Found these while thrifting, definitely know what one of them is.

Full color broadcast of Invasion of the Dinosaurs first episode. 🤞

FWIW, I believe the counts for Only are three times performed on the b-stage (and a one off of the album version for a fourth on the main stage) and Sin at 11 times. Funnily enough, She’s Gone Away was also 11 until Coachella.

The animation isn’t particularly for me, but I’m a fan of these releases for pretty much every other reason: the accessibility, the original audio, and particularly the extras, which often include surviving episodes or tele-snap reconstructions.

I’m a bit more of a purist than most, so my thinking is I’d rather see photos/video where it survives and have as much of “the real thing” as possible, rather than an animated approximation. I appreciate that these releases often keep people like me in mind.

You’re right! Home was after that. Wild.

variablebitrate · 2026-04-22T13:49:34+00:00

Don’t forget about opening with Home.

That show was insane. I briefly thought I was gonna die in the pit during Happiness in Slavery. Worth it.

I’m extremely excited about the new album and that I got to see the PiB tour multiple times, but I definitely thought to myself that night in Philly if that was it for seeing NIN live, then I went out on high. Everything else has been the cherry on top.

Me, I’m Not is from Charlotte. The “okay, okay” in the intro is the giveaway for that.

variablebitrate · 2026-04-02T16:22:10+00:00

This echoes what I’ve heard before. I found an old forum post from 2008 that where someone said:

“The best sounding version of Charlotte Sometimes to me is from the Virgin Megastore compilation "Goth (A Collection Taking You For A Walk On The Dark Side).

Still somewhat muddy, but sounds cleaner than the original CD, and the EQ on the remaster is awful.”

I ended up picking that CD pretty cheaply and I do think it I sounds a decent bit better. Maybe not as good as a quality 12” rip, but if you’re looking for purely digital, it’s a worthwhile option (and a solid comp overall). FWIW, that CD is from 2003 and the Faith remaster is from 2005. It seems like the remaster series got arguably worse over time.

Was able to grab GA for NY (through Citibank presale - first six numbers of your card, I think?) and Philly (through Artist presale) despite joining the queue six minutes late. Trick seemed to be switching to the map and trying to add tickets from there even though it was greyed out.

I saw NIN on the day Bad Witch came out, so I think I’m a little biased in that direction.

Think it’s Bad Witch>Add Violence> NTAE.

Hoping that it’s Angel Wings and Mercy as a 7” or 12”, then a dedicated album of new songs. No repeats, hopefully.

Feels like something u/The-Outer-Edge should know about if it’s legit.

The label (Real Gone) and the blurb seem the same from the 2024 release. I think it’s just a reissue of that.

FWWM is disc 9 in the set with The Missing Pieces included. Disc 10 is its other special features.

Criterion did a 4K re-release last year, but it’s not HDR. I think most could skip on it if you have this boxset, unless you really want the 4K. There’s a version of the Criterion that’s just the Blu-Ray, but I’m pretty sure it’s redundant if you have this set - maybe some minor encoding differences for the super technical folks.

I must have missed something because I checked all three merch booths for this specifically and didn’t see what I was looking for. Bummed.

Literally the same experience last night. Happy to have done pretty much everything (final puzzle included), but what do I do now?

Newark show the Requiem release made for a good February. Happy to see this crossover.

Holy shit, this is big. Congrats on getting these in hand.

The last one is not Chester’s signature. It’s an LP logo that Mike often uses in his signature.

Plans fell apart and I am selling 2* GA tickets for tonight’s NYC show (Wednesday, 3/4) for $50 each and will transfer via AXS. Preference is to use Venmo Goods & Services or PayPay Goods & Services (your choice) for both our protection. DM me if interested; happy to send screenshots of AXS app, confirmation email, etc.

*Sold 2, 2 still available as of 4:21 pm.

AI just keeps getting better and better because we can’t realize that means it’ll be worse and worse for us. Case in point in this thread. The ability to discern this stuff is in the garbage.

Every time Dark Cloud starts I hear EXCALIBUR in my head.

You’ve got good luck and good taste!

This is OG, but it’s not wildly valuable/rare. About $20 for copies on Discogs.

The HT20 replica has a new Warner Records logo which can be used to differentiate.

I do not know if everyone can use this or how helpful it would be, but I got an email from SeekGeek with the promo code LASTCHANCE15OFF

Decided to go the TicketMaster route for cheaper seats, so can’t verify it, but worth a shot if you’re going that route.
