Great quality.

It's a shame it took an incident like this to get some interesting backstage footage. Hopefully they'll make more of a habit of this, power outages or not.

Love that Trent treats his fans like guests that deserve a proper show.

You know, this would make a great segment on a DVD of this year's tour.

Just sayin'...

thank you Rob! I was wondering what was going on backstage during the whole power off thing.
could you please make it available for download?

beautiful

So you're not going to play for "one minute less" but then you don't play the 4 songs encore?

(Not that I blame you, everyone was hot/tired by that point, just sayin'...sucks to not hear Dead Souls since it looks like it might be your last Sydney show if not forever then for a while...)

awesomity.

yeah ~ awesome footage Rob! (I was in the crowd...)
beautiful focus too, love the handheld

Amazing, thanks!

Rob - thanks for sharing! I've highlighted your video on today's blog post bit.ly/jzvHo on planet5d.com - We've got more 5D reviews/still/video samples than anywhere else on the planet.

Love the 5DMKII, I own one myself... amazing camera, and the video feature is a nice addition to get the creative juices flowing.

Great video.

wow, this is so cool! i really wouldn't mind watching a lot more of this type of footage.. please continue filming!

The power goes out - The Sheridan kicks in. Way to go! Huge gratitude from far, far away: thank you for the transportation :)

I get the feeling that they thought the crowd would go crazy and riot. Completely the opposite. I think everyone was very cool about it.

The saddest thing is that after Head Like a Hole, the lights came straight on and we missed the encore (The Beginning of the End, Suck, Dead Souls and Hurt), most probably because of the curfew at Hordern.

It was a great show. Thanks for coming to see us in Sydney.

Wow, nice footage. Thanks for posting this. Hopefully there will be more!

why can't we download it?...

Great footage-great to know what was going on backstage when all of us in the crowd were coolly sweating it out just wanting more of the best. It was a great show-huge thanks to NIN for keeping on keeping on!

Rob you legend.

I got some footage of Trent talking through the megaphone, but youtube is a douche.

GREAT SHOW NONE THE LESS!

haha they were singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall!

Very awesome! sucks about the show but very awesome! makes me look foward the possibility of some amazing documentary footage...

That sucks the stupid power went out. At least you got to finish your performance!

I love how the video looks from that camera! Glad the crowd was patient. >

Awesome quality... Ugh what I would give to do a behind the scenes with NIN. I almsot love the workings and reality behind the music more than the concert! :]

Rob... love ya

Omfg ni!n@

Oh yeah, this is GREAT footage, apart from the awesome quality, it's also cool to see the whole 'behind the scenes' scenario. Plus it reminds me of how awesome the show in Auckland was last week...

Wow. Please tell me you guys are going to pull a Closure-ish thing. I sat here O_O watching like I actually had nothing else to do today.. Very nice video, thanks!

I was at the Brisbane show and it was great. The weather was so hot so good on ya Trent for getting up there under all those lights..Cheers

So glad this was posted. I was there in the second row (and can see myself...just). Have just arrived back home in Melbourne now, after the show tonight. God it was hot in the pit and I was seriously contemplating getting out after about 30mins of lights out - started feeling sick...not good. Luckily I held on and it started up again and revived me. The security was really good too, giving out lots of water.
Trent said that he thought the crowd was pissed off, but I don't think that is the case. We were all (or mostly all) hanging in there and it was a unique NIN experience. We all started amusing ourselves by singing Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, and the We Will Rock You, and then a few failing attempts (one of which you can hear in the clip - "99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer..."
Overall a very excellent show...wouldn't have missed it for the world. I've heard some people moan about no encore, but it was still a hell of a songlist and I am more than satisfied

So awesome to have footage like this, very documentary like.

Speaking of...we need another Closure style release!!

This happened back in 94-95 in pensacola FL on the self destruct tour with Prick and Jim Rose circus..
Only they didnt get it fixed,, the show was canceled,, Trent was pissed,, and kinda drunk when he told us the fuck heads couldnt fix the problem..

I thought they didn't have a play list...(at least back in the day) and played from feel.. that has changed?

Thanks so much for making it downloadable!

lovely video, how many shots did you took during the whole video?

Stellar quality and good for the guys for being able to salvage the situation successfully. Nice!

Wow! All I have to say is, "what a pro"!

It is difficult to become re-energized after some unexpected down time. NIN puts on another fantastic show!

I want there to be a whole live DVD of one-man footage like this. Puts you with the chaos happening on-stage instead of in the audience. Amazing job, dude.

what lens did you use?

funny how he's keeping his cool despite the bullshit

I do hope we the fans help him release a dvd of this. I know I will help by buying whatever comes with a NIN label :-)

uh... how do i log out of here?

i like it too.

iiiiiim sooo jealous!, i wouldve prolly went crazier after the power outage. lol

Look at Trent. So cool and charismatic. Can't believe he's married! *sob*

It was an awesome, unique experience. Thank goodness it wasn't my first time seeing NIN, though. That might have made me sad.

heh heh this happened on my birthday..
