I'm very proud of the show we've put together for this tour and have been working hard the last few months to find a way to capture it. I had an amazing situation lined up that would have allowed me to film the show in 3D with James Cameron's team for a theatrical release as well as DVD / BluRay, etc. We had an extra date added to the tour that we were going to give away all the tickets for and have a filming party / thank you show.
I made two critical mistakes. One was to approach a certain record company that owns some of the song rights about producing / funding. The second was to allow said company to fuck around as usual for months before saying um... no. We then achieved the impossible by finding alternate production / funding but the timetable is too rushed to get it filmed comfortably with the remaining time left on the tour. This tour and a lot of the personnel involved finish at the end of this leg, so we can't push filming into Jan / Feb.
Deep breath... This was an amazing tour and production - certainly the best thing I've ever been involved with and likely the final tour for NIN on this scale. Thank you to those who came out to see it and forgive me for having a Kanye West moment, but this was FOR SURE the best show of the year and any bullshit end-of-the-year poll you may read in the next few weeks that says otherwise simply has it wrong. Those of you who saw it know I'm right.
The shows we have announced in 2009 and any more that may be announced will be a completely different approach with some different personnel and will likely be the last for the foreseeable future."
From Trent Reznor at NIN.com
Very saddened by this, I doubt it'll be the end of all NIN, but more of just a slow down from the otherwise fast paced output that he's been doing. I mean, 2 albums in one year (One HUGE instrumental production and one typical NIN record) as well a very lengthy and well produced show.
Yup, I've seem many a great show this year, but NIN was hands down the best of the entire year.
Oh well, I loved the Lights In The Sky tour, but the setlists didn't change much, and I would like to see Trent rest up and present us with a less gimmicky show.
That sucks that I missed that! I saw a review of all the tech involved with the show and it was mindblowing. Everything was controlled by Trent. Not like other shows where its all pre-determined and the band just pantomimes along.
have you guys seen the hd videos from the tour yet? I just found a nice cluster of them on youtube, i'd forgotten just how wild the lighting really was! www.youtube.com/profile?user=DerDantey&view=videos make sure you choose "watch in hd"

Like everyone else has said, it doesnt mean its done for good but that hes gonna start doing things differently than the large scale light show production that he did with this tour.
