NOVO DVD AO VIVO DE NIN DA TOUR DE
LIGHTS IN THE SKY FEITO COM A COLABORAÇÃO DOS IMENSOS FÃS DA BANDA
Our 2008
Lights In The Sky tour was an ambitious
multimedia productionon a scale well beyond anything we'd ever attempted before. Everyone
involved was extremely proud of how it came together, and we were
devastated when, for a variety of reasons, we were unable to capture it
professionally for a theatrical or commercial release. As a "plan B" of
sorts, early last year we
releaseda massive 405gb free download of raw HD footage captured at three
different shows during the tour. The idea was to get the footage out in
the wild and see what our notoriously
enterprisingfans could do with it. There were no rules. No strings attached. This
was a gift, and an experiment, and for the past year we've watched it
come to life in more ways than we could have ever imagined.
Fans have edited
thousands of videos from the footage, assembled their own DVDs and live albums, even held
theatrical screenings of their creations. And now, the ambitious and well-organized group known as
This One Is On Us have released their massive, highly-anticipated creation,
Another Version of the Truth: The Gift.
For 12 months, a
core teamof dozens of fans and a network of thousands spanning the entire globe
pooled their efforts to create this professional-quality 1080p 5.1
concert film, and have released it in every format from Blu-ray and DVD
to iPod and YouTube. It combines footage from all three shows and
includes DVD menus, bonus footage, a PDF booklet, and more. That
something of this scale was produced entirely by fans, on their own
time, purely for the sake of giving something back to the community, is
absolutely unprecedented. You can read all about the project and find
all the download links
here, or watch it immediately on YouTube
here. Theatrical screenings are already being organized, you can find more info about those
here.
This is yet another
exampleof a devoted fanbase and a policy of openness combining to fill in
blanks left by old media barriers. The entire NIN camp is absolutely
thrilled that treating our fans with respect and nurturing their
creativity has led to such an overwhelming outpour of incredible
content, and that we now have such a high quality souvenir from our
most ambitious tour ever. Or, as Trent simply
put it, "Nine Inch Nails fans kick ass."
