2013.04.10 - Pomona, CA @ Fox Theater

[Leviathant]

The first stop on the tour, you can browse the inside of this venue in Google maps (https://www.google.com/maps?q=fox+theatre+pomona+capacity&ll=34.056144,-117.749577&spn=0.006578,0.010386&sll=34.056675,-117.750219&layer=c&cid=-625515851983235159&panoid=exEn0Dm4aIbikkvuoVtE_Q&cbp=13,241.23,,0,1.02&hq=fox+theatre+pomona+capacity&t=m&z=17&cbll=34.056763,-117.750443).

[DVYDRNS]

This is a great venue. Saw the Kills and the Black Angels there a couple years back. Great place for a show.

[johnbron]

Assuming I can snag a ticket, I'll be at this show. Sadly, It'll be the only HTDA show I can get to this round. Really looking forward to it!

[cynicmuse]

Count me in. I saw TVOTR here a few years ago and really liked the venue.

Well then we should drink a beer

[brklgrl8888]

I'm pretty new to the area and have never been to this venue. I've heard the actual floor level is limited to the first 500 people who show up (which won't include me, since I'll be leaving west LA at 6:30) and then there is either general admission balcony seating or general admission standing room on tiered levels. I would probably shoot for the standing room and would assume I'd end up on one of the tiers and not actually on floor/pit. Is the view and sound relatively decent from those sections still? Enough to merit a rush hour drive from west LA/century city?

[Magtig]

I'm going to try to make it to this show, budget allowing.

[cynicmuse]

I was in the front of the tiers the only time that I've been there; the view and sound were good from there. I can't vouch for the rest of the place.

[katsuragi]

Got my pre-sale tix! I'll be there.

[howdidislipinto]

See everyone there!

[brklgrl8888]

I got my presale ticket! Was surprised that we didn't have to choose balcony or floor upon purchase. I am driving from work in west LA straight to the concert...hoping to escape early to take advantage of early entry so I can be in the pit! But if I get there after doors open, I am assuming we can pick either floor (tiers) or balcony?

Doors are at 8:00 so you actually might make it in the first group to get in. The pre-sale group is pretty small and we're supposed to get early entry. If you could leave by 6:00 you certainly would be all set.

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

Also heading out to Pomona from West L.A. Planning to be out by 4:30-5pm.

[fragility3.1]

I will be heading up from San Diego. Hoping to leave before 3pm and not have any traffic on the I-15.

[johnbron]

Flight booked and ticket secured. I'm so damn excited for this.

[Toadflax]

If anyone's looking to carpool, I'll probably leave LA in the late afternoon. Happy to take anyone for the price of a drink/help with parking costs/etc. PM me.

[johnbron]

You guys! LESS THAN A WEEK HOLY SHIT!!

[johnbron]

You guys! THREE DAYS HOLY SHIT!! No, seriously, I'm excited about this and I'm a little sad to see so few talking about it. <3

[Torgo]

This thread should be retitled "outbursts and countdowns from Johnbron."

[johnbron]

This thread should be retitled "outbursts and countdowns from Johnbron."
Haha! You dick. I'll see you there if you can be bothered to show up.

[ensanchecedor]

I agree with johnbron, it's gonna be the first official trent concert since wiltern and people seem not interested at all.

[jessamineny]

Don't get me wrong, I'm really psyched to first see the show in Toronto. But people around these parts shouldn't automatically be beside themselves just because it's TR onstage. I've been listening to NIN for... errrr, a really long time... so I haven't formed anywhere near the relationship with HTDA's music as I have with NIN.

[johnbron]

While I am partially excited to see Trent on stage again, I'm legitimately excited because I've fallen in love with this new album. Win/win.

TOMORROW NIGHT!

