Nine Inch Nails - Besides You In Time [HD DVD] [2007]

Customer Reviews:

ALMOST LIKE BEING THERE.......2008-01-24

While no live dvd or cd can ever recreate the experience of being at a concert, 'Beside you in time' does a good job of reminding you the last time you saw nin live.

Recorded during the 'With Teeth' world tour it features the winter leg of the tour which is the main part of the dvd, it also features the summer tour and that now famous light show.

The line up has competely changed since the last live release 'All That Could Have Been' but it doesnt suffer one bit, in fact they add to it especially on 'Closer', which has all new guitar parts added to it and a breakdown featuring 'the only time'.

So put this dvd on while you wait to see nin live, and to really add to the experience get someone to stand infront the tv!

Embarrassingly bad for a NIN fan.......2007-12-26

As a big Nine Inch Nails fan I would not play this DVD to someone new to their music. The 'renditions' of their classics are terrible (bar Closer) and often left me, at the beginning of a song, waiting for the track's title to display for clarification. They lack passion and appear to be just going through the motions for the first few songs. Unfortunately the 'motions' are not even that good due to guitarist Aaron North being quite poor when compared to his NIN predecessors.

Is this because the line up of musicians for this tour favour NIN's latest 'sound'? No. Even my favourite 21st century NIN song; Only, doesn't compare well at all to the studio version. Extras include the official (but poor) videos for The Hand That Feeds and Only.

Instead, buy their previous live DVD; And All That Could Have Been DVD for energy, passion and the excellent Robin Finck on guitar.

Godd, but not good enough.......2007-05-19

It's very simple. Whilst this is a great DVD encapsulating the energy of these songs and the power that lives behind them there's two simple points that this DVD fails upon, yet succeeds upon another:
1) Any song that was on 'All that could have been' sounds/looks/emotes better than on this disc
2) The new songs do not capture the same (and I use this word realistically as this is how I felt whatching the previous disc) emotion as the songs on 'All that could have been'............
3) except 'Right Where it Belongs'. This song soars on the record 'With Teeth' and in exactly the same as when I saw them at the Astoria in London on this tour, this song makes me completely forget about the WHOLE world. I am left numb by the sheer simplicity of this song. I love complex music driven by fragmented ideas clashing together, so hearing something so 'nursery rhyme' as this song makes me smile in an almost painful way. This is the only song that this DVD really captures perfectly. And it's not because of the damn George Bush reference. Whilst very well timed, and the crowd love it, this song should be judged on how it makes you shiver. If you don't believe me, just try singing out loud as hard as you can 'You can live in this illusion'. You'll get what I mean

Enough rambling................ You get what I mean

A Solid Performance.......2007-03-31

As a followup to the previous live dvd, 'And All That Could Have Been', 'Beside You In Time' was always going to be as good, or better than before. The only things that could have held this DVD back from its predecessor is Trent's live performance, which we all know is astounding. Reznor is a brilliant vocalist, almost every live track could have been the recorded version, and his backing band is equal to that. Aaron's insane guitar techniques keep the stage moving faster than greyhounds at a race track, not to mention the incredible drumming by Freese.

There are great tracks on this DVD, primarily taken from the With Teeth album, with oddities from The Fragile, The Downward Spiral, and Pretty Hate Machine all contributing to the overall effect. Which is, I might add, very good.

The extras are worth the purchase in themselves, to see tracks like Love is Not Enough, and recent single Everyday is Exactly the Same played live, and the recent music videos up for your viewing pleasure.

And to wrap up, the dvd packaging is very nice. And also available in Blu-Ray and HD-DVD formats for the luckier among us. Making this package a worthwhile investment for hardcore-fans and avid rock listeners alike.

Awesome.......2007-03-27

Visually stunning, the angles explored from a filming point of view are great. At one point you're watching the screen of a phone of someone who's recording the show, great. Notice how you never see A perspective from behind the band, this dvd is designed so you feel like you are their. The live in rehearsals videos are great, really intense and honest to the songs. This dvd is better than ATCHB from 2002.
Buy it, now.
