==Notes==
*This concert was initially scheduled for May 10, 2007, but was postponed because [[Trent Reznor]] came down with laryngitis, leaving him unable to talk and sing. Tickets from the initial tour date were honored as valid at this concert.
*The band wore uniform quasi-military grey shirts, black trousers and black ties at the beginning of the show; Reznor was additionally dressed in a slim black leather jacket and black gloves. *At one point in the show, [[Aaron North]] appeared to chat to [[Jeordie White]] but in fact snagged his guitar with a cable and started a tug of war which Reznor interrupted by running through the cable.
*Reznor addressed the crowd at two points during the concert: in the first instance he introduced the members of the band (also mentioning [[Alessandro Cortini]] "makes a delicious fettucinni") and outlined each of their side-projects, including a solo project being worked on by North of which Reznor said "I know absolutely nothing about." He outlined what had happened since when they last played Sydney (an earlier leg of the same tour)—he had produced [[Saul Williams]]' new album, toured China ("We found that there are a lot of fuckin' Chinese in China"), Israel and Germany ("all in the same week!"). After another song he followed up with "two things I forgot to mention", and announced that:
#Devo (of which [[Josh Freese]] is a member) will be touring Australia in 2007 ("he may just end up staying here")
#"[[Gave Up]]"
#"[[Me, I'm Not]]"
#"[[The Great Destroyer]]"- the chaotic instrumental ending to the song was greatly lengthened and featured snatches of "[[Happiness in Slavery]]".
#"[[Eraser]]"
#"[[Only (song)|Only]]"
