    I am gonna cry. Wow. Thank you so much for playing this. This will be the second time I see you guys (hopefully, as I'm in Cleveland), and to know that that's on the setlist. To actually have the chance of hearing it. Wow. This was an absolutely beautiful performance. I loved the slight improv (I think?) of the melody, and it just sounded... I don't know. Right. To hear it at this time and age of your journey, the song, despite its lyrics, is so fitting. I don't know why. I was watching this, and I just closed my eyes and literally basked in the song; I was in euphoria. Wonderful, wonderful job guys. I love it. <3 Must have an audio rip. :3

    Wow, this makes me SO sad that I missed the Oakland, CA show. I will DEFINITELY be going to see you guys in your May tour with Jane's Addiction.

  • Kaori Tsukino 2 years ago
    I have got to note. It just really gets to me with this performance. Trent, I really. Really. Love your voice. I don't know how to express it. The emotion and the tone. I mean, I always was attracted to it, but it really hit me around this era. I really like how it sounds, and I think it compliments this song very elegantly. It's hard to describe. But I hope you understand (if you even read these... >->). Once again, wonderful job. I cannot wait to see you guys.
    <3

    I still don't understand why he says thank you after every song when he rips his heart out and leaves it on the stage for us and we just sit there baffled and watch. Trent THANK YOU <3

    absolutely amazing. too bad Nails aren't coming to Texas :( but i might see them in japan! too bad i wont catch JA.

    i can give a fuck less about streetsweeper, but i've always regretted skipping their opening bands and finding out only later how much of a mistake it was..

    These vids are really something special. It's a whole different feeling you get from this cameras perspective, It's like being a part of the band and what fan wouldn't love that. More intimate (at least with this vid, and you feel more of the energy being so close.

    My fucking god lusting after that camera almost physically HURTS. I'm just glad the sound quality is good, too, seen way too many live performance videos (shot on-stage) that just have the camera's built-in audio recording, which normally sounds like ass and sounds like totally overwhelmed and drowned-out-by-a-thunderstorm-ass when recording 10 foot tall stacks of speakers.

  • Tracy Pfotenhauer 2 years ago
    Thank you Rob! I'm loving this new dynamic and different perspective you're allowing us to be a part of!
    Trent, as always, thanks for everything you give us! You definitely over-extend yourself to your fans continuing to be "cutting edge", and always always miles in front of any other artist!!!
    Cheers, Tracy

  • An amazing performance. Gets right to the heart, rips it out and heals it all in one shot. It's no wonder we are all attracted to the work of Trent Reznor. He surrounds himself with the best. Amazing is an understatement. There are no words in the English language to express my feelings when watching NIN perform. I am left speechless. All I can say is Thank you. Thank you Rob for the wonderful way you present the awesomeness of NIN.

    this collection is making history. want to comment on a funny tweet some time ago, on 'bitching' after watching music videos: it clearly wasn't bitching but the fuse sizzling prior to detonating into this stream of goodies leaving the industry to rot in its own oblivion. don't they ever get tired of that?! :]
