Arrivé vers 15h30 au colisée. Il y avait des fous qui gelaient dehors Nous on a préféré attendre à l'intérieur. Les billets sont arrivé vers 17h. Ils nous on séparé Spiral vs non-spiral et notre privilège de membre a été d'attendre en dedans tandis que les non-membres devaient attendre dehors. On a entendu de loin Piggy, Reptile, et une autre que je me souviens plus. On nous a permis d'acheter nos cossins avant que les non-membres entrent pis ils nous fait entrer. Pas de soundcheck, ni de meet and greet.

Saul William s'est plaint qu'il était noir (ou quelque chose du genre), mais il nous a rassuré en nous disant que nous ne formions qu'UN : les quebecois, les canadiens, les blancs, les noirs, le rock, le hip-hop, nous ne sommes qu'UN.

Trent filait pas pantoute. Avec une grippe c'est pas facile de crier pendant 1h30. Il avait l'air de soufrir sur la scène, il n'avait visiblement pas de plaisir à être là. Il a sauté plein de paroles (surtout des partie où il aurait dû crier) mais la foule était indulgente et on l'a encouragé du mieux qu'on pouvait (pas facile avec la moitié des bancs vides, maudit qu'on est poche à Quebec, même pas capable de remplir 5000 sièges). Il nous a avoué qu'il était très insatisfait de sa situation. Être malade en tournée ça suce! Tu as deux choix, ou bien annulé pis faire chier tout le monde ou bien faire le show "and feel like shit" et offrir "a shitty performance". Vers la fin de show, Trent a mis un foulard, faut dire qu'il fa frette en ostie à Québec city! Il a bu du Neo Citran (ou du the glacé) pendant tout le show.

Aaron avait de l'énergie pour 2. Il s'est même payé un peu de body surfing ROCK ON!

C'était essentiellement la même chose qu'à Montreal, avec Mr. Self Destruct à la place de Love is not Enough. On a eu droit à Sin aussi, yes!

Je pense que le show a été écourté d'au moins une toune, il manquait The Hand That Feeds entre Hurt et Head Like a Hole.

J'aurais préféré qu'il reporte le show à cet été, mais je suis tout de même vraiment content de l'avoir vu ce soir et je comprend que ça doit foutre la merde en maudit quand tu reportes un show.

J'ai l'air de me plaindre, mais en fait j'ai passé une excellente soirée, c'était débile. Mais les souvenirs de Montreal sont encore très frais et ça buchait tellement plus.

En espérant qu'il guérisse vite parce qu'à chanter/crier comme ça à tous les soirs, il va se démolir.

but

... The show must go on...

It was a great show, despite all the weird factors playing against the day: the freezing weather, Trent's illness, the less than packed audience. It would have been great if we would have had better knowledge of where to go and what to do for the Spiral tickets, everyone we talked to was in the same situation, no one had a clue what was going on with where we're supposed to line up or when the tickets were gonna show.

I'm glad we were able to get the show on the scheduled day, we drove up from Moncton, NB to see NIN, an 8 hour trip. Many thanks for not making the road trip a waste of time, seriously.

Jeordie spent a lot of time playing around with the audience, right when the show began someone held up a sign saying "We Love You Jeordie in all your Evolution", with pictures of him in different bands. At one point he figured out he could blind everyone in the front row by reflecting light from a projector off his bass, could clearly see he was having fun with that.

Great job guys, even if Trent was not feeling well, we appreciate it nonetheless. Thanks again for another great show.

PS -Oh yeah, I was in front row right in front of Jeordie, there was a girl right behind me that I helped get up front. We talked about how the band seemed to be playing a little slower than in Montreal. She was pretty short with short black hair and her coat around her waist, just wanted to find out if you were on these boards and just say hi.

We pulled Halifax to Quebec City in 10 hours, it was pretty smooth the whole way. We called the Colisee several times in NB to make sure the show was still on. I was extremely happy with the setlist (Mr. Self Destruct, Sin, Please, Reptile) and thought the band compensated for Trent's lack of energy. Poor guy. Aaron North is a crazy motherfucker though, and Josh's drumming was impecible. The sound couldn't have been better, espically the heavy heavy guitars for Mr Self Destruct (Allasandro on guitar) and Reptile.

The soundcheck was Piggy, Please and Reptile...I was upset we couldn't go in and see it. Such a fucking tease to hear your favourite band playing your favourite songs in the room next to you.

I have about 400 pictures from section 9, and a couple videos. Links will be coming shortly. Many thanks to the Spiral people for convincing security to let my camera in!!! We had a fucking blast despite the setbacks and close calls.

Trent is still sick. He was wearing a scarf and drinking LOTS of water. When he talked to us a bit we could also hear it... But still he gave a pretty good performance!!! I enjoyed the gig. Not as much as the Montreal one. But still! It was about 90 minutes long. All in one go, no encore. I'll have a bigger review, pics and who knows maybe some audio later on. My ears are buzzing...

Thanks to Trent for not postponing the gig!!!!!! Get well soon!!!

Incredible show !

The setist was awesome, but i loved the Montreal show a little bit more because it was the first time i saw them and the crowd was bigger and the setlist a little bit longer. Trent was really sick but still delivered a great performance.

But yesterday night was really amazing too ! The setlist was more oldschool than the one in Montreal. A lot less of With Teeth songs than usual. I'm so glad they played Mr Self-Destruct and Reptile (really LOUD) !

The crowd was small but really loud and energetic. The band seemed to enjoy it. Trent apologized because he was still really sick, he thanked us to coming out and said that we are a kickass audience right before the beging of Hurt. Oh and Aaron is really a crazy motherfucker ! He was out of control, he jumped in the crowd during March of The Pig and beat the crap out of his guitar at the end.

Saul Williams really surprised me. He have a awesome stage presence and a lot of charisma. I really enjoyed his set. He played for aproximatively 30 minutes.

So that was my review, does somebody have some pics of the show ? Thank you
