La Mer, Adrift, At Peace

[WhimsicalAphorist]

trent the werewolf!

[bcolby89]

I would be so pissed at all the douchebags talking during this

[MrEspaillat]

maybe if he plays mr.self destruct things will get better

[fireoceanqc]

its so fucking sad...

that theres nobody paying attention of the musicians and Trent...

[ronaldopklein]

The crowd shoud shut up and let them play in peace! GGrrr... humans...

[ffreakyflakita]

i´m engaged. and this video cannot get off my mind.... i want this on my wedding!

[wampus2319]

dude when was your video camera built 1950? picture looks like dogshit!!

[boobsteak]

Unfortunately, I was very very far away, so I had to zoom in quite a bit. Hence the low quality of the video.

[thecollector669]

so

Beautifull :')

[vigintiduo]

I love this arrangement.

[bigsexymike84]

Does Trent have a beard?

[jw8945]

Yeah, and it kicks ass

[kutcharaninfan]

@bigsexymike84 no that beard has a trent

[kaoritsukino]

It's odd, but the murmer seems to add to the song in a parodoxical way. Of course, I would rather a respectful audience, but you can't expect much from people who are disinterested in what's being presented. I do, however, believe that it is usually a social convention to be respectful and appreciateive of the artists presenting their work for a cause such as this, and the constant movement and talking is very annoying to me. I wonder why there was not a certain addressing of that issue.

[JFizoust]

wow, nicely put kaoritsukino, suprised nobody else replied after 3 months.

but yeah, i don't guess you can expect everyone to appreciate whats going on, looks like their just there for moral support of whoever they know that is playing

[kaoritsukino]

Thanks. I've been listening to it more and more, and I find myself really liking the murmur more and more (aside from the irritating girly-screams/screeches that are sharp and attention-getting).

It seems that the murmur works almost as pink noise and doesn't really take attention away from the actual performance (until you get words that are audible or noises that are sudden and louder than the rest... Like screeching. >_>)

[jrg5683]

I find that strange as well. If you ever go to the Hollywood Bowl and your walking in half way through a song your not allowed to walk to your seat until the song or piece is over. I feel this is the way it should be not just for the musician but for the audience as well.

[melodiouscanopies]

beautiful song. looks like he's passing on the torch to the next generation. they are soooo lucky!

[kaoritsukino]

... Wow... I have nothing to say, but.. wow. That is just a beautiful arrangement. *is awed * Words have no way to express how awed I am by the delicacy and peace in this song.

[boobsteak]

If only the people that want to see the specific artist on stage at that time could go up close and watch... it'd make more sense.

But instead, people who can afford expensive tickets get arena seats (probably older people, there to see Neil Young & Brian Wilson and don't care for Trent Reznor)

and the young & poor get lawn tickets and have to admire their favorite musicians from afar, meanwhile the arena seats are empty or people are walking, talking, being disruptive during Trent's set.

[PJRock75]

i moved down to about the 12 row both nights when TR performed ;)

[enigmaremains]

It is seriously rude, them getting up and chatting constantly. It's not like a rock show, in this kind of setting you expect a bit of politeness.

[CharlieLeek]

he should record and release versions like this

[randyds5]

Nine inch nails "still" is an unplugged album...sorta. check it out

[CharlieLeek]

yes i know. i have the physical release. What i'm saying is that he should release string quartet versions...

[EverDownward]

I fully agree, it would be wonderful to hear this performed in cello, viola, and the rest of the strings family on a crisp, clear album.

[plastikamerikan]

Trent would never walk out on people talking in this venue because a) it is a concert for charity and b) think of what a let down it would be to be one of the kids playing with him only to see him leave. He knows he has to be a role model here and isn't onstage as Trent Reznor of NIN. Crowds restlessness is a non-issue.

[NJay783]

Bring back danny yes. But, R. Finck.  No.

[mudvayne6101]

Why not Robin? What's so bad about bringing him back?

