Well, my trolling through the world of the internet has finally yielded a good quality recording of one of Trent Reznor's sets at the recent Bridge School Benefit show.You need to hear his face-melting set; you can read my review here. I reiterate my unbridled desire for Trent to embark on a small-venue tour with these kinds of acoustic reinterpretation of his songs, because they seriously blew my mind.
NEW FILES! Updated 11/2, good quality. #2 and #3 are especially recommended. Unfortunately, I couldn't find #9, "Hurt," which was a popular one, so I have re-upped the link to the older, lower-quality version of Hurt from the last set I discovered.The Frail
Something I Can Never Have
Piggy
La Mer
Adrift and At Peace
The Fragile
Right Where It Belongs
Non-Entity
Hurt (lower quality)
Simply amazing.
He looks so Roman with that beard! I can't wait to waste a ton of money to see NIN in Europe this Winter!
ReplyDeleteSpot on, mita - Roman/Gallic indeed.
ReplyDeletei knew it! 'james mercer' was really trent all along.
ReplyDelete"All links are YouSendIt because the new EZArchive is cryptic beyond belief and I think that only the Mensa-bloggers have figured it out yet." Lots of laughs Heather. I must be way below Mensa as I too am struggling with the EZ guy. But thanks for sharing the Trent. Keep up the good work even if EZ sucks balls.
ReplyDeletedownload limit has already been reached....any chance of this being reposted? thanks a bunch.
ReplyDeletemy apologies, in my excitement i skipped right over the song links and went straight to the ZIP link. the song links are still working fine. thanks so much for posting this. i hope Trent tries more of this, and in much smaller venues, it was an amazing performance.
ReplyDeleteAny chance for a repost? Ans (yes) the new Ezarchive is a bit cryptic. Took me almost an hour to figure out how to get links working...
ReplyDelete"Hurt" is expired...all the rest I could get. Any chance of a repost of "Hurt"? Pretty please?
ReplyDeletepretty please from the uk for hurt as well
ReplyDeleteAND repost the Zip file. The download limit has been reached. Have been looking for this since I read about it here last week!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU HEATHER!

Thank you TONS for the re-up of "Hurt!"
ReplyDeleteFYI - Pearl Jam's two sets are up at pearljambootlegs.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteoh my god! can you re-post pleeeeeease!?!?!? i've been dying to hear this and the links aren't working :(
ReplyDeleteI'd love to comment on the music, but DAYUM! He looks better now than he ever has!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting these!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to see the video clips about them I blogged the YouTube links here.
Thanks for this set, Heather. You've inspired me to post an old NIN show this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the download - I had one of the early, inferior versions on my blog. I hope this one truly does sound better.
ReplyDeleteRich
Wow! I'd been looking for these files! Is there a torrent somewhere? Otherwise I'll be back this evening when I get home from work to dl them all! :-)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Those aren't Spiral images are they?
THANKS! Amazing show! I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan, but I think Trent stole the show! What a great weekend of music!
ReplyDeleteThank you Heather...and I much agree with your comment on his touring with this format. It would be brilliant.
ReplyDeleteEgads! I've been looking and now, here they are. Thank you, thank you, thank you... Off to listen right now.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this. I've been anxious to hear some more acoustic Trent ever since the Still CD which is by far one of my favorites in the NIN catalog.
ReplyDeleteYou freaking Rock!
ReplyDeleteThank you so...
thank you so much for this.
ReplyDeleteScore! I've been looking everywhere for these. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThankyou so very much for posting the links to Trents Set. The acoustic-versions (especially "right were it belongs"!) are real treasures!
ReplyDeleteBeside this, the artists and all the other people that support this school have my biggest respect.
best wishes from Germany,
Daniel

ReplyDelete"I Fucking Love you"
thanks!
Amazing, just amazing... I just can't understand why Trent's set wasn't included on the Bridge School Benefit compilation. Big thanks to you for finding it and sharing!
ReplyDeleteI only just stumbled onto these recordings...a year and half later! Up until now I've had to suffer the youtube posts getting my fix of these amazing renditions! Thank you for posting these much better quality recordings! Was this performance ever put on DVD/CD release by the Bridge School? I've seen all of the raw tapings - but it would be amazing to have this for my collection! Checked the Bridge School website and can't find any details - except for a compilation of artists - which I understand Trent Reznor's performance did not make the cut for some reason! So any info that you know of would be terribly appreciated!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU AGAIN FOR POSTING THIS!
He's an amazing man!
Bless you for finding these. I have been searching for them.Wow just WOW!
ReplyDeleteI listened to these links over and over and downloaded them to my computer a few years ago. My computer that has the files has since mostly broken, so finding these again is like finding your true love all over again. Ha. Amazing, I'm so happy they are still up and working. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteVery tanks girl, those versions sounds amazing, and if some NIN fan want, can download this funbook http://www.mediafire.com/?j2eoogznio5
ReplyDeletethis is amazing, thank you and whoever recorded this.
