Trent Reznor Has A Gift For You
Around Xmas Trent Reznor updated the official Nine Inch Nails website and mentioned that he might have “a small holiday gift” for fans soon … he then updated the site this week with a message alerting fans that he hadn’t forgotten about his promise and that the gift would be revealed soon. TR just updated NIN.com with news of his gift to the world:
1.7.09: 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.
The link points to THIS thread in the NIN.com forums that explains in more detail what footage is available. The post suggests that “Novice users might not want to download this just yet” which means that I will not be downloading this 400Gb of raw footage at all. I suspect the more technically inclined NIN fans out there will work their magic and offer up a final product (or products) soon. This is pretty freakin’ amazing … because TR wasn’t allowed by his former record company to release a proper DVD of the Lights in the Sky Tour (which was supposed to be filmed in 3D!!!), this seems like a nice Plan B. I can’t wait to see what will come of this gift to fans.

[...] In fact, I love the band. Trent Reznor and the rest of the NIN gang have released (via BitTorrent) live HD video footage from several of their concerts for free. However, be warned: if you download the package it will take up about 405 gigs on your computer. [...]

Oh, but you have to be just a little bit tempted… just for a taste of (to me at least) the live-music highlight of the last decade or so.
But I have no doubt that fans with sufficient knowledge in the area will have some good edits out very soon!
