Source 2 here has the complete NIN & Bowie sets. It's not soundboard but is an excellent recording. & you do get "A Small Plot of Land". I saw the tour a few days after this in Tacoma. Still 1 of the best shows I've ever seen.

PS: Reeves Gabrels is unreal good on the tape!

I don't think I'd go quite that far but it's high up on the list for me. As stated above, the tour was amazing at least in the US. & I saw Bowie a real lot starting with the Serious Moonlight tour. Outside has aged real well. As with a lot of Bowie, he was way ahead of the rest of us.
Outside is my favorite album of his, too, actually.
I think they did actually if memory serves. Also, there are plenty of tapes where the tapers didn't start recording until Subterraneans. The tapers weren't hip to NIN, at least the older ones. For instance, JEMS did an excellent tape of Bowie in Tacoma but they didn't record the NIN set. That's why I like the Mt View show I mentioned earlier. It's got the whole thing. It's funny because there were plenty of shows where people left after NIN finished. I went with the evil ex & she whined the whole show about Bowie not playing the hits. It was a sign of things to come, haha.
Probably just a typo on my part. Most of the unconfirmed setlists were copied from Gladcarrot’s old site and other places on the internet. I am always hoping to confirm them with recordings. Hence why most shows do not have pages unless they have tapes.
Im trying to go back and upload Bowie’s sets as well for that tour. Just because it was a seamless performance, one into another. Plus, both Bowie and NIN collectors usually keep only one or the other sets. Which we’ve lost sets because of that. I want to change that.
I think this tour was one of the first tours TR started the whole “stage ambush” thing that he continued with Somewhat Damaged years later and kicked off the show while the house lights were still on.
Lol yes. What fillow said.
2006... it was nice to know going into the show it would start with the house lights on. I’d be pissed to have an incomplete tape.
I'm sure someone probably mentioned it, but I did not see it. Music On Vinyl is releasing Tin Machine II. Silver vinyl.
Yeah, the house lights were on (or it was still a bit sunny out if I remember). No band members on stage. Trent just walks out from the center of the stage from behind a curtain, walks right up to the microphone (maybe 10-15 steps) without pausing and screams "Hey God!" - right into Terrible Lie. I was right up front, but some of my friends had their back to the stage and missed the surprise entrance.
^ Bahaha! Mike Garson is in pretty good form, there (even busts out a little bit of "Trust in the Law" from Watchmen at 26:00)!
G-Eazy covering "Lazarus"

Ouvrez le Chien is already 'out there' thanks to streaming sites existing in the part of the world where it's Friday already. Sounding pretty fucking great! Much better than the bootlegs from this tour. If only NIN's part of the set had been mixed like this, too...
Ouvrez le Chien is simply awesome! Pity that the NIN material (with & without Bowie) wasn't included. In reality, it was 1 long set. Marilyn Manson was the opening act here but I missed them due to horrible traffic on a work night. The venue is notorious for that. I saw all of the main event though. Reeves Gabrels was just stellar on that tour. The duet version of "Hurt" is an all time fave.
I sure hope they move forward with the box sets they have been doing and include this. Flawed though they are (missing the stuff on the 30th anniversary Diamond Dogs extra disc for example), I have enjoyed them. I imagine they'd only need to do 2 more to wrap up the collection, Tin Machine through Earthling and hours through Blackstar. Many of us around here have a special attachment to the outside/earthling era i would think.
Hours is great. Thursday's Child remains one of my top Bowie songs.
95 to 03 is a criminally underrated Bowie era imo. Even though it's not his most successfull or popular, it's probably my favorite.
