This concert was initially scheduled for May 10, 2007, but was postponed because [[Trent Reznor]] came down with laryngitis, leaving him unable to sing. Tickets from the initial tour date were honored as valid at this concert.
The band wore uniform grey shirts, black trousers and black ties at the beginning of the show; Trent was additionally dressed in a slim black leather jacket and black gloves. At one stage of the show, Aaron appeared to chat to Geordie but in fact snagged his guitar with a cable and , started a tug of war which Trent interrupted by running through the cable.
Trent addressed the crowd at two points during the concert; in the first instance he introduced the members of the band (also mentioning Cortini "makes a delicious fettucinni") and outlined each of their side-projects, including a solo project being worked on by Aaron 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:
* The 'sequel' album to Year 0 is currently being worked on and will be released some time next year, and the band will likely be touring again "mid next year":

"Same deal as this one - you keep stealing the music and sharing it with your friends, and maybe convince them to come along and see the show."
