You don’t get many people going to Nine Inch Nails gigs that are ‘kind of in to them’, or that have picked up a spare ticket from a mate at the last minute so pop along just to see what all the fuss is about. In many people’s eyes (including my own) Trent doesn’t put a foot wrong, not just when producing and performing but also in taking a stance against the traditional music industry and its inflexible distribution model.

Your gift…
The internet is full of surprises these days.
I was contacted by a mysterious, shadowy group of subversives who
SOMEHOW managed to film a substantial amount (over 400 GB!) of raw,
unedited HD footage from three separate complete shows of our Lights
in the Sky tour. Security must have been lacking at these shows
because the quality of the footage is excellent.
If any of you could find a LINK to that footage I’ll bet some
enterprising fans could assemble something pretty cool.
Oh yeah, you didn’t hear this from me.

Oh Mr. Reznor, how we adore you. There is about 405gb of HD footage available. It was recorded with multiple consumer HDV cameras during three shows: Victoria 12.05.08, Portland 12.07.08, and Sacramento 12.12.08. This is raw, unedited, un-color-corrected HD footage.
The race is on — and some have already started. The musical and marketing genious has truly created a cult(ure) that thrives off a passion for music, talent and the facination of the unknown.