[xpositivityx]

what is wrong with you guys. should the audience be giving golf claps at the end too? this is supposed to be rock and roll. Tame audiences are for debussy. he is used to fans throwing used tampons on stage i'm sure a little chatter isnt going to make him crap his pants.

[newenglandpats11]

wtf the ppl arent even quiet what bitches

[Tunink1986]

i agree with kao, he needs to ditch the current line up and go back to the classic NIN line up of robin, danny, etc etc they had a better feel and imo trent wrote better music while playing with them

[metroidcrusher]

The "better music" you're talking about was written when he was in dark stages of his life. It didn't matter who he was with that time, but what was going on with his life. So you'd rather him go back to the dark part of his life?

[loyalqueen]

i think its good, a break for trent hes always performing such serious shows with devoted fans, maybe if he played at a show where nobody gave a shit that he was on stage and what he was palying maybe he wud appreciate us more hehehehe

[kaorumikeko]

Trent should bring back the Fragility guys, and do a Still tour!

[sonata1992]

It's actually rather interesting the effect the audience gives the music...

[Depechexb]

Speaking while songs like La Mer is being played, is just fucking stupid.. Why spoil beautiful songs like that !?

[THeEraSerr]

why was everyone moving around and talking like that? you can kind of feel Trent's frustration considering how he's reacted to many occurences like that happening before

[chrisbranscom]

wow if i was trent i think i would of walked off with the ENTIRE audience talking thats just a little direspectful. I mean yea its a fundraiser but still how can direspect someone like trent reznor like that plus anyone who was actually trying to enjoy the show.

[brainsout123]

Trent and the performers deserved a lot more respect than they were given.

Still*, it was amazing.

*=:)

[musicfan99999]

beautiful! just goes to confirm my idea that trent reznor should be making more quiet music instead of the typical NIN dark gloomy loud sounds.

[TonySt]

trent is one of the last artists in the music industry.

[0323252]

why are there like 50 ppl on stage?

[25whores]

Well, there's Trent, the back-up string players, and the kids from the Bridge School.

[Elesaar27]

GOD. it gave me chills.

[Rupenpatell]

a beautiful piece of music, adrift and at peace particularly is a fantastic, beautiful and atmospheric song which sounds amazing with trents ochestrial friends. I only wish i was there at the gig, the atmosphere must have been just amazing. thank you for uploading.

[BrandonScullion]

ADRIFT AND AT PEACE!!!! awesome

[Shramir]

this is beautiful...

[avelione]

why people at the audience talk so much?? :/

[narcissasnow]

This is almost heartbreakingly sweet. The song is lovely, Trent has a beautiful soul...and the images of the children listening...what can I say?

[ximenina]

WOW, La mer and Adrift and at Peace... I love when NIN (Trent REznor) play with his piano and cellos..  it is something beatiful, I hope one day Trent plays "LEaving Hope".. I love that song =)

P.D. Yes Trent needs to shave ( he looks like an ex- convicted, hahahah lol.. just a joke :P) nahhh , does'nt matter his beard, he is an excellent musician

[thenerocomplex]

ahh... la mer and adrift and at peace. perfexion. and mr reznor does not need to shave. I think he looks fucking SEXY. Amazing performance. Wish I could have been there. NIN always needed to do some kind of unplugged thing.

[girlhitsbus]

I love watching Trent play piano, he looks really focused yet still graceful. I guess that's how the pro's play :)

[Tunlux]

Wow.Trent Reznor is so devoted.His making so good music.

[AthenaMarZ]

Mr Reznor doesn't need to do anything. He is a gorgeous human being no matter what.

This is awesome stuff. Wish I could get a professional recording of the whole thing.

[TonySt]

on like november 17th or something like that, there'll be a pro version up on itunes. check out ets or tnh for more info.

[AthenaMarZ]

Sweet. Thanks for the info! I'll be sure to look out for that.

[mr5elfde5truct]

He looks like Kurt Warner in this.

[parabol]

that was fucking kickass, but mr. reznor needs to shave.
