Nine Inch Nails Live - Beside You in Time [Blu-ray]
M**E
A Truly High Definition Experience
I have been a huge Nine Inch Nails since I was a teenager. NIN has changed over the years and evolved alongside me. Though some of the angst of previous years is gone, NIN has never sounded better. A great HD follow-up to And All That Could Have Been (another excellent live DVD.)Even if you do not typically enjoy NIN, there is no better way to test or enjoy a good surround set up. I recently finished installing a high quality 7.1 THX surround setup and used this Blu-Ray to configure and test. There is a great optimization/test feature on the disc that allows you to ensure every channel is operating properly. Once configured, the concert pushes your system to the limit. The audio is perfectly mixed and the video is crystal clear. Trent Reznor is a perfectionist and it shows how expertly crafted and recorded this experience is. It's hard to replicate the feeling of being at a concert but this is as close as you can get to experiencing NIN Live at the comfort of your couch.The track list is an updated version of AATCHB swapping some tracks from The Fragile for some from With Teeth. While WT is not my favorite album, the tracks here are standouts from that album. All of the favorites from past albums remain though and Trent trades some of the emotion from previous years for precision. A lot changed for Trent between The Fragile and With Teeth; getting sober and learning how to deal with past insecurities along with maturation and aging has led to a loss of some of the anger previous releases have had. Trent is still far from a bright and sunny person but you can tell he is no longer caught in a downward spiral of self destruction. Trent went from a skinny junkie looking guy to a meat head looking guy. My only complaint about this and all modern performances is the constant interjections of "YEAH!" "HEY!" and "Come On!" between verses. It is distracting and annoying. Otherwise Trent who has never been a traditionally good singer has gotten quite good at refining his voice. While his screaming is less frequent and believable, his voice is better than ever.All in all this is highly recommended to NIN fans, audiophiles, and anyone who wants to experience a truly High Definition audio/visual experience.

Buy it for the surround sound mix alone!
First things first, I hope this review is going back to the seller - and maybe it is not - but as a Prime member for years, I promise you this used disc got to me ALMOST as quickly! So kudos. This was one of those occasions (as happens far too often) where I was looking for this disc when the NIN tour was announced and of course ... couldn't find it because I know I let a friend borrow it and yet they claim they didn't. This was also one of those occasions where if I just waited a day, I wouldn't even care to watch this thing. That said, I did not ... but I said ... you know what, I'll go used! So go used I did, the disc insanely shipped THAT NIGHT (late) and got to me in 3 days which includes a Sunday so kudos to you seller. About the disc ... if you love NIN, buy it for the surround sound mix alone ... all of his records should be mixed in this format and this gives you that. Visual production is NOT his best - but so what, Something I Can Never have and Burn are on it ... what more do you need?

Nine Inch Nails in high definition
The video "Beside You In Time" documents two shows of Nine Inch Nails during their "With Teeth" tour in 2005. It was shot in a span of two days all in high definition. The Blu Ray format really brings out high def to your TV screen. The visual aspect of this show is amazing. The lights and the stage show is phenomenal and it looks like you can reach out and touch Trent. The song setlist is amazing and the overall show is so full of energy.Trent is back and sober this time. He has gained a ton of muscle and has a whole new band to support NIN. One being the bassist of former protege Marilyn Manson. His new lineup is filled with the absolute best rhythm group ever. Jeordie is ferocious on bass, Aaron North is like a demented windmill and Freese is a solid drummer who never misses a beat. Along with the band is Alessandro Cortini who handles the intricate synths and keys. This high-energy band replicates the NIN catalogue with dignity and respect to its original recordings, but each member adds a certain element to the songs, one notably is a slight change at the end of "Terrible Lie".The video also includes a short show from the summmer tour and music videos in the "With Teeth" era. Some of the music videos actually consist of live rehearsals. Overall this is a great buy with the high-def visual candy and the 5.1 Dolby/DTS surround. It showcases the new age of Trent and is packed full of energy that the past tours lacked or made up with make up and smashing. This is quite a show to see in high-def.

Great DVD, pretty neat (but not perfect) concert
I am a gargantuan NIN fan. I've seen them live four times now, and while this is was a great show, I have to say that I left it wanting more. However, I know the reason for that is because I've seen all the live shows I have. The setlist is just a little too hit-friendly for my taste. I could've watched this show without regulars such as "Terrible Lie", "Wish" or "Closer". Aside from the With Teeth songs, the setlist was identical to the Fragility Tour (and the subsequent DVD, And All That Could Have Been). And that section in the middle with the screen is exactly (and I mean exactly!) what was done during the Self Destruct Tour in 1995. While Trent Reznor is a musical genius in every sense of the word, I found myself disappointed that he repeated himself so much.That being said, for someone who has never seen a NIN show, the setlist rocks, and the show is spectacular! And, in true Trent Reznor style, the DVD quality is immaculate. Crystal clear picture, tons of great extras (Trent is amazing to his fans!) and a sound quality that will blow you away! I do not regret purchasing this DVD! I greatly look forward to the release of Year Zero and the subsequent touring and videos that complement what's already a haunting and engrossing concept album!

Muy recomendable
Nine Inch Nails fue una de las bandas que llegó para quedarse en mis favoritas. Este concierto es mejor aún que el “And All That Could Have Been”. Trent Reznor nunca deja de sorprenderme. Lo recomiendo bastante.

お前たちは今のままでよいのか?とゲキを飛ばされてるような気がします
1999年のアルバム「ザ・フラジャイル」までのナインインチネイルズと言えばトレントレズナーの内面の暗黒を作品に昇華させたり、ロックの終焉を描いたりもしてました。ブッシュ政権誕生後の悪政にトレントレズナーは自分以外の外界に目を向けるようになります。2005年のアルバム「ウィズ・ティース」にはそんなトレントのマインドが充満してました。本ブルーレイはそのウィズ・ティースツアーの模様を収めています。ついつい大音量で聴いてしまいますね。日本語字幕はないですが、英語字幕はあります。マッチョになったトレントの姿に驚きますが、厳しい現実を反映した結果だと思います。トレントの闘い、そして気合いを感じてみてはいかがですか?私はすでに圧倒されてます!