[wakeupjon]

HI GUYS,

I have two extra GA floor tix from ticketmaster. Does anyone want them for face value or NIN trade of equal or lesser value ($80 for the pair)? I know I only have two posts, which might make me look shady, but when the board crashed a few years ago I didn't really come back and keep posting, but back in the day my username was 'skinnypuppy' and Jessamineny can vouch for me as she slept on my couch in Los Angeles during the Wave Goodbye tour :)

Don't want these tix to go to waste.

best way to get in touch with me is via email or cell or twitter or fb / jon.hughes001 AT gmail DOT com, 818 four four two 8326 (txt me), twitter.com/wakeupjon facebook.com/wakeupjon

xoxo

[witte]

shame on you. not very gentle to drop such a nice lady on a couch. ;)

[jessamineny]

Actually, he gave me the bed... which was two feet away from the couch :D

And, yes, he's Good People.

[howdidislipinto]

Holy shit! One day! As someone lucky enough to be at the Wiltern, it DOES feel fun to have been at the very end of one thing and the very beginning of another. Very, very excited. The visual teases from all the HTDA members have me really excited. At first I was expecting a fun show, now I'm expecting my mind to be blown LITS-style. THE PRESSURE IS ON!

[butter_hole]

i wonder if there's going to be any new music played...

[sheepdean]

i wonder if there's going to be any new music played...
With 24 tracks to choose from, I hardly think they'd want to be debuting new sounds

[johnbron]

I want them to play "Is Your Love Strong Enough" but I doubt that's going to happen. PLEASE THANKS!

[butter_hole]

With 24 tracks to choose from, I hardly think they'd want to be debuting new sounds
true, but from the sounds of it, they finished writing the album a LONG time ago. never know what else they might have cooked up in the mean time.

[sheepdean]

IYLSE? probably got them a lot of non-NIN fans, I wouldn't be surprised if it's played

[johnbron]

Twenty four hours or less. TWENTY FOUR HOURS!

[witte]

Man, keep us updated. I'm curious.
For me 2.5 weeks to go...
:)

[AvelineCyborg]

I'm excited! The opening band seems decent as well, I don't know how to pronounce their name. Lol. It will be my first time to this venue and I'm glad I'm hearing great things about it.

[virushopper]

Free Parking around the venue!

[jaimie]

Well then we should drink a beer

Are you still going tonight?!

[richardp]

It's pronounced exactly how it looks. DIIV = Dive.

[fragility3.1]

I didn't know any place in Southern California still had free parking. Now I can use the $25 I had set aside for parking on merch.

[Fragile Teeth]

Excited for tonight. I didn't realize we we're going to their first show. Don't know what to expect.

[staleincense]

It's pronounced exactly how it looks. DIIV = Dive.
Don't know about you, but I still think DIIV looks like it should be pronounced "Deev".

[matt925]

Can you take a pic of the gig poster, if there is one?

[virushopper]

I didn't know any place in Southern California still had free parking. Now I can use the $25 I had set aside for parking on merch.

Yeah dude!

There are a lot spaces in the back of the venue.

[cynicmuse]

Yeah dude!

There are a lot spaces in the back of the venue.
One of the many reasons why I love the Fox Pomona Theater.

[johnbron]

That teaser video they posted kind of made my head explode. I cannot wait to see this tonight!

[MeetMyMet]

Don't know about you, but I still think DIIV looks like it should be pronounced "Deev".

DIIV, formerly known as Dive, is an American indie rock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indie_rock) band from Brooklyn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn), New York City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City).

[wakeupjon]

I figured it was pronounced Div (sort of like Dev, but Div, D-ih-V). Anyway, great band.

Ah! Ok thanks for clearing that up and everyone else. I was confused because it contains the roman numeral 7 but reversed so I was sorta thinking, "Dee Seven" or something. Lol. I figured it had to be something better than that! Wikipedia is always everyone's friend and I'm a dork. Anyways that's great there's parking in the back of the venue, I will keep that in mind. I'm surprised to hear there's no parking fee.

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

haha, common misconception. There's usually tons of free parking anywhere that's not Bev Hills, Downtown L.A., Hollywood, Culver City, Santa Monica :P

[DVYDRNS]

Are you still going tonight?!

I'm in Vegas :/

I mean. IM IN VEGAS!!!

And I'm coming home tomorrow. So I'm gonna miss this round...

