In terms of sound (probably because I was close to a speaker) it was ear-shattering, but/and it was really interesting to watch the guys play with all their pedals and knobs and twiddlers with the knowledge that the only raw input was a guitar. Thanks to Christo I got a place in the middle of the barrier for the show (see he's not always a racist cunt) which also allowed Torgo to get a clear view of the stage. I can't really remember what was played (without checking to see what others posted here) but it was a big ball of fantastic, and a great one to go out on for this tour. For some reason I bawled during two songs I don't have that much of a connection to (Ruiner, and that one about telemarketing). Hearing I Die, You Die was great - I knew within a couple of seconds of the song starting why that pungasmic song was chosen, but I wish I'd paid more attention to the song on CD in the past so that I wouldn't have to wing singing along. I hope Gary doesn't guest to sing My Shadow in Vain this week, or I'll have to cause Jihad on Los Angeles. I didn't really want to leave after the show, but there's only so many times you can run back and forth across an LA street without getting run over. If you heard Wannabe or Backstreet's Back at this point in the evening, that was us, driving questionably due to laughter. Once again, it was good to meet everyone at the shows - either as a reunion or for the first time. If we said hello but didn't exchange names, this was us: [twitpic.com]

Does anyone else think that it might be his girlfriend's account? I don't have time to research it right now. I don't know why it matters, I don't think we can do anything about it anyways.

I try to not be the guy fucking up the show for 15 - 20 people at a time, by blocking their view entirely. I saw in your vids, you actually captured him in a couple of scenes when you panned the crowd. Yeah I agree that his pole cam was very annoying and did block the view for some (including me at times). I hope he follows your lead and releases his video for those who gave up the live view so he could record (and hopefully share) with us post event. Thanks again for posting your vids synthetik - awesome vids, thank you for sharing, and posting them so quickly! The pole cam dude I'm quite sure is part of the NIN crew filming for a future NIN DVD/blu-ray release. He had laminated NIN ID/creds. I was near him for nearly the whole show and admit it was a little annoying especially when I was trying not to get bumped into him, but at the same time was understanding that this could be material that will appear on a future DVD release. I just moved out of his way so I could see the whole stage OK. I counted 5 pole cams total. The other ones were more towards the back and sides and not in the middle of everyone. Besides, tripods/monopods were not allowed in the show (according to sources I read)... Yeah, he was at the first T5 next to me for about ten minutes. He did not last in the pit very long that night. He is with the crew and you guys will probably end up on the DVD.

Been a long time fan since PHM and felt last night was a real treat and I feel very fortunate to have gone to the show. My girlfriend and I managed to buy tickets at the door. The whole experience seems surreal. I thought the band sounded great and totally destroyed the place. Down In It is one of my favs and was happy to hear it since it is one of the rarely played songs. They always destroy The Big Comedown and TDS has become a favorite as of lately. Enjoyed the long set list and leaving the club a sweaty mess took me back to my 20's. Yes, I too was bummed I wasn't able to buy a shirt. We stuck around to the very end and we asked by security to leave via the back door. Luckily, we exited right into the VIP area outside. Hung out for a bit and got to meet Gary Newman, Justin and Robin. All three were really great guys who were very friendly and talkative. I feel like we got our own meet and greet since we missed the chance on the first leg of the wave goodbye tour. I shot the whole show on mini dv and will try to upload it to a torrent site soon, but I will need some help/instructions. I may mail out some copies on DVD to those who are interested. I'm busy the next week. So, please give me some time. Also, we met some really nice people in line yesterday that made the experience all the more enjoyable. Tony you are a mad man. I thought I go to a ton of concerts but you put me to shame. Can't wait for the Fonda and the Wiltern!!! Is that you Bill? You and Erika? If so, thank her for lettin me stay in front of you two at the end of show. That was a cool spot to end the show from. I want one of those DVD's too...ha! Great people, great show! -josh Josh, That is me (Bill and Erika). Great meeting you at the show. Maybe we'll see you at the Fonda tonight. I'll be sure to make you a copy of the DVD. PM me with your address.

maryelle member THAT is a big-ass lens-TR Joined: 05/07/08 Location: Atlanta Posts: 1,147	Does anyone know if the girl who was going to take Echo did? Henry, the guy who had the NIN music blasting from his studio on Glendale, came by at one point with him and said he was putting him in the shop with the green door (or something like that) and that after the show this girl should come by for him but I don't know if she ever got the message. I really hope so. He was a super-sweet cat. I said he hit the Lifetime Guest List AAA Pass Jackpot when he hooked up with that group of sidewalk sleepers! That cat went from eating trash to sleeping on a down comforter with his new person. I really hope she found him afterward. PS He def needs to be neutered ASAP! Edited 1 time(s).

