Apologies in advance- I'm on a cell phone and don't know how to separate paragraphs... Standing in line at the ferry back to philly. What an absolutely brutal, beautiful, holy shit set. I thought Mansfield brought it. Tonight schooled every show I have ever seen. Though not perfectly played, as Trent himself said, it was so perfectly honest tonight and even more enjoyable because of it. The band was on fire. Notable mistakes included missing lyrics in BOTE, and Trent missing a keyboard cue at the beginning of Burn, so there was no sequenced key sound for the whole song. But these mistakes show how amazing this lineup of the band is. They totally rolled with everything and played with such focus, intensity, and energy. So so good. Nothing prepared me for how great it is to scream 'your god is dead' with thousands of other people. Emotional highlight of the night was def TDTWWA. Oh and if the girl with the Op Ivy shirt is reading this, you were totally awesome to talk to! Sorry I missed you at the end.

Oh...and...SSSC kicked ass! They were tight! And Tom Morello is amazing. He made Robin pale in comparison.

This show was awesome, and the setlist was awesome... As far as them not playing an encore, NIN didn't leave the stage until around 9:55, which was later than I thought they were going to, considering JA was supposed to come on at 10.

God I wish I could go to another show this tour.

That was a really good concert. My girlfriend and I had a fun time. Showmanship was top notch from all 3 bands.

SSSC definitely stood out because the crowd wasnt expecting such a stage presence. Great songs and the MIA Paper Planes cover was awesome. They were giving it their all and were on fire. Tom Morello has gotten better since RATM. At one point he commanded (successfully) the entire crowd to "stand the fuck up"..."There is always that one person who has to be the wise guy and say, 'Fuck you I wont do what you tell me'". Haha!

NIN was rocking for most of the set, quite enjoyable. Trent said he was giving us some special songs (?) since he fucked up a few times, but they would just play more instead of talk. Im glad I was able to catch this wave goodbye show since NIN will assumably be gone for a long while. They had an interesting setlist (one of the most?) and I had a great view in the pit.

Only problem was there were so many drunk douchebags, bug-eyed creepy fans, and bearded cavemen that had to ruin it for a lot of people. The did so by pushing and punching and humping people's backs (including mine) with their sweaty bodies, fists, and elbows. A big fuck you to all those cretins, but its probably not you here reading this. They were of the much lower common denominator and would have a hard time navigating to this page.

Jane's Addiction put on a good show, but it seemed the band was going through the motions and/or a little tired at a few points. But they definitely rocked it and had fun for virtually the entire time. Dave Navarro really wanted this one girl in the pit and kept on mouthing to her to "come on back". I would assume that happened. Perry really got the crowd going and was having a blast feeding off of the last bit of energy the crowd had to give. Great show.

NINJA(SS) 2009!

Oh and the presale tickets are classy as hell.

Just got back home! Had a blast! Just finished uploading 300+ pic's. SSSC and JA were also amazing! Will post more pic's up soon.

I have to say, I was worried a little about the pit here as all people have been telling me for the past couple months is how scary Camden is.

This pit was THE BEST pit I have been in (except for my first 2 shows, nothing will trump them). There seemed to be some energy lacking during SSSC but that quickly went away for Nails. There was even an aggressive yet peaceful circle if that makes any sense. Everyone was there for a good time and jumped and pushed but not to the point of crushing. I saw lots of smiling, sweaty people. Janes had a very energetic crowd too. I was impressed by how intense some of their fans are. Very cool. I left the pit without any "I hated that guy that...." stories.

Thank you.

Holmdel tomorrow

Fantastic setlist, great vibe, excellent performance. One of my favorites on this tour so far. Thanks again to the band and everyone involved in the EDLC donor program. What an amazing experience. A night I won't forget. Pix at flickr.

Great show. It was nice to hear The Line Begins To Blur again live, I guess the first and only time I had heard it before was at my first NIN show in 2005. This time around it was even better.

You can't compare like that, they're not in the same band playing the same music, plus Robin is playing Trent's songs not his own.

Tom Morello is amazing, though.

This was my first NIN show and it was amazing. I brought a friend who doesn't really like nine, and even he was amazed by the performance. And why did janes make it seem like they left stage like twice during the set? That was pretty anoining. But it was an awesome night!

I will definitely catch them next time in Philly. Hope there is a next time...

Agreed! I could only attend one date for this tour....I want to see all the set list changes!

My 10th and final show did not disappoint. Trent's hug will remain with me forever.

Thank you again, Trent.

Blog to come soon.

Saw the show last night with my beutiful girlfriend who is from Poland--yes, I turned her on to the NIN experience! Anyway, she is stoked for Trent & Cos. appearance in Posnan, Poland later this month...but with that...disappointed in the show. I have been a NIN devotee since 1989 when I saw them open for the Jesus and Mary Chain at the Trocadero in Philly. It seemed to me that for the "farewell" tour Trent was doing the stadium thing....you know...ratchet up the sound, play the stadium friendly anthems and give in to the Downward Spiral heads. Were was the nuance? The With Teeth tour--he played "Something I Can Never Have", "Hurt"....There is nothing more powerful to me than Trent on piano playing a "ballad" to a hushed crowed of 15,000....That's just me. And only one song from WITH TEETH? That is his last masterpiece! The last 3 CDs have a rushed feel to them--just not the high quality of his first 4 full-lenths(each of which took 5 years to make.) Okay, I am done my rant... I still love you Trent and look forward to hearing what your creative mind comes up with next. Thanks for everything. from your friends at the RMS MUSIC SOCIETY

The show was unbelievable. Mr. Self Destruct absolutely blew me away. Metal, Physical, and the Big Come Down were very nice surprises that I wanted to hear but didn't think I was going to get to. That set took every ounce of energy out of me; I sat down thru most of Jane's, and I'm definitely sore today.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for just blowing me the fuck away.

Ans SSSC was fantastic...definitely wanting to hear more from them.

Fantastic set list and a great way for NIN to go out for me.

Edit: mscarr: I agree- the crowd around me (near the back of sect. 100) was really lame at the beginning of the show. My friends and I were the only ones jumping and singing and going nuts for a while, then other people picked up. I assumed the disinterested were Jane's fans...but then they didn't even stay for Jane's. I did, that however, love the couple in their 60's (easily that old) rocking out to NIN. They left too after the set, so they were definitely there for NIN.
