Recordings
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
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.
