what kind of camera is that i need one, no sound distortion or anything, thats really cool

[ilekurwa]

its really good live, but the security guard drew my attention - really, look at him, banging his head, almost like he would like to say "good sh#t, man" ^^

Are Jane's Addiction bigger than NIN in the States? JA headlining over NIN would be unheared of in the UK.

[scarred2112]

@redhorserainbow I wouldn't think so - the tour was billed as "co-headlining" and both NIN & JA got the same amount of stage time. I suppose it was as simple as "someone has to play first?" Also, original lineup JA hadn't toured at this scare in quite a few years whereas NIN had been doing so consistently since 2005 so their fans, while smaller, had been waiting longer. But having seen several of the shows on the NIN|JA tour, I can say about 1/3rd of the crowd left between NINs and JA...

[nedak]

looks like the security guard is diggin it.

Ya this is cool without Bowie,HoweverI I detect some keyboards (faintly)sounding reminisent of Bowies recordings with Eno.I know it is not Eno but it is his signature.

[ScrdlyGreg]

haha...this is probably the first time i have ever seen a security team guard (right in front of trent) at any concert clearly enjoying the music he is listening to....he is bobbing his head throughout the performance...nice :)

[trentik]

@ScrdlyGreg I want his job:-)

[elduce77]

FUCKING AMAZING SOUND...THIS BAND IS PURE QUALITY

[donotfret]

It's missing the frantic piano that BOWIE'S version had but it's ok

[nbydummy]

[tigerpiggypoo]

I need to build a time machine :o

[blinditachil7]

You had no problem taking the camera in or recording?

[khaose123]

@blinditachil7 For the NIN/JA tour they encouraged you to take pictures and video it was pretty sweet.

[soliduszero]

Robin finck hell of a guitar player, he stands out alot more then aaron, to bad you didn't ask for him to smash something, he'da done it,

hey could you smash that keyboard behind you with your guitar?

(robin looks behind him)

(looks back and smiles) starts to beats the shit out of the keyboard! lol

[tomcrews13]

Holy shit....

[WatersUnderground]

you can tell how the security guard mid-front is wishin he was in that crowd.

[TheHappylifeTheatre]

pretty damn good vid and audio quality being that close to the amps

[Jabsta]

Great job! Nice camera, probably the best fan footage from the NIN/JA tour yet

[synthetikz]

thanks for the compliment. let's hope someone compiles the footage into a fan-made project like they did with TOIOU.

[soliduszero]

lol bet you where tempted to run on stage huh? being that close you had to have been thinking trent's 6 feet from me awesome! (tackles him) haha XD! awesome footage and it's really close, now thats cool,
