La tournée Lights in the Sky tire à sa fin et c'est de toute évidence dans le top 3 des shows à vie de vos trois humbles serviteurs. Le tout aurait dû être immortalisé à des fins mercantilles comme il se doit. Et vos trois amis auraient sorti leur carte de crédit déjà tellement remplies afin d'acquérir le précieux matériel. Il semble que non. Explications de Trent lui-même:
File this one under lost opportunities.
I'm very proud of the show we've put together for this tour and have been working hard the last few months to find a way to capture it. I had an amazing situation lined up that would have allowed me to film the show in 3D with James Cameron's team for a theatrical release as well as DVD / BluRay, etc. We had an extra date added to the tour that we were going to give away all the tickets for and have a filming party / thank you show.
I made two critical mistakes. One was to approach a certain record company that owns some of the song rights about producing / funding. The second was to allow said company to fuck around as usual for months before saying um... no. We then achieved the impossible by finding alternate production / funding but the timetable is too rushed to get it filmed comfortably with the remaining time left on the tour. This tour and a lot of the personnel involved finish at the end of this leg, so we can't push filming into Jan / Feb.
Deep breath...
This was an amazing tour and production - certainly the best thing I've ever been involved with and likely the final tour for NIN on this scale. Thank you to those who came out to see it and forgive me for having a Kanye West moment, but this was FOR SURE the best show of the year and any bullshit end-of-the-year poll you may read in the next few weeks that says otherwise simply has it wrong. Those of you who saw it know I'm right.
The shows we have announced in 2009 and any more that may be announced will be a completely different approach with some different personnel and will likely be the last for the foreseeable future.
Donc voilà. En aucun cas c'est un Kanye West moment. Cette tournée ÉTAIT la meilleure chose à passer en Amérique du Nord en 2008. Les Madonna et Coldplay de ce monde ont probablement eu l'air d'un cover band qui joue Sweet Home Alabama au festival de la patate de St-Meuh-Meuh-des-Près comparé à ce qui a détruit le Centre Bell en novembre dernier.
Certains cadres d'une certaine compagnie de disques devraient être pendus haut et court sur la place publique!
