Well kiddies, I have just returned home from my first Nine Inch Nails show......I know it's lame but you know what it was well worth the wait.
SO Saul Williams was pretty amazingSaul
He played for about a half hour.......then NIN finaly went on about 8:45 or so............played a blistering 2 hour set no breaks no bull shit........I wish I could remember the set list but I can tell you it was pretty much all old shit. I will try and list all the songs no special order cause that would require to much brain capacity right now........
Sin
Head Like A Hole
Everyday Is Exactly The Same
Only
Hand That Feeds
Closer
March Of The Pigs
Piggy
Hurt
Starfuckers, Inc.
Suck
The Day The World Went Away
The Frail
The Line Begins To Blur
The Wretched
Wish
Eraser
There might have been more but Fuck it was my first time seeing them live so I was a bit overwhelmed to remember every song.......ALL I do know is that it is definitaly in the top 5 concerts of all time for me and I have seen many of shows............I will post some pics tomorrow hopefully....since my digital cam busted I had to resort to the good old disposable one......
As for the show itself.......I was about 5 feet from the stage and the sound quality was freakin amazing.....I have been to so many shows and been that close and not been able to hear a goddamn thing......Every word and every note of every song was clear as day as if I was listening to the damn CD.......Trent looked and sounded amazing, he appologized about half way into the set for haveing to re-schedule the show, I thought that was really cool, Not many Bands take full responcability like that anymore........Jeordie White was killer on that bass as usual even when he was playing with Marilyn Manson.......Josh Freeze riped the skins like I have never heard done in a very very very long tme.........Arron North shreaded the 6 string like it was going out of style......and Alessandro Cortini fucked with the synths like I have never heard live before......... All in all the only regret I have is not getting the chance to see them live before tonight

Erie PA will also always hold a place in my heart as I was on the rail for my first time ever and when Trent came down during Piggy I got to pet his head twice. Wow - no complaints here
