Recordings
Notes
As the taper name states, probably won't see this one. But we can only hope. As this sample comes from near the end of the set. We can be somewhat sure that the recording is complete. Maybe one day. For now, listen to the sample over on Soundcloud.
Notes
NIN packed 45 minutes of just a nasty performance for the VetsAid concert put on by Joe Walsh. The start of Wish with the house lights on and the stage full of fog is absolutely epic. As TR stated, this will be the last performance of 'The Cold And Black And Infinite' era. I assume losing the raw aesthetics that we've seen on stage since 2017 and maybe one member is taking time away from touring? Not sure. Either way, NIN blew the roof off with this set. Really enjoyed all the performances from the evening. Thanks to anonymous for the feed, it was quickly worked on and matrixed together! I heard that the livestream audio had some echo in it throughout the night. So hopefully this makes up for it! Note this was uploaded to DIME but was banned because of the stream still being available for purchase. This is not the stream. All audience sourced. There was also a few changes to this audio recording and is the definitive source. I made a few errors that you may or may not notice in the initial seed.

Notes
I've been working on mixing this one for the last two years as well.. Just like Franklin. There were multiple times that I would been on a roll and then Audition would crash and I would have forgotten to save the file. So, the motivation to finish it would be gone. I'd forget about it and then come back to it... It's finally finished! As my audience tape came out brick walled to hell, I used Zee's recording. We stood next to each other and it represents how unreal the sound was at this Festival, and always is. I am very impressed how they get it so crisp. There are 3 IEM feeds used in this matrix. Some fluctuations during the first two songs but is flawless afterwards. As to some feedback from the last mix, I have toned down Trent's vocals to not be so prominent in the mix. This one was a bit difficult to sync together as even though stretching each recording to sync. They would still drift during the show. So I had to re-sync every 2 minutes or so. Plus removing all of the click tracks, it was a very tedious editing/mixing. But I am happy with the work involved to make this a very flawless capture of the Riot Fest set.
Notes
Looking back at these two shows in Philly. They may have been my favorite shows of the tour. Very small venue and the sound was great in the venue from the floor. I taped the audience recording from about 15 feet in front of the soundboard on the floor. House lights still on and the band walks through the fog and starts to play Wish. It was a pre-2008 setlist with no encore. They played straight through. I received the feed in my inbox a few months ago. I have been slowly working on matrixing the sources together. I did not know that they recorded. I believe the two recordings complement one another. The small amount of reverb is added to help with the harshness of the feed. I am really happy with how this turned out and it sounds fantastic. There are a few more to come.

I edited this fileset slightly. You probably won't notice the very small difference on a few songs. But my OCD needed to fix a few things. Looking back at these two shows in Philly.

I taped the audience recording from about 15 feet in front of the soundboard on the floor. House lights still on with Trent playing the saxophone on 'Subterraneans' at the back of the stage.

