show is over and it was awesome as usual!!

We were in seats in section 108 on JMJ's side. I brought both a camera and camcorder to this show to try to record as much as possible. Hurray for proper planning because I got the whole show, all 2+ hrs of it, recorded on the camcorder. I will uplink to videos when I get home to Philly.

This was my 4th show of this tour and it STILL is totally amazing! Can't wait for Vegas in a few hours but it was great to get one more arena show before the end if this leg. I'm just in awe still of the genius planning to make a spectacular show like this happen. Well done, bravo!!

I was surprise to hear how tired Trent sounded at the end. His voice cracked during his speach, which seemed to be much shorter than usual. He also kept ITT to the lower notes on the final verse. Guess he's really just human after all...

Wow, that was a fantastic show. Thank you Trent for giving Sac another chance to redeem itself. I hope you'll come around these parts again. I was blown away, to say the least!

The show was great! Even better than the Oakland one earlier this year! I'm so glad I got to go (I had finals at UC Davis this week and wasn't sure I was going to get to go).

I was sorry to hear how bummed out Trent sounded about the upcoming changes to the band. If it's any consolation, NIN puts on the best concerts I've ever seen.

Man, my ears are ringing like crazy right now. Thankfully it's from a good thing.

Presale line confusion was ridiculous. It was absolutely too cold. But the show more than made up for it, fucking awesome!

Yeah, I read his comments about the last Arco show (in 2005, which I thought was great)...

bummer. Just spent the day discussing touring up through next summer, then play our asses off to the least responsive audience I can ever remember playing to. I know I'm bitching but it's a shitty feeling. As I'm walking to the bus to leave Sacramento as soon as I can, I learn Jerome is back in the hospital. I have no idea what this means...

...and was hoping the Arco crowd wouldn't suck this time around. Hopefully it was better. It sounded like he thought so.

The crowd was insaaaaaaaane. At one point I couldn't breathe, I was packed so tightly between a girl to one side of me, the arm of the guy I went with, and the hips of some other guy. Thankfully the crush only lasted for a little while, but it was intense (and very awesome). I didn't get many pictures--batteries in my camera fell out--so I'll be looking at everyone else's pictures. Luckily after that, my guy got behind me and put his arms around me so I had a little room to actually breathe and if I'd had room to turn around I could have kissed him for that. I feel like I've been run over, it was great.

Can't say I liked the hours in the cold... but it was definitely a great show.

I also feel bad, we got escorted in a cool covered cart thing like we were VIPs, it was awesome but I felt bad for all the people waiting in the cold!!

Someone posted it here the other day:

NP, someone posted it the other day, I thought it was a great interview too!! ^_^

Absolutely brilliant show! I had previously been to the LA show, but this one sounded way better. I have seen some many other big production shows this year (from Metallica to Coldplay) but NIN just takes it to another level.

Below is a set list from memory (could be a little inaccurate):

999,999
1,000,000
Letting You
Discipline
March of the Pigs
Head Down
The Frail
The Wretched
Closer
Gave Up

The Warning
Vessel

21 Ghosts III
28 Ghosts III
19 Ghosts III
Piggy
The Greater Good

Pinion/Wish
Terrible Lie
Survivalism
The Big Come Down
31 Ghosts IV
Only
The Hand That Feeds
Head Like a Hole

Encore:
Echoplex
The Good Soldier
Speech/Introductions
God Given
Hurt
In This Twilight/Zero-Sum piano outro

The upper sections of the arena were closed, but the lower sections were packed with people! I was very surprised to see such a large turnout for the Sacramento show.

Trent thanked the crowd and said that this was a bitter sweet moment for the band because some massive line up changes are coming. He also confirmed that this will the second last show with this stage production. Well deserved break coming for Trent after the down under shows!

I don't know why, but something tells me that the next time NIN tours, Trent will somehow top this... despite what he said in his previous posts!

Tons of guys in the crowd with SLR's so please post your pics. I will post mine soon (point and shoot pics).

Gluck to the bootleggers in Vegas, please share your results with the rest of us!

I have linked my pics to the Images section here, but here is the URL on Flikr:

I thought it was a fantastic show. I saw NIN twice during the With Teeth tour, and this completely blows those two away (suffice to say they had their moments). I was in or around the pit the whole show, and everyone around me was having a great time and totally rocking out. There wasn't any single thing in the show that struck me as being 'that moment,' rather, I think the entire performance was just a strong one.

I don't really care for people talking about Trent repeating performances or not giving speeches like he has before. I'm surprised the band can put on as amazing a show as they have given the circumstances, honestly.

I just hope Trent enjoyed the show as much as I did, considering the last show in Sacramento was apparently a sub par one.

Also: Vessel. Fantastic good good.

Great show, once again. Wish I was on my way to Vegas right now!

I was there in 2005 to witness the "the least responsive audience I can ever remember playing to" and was happy Sac came out to give the band a good showing.

Stunning visuals, awesome sound. Trent has said in the past that future tours would be stripped down, but then he gives us this beautiful experience. Like someone said above, I would not be surprised if he tries to one-up himself next time around.

As "Queen" would put it, BIG UPS to:

- The older hippie dude on the floor tokin' it up graciously passing his joint to the right hand side (although I declined, still thought it was nice of him to share)

- The lovely lady who gave us a flyer for the "Big Booty Bash" at Showgirls.

(Apologies in advance for a massively long post)

I have to say, the show was amazing. What made it even more amazing was that I thought I wasn't going to be there.

Basically, I saw the Oakland show, and I did mention this one to my parents and briefly played with the idea of finding a way to get there myself. But I'd come to the conclusion that I wouldn't be going.

So, I was incredibly surprised when my mom woke me up at five (Friday afternoons are my sleep day. I get out of school early), and said she wanted to talk to be about something. At first I was worried I was in trouble or something, because that's what my parents always do when they're mad at me, but then she said, "I want to see what the big deal is about this Trent guy. Why don't you get ready to go, and we'll drive to Sacramento after dinner and see if we can get some scalper tickets."

For a minute I didn't actually believe her, but then I realized she was serious.

But the story's not over yet! We hit traffic on the way over, and got to the arena late. I started to talk myself down, just to make it easier if it didn't work out. So, by the time we got there, I'd convinced myself it wouldn't work out. But thank god there were still tickets available, and we got in literally seconds before they started playing.

The show was incredible. I did see the one in Oakland, but I was in general admission that time, so I couldn't fully appreciate the light show. I think my mom had fun too. I am insanely fortunate to have a mom who will do this sort of thing for me. I am so glad I was able to see this show. It's probably the best early Christmas present I could have gotten, and one of the best things anybodies ever done for me.

On a more humorous note: everything was great except for the spectacularly wasted girl next to my mom, who was generally obnoxious during the entire show. We kept waiting for her to smoke enough that she'd fall asleep, but it didn't happen. There were a few time I kinda wanted to punch her. Still fun though.

it was my third show. caught two shows from the with teeth tour. sac and sf. back to sac for lights in the sky. it was my girls first nin concert. she was blown away. for me, impressed as always. nine inch nails is raw as fuckkkkk. i will always love this band. so much that ill be late on some bills this month. but it was fucking worth it. i wonder what the future holds for trent and nine inch nails. as for us fans we've been quite spoiled with all the activity the past few years. i hope he keeps it up. i love his music. i respect the direction he takes and the hard work he puts into everything he does.

p's to the fellow nin collective.
