The show tonight was unreal. Hi to the people we met and the cool woman next to me in our awesome front row seats. Mr Self Destruct blew my fucking mind!

awesome show! not my favorite set list of the tour but we got heresy, wish and 1.000,000 so i am happy. trent was in fine form.

the venue was so lax with security....first time in ages that i have not had and issue there.

the bf got loads of great pics that i'll upload tomorrow.

jane's were great, as always....took me back to 1991.

still wish NIN headlined but i can't complain!

thanks to trent and co. for a great night and 20 years of NIN!

That's the set unless I forgot something!!

It was the perfect set for me: I like it hard and crazy, I love TDS, The Fragile and The Slip best, I like minimal instrumentals (just my preference!) so it was so much fun. Me personally, I would have given back IDNWT and Wish (heard it lots) for Dead Souls and Somewhat Damaged and it would have been PERFECTION. I would, of course, have been carried out on a stretcher in shock, mind you.

I have to work early so I could only catch half of Jane's but they were killing it.

SSSC was awesome! Won me over from Paper Planes onward. Haha.

I am also intensely grateful that the brain dead clapping spider monkeys who clapped off beat during hurt at the last Toronto show did NOT clap. Phew.

I feel like someone from Toronto must have done something good to Trent, as this set was unreal. I've seen NIN 6 times in the last 10 years, and this was by far the best show ever, it wasn't the visual masterpiece LITS was, but it was not needed. This was raw NIN and I loved it. Thanks Trent and band, amazing... I don't know how you do it...

Absolutely awesome show, kicked ass in all the right ways. SSSC was really solid and did an excellent job as an opener. NIN just fucking rocked. You didn't just hear the music, you experienced it right down to your bones. Here's hoping that Trent comes along again some day, I sure hope this isn't the end of NIN touring forever.

Janes was decent, not a huge fan personally and I didn't stay for the whole set. I was there to see NIN and that's what we got.

The best, most intense 90 minutes of live music I have ever experienced in 30 years of concerts. Third show in four nights and by far the best performance Trent and the boys have given. People openly weeping after Hurt, Trent tripping and falling over the stage carpet (and he didn't miss a word), and a mic that didn't work during (? someone insert song here). Was I the only one standing during SSSC's set? WTF Toronto, it's not a library, it's Tom fucking Morello...show some respect!!

I had the privilege of having my son with me for our little NINJA road trip. Trent, you've made such an impact on him and the Toronto show was the perfect ending. Thank you.

Amazing day. I got the meet & greet package - which meant seeing the soundcheck. The m&g was just NIN, and all 4 of them were there. There were so many of us that I expected to be pushed through really quickly but instead they were so nice! Each one shook my hand, asked me my name and thanked me for coming. They did this with everyone that I saw. It seemed liked the guys - Justin & Ilan especially - were really trying to give everyone a special moment. So appreciated! There were so many of us that we did a group picture - about 20 to 30 of us and all 4 guys at a time.
Soundcheck was awesome! I was right in the centre, two people back. They played the Wretched there! Amazing to hear it from so freaking close!

SSSC soundcheck was also great. They seem to have fun with each other, Boots told a really bad/funny joke at the end. Their sound wasn't that great in the actual show, but could have been because I was so far to the side - seat #s 1 & 2 in the 200s. I loved that they said their name so many times after each song, it had us laughing so hard! My friend and I kept saying to each other - who are these guys? And of course, then Boots would say their name again.
I will definitely be buying their CD this month.

NIN set list was great! Definitely for the fans. Could not believe we got Mr Self Destruct! And such a raw version, took me a moment to recognize it. So happy when they came back with Hurt. And the crowd did a good singalong.

Trent fell one time! He was trying to pull up the mike stand but it was stuck to some piece of carpet so he tried to pull that up too and ended up on his back! But then got back up and ran about the stage a bit more. Mad amounts of fog/smoke!

