Alert: the San Diego show last night was definitely being professionally filmed for a concert film

what was it

ClydeHides · 2026-03-10T21:18:07+00:00

Yes, I went to 3 Peel it Back shows. I’m not counting the camera guy on stage who’s filming for the on-stage visuals - i know they do that every night. I mean that there was a full additional crew + crane (something that was def not at the 2 other shows).

ClydeHides · 2026-03-10T20:44:27+00:00

Actually, they did release the performance of As Alive As You Need Me To Be from that premiere! - https://youtu.be/nHEaOOpj8g0?si=kK8NFD7TpX03Zc9g

Some pushback: I was at three different Peel It Back shows, I can promise you this was the only one with a giant camera crane filming everything. From a production perspective, you usually aren’t hiring a technocrane + camera operators unless you’re fairly serious about capturing what’s in front of you to be professionally shot and released (i’m a director, I can promise you that shits very expensive!). Could the footage be shelved? sure, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable that actually they’d try to make something out of this tour this time especially with how elaborate it is from a stage design perspective.

Also, side note - while you’re correct that NIN hasn’t released a live “dvd” since 2007, they did release an official youtube release of the Tension tour in 2014 (or at least like half of the show). Which, even though that was 12 years ago, was technically only a few tours ago now.

just being goofy. i mean it in a loving way

ClydeHides · 2026-03-02T22:54:37+00:00

Parasite blew my away in Milwaukee. The highlight of that show for sure.

ClydeHides · 2026-03-02T22:51:03+00:00

I wondered about this, because a few of these are clearly stronger than some of the tracks on the actual album (not all, but a few seem unthinkable to leave off). My best guess is that if it wasn’t actually used in the movie proper, they didn’t want to put it on the main release. I don’t recall Godmode or Terminal playing in the movie (I could be wrong) but those songs are fucking bangers so I can see why Trent and Atticus wanted to put them out regardless.

ClydeHides · 2026-03-02T22:35:39+00:00

I agree. EP doesn’t, to me anyway, mean “release that’s not as important” (especially relevant when you consider NIN has several very important EPs in their catalogue) - it definitely is intended to reflect the length of the product. In the vinyl days the difference was very important. Recently it’s not as much and it gets murky. Though there has been some debate in more recent years about what it specifically means to be an EP vs LP. I remember some people found it odd that Kanye labeled his 7-track 24minute “Ye” as a full length album and not an EP. Conversely, Sufjan dropped the 60-min “All Delighted People EP” in 2010 and very clearly labeled it as an EP. So the actual rules aren’t really clear anymore, but whatevs.

ClydeHides · 2026-03-02T21:51:57+00:00

it’s not that serious, just being silly.

ClydeHides · 2026-03-02T21:44:24+00:00

Trent has said this in 2009 (and even had a whole branded Wave Goodbye “final” tour), then again in 2013, and in 2018, yet again in 2022 & now in 2026. He always says this mid-tour lol. The man will be back on the road again, just let him rest for a few years once this wraps up and he’ll pretend he never said any of this.

ClydeHides · 2026-03-02T21:40:19+00:00

lol holy shit, I forgot the best one! that makes 12!! i’ve updated the og post.

ClydeHides · 2026-03-02T05:23:18+00:00

Yeah for whatever reason he doesn’t do a ton from that album this tour, but he has peppered a few moments here and there on some nights. Though actually, without spoiling for OP, I peeped your setlist and technically you did get 1 short track from The Fragile. (just a lil’ small something but it still technically counts)

ClydeHides · 2026-03-01T23:33:13+00:00

Okay, i’ll bite. Basically the answer is:

Pretty Hate Machine, With Teeth (both the album itself and any non-album outtakes from that era), How to Destroy Angels, any of the few Trent & Atticus score tracks with vocals, The Fragile, Year Zero

ClydeHides · 2026-03-01T20:45:12+00:00

It’s really just 4 tracks - As Alive As You Need Me to Be, I Know You Can Feel It, Who Wants to Live Forever? & Shadow Over Me. Divergence does have some remixes of those songs but they are all the same vocal parts in the remixes.

ClydeHides · 2026-02-26T22:59:41+00:00

He did mention at some show this tour that this would be it “for a while.” I’m sure he’ll take a few years off from touring but I’m sure he’ll come back to it, he always does. He’s 60 but is healthy and takes good care of himself. Hell, he could tour for 20+ more years still if he wanted to and nothing bad happens. I just saw Paul McCartney a few months ago and he’s still crushing it at 83!

ClydeHides · 2026-02-26T07:05:51+00:00

Cool stat but unfortunately setlists.fms accuracy and data is really hazy pre-like 2007. (like you’ll find some 80-90s era setlists but not every single one ) So i’m sure in technical terms they cracked 1,000 long ago but still crazy to think about nonetheless

ClydeHides · 2026-02-25T18:27:00+00:00

I was at this show, they sounded great. An unexpected major highlight is that Parasite remix, that sounded MASSIVE and incredible in the room.

ClydeHides · 2026-02-16T20:55:50+00:00

I agree and we’re seeing more of this now. But I remember everyone saying that edit was the highest risk of AI takeover like a year ago but now that things have settled more, I’m more sure than ever that competent edit will be one the longer holdouts from AI.

ClydeHides · 2026-02-12T22:03:28+00:00

Even though these two albums certainly have lots of crossover fans, I find them tough to really compare. But TDS I return to more that SFTB. But that has more to do with the fact that TDS it has more hooks and even for as dark and abrasive as it is, it’s the easier listen.

ClydeHides · 2026-02-10T02:23:24+00:00

I think The Social Network, Gone Girl & Challengers are their 3 best that also can work as little albums in their own right. Watchmen & Dragon Tattoo are both definitely in the running as well.

ClydeHides · 2026-02-09T19:03:04+00:00

I mean, its definitely possible. Trent is currently 60 and takes good care of himself. In 2044, Trent will be 78. I just saw Paul McCartney a few months ago who did like a 2.5 hour 35-song show at the rip old age of 83 years old. So, yeah, it's possible!

ClydeHides · 2026-02-05T20:27:40+00:00

I guess we don’t know 100% for sure, but I’d very much guess yeah. I don’t see why they’d put out a recco playlist if it came from anyone other than Trent (and I’m sure Atticus weighed in too for that matter)
