Can you even imagine how cool it would be to be at this concert and THIS happens?!?!

[tommyallen]

The drummer deserves a lifetime achievement award!

[bidask]

This is the Super Bowl halftime show we need.

[iamozzman]

Drummer is killing it! This an amazing performance by Gary and NiN

I love the idea of Trent playing tambourine backing for Gary Numan so much.

[dsmpnexus]

Can we just acknowledge how perfectly and powerfully Trent executes the tambourine part in this! Wow!

NIN Drummer Ilan Rubin in 2020 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as the youngest living inductee in its history. He is also the first Rock Hall inductee to be born in the 1980s. How cool is that??

The camera work on this clip is pretty solid

[RockneOliver]

This song is 41 years old (2020), and it still kicks ass. And NIN paid MAD respect to Gary on this. Props to everyone.

This is one of those rare songs that really should be about 20 minutes longer.

[scareyme]

He's pounding on those drums like they owe him money. This is tight. Very tight.

[dricc]

I still to this day believe that this is the best recorded live performance

[jasonwilliams]

Every single thing about this is perfect.

[patton]

Just a little side love for Ilain Rubin who is absolutely drumming for his very life in this beautiful moment.

[luizcarlosquerinofilho]

Love to see Gary’s smile at 0:24...the pure joy of an amazing artist seeing people enthusiastically react to one of his masterpieces.

[shawngregory]

Whoever shot this video did an amazing job. Everyone on-stage is featured

[tschwifty]

I really appreciate how Trent let’s Gary have the moment all to himself. It wasn’t a power move. He’s just a good guy!

[unwritten_zephyr]

Gary Numan looks, sounds, and rocks like he’s 40 years younger than he is.

[baz]

That drummer tho, drumming like his life depended on it

[tonimarx]

I turned 39 this year and began sulking and feeling sorry for myself because I felt *old* . To see Gary rocking out like this in his 60's shows that age means absolutely nothing and it helped me snap out of my melancholy!