[Magtig]

That teaser video they posted kind of made my head explode. I cannot wait to see this tonight!
See you there mofucka!

PS - I want seats in the balcony. I've been working so many hours I can barely stand, but I want to be there.

Limited band signed poster $55. Six designs. Tonight is 1/6. That's gonna be a major tour collectible.

Hm. I wonder if they won't be signing posters after show or w/e then, if they're charging for sig?

Omg I want the eye hoodie though

[richardp]

Yeah it looks like it says 80 Signed. So if they have that much signed at the Chicago show, let's just say I'm gonna be dashing for the merch booth. Hopefully they put a cap on those signed posters. Some dude in front of me at the Chicago Wave Goodbye show bought a giant stack of posters to flip on ebay. Like $300 dollars worth. I'd hope that they won't let that happen with these signed ones.

[butter_hole]

i doubt they'd refuse a signature if you caught them after the show - this is just for people that want them without the hassle.

[trollmanen]

I see $25 and $55 to the left of the poster, so I guess it's $25 for a non-signed poster? I can't make out what's to the right of it?

[Erik]

$55 signed, quantity 40 signed for this show
$25 unsigned, quantity 80 unsigned for this show

DIIV went on at exactly 9. They had a 30 minute set.

[Erik]

I am admittedly rusty when it comes to song titles but I will do my best to post what they play as they play it and keep editing this post. Otherwise you'd get an unnecessary flood of non-12 Rounds related tweets from the @12roundsnet handle.

Opened with The Wake Up.
Keep it Together
Parasite
And the Sky Began to Scream
Ice Age
Believers
How Long
Welcome Oblivion
BBB
The Space in Between (remix)
Fur-Lined
The Loop Closes
Mariqueen thanked the crowd and DIIV says one more song.
A Drowning

Encore:
On the Wing
Strings and Attractors
We Fade Away

The show is over. Good night!

[sheepdean]

If you don't know the title, just post a lyric snippet :P

And cheers!

[october_midnight]

Good on ya Erik for the live updates! And I still shake my head in disbelief when I see the price for that show. Twenty seven bucks. God damn, so cheap...

[The Reason Being]

Did I read somewhere they might be playing the Soft Moon version of Ice Age live or am I crazy?

[butter_hole]

curious as to how they're reproducing ice age live

[sheepdean]

If possible, can someone make a list/note of all instruments played (or at least what it looks like they're playing)?
Cheers!

[butter_hole]

the space in between (remix)


(guess: The version of the space in between that they'll be playing live is the remix version)

yeahhhhhhh who rules? I DO

[richardp]

What's the remix version? Don't believe I've ever heard it.

[sheepdean]

What's the remix version? Don't believe I've ever heard it.
No one has, HTDA are trolls

Ale: Bass, that wooden Aalto synth
Ack:.Knobtwiddling and synth
Q: Vocals, synth
TR: Guitar, vocals, keys, tambourine
Rob: Knobtwiddling, synth, vocals, visuals
at least as far as I could see.

[slave2thewage]

I was convinced they'd have IYLSE? in the encore. Oh well, seems like a fantastic show regardless.


TR: Guitar, vocals, keys, tambourine
THE TAMBOURINE WILL NEVER DIE!

Of course!

It IS quite a bummer they're not doing IYLSE?. It'd be a perfect set closer.

[sheepdean]

Thanks for all this Erik, can we send you to all the shows to get all the info? :D

[Fragile Teeth]

Amazing show. Better than NINJA by far. On par with LITS.

[Fragile Teeth]

Guys the remix of the space in between was VERY much like sonoios version of heart beat. The vocal melody is variated on top of heavy guitar chords that resembled too late all gone.

[Erik]

sheepdean I will be at Las Vegas, Monterey and San Francisco. Might not be as timely updates. I felt I owed this to ETS though.

[suprefan]

Awesome show, filmed almost all of it. Uploading now. Got the setlist, pic is here http://Instagram.com/p/X9E20pMktn/

[cynicmuse]

The show was excellent; I really enjoyed the visuals, especially the 3D polygon effect during BBB.

