Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Filmed during a particularly productive period in Trent Reznor's career, "Beside You In Time" is Nine Inch Nails in its leanest and meanest state. Culled from footage shot during the band's 2006 winter tour in support of the "With Teeth" album, the hour and a half set is as heavy on the hits as it is on intoxicating imagery and unmatched intensity. Truly, the intention is to capture lightning in a bottle -- a band firing on all cylinders with an amazing stage show to boot -- and to that end, it is a smashing success.More than anything, though, "Beside You In Time" is a rarity amongst concert videos in that it is just about flawless in its presentation. Somehow, the chaos of a Nine Inch Nails show translates well onto the home video format, placing you front and center with the band. Not only does it look good, but it also sounds phenomenal as well. You could close your eyes and enjoy the performances just as well. Each and every band member is heard loud and clear, unveiling new parts to well-worn songs and bringing much of "With Teeth" to life with appropriate bite and intensity.Of course, it would be cutting the production short without mentioning the professionalism and unbridled enthusiasm from a clean and sober Reznor. Plowing through the set with vigor and intensity, the frontman is in the best shape of his career here. Perhaps inspired by the energy of his all-star bandmates in Josh Freese, Aaron North, Jeordie White (aka Twiggy Ramirez) and Alessandro Cortini, there is never a moment where you feel he is going through the motions, even as he makes his way through the admittedly over-played "Closer" and "Head Like a Hole." Likewise, performances of the likes of "Hurt" and the under-rated "Right Where It Belongs" give the impression that there is just as much passion and emotion put into these performances as ever before.As if the concert footage isn't enough (it really is), there's a number of special features to dig through as well. First off, there's hand-held footage of five songs from the following summer tour which features a different stage set-up as well as a few lesser heard numbers such as "Somewhat Damaged" and "Non-Entity." Next, there are three performance videos pulled from a 2005 rehearsal set that recalls the spontaneous insanity of the "March of the Pigs" video, showing the band is as intense with or without a big production to back them up. Rounding out the video footage are two music videos: "The Hand That Feeds" and "Only." The latter being directed by David Fincher (who incidentally helped Trent work his way to an Oscar) is certainly worth having just for posterity's sake as it is by far and away one of the cooler videos of the '00s. Finally we have a discography section and a comprehensive photo gallery, which leaves us at just about everything but the kitchen sink.While it's true that seeing the band in the flesh would be ideal, "Beside You In Time" offers the next best thing. Since Nine Inch Nails currently remains dormant (though Reznor promises he has time penciled in for 2012 to resume work on new material), this snapshot of the band is a great way to relive the glory of one of rock's most creative and intense voices. Not only is it head and shoulders above most concert videos, but it more than lives up to the high standards set by Reznor's studio work. Your Nine Inch Nails collection simply is not complete without it.

Musically it's fantastic. Now flaws. However at times Reznor's voice sounds a little weak on tracks like "Hurt" or "March of The Pigs". And I'm annoyed at the extra f-words added. But despite some weaknesses, Trent still pulls off a stunning performance. Best songs: "With Teeth", "Closer" (love how they use the keyboard from their 1989 classic "The Only Time) and "Help Me I'm in Hell". Don't forget to check out the bonus features as well! It has some great music videos, and a live in-studio version of "Everyday is Exactly the Same" Plus a picture gallery, and five more live performances. I would recommend this to not only die-hard fans, but to NIN fans in general. And people new to the group will probably enjoy this as well, despite some weak vocals.

This was a great concert DVD, but at the same time, some of it seems like it's already been done before. The fact of the matter is, the version of "Closer" performed during this concert is almost the same as the version performed on the And All That Could Have Been tour, aside from the additional expletive. However, the band manages to kick a good amount of their line-up in high gear. Beside You In Time has one of the best live versions of "Something I Can Never Have" that I've ever seen. Also, his new material seems to have a new life that you didn't hear on the With_Teeth album, most notably in "Love Is Not Enough" and "The Line Begins To Blur." In addition to this, the concert isn't as much of a blur of metal and rage you'd think it might be. There's a good variety of songs here, just what you might expect to see on a Greatest Hits album. It's not all dull-sounding, like And All That Could Have Been. As lively as the hard rock songs are, the ballads like "Something I Can Never Have," "Right Where It Belongs," and "Hurt" are just as vivid. All in all, this concert DVD is nothing new, especially in the way of concert DVDs. At the same time, with the band kicking it up in high-gear, it's a good choice to get, whether you're a NIN enthusiast or just an average fan.

The funniest part about NIN is that they have only released 4 cd's. Yet Beside You In Time marks the 22nd Halo. For those who don't know Trent has marked every release(full lengths,singles,eps & videos)with the title of Halo followed by whatever number they are up to. Funnier still is that Trent somewhat stepped on the genre that made him a star. At least according to some of the vets who founded this genre and schooled Trent. Truth be told nine inch nails is a facade but a really really good one that has and continues to excite and entertain me beyond words. However I never ventured out to see them not once in all the 16 years prior to With Teeths release. For that release I attended a listening party,a small surprise show locally and saw them twice in a larger arena all within the same year. I own every halo release with the exception of the last live DVD release of The Fragile. Too expensive.Too bare bones.I wasn't there. However Live:Beside You In Time no matter the cost or content was a must own and im proud to say this DVD is loaded and sounds and looks great. Other than the extensive winter leg of the tour there is also a small amount of the summer tour featuring a song I have not heard anywhere unless im just missing it in all the confusion,Non-Entity. There is rehearsal footage and videos for The Hand That Feeds & Only. My inner geek also loved the subtitles because sometimes Trent adds lyrics that aren't always audible and now here they are. I know its chee-z but I've literally grown with nin. My head was in that same angst ridden position back in 89 with Pretty Hate Machine and then my self destructive 20's DownWard Spiral and even more lamenting as I entered my 30's Fragile and now im old and cranky but still rather messed up but calmer and somewhat at peace with it With Teeth. I didn't adjust my mood or lifestyle to accommodate the music the music of Nine Inch Nails has honestly been the soundtrack to my life thus far.
