Nine Inch Nails - Beside You in Time (Blu-ray Disc, 2007)

I wasn't 100% sure I'd want to see a NIN concert. After all, most of their
music is electronic and done by machines, so a concert would just mean
people standing around, right?

WRONG. I was amazed at how much energy the entire band had, and how it
never wavered during the 1:45 show. There is a minimal amount of computer
samples, and lots of real instruments. Trent Reznor sounds great live,
which also surprised me. The guy is for real, not just the "sounds good in
the studio" type. The visual effects are nicely done, although for me
personally, are not as epic as Pink Floyd's "Pulse" concert that recently
came out on DVD.

The picture quality is shockingly detailed. While the camera sometimes
switches shots a little faster than I'd like, when it goes to a close-up
shot of Reznor, your jaw will hit the floor. You can see every tiny detail
on the man's face, every little bead of sweat rolling down his brow as he
performs. (aside: when did Trent get a buzzcut and a Henry Rollins body?)

The audio is especially important on a concert film, and this does not
disappoint. Sometimes live shows mix the crowd volume in too loud and
I find it distracting, but not here. The mixing is great, and if you have
a 5.1 or better surround system you will feel like you're there. For those
with subwoofers, check out the song "Burn." If ever there was a bass tone
that made the neighbors complain, it comes from that track!

Great concert, great picture quality, great sound quality. You can't go
wrong with this unless you dislike NIN.

Edit: To the reviewer complaining about profanity: Complaining about profanity
in a NIN concert is ridiculous. It's dark, brutally direct music and it
has been since 1989. Did you expect Mary Poppins when you viewed this?

This is a must own for all Nine Inch Nails fans, even if you're not particularly into concerts or live events. This live concert is so visually appealing, the artistry of the visual [virtual] sets is far beyong what you would expect. Trent Reznor is a powerhouse of raw energy through the whole Blu-Ray Disc.

Being a Blu-ray Disc, the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround sound and 1080P image are second to none. The video for "Only" directed by David Fincher is amazing and makes this disc a must own.

When you watch this video in High Def you are able to feel like you are in the audience. The sound track is outstanding, along with great camera angles (no changing shots every 3 seconds for a different angle- which I find HIGHLY annoying in most concert videos). The stage lighting and effects used throughout the concert will blow you away. This is one great video and if I could have seen the concert it live it would have been one of the best concerts as well. Trent is an awesome talent, who can write, play different instruments, and sing his ass off. GREAT MUSIC, GREAT CONCERT, GREAT VIDEO!

Great concert video.
Very clear
Excellent sound quality.
I have watched many concert videos and this was by far the best,

Yet another great show, absolutly amazing. They keep getting better and better, Trent comes out with new toys every tour. I only hope to see them again live. But the Blu ray has done justice to the shows with vantage points of the six hundred dollar tickets couldnt have given me.

Great disc. Reminded me of going to one of the shows on that tour. Awesome for any nine inch nails fan

If you are an NIN fan, a real fan and have a blue-ray player......just get this. It will blow your mind. Amazing performances from some of their best work....a lot of older material, which in my book is the best. Absolutely incredible. And this review is coming from someone who's seen NIN five times live.

- first. Got it already on DVD. And played it many times, and the set-up and quality is as always superb, but now as Blu-Ray comes more and more popular, surely the music videos has to be released on BD also. And as Trent is one of the leaders of trying out new technology, surely this release also have to be released as BD. And to my mind, it´s not getting better now. It is really wonderful so watch this show in HD. So if you have a BD-player or just a PlayStation 3, and like NIN, then you must buy this one. Also for the collection. It is really brilliant. Keep me rocking for more years now.

Astounding picture and state-of-the-art sound design that will take any home theater system through it's paces.

One of the finest blu-ray discs available currently, and if you're a fan of Nine Inch Nails, it's a must-have.

The eBay auction I found offered the best price that I had seen, so I instantly scooped it up. Words can't express how blown away I was by the ease of the sale (although I usually have good luck with all of my eBay transactions) and the speed the seller posted the disc - I had it with just a few days after the end of the auction.

A perfect example of why I go to both Amazon & eBay with the same regularity when looking for something special & a great deal.

I love this BluRay!! Everything about this BluRay concert rocks! Songs, clarity, extra features (like new music videos), you name it. March of the Pigs has never sounded better.

Seeing this BluRay made me feel like I was in the front and center of the pit!! I highly recommend this for the die hard and casual NIN fan!

NIN at thir best. what a cool show. the audio is incredible. I highly recomend this blu ray experience! really really cool!

This is probably the best thing i have ever bought... If you even like NIN pick this up it is amazing!!! I have played it for some of my friends that are not even into Nails and they keep asking me to play it for them... I could watch it every week for years without getting sick of this disk...
