Great show. Metal was a nice treat.

Sucks about the merch booth though. They should have limited 1 event shirt pet person to make sure they go into fans hands not some douchebag who tries to sell them for profit. L4M3

Yeah I was trying to get an echoplex shirt for myself and some guy at the booth literally got 10 shirts and a crapload of posters right be before they got to me. I was the next person and I got the second to last Echoplex shirt (medium) there was a XXL left but that wasn't going to fit me or my +1 so I left it up for grabs rather than being a douche and selling it on Ebay. I did get the tour shirt (wrong dates and all) which is really nice with "1989 NIN 2009" on the front.

Great show and a good crowd I picked up a guitar pick at the end.

Compared to the Bowery Ballroom show, this one seemed louder, or the crowd seemed quieter. I'm not sure which it was. The Bowery crowd were loud and into the show from the very start, whereas the Echoplex crowd were definitely into it, but seemed to be taking things in more and got more vocal as the show went on. Maybe it was just me though.

It was hot as fuck!

Bad Ass Show Regardless

set list: (not my pic)Amygo's

That reminds me! Trent started playing atmosphere and I guess he fucked up. He said, "Oops" and they went into Dead Souls.

Yeah I think the quote was "That's no way to start an encore"

Pssh.

I've come to expect the textbook sets but figured that tonight might be different for some reason. Not really. Great time tho and around awesome people for the most part. Only gripe was the camera guy dead center on the floor. What a fucking dick. I understand you're trying to do your job but that job trumps the good time of those around you? Fuck off.

To the girl in front of me with her septum pierced and short curly hair, I love you. Thanks for rocking out with me.

Til' Wiltern.

Holy shit ! Words can't describe how fantastic that was.
It's going to take me days to come down from the high I got from what might be the greatest show ever. The crowd was really cool. There were no assholes, except for the dick that bought up all the shirts. Thanks DICKHEAD ! They put a limit on tickets, why not do the same for merch? Anyways, I wanted to thank Trent, Robin, Justin, Ilan and Gary for an amazing night. Thank you, thank you, thank you ! A very special thanks to Trent for all that you have done and given us over the past 20 years. Thanks to Dave from the U.K. for getting me in, sorry about the Wiltern. Hello to the 2 girls(Kara and Wendy) from Vancouver. Have a safe trip home. Now I can't wait til' Thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Favorite moment: at the end of Burn, when TR wrung out his shirt over his guitar, as if he was putting out a fire. Lovely.

After waiting around outside at both the lower and upper entrances without a ticket for most of the show, a club employee got me inside (for free!) during Metal and I got to see everything from then onward. I've never been able to see the band in a venue this small, and it was really special to be there in a crowd of people who really appreciated the music and were all so into it. Trent's voice sounded like it has recovered to 100% and the whole band was in top form. Gary Numan sounded great too. I don't think any of us will ever forget this show!

Also, did anyone else notice Jared Leto?

Ya "epic" is the adjective I've used describing this nite...feel so lucky after scoring tickets. The whole "wishfull thinking" line, the wristbands, the wait on the wall...riot girl and your friend, ATX bro, meeting maryelle and ninfreak finally... my brain and body is so fried, I can't remember all the names. I'm at a loss to describe how cool these people are. Thanks for creating and keeping the good vibe all nite.

After the "epic" entry. Being the 1st 20, non-ticketed in line....the giant soundboard area, the anticipation, the warmth, the crush, the NIN show I expected, worthy setlist (I loved no Closer, sad we missed Atmosphere), great energy, some talking and giggling early, some shhh's n stfu's dispensed, the "epic" quietness to the end of Hurt...the HEAT, the SWEAT, a sardine can in a microwave...

Left destroyed, only to rebuild...ready for Fonda and Wiltern. Thankful I have these tickets. Hope the AC works better in these next shows. Maybe 1 or both of these shows will get more of the "varied" setlist treatment. Thanks for Ruiner, TWOIT, Gone, Still, Non-Entity, Gary (he was bad ass tonight) a sick ass SICNH, and the bad ass BASS in Burn. Fucking A! That was awesome, and a new experience in sonic possibilities... and the band, as always kicking ass...

If the next 2 shows are as good or better..."epic" may be an understatement to describe these shows and experience.

WOW.

wow.

This was exactly how I wanted my tour to end (had to refund Wiltern and Fonda cuz I have to be back in Detroit this week for 2 homicide trials). In March 1990 I first saw NIN at the Latin Quarter in Detroit, a 400-500 capacity venue. And 68 shows and 20 years later, I wanted to end at the Echploex, another 500 capacity venue. Trent was right about this all coming full circle. Loved the set list, LOVED Gary Fucking Numan again, loved everything.

Trent. I despise hero worship in all forms, but you are a fucking genius. I'm glad that I could live this chapter of life with you. Enjoy what comes next, and continue making fantastic music to add to your legacy for the miserable wretches of tomorrow.

As for me. I've always said that NIN live is equally as genius as the music, and these 20 years of shows have easily been some of the best and happiest moments in my life. And last night was NO exception, as for 2+ hours I was not my dying, sick 40 year old self but was a healthy, disillusioned 20 year old me again. Sigh.

And for the whining pigs. Yeah, the venue was overcrowded and HOT. Some assholes bought all the merch. There were a LOT of cameras. But seriously? At the very last of NIN live you really wanna nitpick and whine? Seriously?