[suprefan]

First vid, more coming

http://youtu.be/JW-p_dKOpCY

[Fragile Teeth]

Damn, wasn't Mariqueen a bit hot when she was dancing.

[thefragile_jake]

Haha, Trent still loves the use of "HEY!" obviously still. Good to see some things never change. :)

[johnbron]

I'm so glad I made it to this show. Everything about it was great and I was happy to hear Mariqueen belt out a great vocal performance.

I wish I could catch the NYC show but that's just not in my budget right now.

[Toadflax]

First vid, more coming

You owe the back of my head MAJOR royalties.

Thanks for posting! Absolutely perfect show.

[Fragile Teeth]

Awesome show, filmed almost all of it. Uploading now. Got the setlist, pic is here http://Instagram.com/p/X9E20pMktn/
please tell me that you got the full remix of the space in between? it was definitely the work of alessandro.

[Fragile Teeth]

Good on ya Erik for the live updates! And I still shake my head in disbelief when I see the price for that show. Twenty seven bucks. God damn, so cheap...
I know right, my tickets were 20 bucks per person.

[howdidislipinto]

Really great show. To add to the instrument summary, Trent's guitar seemed to primarily be his octave-tuned one so he could play it slide guitar style and create his DRONES. He also played a little electric drum kit for BBB and had lots of fun clicking his drumsticks together. I would say Ally was almost 90% bass guitar, and was great at it.

Mariqueen was fucking spectacular. Vocal haters can suck a bag of dicks, because she didn't miss a note.

The Space In Between remix had almost no connection to the original other than the lyrics, as far as I could tell. A lot of songs were even better live. I hope there's a cool document of these versions eventually. Tracks from the original EP were improved a lot -- and sort of modified to fit the WO style. Believers was very different too, only BBB and A Drowning were relatively untouched as far as I could tell. And as we saw in the teaser vid, The Loop Closes got a very prominent disco beat under it that made it more fun to dance to live.

Again, great show. The optical illusion visuals were amazing. People where I stood gasped in shock when they thought the stage was moving towards them. And then even when they realized it was a trick, they gasped again when they moved back. So fucking cool.

Looking forward to Vegas.

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

It was an alright performance. The visuals were neat but it felt like they really took away from the performance and band energy. That said, the songs that had minimal visual distractions were really nice and worked. There were a hand full of songs that did not seem to translate well at all live. Overall, it wasn't bad though.


Also, it was nice seeing Gary Numan and Josh Freese swing by to see their first show.

The few songs that didn't translate well, "welcome oblivion, We fade Away" seemed to be due to Trent's guitar being too quiet.

[suprefan]

Yep, I got the remix. Wont be uploaded til the morning, so hang tight. Keep checking my channel, Parasite is going to be done in 15 mins.

Actually, I thought those were ok. One of my favorite HTDA tracks is The Believers and thought it was not meant to be performed live :/

[suprefan]

i wish too Late, all Gone was played. That seemed like it wouldve fit perfectly in the portion of the show where they seemed to pull out all the stops visually, but to no avail.

night guys

[DistantSamantha]

YOU LUCKY BASTARDS. No, seriously - looks like you've had amazing evening. And thanks for those of you who have shared pics & videos. Keep them coming!

[Jinsai]

yeah, oh well, I guess I'll be missing out on the stone roses.

[spiral94]

Did anyone do the presale ticket pickup and early entry? How did that work out? I have presale tickets for Chicago, and I'm a bit anxious that I don't have physical tickets in my hand.

[suprefan]

Why are you anxious. Yeah, they let people in about 15 mins early. You got a ticket in your hand when you picked it up at the box office.

I read through and if someone said it and I missed it I apologize, but what time did the show end local time?

[suprefan]

They went on at 10 last night and it was over just before 11:30. So just assume its 90 minutes or so from start time.

[Fragile Teeth]

Hahaha, was just gonna post it.
lol sorry, I refreshed your channel this morning and waited for it :rolleyes:

It's like the Sonoio Remix of Space In Between and we got to hear it first. I know there is a recorded version somewhere.

