BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: On Stage with NIN

On Stage with NIN


Perhaps this has become, unbeknownst to me, common practice for rock bands, but I found these videos on the Nine Inch Nails channel of Vimeo, fairly amazing. They're taken with a mini-cam from right on stage during live performances, by a camera man who has full access. He's right there on stage, looking out over the audience, at arm's length from Trent as he bangs away on a computer or keyboard, walking up behind the guitarist, all but leaning over the drummer's shoulder, etc. The fact that the images and sound are DVD quality gives it an amazing, "you are there" sort of feeling, which is what I liked. I never watch concert videos, since it bores me just watching them march around on stage. These are fascinating since it's what the band sees, and the different perspective is novel. If I ever had dreams about being in a rock band, they would probably look a lot like this.

I watched all 14 of the videos, and I don't even like going to concerts. I do, however, like NIN's music, which certainly helped me get through the experience. If the videos were for like, Coldplay or some other wimpy band, I'd still have watched a few, but with the sound muted. One is embedded below, though I doubt the image quality will be as good as it is viewing them directly from the Vimeo channel. Which I suggest you click through to.
