 this is the best Blu-ray music performance yet released January 5, 2009
Richard Glass (San Francisco, CA)
As a film of a live performance, 'Beside You in Time' is a more straightforward affair. The stage set is typically impressive, yet simple. Live performance is at the forefront, with only a single gigantic LED video screen behind the band, so interaction between members is never overshadowed. The images have an impressionistic quality when viewed up close, yet form a compelling unity when shot from far in the background. They also wisely do not simply flash footage of what is happening onstage, but create unique, artistic forms that bring fresh shading to the songs, and keep the presentation dynamic and visually stimulating. Add to that a terrific light show and enough smoke for a good-sized forest fire, and the band certainly still has its act together.
Song-wise, all the expected hits are here: "Closer," "Head Like a Hole," the recent hit "Hand that Feeds" and "Hurt," which Johnny Cash so hauntingly covered a few years back. Though likely no one is buying a Nine Inch Nails concert disc for power ballads and jazzy lounge numbers, the set list does a fairly good job of balancing out the most hardcore numbers with a few slower bits, lesser-known album tracks and the "poppy" hits, like "Head Like a Hole." But the biggest risk of all is that Reznor refuses to turn the show into a hit parade, playing just about every track off the band's most recent album -- 2005's "With Teeth." It's a gambit that works, as the crowd eats up every song. Whenever Reznor does finally decide to call it quits, one thing is for sure -- he won't go out quietly.
Shot entirely with high-def cameras, simply put, this is the best-looking concert video I've ever seen. Granted, the majority of music HD programming I've enjoyed this far has been via over-the-air and cable broadcasts, such as the concerts found on the HDNet and Rave all-HD networks where it is usually laced with compression artifacts, or upconverted from 720p. But 'Beside You in Time' is the perfect example of the superiority Blu-ray format - the image is incredibly detailed, life-like, three-dimensional and free from obnoxious macroblocking.
Predictably, 'Beside You in Time' sounds best when played loud. The low bass here absolutely rivals -- if not exceeds -- even the greatest action movie soundtracks. The tightness and force of the subwoofer is simply a whopper. The level of clarity to the entire frequency range is no slouch, either. Granted, you're not going to hear lovely flute solos and breathy Celine Dion vocals, but the level of clarity and precision to the sounds is palpable. Just a few flips back and forth between the TrueHD and standard Dolby 5.1 tracks also makes the improvements obvious -- Reznor's vocals reveal more texture, such as the sound of a light breath after the last line of the first verse in "Hurt" (which is inaudible on standard Dolby track). Guitars also have a more vicious feel, and again, those damn drums. This is goosebumps time for fans like me who love loud, aggressive rock.
As far as surround use goes, the mix is still front-heavy. However, that's appropriate for a live show -- we are watching the concert as if we're the audience, so the majority of the rears are reserved for crowd noise, sing-alongs, and some minor bleed of the music. Occasionally I detected more distinct incorporation of actual instrumentation. But in general, this is a powerful evocation of a live show, not a rejiggered 5.1 remix of studio-originated music.
As such, this is a five-star presentation, and 'Beside You in Time' is absolutely my new music demo disc.
Simply A-MA-ZING!!! December 27, 2008
Camilo Rueda Lopez (San Sebastian de Los Reyes, MADRID Spain)
Besides from the packaging (which is an absolute nonsense if compared to the contents), this DVD/Blu Ray will remain in time almost for sure as the new millenium "Song Remains The Same" kindo. Perfect on the sound, amazing on the recording, precise on the subtitling and brilliant on the whole performance. It captures most of the whole sound and spirit of NIN as it were back in 2006.
Absolutely amazing and almost for sure a must on any respectable discograpy... even within those other "classics".
Only shame would be it was a bit over-acted on the rehearshals... perhaps a an aspirin or a beer (or two) would have done quite good on a couple of the band memebers before recording the videos.
Everything else is just perfect, and even quite a lot much better than "And All That Could Have Been" DVD set.
A MUST.
 Great Value November 12, 2008

Beside You in Time is a must watch for any NIN fan. Don't expect to find elaborated material (just the dvd and a one sheet leaflet with some art) inside the dvd case but the show itself makes it worth it.
Great concert, powerful performance, HD quality November 2, 2008

Nine Inch Nails Live - Beside You in Time
If you are a Nine Inch Nails FAN you don't need to read this review. If you are new this is a mayor event.
The live performance behind NIN is just great, the energy that Trent Reznor provide is unbelievable.
The Quality of this Blue-ray disc is what this new technology is about. This was the first thing i saw in my Blue-ray player (PS3) and comparing this with the standard DVD version (I already own) I have to tell you it's incredible.
If you are looking something changeling for your HD player just pickup this disc, if you are looking for new experience pickup this; become a NIN fan after watching this DVD is very common :).
I'm just waiting for the next NIN live performance during 2008 tour; if you think this one was cool don't hesitate to look for more.
great performance...
