Reznor, apparently, wasn't happy.
And that'd be fantastic if you could find a setlist.
Found it! No scanner though.
There's two A4 sheets, one pre printed "event details" with hand written Details (bold below)
Tonights event Details Date 7th Sept '91 Doors open 7-30 (sharp) Support Drill Headline Nine Inch Nails On Stage 10pm (prompt) D.J. Big Gordon Bar Closes 11pm (sorry!)
Then a secondsheet which is the set list, it's a photocopy of a handwritten list set;
Terrible Lie Sin Physical Only Time Suck That's what I get Wish Get Down Ring Finger ?? Down in it Head Like a hole.
Wow. Cheers for that.
That is some setlist. Pity Something I Can Never Have isn't there.
And that's a shitter about the bar at 11.
Encore, (I think, I'll have to check on that).
Found loads of ltd edition stuff from back then 10" of Sin, Down In It 12" + stencil , Head like a hole 12" etc where's the best place to find out if it's worth flogging - October funds.

Tried EBay?
I recall an old Melody Maker review of Nine Inch Nails which described their music at the time as "sort of like Depeche Mode but with a serious attitude problem". And that was class! 
I had to check them out after that and must admit that's exactly what they sounded like (Pretty Hate Machine). I love their more gonzoid numbers though - where they're tearing off at 200 mph. Songs like Wish, March of the Pigs, Gave Up, Big Man With a Gun, Perfect Drug. When they get too gothy and pretentious that's when I wanna reach for the skip button.
Oh, and Closer is soooooooo overrated. I like it even less now when I found out that Tom Jones actually wanted to cover it cos he said that when he first heard it he thought it was a Prince song cos it made him feel horny. How utterly yuck is that? 
:barf: :dead:

That's what he once said in a newspaper interview. There was this list of his ten current favourite records/artists and he included NIN's "Closer" somewhere in this list - when asked to explain why he put them in (I mean, Tom Jones? Liking Nine Inch Nails??!! Shurely shome mistake?) he admitted he heard this song whilst in the US and initially thought it was a Prince song cos it was so suggestive and sleazy. He then said something about it making him feel horny and admitted he wished he'd wrote that song himself....... :dotdotdot:
I mean, bearing in mind what Jones did to Prince's "Kiss", I bet Trent Reznor is well flattered. :barf:
