving the stage, I checked the time again. Trent was playing the last notes at 10:59.

Overall, I had a great time in Minneapolis. The show was the highlight, and it was well worth the wait.

Did Boris play like 2 really long songs? kidding... but some of the songs seemed to never end. The drummer is the star. My tickets on the side way way up actually didn't turn out too bad. Some parts were blocked. The folks around me were cool. A guy beside me told me it was his first concert in 14 years and proceeded to smoke some herbal cigs. The staff there were really great. Minnesota nice!

Got the best view of Josh out of the 3 shows I have seen. AMAZING!

Man you folks took some amazing pictures! Are you after Rob's job? Also glad y'all survived the pit, it looked pretty intense there a couple of times from 24 rows up.

Pizza Lucia was AWESOME!

soberbill, did you make it back okay? Was really cool hanging with ya!

I'm really enjoying the videos aggregated by the new video feature, the NIN.com team did a hugely great job with that!

Did anyone else get video of Only? I love the one that's up but I'd love to see other angles.

Also, I can do video stabilization so if anyone wants to send me raw footage I can try to process it in After Effects. It can't work miracles (my video fragment during March of the Pigs can't be helped) but here's how my video of Echoplex looked before and after a few hours of work.

This was my first Nin concert...I was on floor in front of stage...and it was fucking
KICKASS!!!!
The lights...the band...and watching Trent sing my favorite song Reptile...sweat dripping off his body..touching himself and jumping around was orgasmic...(Better than any gourmet food...hot sex...drug or alcohol)
I'm addicted and longing to go to every concert...
Thank you Trent & band...

awesome pics and vids everyone! keep em coming!

Keep watching this thread and the one on ETS. I'm sure someone's gonna upload one eventually.

I just wanted to thank everyone for posting their vids and pics of the show. I also take a chance to not complain about posting pics on this thread cause I'm one of the few folks with dial-up. Keep them coming!

Hopefully I'm not speaking too soon, but I'm also glad no one had any bad experiences at the show. There was only one person I noticed who looked like they were trying to get out of the mayhem and found themselves in the pit. I asked if they were okay a couple of times, but they looked a little shell-shocked. I hope they found themselves some cool water and calm.

I just found this thread! Been looking for one like it.

I was in the second row behind NINfreak7 for the whole show and it was one of my first few live show experiences.

I wish I would have gotten awesome pictures like you guys did, but I couldn't get my arms up long enough so I only had a few. I'll look through them again and see what I can find.

Thank you Trent and everyone who made that night the most amazing experience of my life!

My third time seeing NIN. And it was definitly the BEST!! I finally got a hold of a floor ticket and it was so worth it. The highlight of the set 4 me was MARCH OF THE PIGS came on. the place exploded and i was dead center loving every fucking second of it. Total bliss.

I think I met you, but I'm not too sure. I was damn close to dead center on the barricade myself.

it hasn't even been a week and i still can't stop thinking about this concert. i didn't have a camera, so *this will probably make me sound like a dick somehow* but thanks for everybody posting pics and videos. really helps me to relive the best day of my life.

Hey, it's all good. You shouldn't need a camera to enjoy a show!

I have a horrible memory so even on the best days sometimes I need a photo or video to kickstart my recollection and bring me back into the moment. The stuff everyone captured at the NIN show really did that for me. NIN.com's aggregation system is freaking amazing - some other people got some amazing pictures and video at the show too! disafect666, Theodora, and tmjproductions got some of my favorite pics and Theodora, scottorr, ladyclare, and imjasonh got some great videos too. That's not to say they're the only good ones, just my faves.

Really though, to relive the show without having to rely on someone being sneaky and getting a bootleg is freaking awesome. I hope everyone else that gets video/photos does the tagging thing too.

this show was the HIGHLIGHT OF MY YEAR!! im making myself a fantastic scrapbook w pics from the show. i'd really like to do a section on the 2005 show at xcel does anyone have any pics they'd share w me?
