Nine Inch Nails is the best picture and sound of any Blu-ray

[vick vega]

I watched this again last night and wanted to reiterate that this the best looking and sounding Blu-ray of any currently. There's no grain in the picture and the audio is phenomenal. Why they intentionally put grain into movies is beyond me. We need more concert Blu-rays because, they obviously can't hammer down the PQ on some of these Blu-rays. I believe it has a Dolby True HD audio track but, my reciever can onlt do Dolby digital, DTS+DTS-ES.

I love this one as well. I saw NIN on this tour and this is just about as good as being there. It's weird though, as I'm used to seeing Nine Inch Nails in videos like Closure (where the hell is the DVD of this!?!), where it looks like amateur video, so the pristine-ness of this presentation is a bit of a shock.

Now bring on some Tool!!! Tool with PCM . . . Love your avatar

Thanks for the tip. I want to build up my concert BD collection. Only have 3 so far.

Would love to see the videos they did with Mark Romanek in blu. Hopefully they will add it in the special features of a future release.

I have to check this out. What are the specs on this BD? About concert BDs, try Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds: Live at Radio City Music Hall...awesome audio and video quality.

It reads as 1080i, even though the packaging and the website (halo22.nin.com) says it's 1080p . . . TrueHD soundtrack.

Also according to the website, the bitrate was bumped for the Blu-ray release (it also says it's hardly noticeable, but still ).

I've been tempted to pick up the DM/TR release, but I really don't care for Dave Matthews' voice.

I have a demo disc of the NIN blu ray that has a handfull of songs on it.

I can't watch more then about half a song before I shut it off.

I thought I would like NIN but,.. they sux.

Blasphemy! is coming for you!

I have two of the Blu-ray samplers . . . and one HD DVD. I'm a Nine Inch Nails freak, and it's the only HD DVD I own.

Yeah, I had 1 of those and chucked it in the trash.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion, but I love NIN. However, I will say that the With Teeth cd that this particular live tour was going for is probably Trent's worst outting.

The songs on that CD I would try before completely giving up: Terrible Lie, March of the Pigs, Burn, Gave Up, Wish, Hurt, and of course Head Like a Hole.

Those songs are pretty classic NIN songs and better embody what Trent is really about. The songs off With Teeth were lacking for me and for most older NIN fans in general.

Also, their live show is amazing, this disc doesn't do it justice. Good image and sound quality though, and I personally still like the disc. Try finding "Closure" on VHS for a true NIN experience!

BTW, to the person asking where the Closure DVD is, it was completed about 4 years ago but was in limbo because of some issues with their record label Interscope.

Now that Trent left the label and is solo, I don't know if we will ever see that disc. It is really a bummer if we don't, that is the best NIN DVD by far.

Yes, it's flagged/output at 1080i60... but the content is 1080p30.

As much as it pains me to agree with a Man U supporter, I will.

BStecke If you appreciate musical ability, the Dave and Tim Blu is worth it. Tim is a freak of nature. He's that good... He's like 4'10" (Dave is 6'2") and has the fastest tiniest fingers ever. I think he might be king of the lilliputions!

Tool in blu would make me pass out. Maybe even die happy.

[delavoie]

I have both the NIN blu and the Dave & Tim Blu.. and imo Dave & Tim blows the NIN away.. much better picture quality and sound.

[Cory108]

I second the NIN is better than Dave Mathews!

Dave was never my cup of tea and never will be. But I used to go out with a girl who loved em so I occasionally listened to em. But compared to the content I find Beside You In Time to be superior on every front. You have to take into account of the type of concert each is.

Holy Crap! Tool would be awesome. The visuals for their live show have really grown. I saw them at Bonnaroo (among other places), and Maynard was in the dark for the whole show, they really tried to highlight the visuals... The sound though... wow ... bring it on...

[ryoohki]

I rewatch it recently.. it's nice.. but it have a lot of banding... and blocking at some places.... The sound mix is very good tought..

[Memnoch]

I bought into HD because of this BD, but I have to admit, the Dave Matthews one does give it a run for its money.

Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds blows this away.

[surfdude12]

one big tip before you watch this: most of the songs will seem like mediocre PQ but that is the SMOKE on the stage, not the BD. to confirm, go to the track where NIN put a projector screen across the whole stage with a giant bird xray on the screen (yeah its why we love them , and no smoke is anywyere, the crowd are so crisp they literally look like they're trying to get out of my TV...its sick
