HEALTH NIN Gary Numan jam insanity @ Henry Fonda (by reneebarton)

** The Wiltern show scheduled for Saturday Sept 5th is now happening on Thursday Sept 10th - this is now the final show **

Hello all-

Sorry about the hassles with the show not happening last night and tomorrow's rescheduling. If it would have been possible to pull these off, I would have. Anyway, here's the new plan. I appreciate your patience and understanding - we're attempting to make sure that everyone has the best experience possible and we're at full power.

NEW FAREWELL SCHEDULE FOR LOS ANGELES:
9/6 Echoplex (unchanged)
9/8 Henry Fonda (rescheduled date)
9/10 The Wiltern (rescheduled date)

The first of four 'Wave Goodbye' NIN shows in LA was at the Palladium on September 2nd. Gary Numan joined the band as a special guest at that show, and at the Echoplex show on 9/6, and again last night (9/8) at the Music Box @ Fonda.

Unlike the first two shows though, Gary was not alone at the third. The Henry Fonda audience didn't get Peter Murphy, but they did get Mike Garson (David Bowie, etc), Eric Avery (Jane's Addiction), Danny Lohner (NIN & lots of stuff), AND Greg Puciato (Dillinger Escape Plan). All five of them came out to play songs with Trent Reznor and band.

Gary Numan and Eric Avery were on stage together for a cover of Gang of Four's "Anthrax" (and for "Cars"). Plus, HEALTH opened the show and later joined Nine Inch Nails and friends on stage too (see picture above). There were two encores and two Joy Division covers. No full albums played, but there were 31 songs total. Full NIN setlist below...

another photo that could probably use a good caption....

Lead Singer Perry Farrell (R) and guitarist Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction perform at the 2008 NME Awards USA at El Rey theatre in Los Angeles April 23, 2008. The original line-up of the rock band took the stage for the first time in 17 years.

"Perry Farrell" is also playing Coachella at 2pm on Sunday. According to PerryFarrell.net, it will just be a "live electro set with Carl and Etty." Perry + Carl + Etty = Satellite Party, but maybe they don't want to call it that anymore since according to Wikipeda Extreme's Nuno Bettencourt is now a "former member". "Satellite Party" played Coachella last year.

Of course with a Perry on the bill you never know what could happen, and with this reunion and all, there are rumors (which are more than likely not true).

Eric Avery included....
