Notes
First date of 2025 US Tour. Setup was DJ set in back, ministage at the center of the floor, mainstage at the front. Boys Noize opened at the DJ stage, then there was an immediate transition to Trent on the b-stage with a solo piano version of 'Right Where It Belongs' then was joined by the band, one-by-one. At the end of Piggy, the spotlight was on Josh at the main stage while everyone else made there way there. During the initial set, the fog machines dumped some water on Trent, which he said was a first. Have I mentioned that I generally hate arena shows? Since the transition from Boys Noize to NIN was quick, most people were out buying merch, drinks, hot dogs, whatever. So during the first few songs, which were quiet, people made their way back with stacks of food and two fisted drinks. The first 15 minutes were a little rough, and I had to do some extra clean-up on them. At one point, a fight almost broke out between people who couldn't figure out they were in the wrong section, in someone else's seats. Later, there was a couple that had a meltdown during a song, and she stormed away, telling the guy to stay. Other than all of that, it was a fantastic show, loved the staging and lighting.
