NIN w. Mike Garson - Just Like You Imagined - Wiltern Theater, 9.10.09 *Final NIN Concert*

September 10th, 2009. The Wiltern Theater, Los Angeles California. History will remember this as the 830th live performance of Trent Reznor's genius Nine Inch Nails.

Their 830th and, incidentally, final live performance. Although Trent Reznor has vowed to continue making music, whether it be in the vessel of Nine Inch Nails or something completely untried, he has stated time and again that he is done with the live aspect of Nails.

This, the Wiltern performance, was not to be their last but second to last. Because Trent took ill he had to rescedule two of the LA shows, making the Wiltern Theater the last venue Nine Inch Nails would ever play.

So by some stroke of luck/fate/something, I found myself on a plane bound for LA (for the second time in a week) to take witness to this, the most anticipated, and yet dreaded, final NIN performance.

The show was, predictably, the most amazing show I've ever seen. According to antiquit.com, "Reznor and company played thirty-eight songs, in four sets spanning over 3 hours, the longest show the band has ever played." Guests included Gary Numan, Mike Garson, Dillinger Escape Plan, Atticus Ross and Dave Navarro.

This show was the epitome of epic, as you'll be witness to from these videos.

And who knows, maybe it won't be the end at all...

Very bittersweet show. Wish I could have been there. Interesting to see Trent hanging onto Justin there at the end. From what I heard, it was a hard night for him - some serious medical issues with his mom. Hope everything works out. :-(

One of the most unbelievable experiences of my life

Trent is a modern day composer, dynamic movement with sound. This is one of my favorites, great to see it from the Wiltern with the guest piano, thanks!
