Nine Inch Nails in Irvine last night was unbelievable! When Will and I saw the performance in Oakland earlier this year we thought then that only a general admission show would do. All i can say is that this show made me change my mind. The outdoor arena was not as cramped and hot, so that was definitely a plus. But damn, the sound was perfect, and the stage setup has been evolving over the tour. Now instead of a screen in front of the band they have an array of LED lights. Usually they would project images onto the screen, but now they run light sequences so that images appear right on the array. It ends up looking like a huge low rez TV. With images being projected on the rear screen and on the front screen, the band plays in the middle usually obscured by fuckin chaos.

The set list was a tiny bit different than the last shows we've seen. Trent opened with Somewhat Damaged and then settled into a setlist we know and love. anyway, enough talk... pictures...

Does anyone know what that setlist was?

I pretty sure this is the right setlist. Same thing they've been playing on the end of the tour.

somewhat damaged

gave up 
non entity

wish 
the frail 
into the void
