The torrent file for the 1-File M4V video (with Chapters!) is now available for download. The total size is 2.7Gigs, so just know that this is going to take a while to download….and once you have downloaded it, PLEASE CONTINUE SEEDING! This will help tremendously in spreading this file!

I think that I’ve said this about 4,000,000 times already on Twitter, but last night’s show was absolutely amazing! Since Trent so graciously worked out a lax camera policy for this tour, I was able to capture the whole hour-and-a-half performance with our Sony Handycam. The video is a bit shaky in parts, but I tried to hold the camera as steady as I possibly could for that long, heh. There are also a couple of songs that were incomplete because I had to get some douches in front of me to move since they were trying to take some other people’s seats. All in all though, I thought the video turned out awesome for a amateur quality camcorder! The sound is clear and the video is pretty decent quality too. Either way, we have a video of the entire Atlanta show, and possibly the last live performance I’ll ever see by Nine Inch Nails *sad*. No matter what the quality, I’m glad to have a copy!

As for distributing all of these video clips to the people that asked me last night at the show — the total file size of the video captured last night was 6.47 GB. Due to the huge file size, I’ve decided to distribute the files through bittorrent. I think that I’m going to make two different torrents too — one that contains ONLY the raw video files, and a second torrent that contains a pre-made DVD image file that I’m going to put together for myself (and you’re welcome to grab a copy too) will contain a 1-File version of the entire show in chronological order, complete with transitions between each of the clips

I’ll try to get these edited and ready for you to download as soon as possible, but its probably going to take me a few days.  Also, if you could send me a link to the photos you guys took, I’d greatly appreciate it! My email address is josh@twentytwomedia.net

Here’s a couple of shots from the videos for you to see what you’ll be getting:

Street Sweeper (Only filmed a few short clips)

Nine Inch Nails

Jane’s Addiction (“Mountain Song” & only part of “Been Caught Stealing”)

*UPDATE**
I’ve decided to not create a DVD image (I may be a web/graphic designer, but I am no pro-video editor by any means) for everyone to download, but instead I’ll create torrents of 2 different packages of the videos. One package will be a folder of all individual video files, zipped into one pack, ready to be used to make your own DVD of the show — the other will be a 1-File version of the entire show in chronological order, complete with transitions between each of the clips.

Another Nine Inch Nails Props Post

I know that I’ve already posted about my respect for Nine Inch Nails’ frontman Trent Reznor, but he keeps impressing me every time I turn around. There’s a new blog entry on nin.com about the video projects that people are doing with the 400 Gigs of free HD video that Trent gave away from the Lights in the Sky tour. The new entry provides links to a new forum that was setup specifically for the fans to share any of their creations that they’ve come up with from the videos. People have uploaded some video clips, High Res screen caps, as well as low-to-high quality MP3 options & Lossless 5.1 Surround Wav files from the concert footage. 

I’ve been a Nine Inch Nails fan since I was in the 5th grade (like 14 years) so I’ve always thought Trent Reznor was an amazing artist and a very very smart businessman, but I have to say that after everything he’s done, he is the one and only artist that has earned this much respect from me. He takes care of his fans like no other musician does, and seems to truly be in it for the love of what he does, moreso than just for the money. I really do hope that more musicians follow in his footsteps. It’s nice to see someone has our back.

Metallica completely blew it for me with the whole Napster thing. I used to LOVE me some Metallica — now I feel “meh” when I hear them. I mean their whole deal with the Napster thing back in the day completely baffled me because it was a straight up attack on their fans. I mean it wasn’t in any way diplomatic at all, it was just “YOU KEPT US FROM GETTING MORE MONEY, WE WILL SUE YOU NOW!” I know that the whole digital music thing back then was a brand new concept, but the mentality of “ignore it (and just sue) and it will go away” instead of trying to understand and adapt to the new technology, blows me away. I remember reading an article (I believe it was in Rolling Stone) that said the RIAA executives didn’t even really know what the internet was and was just blindsided by the Napster situation. Really? You’re the head of the entire United States recording industry and you’re not trying to stay up with technology? Wow. You can tell their “higher ups” are old, old, old people. If I were the US Government, I would have put an end to the insane amount of STUPID lawsuit cases the RIAA has been involved with for the last 9 years. It’s ridiculous. Their actions make me WANT to steal music…and on that note, an awesome Diggnation clip on that exact statement:

Nails!!!!!1!!!!
