The Wretched
Down In It
Reptile

'nough said.

Well, that and my I fucking had to switch memory cards for my crapy digital video camera in the middle of Down In It. So I will be posting a video for that with a message in the middle explaining the sad scenario.

It was a minor dissapointment that "Me, I'm Not" was not played. But visually it's not all that different from "The Warning".

I'd post some pictures and video but my mom wants me to go to sleep soon 'cause we're going to the zoo tommorow (saying that makes me feel a bit like a child in a 24-year-old's body).

Also, I'm not sure if she's on these forums but the gal who was sitting next to me complimented me on this like mexican "Day of the Dead" bead band that I had around my right wrist. I just got it from the arcade at the Mall of America earlier that day. lol

I was also the guy who scream "Thank you Trent!" when they started playing "The Wretched".

Okay so maybe The Wretched Down In It Reptile was not enough said for me. It was pretty sweet to be staying at the Radisson just a couple blocks away from the Venue. Met a couple dudes in the elevator who were also at the show.

Anyway, gotta wrap this up now, copy and paste it to Echoing the Sound and then turn in for the night.

I'll be able post some of my stuff tommorow morning, hopefully.

That was an amazing show - my ears are still ringing (which I took a few advil for, of course)!

Thanks Trent, band & crew for the wonderful music and show!

I can't believe they played Reptile. Holy Bejezzus I screamed my ass off when I heard it start. And that was the loudest Head Like a Hole I've ever heard. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, beats that song live!!! The energy was off the chart.

Fucking awesome!!!!

Thank you NIN, light and sound crew, and the road crew for bringing this beast of burden to the twin-shitties!

The crowd was awesome too! It was my first time on the floor at the Target Center. The place looked much smaller from down there... No worries though, crazy dials were set to max.

But a special thanks to all you crazy bastards in the pit! You know who you fuckers are!

Peace out NIN-ers!!

P.S. Did anyone notice during Survivalism that there were people having sex in the bathroom on the video screen? Me and friends had a good laugh at that one!

I don't think it was possible to miss that! Haha.

I loved Boris! Their music seemed kinda trippy and I like it. I especially liked the gong. I think every band should have a gong.

Yeah that was pretty awesome. I got tons and tons of video footage, even though, a particular security guard made it clear to me that I was not allowed to take videos. I clearly took them anyway. And I am soo glad that I did. Those pre-sale seats were great.

THE MOST AMAZING SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! the visuals were absolutely amazing!!!! I got one of Robin Finks water bottles!!! i was right in the front row and it was fucking amazing!!!

I was secretly hoping for "Vessel", but honestly, I'm completely satisfied with the set list we got. The light show was amazing, the performances were inspired, and if that's the kind of show we get after a 4-month postponement, feel free to postpone anytime.

I hope the band had as great a time as I did. That would only be justice. I know Minneapolis in late November isn't anybody's idea of a dream visit (although the weather behaved admirably for this time of year), but thank you for coming back, and thank you for giving us your A+ game. Wow. I've been to several NIN shows, but tonight's really, really raised the bar.

I totally missed the bathroom thing. Robin Finck was blocking *my* view. That's okay, though. After the 8 kajillion-candlepower lighting on the stage, I was surprised I could see anything.

O.K.- great show obviously. I definitely was NOT expecting Down In It!!! I have nothing to add to the greatness of the show that's been already said. My first problem is my ears are NOT ringing- I guess that's what I get for sitting in 136.

Only minor quibbles was no LED sticks during TBCD (not the biggest of deals), and what the fuck happened to The Hand That Feeds? Also- Target Center may want to ask for their millions of dollars back regarding the "acoustic upgrades". It didn't sound bad, didn't sound great- I wouldn't have noticed a difference either way. Also, can someone clear up for me the visuals for "Terrible Lie"? I swear there was no real time feedback to the LED screens during the song as there normally is, but maybe it was just the angle I was at.

With all that being said- WOW!!! for the crowd. The place was freaking packed!!! I was thinking a lot less of a show up and glad I was completely wrong!

I completely forgot to mention how awesome it was to see Finck playing in the lineup live again. He's always been my favorite guitar player from any lineup. There's a bit in AATCHB where he does this spiderlike shimmy (fucked if I can remember what song right now) and it always gets me, it just seems so perfect. He's got this great attitude on stage.

Now if only we could get Vrenna back on drums someday.

Regardless, Finck rocked.

And Leo, that's a great freakin pic.

Remarkable concert.

The setlist was perfect imo. Had a good mix of everything, new and old. Head Down and In this Twilight were two songs that I really wanted to hear from the new albums, and they played them both! Cluuutch.

I did not expect Down in it and Reptile though, WOW! That reptile performance was the best I've seen anywhere. The Wretched was amazing as well.

This was worth the wait Trent!

He said he was sorry about the hassle (this was a rescheduled date from when he was sick in August).

No falsetto again (Closer, TBCD, In This Twilight, etc.), Trent I'm worried.
