2007/08/05 Helsinki, Finland

This concert took place on August 5th, 2007 at the Ankkarock Festival in Helsinki, Finland as part of the Performance 2007 tour.

Notes

Trent Reznor remarked to the Finnish audience:

"Wow, we've been in Finland a fuck of a lot this year. Thinkin' about gettin' a place, lookin'
for a roommate."

The next thing he said was:

"This is from a new record we put out, Year Zero. If you can't find it, steal it and give it
to your friends."

Reznor ribbed on the light technician during the lyrics of "Only" by singing:

"Sometimes I think I see the lights on the stage, and sometimes I fucking don't."

instead of the chorus when the lights wouldn't work properly. Festival coordinators started the end fireworks too soon (NIN was the last act to play), in the middle of the song "Hurt." This confused and obviously amused Reznor, who paused the song and remarked:

"Well, this is a first!"

and watched the fireworks with the rest of the crowd before finishing the song.
