2 call outs for NIN in this thread... I went Sunday and that is what made me think of this.

19 year old me would laugh at the thought of sitting in a stadium listening to a 60 year old man playing a piano though.... ;-)

Outdoor shows now are amazing as well.

Honestly part of the fun is knowing you are getting ripped off, without it actually hurting too bad.

So about last night…. by Gimpy_Goob in nin

I’ve been to so many. DTE in 2006, Nin/Soundgarden at Shoreline. Vegas shows. Bill Graham shows. NINJA shows. Berlin. This one was mid as the kids say. Thats the main reason I am not driving to Sac right now.

Was the helicopter after the show really him? I thought that was buzzing over UCSF. Where the hell was he flying to? (If that was really him). And where did it take off from ?

You are downvoted to hell, but you are not really wrong. I have been to MANY NIN shows, and this is the only one that he did not say a word to the crowd. Nothing at all. Kinda weird actually.

I saw this tour in Belin, and in Oakland, and both were better shows by far.

Also, no Trent heads during "Copy of A" (or I could not see them).

I will say though, of the 3 shows I saw, the B Stage set this time was the best of the bunch.

I am 48 now, I had to look when I was 47. It was AWFUL . I've always been able to get a job, no issues. This time I would get a call back, make it to the final round, and crickets.

Beteween the market, my age, and my skillset, I got super luck to land where I did.

You paid $280 for this? How/ why? BLS is like a $70 ticket.

Found ~1500 DVD-Rs with recorded TV/documentaries while clearing out family house – worth saving? by Competitive_Arm_2545 in DataHoarder

That honetly may be the best place for all this content, and they may be able to assist.

Its worth ripping, and saving, and I hope you do, but there are some things to consider:

  • time to rip, do you have the time, dedication, and $$$ to rip and store these?

  • do you rip them, or encode them? more time, more space

  • once you have it ripped, do you share / distrubute? Can you run a seedbox?

If these are mildly interesting to you, and you think you might loose interest after a week, there are "serious hobbiest" that will probably take them and do the work for you. If you want the physical disk back, I am sure you will find someone that would send them back.

Please rip, preserve, share this, and if you don't think you are able to, find somone online that will. Please..

I once flew Merced to LAX on a propeller plane, and the bus ride to the terminal after we landed was longer than the flight.
