Notes
TIMP has taped NIN a lot in the past and he has come out of retirement to do a few shows for the nin live archive traveling rig that has been going around the country. I am really happy to have him doing this. I gave him my backup rig instead of the 717 for these shows, as he has previous experiences. The run in San Francisco may be my favorite tapes of the tour. Really good recordings and the setlists are well balanced. For the most part, the crowd is isolated from the recording and Trent's vocals are near perfect and crystal clear. The Great Destroyer from this night is an absolute assault on the ears. Enjoy the recording.

TIMP has taped NIN a lot in the past and he has come out of retirement to do a few shows for the nin live archive traveling rig that has been going around the country. I am really happy to have him doing this. Personally, this is a fine tape and one of my favorites I've heard from the tour thus far. I gave him my backup mics instead of the 717 because he has had experience in the past with taping. This set was all NIN pre 1998! What a setlist. I especially love the encore they did this show. They have only played A Warm Place, Eraser and Dead Souls a few times this tour.

I am really happy to have him doing this. I gave him my backup rig instead of the 717 for these shows, as he has previous experiences. The tapes for the Vegas run came out nice. This show is sadly incomplete because the recorder was put back into pause mode when moving into his pocket. So it misses a few tracks during the show. Otherwise, it's a good tape. Will say there is a guy next to TIMP all night who chimes in with some commentary from time to time. Which either you like, or don't. I personally find some of the comments hilarious. But the tracks are crystal clear and I love Big Come Down!

Taper's Notes, "Night 2! Due to an impending storm, the set times were changed shortly after doors opened. The first opener was cut completely and the Jesus and Mary Chain lost some set time. Had a better location than the night before and it seemed to be less windy, as well. I was very happy with the setlist. Funny enough, the guy next to me had said before the show that the only song he really was dying to hear was Dead Souls, but that he knew there was next to no chance it would be played."
Notes
Taper's Notes, "Great setlist - live debut of The Perfect Drug! I'm disappointed by this recording, but there was not much else I could have done to improve it. It was incredibly windy on night 1, and the wind pushed the sound around like crazy for most of the set. I had a much closer seat for night 2 - and the weather was calmer - which resulted in a much better tape."

Notes
I received samples of the raw recording and it sounds amazing. Looking forward to getting the full tape hopefully!
Notes
This was a wild show. Heavy rain was in the forecast and it came right about when NIN was going on. Thanks to the taper of this show, the tape itself is very good. I would give this a 5, but sadly, it is riddled with wind noise from the howling wind from the storm that was barreling through Houston. Can't control the weather of an outside festival. So, if you can get past that, you should be able to listen to this tape no problem. The set was cut short because of the storm and to be honest, I've always wanted to see The Background World end the concert. Just how it is on the EP. Listening to the tape, the performance was on fire and especially Reptile. There is a video on the archive's YouTube page of it. Should be getting the full performance soon on video! This is the last show of 2017. Next year NIN will be on tour and I hope that it will bring more tapes to the archive. Again, if you have any tapes that are not on the archive. You can always contact me and you can either upload them to the server, or send the tapes to me and I will properly transfer them! More coming. Soon.

Notes from the taper, "I ended up being right in front of the subs right next to a security guard, so the recording didn't turn out exactly as I had hoped. Some EQ was used to take out the extreme boomy lows."
Notes
Another fantastic recording by Mr. Ruin. He has also recorded 4 NIN shows in 2007 and 1 in 2009. Here are some of his notes on the recording, "I have not taped a show in a long while so with NIN back in Austria I felt some sort of obligation to whip out my trusted gear and set up shop again and tape one of my favorite bands on their "comeback" tour. It turned out well, even though I let the signal run too hot through TBOTE and part of March of the Pigs. A rookie mistake I guess :) Anyhow I did apply some amateur mastering, sue me if you don't approve. I like it better that way."
Notes
Another fantastic recording of the many NIN recordings Polewka has done. This is the first recording of his UK run of shows that he will do on this tour. Vocals and music are crystal clear.
Notes
One of my favorite recordings. This is a MUST for NIN fans.
Notes
If you look at the levels of this show they are over 0 db most of the time on the recording. The vocals are somewhat low on the recording.
Notes
A very good recording. CP tapes has done some of the best recordings in the UK for quite some time now. This one is fantastic.
Notes
Very good, maybe the signal ran a little hot at times and the source distorted very very slightly here and there. Once the rain started I had to cover my mics and thus the sound quality suffered a little.
Notes
From Dassarri's Notes: There are obnoxious people screaming the wrong lyrics and asking if it was going to be on youtube. But its not as evident on the recording as he thought. Its still a great recording.
Notes
This has been one of my most sought after recordings for the archive. Back in 2010, before ETS went down, someone posted in the live recording thread there about having a recording from this show. I was never able to get a copy of the recording and once the hard drive that contained ETS on it crapped out, all I had was a note in one of my notebooks about it being out there. I have searched high and low for it on the depths of the internet. BUT TODAY... CB POSTED IT ON DIME FOR ALL TO ENJOY! I am super pumped to add this to the archive. As it's been the most elusive tape that I've been trying to locate. I had written down that they also taped this show with DPA mics (hopefully that will come soon as well to archive), but today had released their AT mic source. Listening to the full show right now, it sounds ridiculous. Taped from the floor about "20 rows back" from the hanging stack. Quality is superb. Released in both 16 and 24 bit, you can download above. Thanks to CB for finally releasing the source. There are only a few other shows I really want to get from this tour (Chaonatic's video recordings) but this one was top of the list.
Notes
None.
Notes
Only recording from the Atlantic City show. Dassarri is very hard on himself saying that its not a good recording. He could not be anymore wrong. Its fantastic and I am glad that this very intimate and unpredictable setlist was taped.
Notes
Great recording, there are a few pops at the beginning of the show due to putting the mics in position for the show as well as during it to adjust them. But this is a great recording and nice to see Ghost 8 in its 2nd performance get captured in this quality.
Notes
None.