[suprefan]

Found The Wake Up/Keep it Together on Youtube (for those being anal about watching everything from the show, like myself):


Yeah I was recording it and then my battery died for some reason. Luckily I had a spare!

[JessicaSarahS]

Did security bother anyone about cameras?

[Fragile Teeth]

No, security was pretty lax at the fox theatre. People were smoking weed/cigarettes also and they dgaf.

[gorast]

Oh, it's gonna hurt to wait until the Coachella stream to watch any of these.

Setlist looks pretty nice, I'm surprised the entire EP was played.

[richardp]

Awesome show, filmed almost all of it. Uploading now. Got the setlist, pic is here http://Instagram.com/p/X9E20pMktn/

Optional Encore? Shit, hopefully they choose not to opt out of that at any of the shows.

[BenAkenobi]

I'm surprised the entire EP was played.
because entire EP is full of win, of course. faith = restored.

[suprefan]

Well for Coachella, they get an hour. The main set was pretty much an hour on the dot, so I expect that to be performed tomorrow and the other friday for the fest. And Im sure security will vary at some venues. I wouldnt expect the people at The Pearl for example to be totally forgiving, its vegas afterall. Probably NY with the Appolo cause its seated too, and you got gaurds walking up and down the aisle.

Ice Age, the new Hurt where douchebags yell shit in the silent parts.

[dominik]

How was the bass?

[Avarik]

Dude, this show had way too many parts where stupid fuckasses in the crowd decided to yell.

I thought it was fucking disrespectful for bitches to be moaning for Trent while Mariqueen was in the spotlight.

The bass was balanced. I didn't notice it much.

yeah some people didn't know the songs too well and couldn't tell when they were over and such... Also, I don't mind "woos" and "fuck yeahs" but I found the "I love you Trents" to be a bit disrespectful.

[PeedroPaula]

Yep, I got the remix. Wont be uploaded til the morning, so hang tight. Keep checking my channel, Parasite is going to be done in 15 mins.

Highly disrespectful.

People ruined a lot of this show. Like, every time Trent did something, all I could hear was girls screaming.

[JessicaSarahS]

Ice Age, the new Hurt where douchebags yell shit in the silent parts.

Greeeeeeat... :(

[staleincense]

I have to say that having watched the video, Ice Age is definitley a lot better live than just listening to a studio recording. Too bad we aren't getting a live album of this tour...

[fragility3.1]

I apologize if this is a repeat, I haven't had a chance to catch up on the entire thread yet.

Arrived about 5pm, had to beat traffic out of San Diego, and ended up being fourth in line for the pre-sale line. It went fairly smooth, other than the TM will call people that were trying to trick security to letting them in with/before us, but thankfully the people controlling the pre-sale set them straight.

There were only 100 show posters, apparently there will be 6 rotating designs during the course of the tour. 40 were signed and $55 as reported above, with the remaining 60 being unsigned and costing $25.

Got a place dead center on the rail. DIIV went on at 9pm, and I really enjoyed it. I did not enjoy the idiot to my right that kept telling his two friends how terrible he thought DIIV was after each song.

HTDA took the stage at 10pm. The white lights during TWU were so intense that my eyes were watering, it was staring into a supernova. I recommend polarized shades for that song. Mariqueen was definitely tearing up when she sang Ice Age, my friend agreed with me. Rob looked a little stiff throughout the show, probably just first show jitters/anxiety. Hopefully he loosens up a bit and enjoys himself more as the tour goes on. Annoying girls screaming out "Trent Reznor" and "I love you Trent" were the worst part of the show.

Did any one else notice the guy by the soundbooth that looked like Robin? Or am I mistaken?

I'm aiming for rail for my show, but after seeing the images and videos, I'm wondering if I should stand in the back. Did being up close take away from the visuals? Or was it still pretty awesome?

[Avarik]

I was front and center (friend of the guy who hated on DIIV the entire time they were up there, LOL) and it was cool but after seeing videos from further away, the visuals are much better if you stand back a little bit. If I go again I would try and be further back.