Crowd was good. SSSC made us stand up (good for them!) and we were all up for the entire NIN. (as it should be!)

Neat!

Janes was awesome, I never knew Perry was so freakish on the stage.



Goodbye NIN

Janes you have a new fan!!

SSSC - That was cool! Gonna have to D/L -- Buy an album!!

I always say this and I hate saying it but ... I'd love to work the soundboard ... I've always thought the sound could sound just a little bit better and tinkered with ... IAOA sounded awesome ... Ilan was awesome Mr. Self destruct was pure power ...

Wish it was warmer ... am I the only one who is still freezing??

I was on the lawn - I've always been a GA guy - I'd still prefer GA - The lawn crowd (where i was) was actually more active/louder/hippier when Janes came on - Security were Nazis (This is Canada - let the tokers stay) - I do not want this THANKS - Perry said "This is Canada where the women have long legs and the men fight on ice" or something like that - Standing in one spot for 2+ hrs sucks (gotta be moving)- Please DO NOT carry on loud conversations right beside me when NIN is performing - Voyager just came on tv ... bye!! ( Go SSSCNINJANES \m/ )*Work @ 7:30AM = Shit

P.S. Having Janes follow NIN was perfect ... It's sorta like a hidden track you find at the end of a cd ...


Was Tom playing the intro to Revolver?

What a fucking great show! m/g was awesome. If anyone saw the photoblog it made it double awesome! Ha.
-Thanks for the dudes in line with me and my friend who let me use their iphone after the m/g! Those things are hard to operate ..somewhat technologically challenged here. There were a lot of cool people I met.
SSSC were fucking SWEET. I would totally see them again and will pick up the album for sure. Damn Tom is the shit...played with his fucking teeth. Enough said!
NIN were amazing. What a killer setlist. Everyone in my area was rocking out. Amazing..and thanks to everyone involved in the m/g. The staff are excellent.
JA-..so dave had a vest on. But the cold weather still didn't stop him from wearing a shirt. they were awesome. Perry is such a crazy showman lol watching perkins play is always a treat.

Such a good night. All 3 bands were amazing. I am sunburnt and supposed to be up and in court for work in about 4 1/2hrs now so hopfully I can sleep.
TORONTO WE ROCKED THE FUCKING DONATIONS!NICE WORK.

Best NIN show I've ever seen. Every single songs I saw from previous nights I've wanted to see was played tonight. The highlight for me was "The Fragile". I took tons of pictures and HD videos of Now I'm Nothing/Terrible Lie, I'm Afraid Of Americans, and of course, The Fragile.

I took a ton of pictures too, and I'll post them eventually.

Thanks a million Trent, amazing show, amazing night, I couldn't have asked for anything more.

I'm allowed to post here!

If anyone saw a disheveled guy limping around in a purple dress shirt, that was me. My leg cramped up in the middle of Wish but I managed to fuel myself on adrenaline and get myself back into the crowd for the rest of the night. Feeling the pain now though. I hope I'll be able to walk tomorrow.

Extra-special thanks to Pragmatica for taking me along to "meet" Trent and company, who were all in good spirits despite our frigid Canadian weather.

I couldn't have asked for a better setlist.

That's all for now. Tired and sore.

Sound check setlist:

Home
The Good Soldier
The Fragile
The Wretched

(Am I missing one?)

The Wretched!!!! I wanted to hear that one too, but I was happy to get The Fragile instead. I was told by someone it was five songs, so you must be missing one (they didn't list them for me though)

I'm telling you, I feel like everybody from Toronto who did that survey way back about live shows said the same things I did, because everything I wasn't as thrilled with for LITS tour was GONE this time. Either that, or fortune just seriously smiled upon Toronto.

Kick ass show. I was in seats, sec 303, on the aisle. As a twitter winner I should add. Anyway, full review tommorow.. just gonna quickly mention that I was not at all impressed with no one knowing what our backstage passes were for.
