Disagree. Whatever history there was with European (and other territories) getting less than USA - understandably, I admit, due to the cost of carting that show around, the fact that he made a point of saying that, mid-Tension, suggested that was exactly what we were getting. What else could it have meant?!
Like I said, Trent's remark is basically the same thing that every band says before a tour that's being promoted. Unless he said "We're bringing the production over to the UK", I wouldn't have expected it. Trent's reputation on that subject supersedes any vague comments he might make.
Honestly, I don't consider NIN a show that I care much about the visuals for. It's nice to have shiny lights, but I was never into NIN for the art side of things. If stripped down = less stress for the crew and thus maybe a more intense set, I'm all for it.
And hey, maybe Trent can bring a saxophone in place of 300m of surgical tubing.
Man, that version of The Great Destroyer on Smores' recording from the 28th is sick as all hell. Too awesome.
Ok, Tension never left the US, you have a point there. But they brought LITS down to South America, which is even harder to do than Europe. I think Trent was just too bored of that format to bring it over to Europe.
Not to mention the festival production, which, as I said before, was not quite LITS, but it was far more than what they're currently doing. They took that shit to Asia, Europe, and the US.
I trust Trent, and I honestly believe we'll see a screen pop up when they hit festivals. As he said it himself, when it's just 4 guys onstage, it tends to lose people's attention. It won't lose mine, but I'm not the only person watching that gig.
Wow, a setlist featuring no tracks from the latest LP. Who does that?
Well, it looks like the 3x3 'tic-tac-toe' lights survived. Those things arguably did more in terms of versatility and overall effect than the stealth screens did for Tension, so while it may not be the full production, the light show should certainly be nothing to scoff at.
Some tv show or radio show just interviewed me, said Trent is gonna see it and I begged him to play the song AATCHB live haha
I also mentioned ETS, NIN hotline and Matt Dunphy and Gary Numan etc. they said they'll edit it together and Trent will see it yada yada. I think they asked me 10 questions in total

NIN up first http://instagram.com/p/lMfYWjyutl/ http://instagram.com/p/lMflkjE01O/#
Looks like they opened with A Warm Place into Somewhat Damaged
The tambourine is back (not that it went away). The lights are actually looking pretty cool

Now we're up to: A warm place, somewhat damaged, terrible lie, sanctified and only.
Interesting start... @Ryan is probably hopping mad that Only is making an appearance, and so early in the set as well, odd.
I'm gonna attempt round 2 of trying to sleep. I was laying in bed for nearly an hour and then I remembered, hey, NIN should be on stage now in AUS... let's go online and see if the setlist has started.
EDIT: And 1 quick edit before I go, Burn just got added.

I was the one editing setlistfm. The stuff on setlistfm is not in order (barring warm place and sd), this is just what I'm seeing via instagram, twitter and vines. Once everything gets revealed since nin's set finishes in 10-15 mins from now, the running order will be fixed.

I was just standing at the front of the presale line (non NIN.com one) and they asked me.
and yes, fuck Only! Pretty standard set list.
in the interview they asked me what would open and I guessed Somewhat Damaged... go
me! Ps recorded it all. Hopefully tomorrow more interesting stuff is played.
Not sticking around for QOTSA.
Also no, not wearing anything NIN, just black.
So really only 10 songs? That's.. not a lot
Setlistfm is obviously incomplete. People are still watching Queens (eg.) and haven't even got home yet. Patience. Check again in a few hours.
Someone just posted this on NIN facebook group