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

Let me tell you bro, when the lead synth came in after the added bass, it knocked me on my ass.

The bass was balanced. I didn't notice it much.

Really? I somehow expected Trent to turn the bass so high that you almost shit yourself.

Also, were people dancing or just standing around?

[jessamineny]

5 p.m. and fourth in line? Lordy be. For that other band, I'd swear you typed 5 AM :D

standing around, head bobbing. Not enough room where I was but I was head bobbing as hard as possible without looking like a singular head bobbing fool.

[dominik]

standing around, head bobbing.

how fucking lame. I want to dance just from looking at the videos, especially loop closes has an awesome beat.

[sheepdean]

I'm liking Trent's voice on And The Sky Began To Scream, it's not as NIN as I was expecting. Def. carving their own sound out.

And huge props to suprefan

I did man. I danced as hard as I could for the little space.

4th in line for presale, not the non presaale line. Plenty of people who didnt get presale will line up early so they can be first after presale people are let in.

How was security with cameras etc? could i bring my new dslr were they hassling anyone.

[dominik]

Why would you want to do that when you can enjoy the show and dance instead?

[The Reason Being]

Was there any point in the show where the band members (namely Mariqueen & Trent I guess) spoke to the crowd? Or was it just a "come on stage, look and sound badass, leave" type thing?

[Callahan]

How was security with cameras etc? could i bring my new dslr were they hassling anyone.

I'd like to know this as well.

Also, the more I think about it, with the way HTDA presents itself, it almost seems like you get more value from the concert by actually being further back. They are all hidden behind the screens anyway, so the focus is to actually enjoy the visuals with the music, while the band just does their thing in the background.

[Fragile Teeth]

Mariqueen spoke briefly before A Drowning, the last song before the encore.

[Eddie Diaz]

Was there any point in the show where the band members (namely Mariqueen & Trent I guess) spoke to the crowd? Or was it just a "come on stage, look and sound badass, leave" type thing?

Yeah at one point Mariqueen said that it was their first show and that they were enjoying playing for the amazing crowd. Something like that...

[Avarik]

Mariqueen said something about it being their first show, gave a shout out to DIIV, and said goodnight at the end. No one else spoke.

[suprefan]

You wont get it in. Only slr's were the people who were there with the media, and some crew people, thats it.

[fragility3.1]

I'm aiming for rail for my show, but after seeing the images and videos, I'm wondering if I should stand in the back. Did being up close take away from the visuals? Or was it still pretty awesome?

I enjoyed being on the rail and after viewing the videos on youtube, I really don't feel that I missed any of the visuals. Besides, seeing Mariqueen shiver and tear up during Ice Age was an experience that the people in the back watching the visuals couldn't capture.

[Frozen Beach]

Only bad part about Rob being in the band is that it means we won't get videos from him...

Also, I wasn't a fan of the album, but the performance looked rather awesome.

Strings and Attractors

[cynicmuse]

Highly disrespectful.

People ruined a lot of this show. Like, every time Trent did something, all I could hear was girls screaming.

I had an equal opportunity screamer near me... also got a few "I love you Mariqueen" and "I love you Atticus". I cringed during the first song when the screaming started once they figured out which shadowy figure on stage was TR, but the section near me shut up pretty much after that.

I was really impressed by the stage and the scrim like things on to which they were projecting the visuals... they looked like clear plastic rods hanging in layers; they could both move them across the stage and rotate them which would change the visuals projected on them (and the projectors were massive 2x2x5 boxes).

Also, if you were there by 4:30pm or so, even the non-presale line was like 10-15 people (went by them on my way to the presale line).

I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but THANKS. Really looking forward to the show in NY now. I was more "meh" before seeing these :)

[Jinsai]

No, security was pretty lax at the fox theatre. People were smoking weed/cigarettes also and they dgaf.

Well that's an improvement. Last time I was at the Fox theater the security were psychotic assholes.

