Nine Inch Nails is the Gift That Keeps on Giving
posted by Richard Gill
2008 was a good year to be a Nine Inch Nails fan. Robin Finck returned to the band after spending several years as one of the many Guns N’ Roses guitarists, the band released two albums, Ghosts and The Slip for free and embarked on a tour that can only be described as the greatest live show experience ever (sorry Kanye).
Well 2009 is starting out with more of the same. The following was posted by Trent Reznor on the NIN website:

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.
…
That’s right. 400 GB of unedited HD footage!
The band initially was planning on putting out a full length pro-shot concert film that would play in IMAX theaters nationwide, but the idea was scrapped due to scheduling conflicts.
Below you will find direct links to the torrents containing all of the footage if any of you enterprising video editors out there want to take a crack at it.