Notes
I've been working on this off/on for almost 2 years now. A few times the project files did not sync to my Google Drive, losing everything. So starting over each time just seemed like a chore. But I finally found the motivation to really knock it out. I am usually not one to talk up recordings, but this is the best recording/representation of the NIN 2022 tour. I have meticulously mixed all of the sources for this one and went through removing each click from the feeds individually to give a clean version of each song. This run of shows (Raleigh, Atlanta, Franklin) was very special for me, personally. Not only was it post COVID lockdown to see my favorite band's first shows since 2018/pandemic. But I was also able to spend some time with my brother and good friends, Mark from lplive and TJ of ratm.live. As for many, the two years prior were pretty tough not seeing shows and not being able to converse with others in person about our favorite hobby, taping! Met a lot of people throughout the 3 days and it was great to talk with everyone about Nine Inch Nails and the archive. It took awhile to get out of the parking lot here in Franklin after the show, so it was cool to sit with everyone after the show and transfer the tapes to our laptops! Not to get too sentimental... let's talk about the show! First off, the venue was pretty amazing. Sitting down in an old rock quarry. A very cool venue! I would definitely go back to see a show there. The sound was great from where we sat, about 7 rows back from the left section in line with the stack. The bass was pretty overpowering throughout the shows and felt the A10 wasn't handling it well at the prior two. So I used my M10 for this show, which helped. I don't know if it was a noise ordinance or what, but up until Burn the PA system was dialed down. It was only during this song did they turn up the PA and being at the show there was a noticeable difference from then on. Atlanta saw the return of 'Heresy' in to the set and I was happy to see it at the Franklin show too! Highlight of the night was seeing 'The Line Begins To Blur' performed for the first time since 2009. Trent stopped to talk a few times throughout the show and I think even he was happy to be back on stage and out of the studio cave. I am really happy how this recording came out. It is definitely the best tape of the tour and represents it well. I would say it rivals any soundboard release. But I also could be biased. Thank you to ToolDVN and anonymous for sending over their IEM feeds after the show to work on. Let's hope that 2024 may see NIN back on stage, but I am not expecting it. Enjoy!
Notes
First show for NIN since 2018. It was absolutely incredible. They melted the place. Trent was very appreciative of every one coming out and the performance showed. The first time 'Everyday Is Exactly The Same' since 2006. I taped in front of the left stack. I was recording on level 2 on the A10 to start the show during Somewhat Damaged and my levels clipped and I immediately turned the volume down a few clicks. Only to realize I went to zero for about 3 seconds. I received the feed in my inbox over a month ago. I have been slowly working on matrixing the sources together. I did not know that they recorded. It was a treat to see from the first show of the tour when it came to my inbox! The audience tape is more apparent, as the feed is there to supplement. The feed ran a bit hot. But adding some reverb and compression helped to reduce the harshness. There are a few more to come.
Notes
There are longer notes in the txt file of the recording. Two sources mixed together from myself and an anonymous source. This has been an unbelievable tour and so many damn good tapes have come from it. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the archive and sharing tapes. Especially those who were involved in the ninlive archive taping rig project. It was such a wonderful treat to get recordings from everyone and read the journal entries. Those should be up on the site very soon once I get it back and scan it. I hope to be able to bring some more recordings from the tour onto the site, as well as unearth some older recordings. Until the next tour... See you then.
Notes
This was edited by BLG and here is his notes on the mix he did of 3 sources from the show, "I swore I was no longer going to do projects like this, but this show definitely deserved it. I can't tell you how tedious and annoying it was to remove the click track from the IEM source, but in the end it was worth it. Both AUDs complemented each other nicely and I was able to remove some crowd noise from both sources. The pre-amp battery in the AT933 source failed and it is missing the last 3 songs of the main set. Thanks to all the tapers. This was a great show to end what I consider to be an epic 6 night stand at the Palladium."
Notes
Both of these recordings were given to me after the show. I mucked up my audience tape, so that was a no go. Declicking these things can be a chore and I am finally finishing doing so (August lol). The sound is really good on this one and did my best to remove the click track. I have matrixed these two recordings together and I feel like the audience recording supplements the IEM feed nicely. Out of the two LA shows I saw, this one was my favorite. Somewhat Damaged > Mr. Self Destruct was NASTY!!!! Wasn't expecting that at all. Also Mike Garson coming on stage to play Just Like You Imagined! It was my first time hearing that live. I jammed out to that track. I was about the only one around me that was losing their shit when I heard the opening tones, lol.

Given to me after the show, I was hoping to matrix this with another audience recording from the night. I mucked up my audience tape, so that was a no go.

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. A great recording done by TIMP that has been supplemented by the feed done by Distortion. I am finally getting around to working on this and have matrixed both sources together. All songs on this setlist were pre 1995, which is absolutely wicked. Thanks again to all the tapers on the Cold and Black and Infinite Tour. I hope we will see some shows in the future.

Notes
Distortion sent me over the raw files from his feed pull. The feed is good but has a click track throughout most of the recording. I have really held off on releasing this version because I have wanted to go through and eliminate most of the countdowns and click track throughout and matrix with the audience recording from this show. It's just a big task because that is thousands of clicks throughout the recording. It's simply too tedious. If you want to take a stab at it, I will send it over. But for the time being, I am just happy to release this. It's definitely a tech feed as you will hear in Reptile, Trent asking to turn the TV monitors off in the lobby as they are distracting.
Notes
It was worth the wait for these. I've known about this run of shows for awhile and the sound quality on these are ridiculous. There isn't much I need to say about these tapes from NOLA. They are the best of the tour. If you download anything from this tour, it's these 3 shows by ToolDVN.

I was hoping that GSP recorded these shows and I finally have confirmation. Multiple feeds from the night, there is a click track throughout. As I was not able to attend my hometown shows, I was gutted to see only one source out there until this one! Glad it is out there.
Notes
Kip matrixed my audience recording with their IEM source. It would be hard to say that this isn't the best sounding tape of the tour thus far.
