no show specific poster I take it?
I looked for one at multiple merch booths (NIN & riot fest) and didn't find any. I asked one of the guys manning the booth and he said there wasn't one for NIN or QotSA. Kind of a bummer about that, but I did manage to get both the NIN and QotSA shirts that say Riot Fest / Chicago on them, so I'm happy with that.
Damn, by the time I got there all the Riot Fest shirts must have been gone.
Images of the NIN merch booth from Riot Fest (from reddit user MrSelfDestruct_XIII):
I'm hoping for an exclusive item at Aftershock, but not holding my breath. Surprised there wasn't an exclusive t-shirt for Bakersfield.
Wonder why Riotfest got one.
The Survivalism single art fit the name of the fest incredibly well, the date was a standalone for the entire month and in turn felt a bit more unique, they were playing with a lot of their influences and past related bands, and chances are it wasn't hard to put together since they were reusing old art to begin with.
I wish I'd noticed them and gotten one, but I already got the Reckless slipmat, so any more souvenirs would have just been bonuses.
That makes sense because we got there around 5. Early bird gets the worm i guess :0 congrats to all that got one !
Was there any new merch at vegas?
No, the Vegas show didn't have any exclusive or new merchandise.
But it did have copies of Broken, TDS, and The Fragile on vinyl
There was the $30 NTAE journal from the web store at aftershock. The add violence fabric shopping bag wasn't available though, probably because the venue had a very strict no bags policy for some reason. All bags brought in needed to be see-through.
i ended up buying a bootleg NIN shirt from a vendor outside the show for $10, haha.
has the "NIN" logo on the front and says "aftershock" and then has all the band names that went to the festival at the back.
$10 well spent, lol.
Sacramento had a Venue specific poster. Numbered and limited to 250.
If somebody has a pic of the poster they were selling at the Sacramento show last night please post it. Thank you.
Yeah, I still wish that Riot Fest had gotten a poster. Interesting to see the Art is Resistance flag make an appearance in the bottom-right corner. Think there's any significance there? Or just goes well with the imagery?
The artist titled the work "I Hope They Cannot See" which is a direct reference to Year Zero's TGD.
36x15 is such an obtuse set of dimensions for a show print. love it.
I went to the Vegas show and bought some swag before the show and left it in my car. I bought a NIN shirt the black on black NIN logo, this is my new favorite thing. Its simple just a logo goes great with black jeans. I'm going to wear it all the time I should have bought two. I also bought a ADD VIOLENCE cd and a 1/4 jack NIN key ring.
The updated NIN.com store has a limited edition overall tour date poster for the 2017 shows:
I like the design of the Sacramento one better, which I regret buying at the show and it's sold out online now, but I do like the fact there is something that has all the dates on it. So for that reason alone, I'm contemplating one.
This new poster would have been perfect for Riot Fest (what with the riot cop and all), but I'm happy all the same. Can't wait to frame mine and hang it!
Bought one! 40 bucks shipped, but its rad though
