I had a ticket going for free and I couldn't give it away. Mad stuff for a full gig like that

Another half hour of Reptile on repeat.

They did about 90min, but I don't think anyone would have complained if they went a bit longer. The mini stage intervals felt like breathers, and they still barely scratched the fragile, nevermind with teeth or year zero, which I still rate. Always leave em wanting more, I guess

It seemed alot busier then pantera, as an example. Maybe that's just me. Was way better value, with all the visuals etc

I was worried about 3 minutes into the gig  ;D

First time seeing NIN live,they were brilliant,great sound and the visuals were spectacular.
Very enjoyable gig and plenty of downward stuff.
The two stages were cool too.

Likewise.Thought it was going to be some unplugged style performance.

Yeah great gig, everyone liking at thrcstage and Trentham pops up on the piano beside us in the middle of the floor. Last half hour was unreal, 20 songs not too shabby

Amazing gig, didn't expect it to be so heavy on Spiral. Hadn't seen them before and I don't go to a lot of big gigs like that but the visuals and presentation was fantastic.

In true Grimes fashion, my daughter complained to me after that they didn't play enough of the early stuff  :laugh: (she's a big fan of PHM)

Stonking set with a How To Destroy Angels cover, happy with that  ;D

That stage show is as good as you are ever likely to see- absolutely unreal. Wouldn't be my cup of tea musically but a great experience and would definitely go see them again on the strength of the visuals  :-*

Boyz Noise - yeah...no  ::) The songs weren't actually that bad, just got nothing from listening to what sounded like a spotify setlist playing throughout the 3Arena but as I said, bit of a cop out for a proper support + I'd take a longer NIN set any day.

First 5 minutes I was thinking oh shit Trent has brought Atticus Ross along for a contrived, Billy Corgan type pretentious 2 hours of unplugged nonsense - but thankfully after that medley we got into the proper stuff and yes - all good after that - as everyone is saying amazing visuals, some of the best at a gig I've seen, decent setlist (and I'd agree some Pretty Hate Machine would have worked well with the setup they had like Sin/Terrible Lie).

One of the better "big" gigs. Definitely would have enjoyed another 20-30 minutes, think most people were expecting an encore  :laugh:

So overwhelmingly positive reports all round? Annoyed with myself that I passed up an opportunity to see this, especially given that last minute tickets were on offer here. Was working yesterday afternoon, didn't finish until 7pm, absolutely knackered and the prospect of a train into town didn't fill me with enthusiasm!

I'd have liked some more Pretty Hate Machine stuff but can't really complain.20 tracks and one of the best stage set ups I've ever seen.It was definitely worth the wait to see them.

Savage stuff.  Setup was class, setlist was great, performance was unreal, high energy, crowd was good form where I was.  I enjoyed Boys Noize too and loved the little stage B setup where they did the three songs with him.  No complaints at all, excellent gig.  Was up nice and close until around Mr Self Destruct, we went back out of the way then.  Thought the set was a good length and a great variety of material in there.
