NOW THAT’S DEVOTION: NINE INCH NAILS UBER-FAN EDITS TOGETHER COMPLETE NYC THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL PERFORMANCE

Monday, October 26th, 2009 at 4:30pm by

Back in August, Gary “Lucky Motherfucker” Suarez got to see Nine Inch Nails perform their seminal release, The Downward Spiral, in its entirety as part of their “Wave Goodbye” tour. For those of us who weren’t lucky enough to be there, I attempted to compile video bootlegs of the entire performance. Turns out, I shouldn’t have wasted my time. Our friends at Metal Injection report:

One NIN fanatic searched far and wide and found 11 different people at the show who bootleged it (in HD nonetheless!), they edited it and now, presumably with Trent’s blessing, the entire show is online and downloadable for FREE. You can stream it above, download a torrent, iPod version or just a DVD burn. Click here to download it.

Even if Trent hasn’t approved of this yet, I have a hard time imagining that Mr. “Fuck the Record Labels, Steal My Album” would have a problem with it. But whatever the case, I’d like to applaud this awesome fan for all his hard work, which will now allow the rest of us to live vicariously though some means other than a critics’ description.

Here’s a video from the performance, now edited together:

    This rules. Only thing missing is the crying goths around me as NIN went into “Heresy” and everyone realized they’d be seeing all of TDS in order, and the bartenders dancing on the bar. Easily one of the best shows I’ve ever seen from anyone. Thanks!

    Downloaded. Pretty amazing show/quality especially for a bootleg dvd.

  • Coop

    Fuck yeah! There’s an ever bigger fan made DVD being made with dozens of camera angles in HD they’re making about the Lights in the Sky tour at This One Is On Us.

        Holy shit! A Metal Sucks commenter so wrapped up in disagreeing with anything written that they end up disagreeing with themselves.