TheFragile1998 member Joined: 09/02/09 Location: Santa Monica Posts: 2	OMG! I had so much fun last night! I got there early and my friends and I were able to get small Tshirts from the merch booth. I am so sad that this is the last NIN tour, I've seen NIN about 6 times over the last 8 years. My friends and I were upfront for awhile but it was too HOT, so we moved towards the back of the club to cool off. Trent's voice was cool, I didn't notice any voice problems. My favorites from last night were: The Frail, The Wretched and Terrible Lie. Robin was awesome on HLAH. My friend found a NIN guitar pick, so we were happy. I saw the fire department guys looking around and that older 50ish guy asked me if I had seen Mariqueen Maandig around. He was whipping out his mobile phone to show his photos to anyone who wanted a peek. Overall, one of the best NIN concerts I have been to.

byron member Joined: 04/28/08 Location: Boston Posts: 11	this show drained me both physically and emotionally. I'm still a bit dazed and my hearing hasn't quite returned to normal. first, the t-shirt guy. it was perfectly legal and perfectly unethical. i was disappointed not to get a shirt, especially when i was only a few people back in line when they finally sold out. he went to the show as an investment opportunity, which deprived real fans of both a possible ticket and shirts. i won't lie that i was bitter and jealous over anyone i saw who did get a shirt after the show, but, in the end, it's just a shirt. the tickets are far more valuable to me as a memento. ok, the show. i was in front of the right side speakers (thus the hearing loss), a person in from the rail for most of the night. it was a neat place to be as the camera guy was filming on that side, so every time trent or gary would glare at the camera it looked like they were staring straight at us. props to the security people handing out water to the people up front, though this one girl and her rather tall boyfriend ended up with like three whole bottles to themselves.. HEALTH was great. while nothing they performed was what i would call catchy, the sheer energy they poured into their music was amazing. nin was fantastic. sure the set list didn't contain any hoped-for surprises, though i think TDS live at webster set all our expectations way to high for every show to have some special gimmick. it was a great set, with gary numan as a nice touch. the raw energy and, yes, heat of the venue really added to the whole experience. i staggered out and had to sit down for awhile just to recover. bummed i had to refund the wiltern tickets, but i'm so glad echoplex was the last show i got to see.

noir member null Joined: 11/27/07 Location: Denver Posts: 73	synthetik: Any chance you could make audio rips after upping all your videos? To the people complaining about those recording the shows, you have to understand that it's generally not a personal benefit thing, it's a charitable act that benefits all users who might want to watch the content. Especially when it comes to the guys hired by the band, would you really have no recorded content from the show? My memories will fade. I'll quickly forget the intimate details of the show. I love that NIN has given fans the opportunity to record these shows. Have all of these photos and videos helps me preserve my memories from this amazing show. I really appreciate the people that make the effort to record these shows. No way my arm could stay up the whole show, so I'm glad other people's can Thank you to all of those who got video and pictures. I'm glad I'll never have to worry about the details fading.

The guy I saw buying up a lot of shirts had some kind of fauxhawk looking thing with designs shaved in his head. I saw someone take a picture of him I. Okay. I know who this guy is now. He was standing behind me in line (but slowly cut his way up the line about 8 or 9 people.) He was a big white guy. 6'6" probably 250lbs built with designs shaved in his head. His name is Michael and he's from New Jersey. The entire time he was saying "all i want to do is go buy some shirts and go to the bathroom." Yep that was him. He was wearing some kind of shirt from this tour as well. Wasn't he having issues getting into the venue when they were handing out tickets or was that his + 1? People were bitching when he put $700 out there for all the crap he was buying but the merch guy said "if we have it and you ask for it we're selling it"... what a dick. How about everyone ignores him and his ebay listing. If people refuse to overpay for these shirts, he will be stuck with them and think twice before he tries to scalp merch again. Hopefully, they will limit quantities at the last shows.

I dont know where you were standing because that is exactly how I left the Echoplex. Re-reading the posts - I agree - if no water was being passed around more people would have been yanked. I left soaked head to toe.
