This was probably the most humane NIN show I've ever been a part of. I only say that because I was able to stick on the rail for about 90% of the show.
So glad I got tickets to two other shows. This is something that needs to be seen more than once.
Satellite I gotta admit was pretty decent live. Much better than Disappointed, Running, or VMOE, imo. I'm thinking many of the same tracks are gonna be locked in for this tour with a small amount of rotation, with more variety on a second leg perhaps?
I'm never gonna get that goddamn tambourine. Sigh.
And here we have it, a saxamaphone at a NIN show:

The only thing that would have made it better would have been if Trent were playing it.
By the way, I hope I'm not alone in thinking that Explosions in the Sky were simply fantastic. Great opener. Beautiful instrumentals.
Amusing story: Making small talk with the couple in front of me when I kinda mentioned to myself that this girl sitting to my right had sweet nin tats on her leg. Lady I was talking to proceeds to whip out her camera and take a pic of her leg, zero fucks given. Poor girl looked over very confused, all I could do was shrug.
Decent crowd minus the two rail monsters in front of us who were freaking out about anyone putting their hand on the bar near them, and the creepos behind trying to act scary behind us in some sad effort to steal our spots, who were also trying to tell this 14 she should be in the back instead. I think her giant of a father shut that down. Talked to a lady about astrological signs and everyone was exchanging dog pics. Good peoples.
"Copy Of A"
"1,000,000"
"Terrible Lie"
"March Of The Pigs"
"Piggy"
"All Time Low"
"Disappointed"
"Came Back Haunted"
"Find My Way"
"Satellite"
"Survivalism"
"Running"
"A Warm Place"
"Somewhat Damaged"
"Wish"
"Burn"
"The Hand That Feeds"
"Head Like A Hole"
"The Frail"
"The Wretched"
"Echoplex"
"In This Twilight"
"While I'm Still Here"
"Black Noise"
"Hurt"
Almost similar to St. Paul except for the random and confusing inclusion of Echoplex.
Allright, now it makes sense what I could barely discern during the sndchk (satellite & echoplex). What more needs to be said at 5am? Great peeps in the queue, more HM tracks in the set, TR politely asking for a pick to play "terrible lie" - fun times!

Personally I thought that Echoplex was a welcome surprise.
I would have really loved to have heard Into the Void like they had in KC though.
Great show overall.
The inclusion of the backup vocalists for The Wretched was an amazing addition. They really gave the song some texture and bite that would otherwise be missing.

The lead up and arrangement of somewhat damaged was pretty nuts last night.
My gf and I are in this picture, cool.
I was baffled by the amount of sitters. My section was pretty good, but there were people in front of me sitting in the first row. Really? I don't get it. I guess it worked out for me though because I was rocking out and I had a great view.
Loved the setlist with all of the new tracks, loved the backup singers, loved the light display. Such a great concert.
People on the 2nd tier mostly sat. My girlfriend and I stood up which led everyone for several rows directly behind us to stand up. It was kind of ridiculous though. I can see sitting during an opener, but I can't sit during the main band. I need to move a little.
If you were at the St. Louis show last night, send the Underneath It All podcast a video/audio review of the show to our email ninpodcast@underneathitall.org
You can also visit the site Underneath It All and contact us through that. It seems like a bunch of opinionated fans watched the show last night, so share your thoughts with us and you could hear yourself on the next podcast.
Thanks!
Currently my highlight of the show:

My father in an electrician at Saint Louis University, where Chaifetz Arena, where last night's NIN show was held, is located. He went down to the arena today to see if he could score me one of the NIN banners that were hanging on the building until yesterday. People had already swooped in on those but he did look around to find these discarded drumsticks in a back stage suite. Success!
The point has a few pics from last night.

This pic is great.
Shit, what was the song toward the beginning where Trent started singing and then said "I need a fucking pick" into the mic? Had me and the wife laughing.
Did anyone else hear him when he dropped the pick during terrible lie?
"I'm all alone in this world you must despise,
I believed yo- god damnit I need a pick."
Edit: just saw your post, l4yer cak3, I'm glad I'm not the only one that caught it. Hahaha

Did anyone else hear Trent singing "Closer to god" towards the end of All Time Low?
My boyfriend and I were in 114 and as everyone was leaving we stayed waiting until it was clear. He had a guy come up from behind (bf was right next to exit row) and yell "hey, hey, hey" to get his attention. Looked back and the guy handed him the drumstick in the pic and said "this is from the band" and then ninja ran away so fast we didn't even get a look at him.
It doesn't look like the standard 1A that he uses... anyone know what the story behind this might be? We are stoked about it... was an amazing show!

how was security regarding cameras?
Of the five shows I've been to now, Trent has screwed up twice, both times during "Terrible Lie." Though I think my favorite was in 2009 at Charter One in Chicago when he screwed up the second verse then later on acknowledged it near the end of the show by saying, "By the way, for those of you who thought I might have fucked the words up in 'Terrible Lie,' that's the way it is now. That's the way it's supposed to be."
I was pretty surprised by how many people were sitting, but I was guilty too. I was in the front row of 114 and decided to only stand if the people around/behind me did. They didn't which after 3 hours of driving and hitting up too many local breweries was fine by me.
I saw my first NIN show over 18 years ago, and am proud to say Trent still brings it. I'm still in shock that he talked Pino into going on tour. I wasn't sure what to think when the women came out, but they worked.

Wow. Talk about a good time! Still kinda hung over, but it was well worth it!