I had my friend's girlfriend scream "I love you Rob" since he wasn't getting much love from the crowd, felt bad leaving him out.

Well Trent and Mariqueen are the main focus during the show. It makes sense. I wanted to scream out to Alessandro during the "The Space In Between" remix, but I had to contain myself. LOL why are we not allowed to have fun at a concert anymore?

I think it's ok in between songs, but I don't think it's nice during songs.

[sheepdean]

Everyone should be screaming for Atticus though

[Fragile Teeth]

Meh, I mean when my band plays I like to hear reactions during the music. It helps pump you up.

[cynicmuse]

LOL why are we not allowed to have fun at a concert anymore? I'm all for having fun during concerts... and the screamer near me didn't really bother me once I determined that she was an equal opportunity screamer. It was more background noise than anything else... not like that time that I ended up next to 2-3 die hard Radiohead fans at a NIN LITS concert who proceeded to bitch that NIN < Radiohead for 95% of the show. They only shut their mouths during In This Twilight. I only have a problem when the behavior of the people around me is massively disrespectful and/or obnoxious. The crowd on the whole was nice.

[slave2thewage]

...Why are there people screaming every time TR has a solo vocal part? Rude, tbh.

[howdidislipinto]

"Fun" at a concert doesn't mesh with the horrible girl next to us screaming, "OPEN THE SCREEN" during the first three songs AS IF IT WAS A FUCKING CURTAIN THEY FORGOT TO OPEN AND NOT THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE FUCKING VISUAL CONCERT.

Her later screams (including screams every time Trent sang) were, "TREEENT YOU'RE PERFECT! TREEEEEEEENT! PEEEEEERFECT!" and "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST PLAY TERRIBLE LIE."

My girlfriend wanted to stab her. I kinda wish she had.

Everyone else seemed to be having fun without ruining anyone else's fun, but hey, to each their own, I guess.

[DVYDRNS]

I would have told her to stfu

[howdidislipinto]

I would have told her to stfu

Everyone tried. I don't think she heard us. She was on a different plane of existence brought on by (Tr)e(nt)cstacy, I guess. By the time the encore came around and she was still going the "shut ups" turned to one guy behind me yelling, "KILL YOURSELF." Still didn't work, ha.

Best part? She was wearing an XXXL bootleg TDS shirt. You wouldn't even shell out for the official fucking shirt, lady!

Someone should have punched her in the gunt. . .

"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST PLAY TERRIBLE LIE."
I am actually crying with laughter.

[suprefan]

Actually, from where I was, there was some drunk lady talking the whole time. It got worse as the show went on. Her boyfriend didnt seem happy about it either.

[ensanchecedor]

OMG, I hope Trent won't begin to hate that song because of that stupid biatch.

[theimage13]

I am actually crying with laughter.

Really? I'm normally great with laughing at stupidity, but I can't find any humor here. Honestly, it's people like this woman who actually make me feel okay about not getting to see HTDA this year. I'd love to see them, but this is not only rude and disrespectful to the artist, but annoying to everyone else who paid to go see them. IT'S NOT FUCKING NINE INCH NAILS. If you want to hear Terrible Lie so badly, go buy a plane ticket to Chicago. Otherwise, if you really have to scream all night long, at least scream for a song from the band you paid to see.

[reseen_lamenti]

My girlfriend wanted to stab her. I kinda wish she had.
Also don't forget:

"I LOVE YOU TRENT! WHERE IS TRENT GOING?! TRENT SHOULD SING! SING SOMETHING TRENT, LIKE TERRIBLE LIE! SHAKE THAT ASS TRENT!! TRENT YOU HAVE A FINE ASS! "

[Frozen Beach]

Now you guys know why I don't go to concerts. I'm sure I'd be arrested for assault.

[ltrandazzo]

Also don't forget:

GentleRed was at the show?

[ninperu]

--> Well the only song/video missing is The Believers...

[Trunkjob]

Great videos suprefan, excited to see them on the Cochella stream.

All of the posts about bad concertgoers remind me of the only NIN show I went to where some drunk woman spilled her beer all over my sister. Fun times.

