just got home from the show. AMAZING. what a way to cap it all off. First time in the pit and it was a new experience that i didn't mind. Not much to say other then i had a great time and it was worth every god damned penny, not unlike the May show. i was slightly left of center stage about 60-65 feet back from the stage.. i might have been the tall dude blocking your view, if i did.. sorry! the pit was good in my area - no assholes- but i was surprised when it didnt pick back up again after the slower songs. Hope everyone had a great time. a big thanks to the band for helping end a great summer.

Show was awesome. My only complaint is that I'm short. Finally got to hear SICNH live, and it was beautiful. Can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store for us.

great setlist, anyone know what the song was before Atmosphere?

That was my first NIN concert and I well worth the plane ticket to fly in and see the show. I was pleasantly surprised to hear Something I Can Never Have and Dead Souls....those were two songs I really didn't expect to be performed live.

Since this was the first time seeing NIN in concert, I can definitely say the hype of the NIN concerts that my close friends have told me about for years is well founded. Again, Great Show!

Great show with a really great set list. I can't find it in the gallery though, am I missing it or is it not there? I need the code to tag my Flickr set.

Show was amazing; Crowd was meh. Singing along was great, but people could not stop talking. I'm a bit bummed that I had to leave early (missing the last 3 songs. ) Still a great show, though.

There were a lot of drunk assholes towards the front and to the right. Me and my gf had to step out and go back some. Other than that good show the crowd couldn't stop talking but they did sing along really well.

On my way out I noticed ALOT of people just stumbling al over the place. I left early, but how bad was trying to get out all at once? And if you thought talking was bad where you were, there were 3 teenagers that wouldn't SHUT THE FUCK UP. I was on the left side, next to the bar and the staircase up to the balcony.

I was so very happy that I was able to see this show (Thanks to Rick who drove me there and back even though I was not on his way). It truly was a great end show for me.
I was stocked to hear atmosphere. Yeah, some of the crowd did not seem that into the show but there were plenty around me that were.

I wish I could have done both shows but my upcoming move needs all my extra cash. I'm so glad I was there tonight.

Peter Murphy was absolutely hypnotic. An experiance indeed. Exchanging cash for some of the moments of the performance that genuinely seemed quite personal seems so inadequate. So thank you for sharing.

Chicago crowds seem to have gone to shit in general. This show was great but no one would fucking move at all. Nothing but a bunch of sad-sacks and people who got mad when you accidentally bumped them. After a little moving around, I found a few people who seemed like they were there to actually have a good time. Whodathunkit?

Where the fuck were you because I was towards the right, up front and everybody was fucking rocking out like this was the last show of the tour!

On a side note, more people liked The Horrors compared to Mew...but I thought Mew was pretty tight live. They sound amazing live and I'd probably go see them again, but I may have been biased going into this show.

I had tried all summer to get tickets to this show. I was especially exited that it was only a few days after my actual birthday, so it was going to be the gift and the party itself. but I was not able to get tickets.
Then today I was sitting around bawling cause I wouldn't get to go, and my friend gave me a pack of skittles as a substitute birthday cake, lit a candle, and sang me happy birthday but inserted the lyrics 'you're 26 years on your way to hell' cause im 26. I blew out the candle and wished, 'I wish I could see Trent tonight', then thought, idiot! you wasted your wish on something you can never have!
A minute later I checked Ticketmaster for the millionth time, truly expecting nothing, and I got the tickets! Blew my fucking mind.
I got those tickets with JUST ENOUGH time to drive from Madison to Chicago, we left right away and got to the Aragon at 7:00.
And Then Trent opened with Pinion and Wish! It was my birthday song, 26 years on my way to hell on my 26th birthday, and I blew out my candle and made a WISH. Which came true. It was WISHcraft. Happy Birthday to me!!!

Well it was a good show from the little I saw. I was on the rail and have never been so squished at a NIN show, ever. I got kicked in the head early on, and during Banged And Blown Through started blacking out. The security guys noticed pretty quick (I think my head was lolling), and I had to be pulled out during Burn. "Watched" the rest of the show from the paramedic station. Great view of the equipment ramp. Made waiting in line for 14 hours totally worth it.

Yeah I'm bitter. :-P

Other than that: opening with the first three songs of Broken in order had me hoping... come Trent, you can do it! :-D

They put a video camera on Trent's light stand--the one in front of his keyboard--and I knew that wasn't going to last for long. Hope that guy whose camera it was had insurance.

People seemed really into it where I was. No chattering about other things, just being into the music. I wish I had seen Peter Murphy. Did he just walk on stage this time? Hopefully he'll be there again tonight.

As far as I can tell...
PHM (4)
Broken (4)
TDS (4)
Fragile (4 - all L)
With Teeth (2)
Year Zero (1)
Slip (5)

Gone Still, Burn, Banged and Blown, Atmosphere, Dead Souls, Kick in teeth.

Hoping tonight to hear Sin, Ringfinger, Happiness in Slavery, Suck, Mr. self destruct, Heresey, Reptile, Somewhat Damaged, We're in this together now, great below......

I ended up in the balcony with a great view but sound not as good. Can someone please post Trent's little speeches towards the end of the show? I couldn't make out a single goddamn word!

It goes without saying that I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when they played Eraser. Tonight I'm going on the floor to rock the fuck out. If people are complaining that the crowd was not into it last night, I'm gonna change that tonight.

I feel like a kid at Disneyland this weekend! Thanks NIN!!!!!!
