I had such a blast at this show! Thank you Trent and company. The crowd was intense also, sometimes noisy or chatty but full of energy for sure. A huge thanks to Mark, if it wasn't for his generosity I wouldn't have made it to this show. I'll be forever in your debt Sir. It reminds that there are decent people out there and they happen to be NIN fans also.
 Thank you to everyone else who hit me up about a ticket. I'm glad I made it to this show instead of the Vegas one, there I would have been in seats which is ok but most of all I wouldn't give up The Frail/The Wretched being played instead of The Frail/Closer. Haha :p But really it was a good time, I loved every moment and I danced my ass off. Hopefully I'll see NIN again in whatever form they exist and if not I will die happy with the experiences I already have. Again thank you Trent, Robin, Justin, Alessandro and Josh for being who you are and doing what you do. Good luck to all of you. Next stop, the Vandals in the city. owww!!! | |
JessicaSarahS posted: Wasn't it ridiculous!? Thank god we had great people in line to spend the whole day with while freezing our asses off! Pizza!!!! Chicken fingers and cookies galore! And yes, I wish we HAD made that trip to Walmart to get some sheets! Next time... 
But the show did make up for all the waiting! We were half way between Robin and TR. Great energy and I KNOW alot of you got great footage!! I wish I had not forgotten my camera back in L.A.! I have to say I liked the show better than the Vegas one the next night. Maybe it was because I was on rail, but I thought the energy of the band and the crowd were just in synch! And THANK YOU to the NIN Security and the Arco security. I swear like 60 crowd surfers came over my head. Did anyone else see the one guy who got pulled out like three times? Yes, I am SO THRILLED he came back to surf for that third time, because he CLOCKED me right in the back of my head! But whatever, no harm done, and it was worth it to be on rail for what, the last time??!! BUT WAIT, what was it he said in Vegas???..."but you never know with me..." (in reference to touring past 2009). JessicaSarahS, primary1 and Rienforme...I miss you guys already! I am glad we were able to go on rail all together this time!

1Kali3 posted: The only thing bad here, was the COLD(and COMPLETELY lost security personnel-but that's another story)! The show was AWESOME. Per usual. And I agree with you Kali - this was better than the Vegas show the night after.....everything seemed perfect(except waiting in the cold until 7:30-but that's also another story). And the audience was great too....I really enjoyed meeting people in the line. Cstules--nice to meet you! and everyone else....it really made waiting in line 12 hours much nicer! This was simply a great show--great energy, great performance - simply outstanding. It breaks my heart that not many people caught this tour. If only people knew what they were missing .... AND I want to shout out to my peeps 1Kali3, JessicaSarahS and Primary1!! I just love you guys...I had so much fun with you here and in Vegas! Thank you! And thank you, Trent...for the music, the wonderful shows and for giving me a reason to meet these FABULOUS women! I can't wait to do it again next year! Edited 1 time(s).

blackenedfaith posted: My friends met him too! We actually were on a different flight that landed at the same time. But we were in baggage claim and they ran into him. However, I must say that while he flew Southwest and had to pay like what?? $4.00 for his Coke Zero (or maybe they are free these days) I was (thx to Rienforme) flying First Class on US Airways! Life is good! I have to say, I just watched some of the youtube videos everyone uploaded...and they are GREAT! I do think I liked this show better than Inglewood and Oakland. BUT...not better than Toledo...primary1 back me up here!  | |
pwrstick posted: Yeah, I heard them! So disrespectful, I thought. The Ghosts are supposed to be deep and intimate, requiring thought. I don't fucking care what the drunken asses have to say. Btw my uncle was a parental supervisor for my guy friend and I, and he was leading drunk people to the bathroom xDD The concert really touched me, because I wasn't a huge fan of NIN. Now I can't stop listening! It really made me realize how amazing NIN and Trent is. | |
primary1 posted: Yes!!! For my birthday and for shows!!  I miss you guys already! BTW, where's your pics from the airport? You need to add those to your profile immediately lol.Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/16/2008 02:39PM by JessicaSarahS. | |

I know I'm "breaking the rules" by posting here
 , but I DID have 3 GA's that went unused due to "multiple travel difficulties  " (ie-plane delays on both legs of the incoming trip causing us to get into SFO at 8:45 instead of 4:45 [which made poor sagpig sit at SFO for 8 hrs getting hammered waiting for us to get there]) - - anyway, my son, daughter and sister DID get there, and were completely "blown away" by the show - - guess I shoulda known better than to expect things to go smoothly on a "full moon night" 
thanx for the input on this show - - wish we coulda made it - - but am so glad the rest of you were there "in spirit" for us - - at least we DID make it to Vegas for Sat - - the ONLY plane connection (SFO -> LAS) that actually went as planned - - and we truly missed seeing the NINer's we were looking forward to meeting - - maybe next time 'round Mark, Di, and Sage | |
JessicaSarahS posted: Hey I think I see me in that set!
Great pictures! And I know this is the wrong thread, but seeing since I was sitting next to you in Vegas and saw you filming ALOT of good stuff...I want to know where THAT video is! I wish you could come to Buddyhead...=( And did you win anything off of the voucher? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/16/2008 08:00PM by 1Kali3. | |

Nope. If Last was in there people would have been freaking out.
Jess, great photos 
I thought the crowd was lacking energy except really for the very front and the mini pit, and I was definitely worried about this considering the last sac show (although I wasn't there, I remember reading Trent's comment). I already thought the Oakland show had a less involved crowd than back in '05, but the crowd in Sac seemed to be standing around even more. Overall though the crowd was appreciative and I think at least this came across. Now that someone mentioned it I do remember thinking that Trent's voice wasn't sounding as fresh, but all the songs still sounded great. JMJ seemed more involved for sure. O and Josh at the end of Piggy was pretty awesome. Was with some first timers, and thus I hung out a little farther back than usual, but they really enjoyed themselves and said it was far beyond their expectations. | |