[orestes]

Man, watching last night's footage is making me regret passing on the Chicago show.

edit: Shaddap Tony! :p

[Avarik]

Also don't forget:

"I LOVE YOU TRENT! WHERE IS TRENT GOING?! TRENT SHOULD SING! SING SOMETHING TRENT, LIKE TERRIBLE LIE! SHAKE THAT ASS TRENT!! TRENT YOU HAVE A FINE ASS! "

Yeah she was fucking out of control.

The show was like, cool, I get to hear this part of the song now - oh wait no I get to hear bitches screaming about TRENT REZNOR now, nevermind.

[Jinsai]

aaaaaand, I'll just say that setting people on fire is a completely crazy response to almost anything

[butter_hole]

Ah, makes me yearn for the days when people would set idiots on fire (literally), as was done during a 2005 NIN show in Davis, CA that I attended.
Yeah I'm sure Trent wants you to fucking set people on fire.

Oh, you caught me: I truly advocate burning people at concerts. BTW, where is the outrage concerning the above posts advocating the notion of stabbing the annoying woman, you clown? With that, get back on topic. I look forward to attending the concert, next week.

[The Reason Being]

There's a great moment on that bootleg,

20 people: "WOO Trent!"

1 guy: "Shut Up.."

20 people: "We love you Trent!111"

1 guy: "Uhh.. we love all you up there actually"

:)

[JamesCmuse]

Those visuals. I've never seen anything like it...

[jessamineny]

They're pretty spectacular. It's a lot of investment (time, money, creativity) for 13 shows. I really do wonder now if they'll be taking this on the road with NIN.

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

Also don't forget:

"I LOVE YOU TRENT! WHERE IS TRENT GOING?! TRENT SHOULD SING! SING SOMETHING TRENT, LIKE TERRIBLE LIE! SHAKE THAT ASS TRENT!! TRENT YOU HAVE A FINE ASS! "
this is hilarious XD ... and obnoxious. The one thing that cracked us up throughout the show was just seeing people react and go nuts any time TR did anything.

[UninTY]

have we ever gotten an official "OK" from the HTDA camp regarding the taping policy?

[Avarik]

have we ever gotten an official "OK" from the HTDA camp regarding the taping policy?

Not that I've read. At least someone out there will capture the live stream on YouTube...

HTDA better release a proper live DVD of this.

[sheepdean]

I thought Rob confirmed there WOULDN'T be a DVD?

[Callahan]

I thought Rob confirmed there WOULDN'T be a DVD?

If that's the case, I'm glad I booked a last minute trip to Vegas this weekend!

[brotha52]

I'm so not sorry I brought it up. I've been crying with laughter non-stop.
At least from the video footage the outbursts seem tame.

Where? That's kind of annoying if it's true.

[sheepdean]

I just checked - there's conflicting statements. The Coachella show won't be on DVD but maybe there'll be a download of all the art and shit. Man idk, they'll probably forget afterwards anyway

[Jinsai]

I thought Rob confirmed there WOULDN'T be a DVD?


Well, the footage that will be streamed from the Coachella broadcast tonight will be HD, and professionally shot + mixed decently... should be an adequate alternative, and I'm sure somebody (and by that, I mean 50 or so people) will video cap it

[richardp]

We also gotta hope that someone in the ETS community will take the audio from the stream and maybe tweak some things and release a fantastic sounding torrent too.

[SM Rollinger]

That would be choice.

I got the boot that is up on dime, and man there is some idiots in the crowd. I cant wait to get some soundboard audio from this tour.

Anyways, The Believers was awesome, i really liked that version. And Parasite was choice too, i get a kick out of Trents pre-chorus "YEAAAHHHHH!!" in that one, and that openbody les paul hes playing is nicest guitar ive ever seen him on stage with. BBB is sweet, hell all the tracks off the first ep are awesome.

I remember back in the day when Trent hardly talked to the crowd and sung everything prettymuch by the book. Now hes joking with the crowd and all like "WHOOOOOOO!!!" all the time.

man i feel old
