I have seen five shows since August (House of Blues included!) and I need more. There is no better feeling than having a NIN show on your calendar. The anticipation alone gets me way too excited. And then the night finally comes and its just amazing. Sometimes I ride out the high for a few days or weeks until the next show. But currently there are no more shows for me. My last one was in Manchester four days ago. And I am now starting to feel the withdrawl setting in. Thankfully, I have unlimited access to my NIN albums and dvds whenever I want. Can you imagine if we couldn’t listen to the music at our dispense! lol That would be scary! NIN is a gift that I will treasure and love forever. I hope everyone who continues to see them has a great time. See you on the next tour!!

It was the best NIN performance ever. I am going through serious withrawals and console myself by constantly listening to the Worcester, MA setlist in my itunes playlist. I play The Great Destroyer on my surround sound, but it ain't the same as being there.

I looked forward to it for months, and it seems impossible to me that it's now over. BUT I can quite literally call it one of the best and most fun weekends I've ever had, and I got amazing pics that I'm enjoying sharing with friends...so I'm trying to look at it at positively as possible. :-)

That is going to be the show of all shows. The last one of the tour, Josh leaving and Justin saying it will be 110% --- I'm envious!

I feel such anticipation leading up to a show....and then after it's over I feel like "what do I do now?" I've been lucky enough to see 2 shows in the past few months, but that's it for me at this time, unfortunately.....until another North American tour in the future

I suffer from chronic pain so all the driving and standing and sitting on the concrete is kicking my ass...not to mention sleeping in a hotel bed. I ate vicoden like they were coming out of a pez dispenser...especially the day of the concert. Today has been the worst day so far...but I know it will get gradually better. Eventho I love the concerts and being in the pit, I am realizing this old haus frau may have to buy seats from now on. So, on top of the withdrawl, I physically feel like crap.

That is the part that keeps me going, all the bruising and fatigue. Once that wears off then the sadness definitately kicks in. I look at that as a memento - I love that feeling.

Then I nearly start to cry because I miss it more and more each day. It was fucking beautiful. And now I wait and hope for another chance to experience this again.

I just had a thought on the way to pick my son up from school... I schedule NIN into my life...I don't schedule my life around NIN. I would love to be able to see every concert...I just can't put myself or my family through that. I have to keep it real.

Racheljs member Joined: 11/27/07 Location: Springfield Posts: 36	Funny that I just noticed this thread. I was just talking about this earlier (OMS I think it was with you). My hubby and I saw the concert in St. Louis in August. Then this past weekend we saw the Columbia and Tulsa shows. I was so bummed to go back to work today. I guess it will always feel like this afterwards - man it sucks. I'm ready to start feeling better.

margarita678 member Joined: 02/18/08 Posts: 218	After the first show I ever saw in 2005, I felt really depressed afterwards (thinking I would never get to see a NIN concert again). I went and dyed my hair black the next weekend.

Yeah I went to five cause they were in relative driving distance from NYC, and at the time this summer I HAD a good job. If trent was only touring the west coast, I would have been SOL cause I aint going out there (only place id ever consider is vegas cause id like to see vegas besides NIN). Most people have normal lives and only go to NIN when they can, I personally find following a band everywhere kind of odd.

peacenin member Goo Day I Must Say!! Joined: 11/19/08 Location: Gutterville Posts: 13,815	Fer sure. Folks are right about feeling alive, the show was just a great "live life" moment for me.......then it ends and you feel hollow inside. The other more depressing part is....NIN is not going to tour forever so it kinda feels like time is running out. Been working on trying to get to Vegas but it is at about a 10% chance. It's only a little ray of hope......but hey, it's something...... EDIT: Forgot about this post...... VEGAS = 100% chance unless my plane crashes. One way to get rid of the depression, go to Fucking Vegas!!!! Yeehaw!! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/09/2008 10:01AM by peacenin.

For sure, I feel the same way. I wish I could travel around more and see more NIN concerts, but I just can't pick up and go, and also my financial situation doesn't help matters! But i'm so happy that i've been able to see them 6 times since 2000, and each show was close to where I live, so I can't complain at all

groovellaa member Joined: 11/11/08 Location: bumblefuck%2CMantiba%2C f Posts: 28	i feel severe withdrawal knowing they are now out of the country and I wish I could have seen the 2 last shows here. Especially since they didn't do the encore in last show I saw in Saskatoon, feel like I missed something. No little speech from Trent saying hi. It was my boyfriend's first NIN concert too, so we both kinda feeling blah.

OMS member Loving Life (like a boss) Joined: 05/04/08 Location: the abstract Posts: 9,129	To be honest, and don't take this the wrong way...it is going to be nice not hearing about concerts you didn't go to for just a little while. No regrets of money spent that should have gone to bills. Even fans need a break sometime.

MrPezman member Joined: 11/10/08 Location: Las Vegas Posts: 696	Man, after the Las Vegas show, I was so speechless that I had to sit there for a good while after people started leaving. This was my first show, regrettably, since I'm such a fan, but I'm also broke most of the time, so I had to miss a lot! I really hope he releases an official video of the whole show so that I can replay it every once in a while and enjoy some nostalgia. Who else went to the last show? I was up in the balcony, and since I quit drinking, I'd gotten some water, but as I was getting back to my seat, I spilled a bit on this one chick in the I row. Where were you guys at, row, seat?
