I wasn't really on planning to add Burgettstown PA to my tour belt notch because of obvious reasons. One it's a amphitheatre type setting (don't care for the great outdoor venue style & and I tend to lose track of where I park, and the weather) and typically amphitheatres are usually smackdab in the middle of where the fuck iz I territory. So after driving to PennsiWVOhiotucky I drove up after waiting for the parking lot to open at 5pm. I parked and walked around waited in line heard NIN & SSSC warm up which was cool...b/c that the reason why I added this date to my iternary the whole Vegas mishap of SSSC not being on the bill @ the Palms and canceling their show @Wasted Space put me in a sour mood. So fast-forward to 6/10/09. All I have to say is Street Sweeper Social Club aint a band they a Social Club they rocked my eyes off.
Then the opening act came on and they were playing their asses off, seriously, usually opening bands suck hot buttered balls. I think I burned like 20 calories bust a move to this band. I'm happy to hear a repeat of the songs played in Vegas personally its always a treat to hear Somewhat Damaged. Words can not express how happy not to hear closer yea I would of bumrushed the stage and gave trent my blk amex if he didnt perform hurt, but I'm just telling how I feel dont kill the first amendment. Didn't do presale or pit for this show good thing I didnt I was not in the mood to be crushed by sweaty folks in those humid conditions since my head was acting up hence I was wearing sunglasses throughout nin's set. I like how trent was this song is better performed in the dark so just imagine that its night time or something along those lines, to me it is dark mofo I'm wearing shades I noticed that JMJ was groovin a bit more and Robin kept turning around for the people behind him that were a thoughtful gesture!
Those lights are fueled by some radioactive electrode for reals, I almost tweeked out man. Excellent seats from livenation site section 2 row H seat 23 couldnt complain. There was a middle-aged dude setting in front of me from Akron he was cool chatting it up wishing that nin will do a secret ultra relaxed stripped down show in cleveland. Two dudes on the right of me that were there for Janes they were almost I think they were from NY they were awesome. Overall great SHOW (JA, NIN, SSSC) glad I battled the crazyass turns of PennsiWVOhiotucky in the fog, I swear I thought I saw my life flash before my eyes a time or two driving back home. Therefore, I wave good-bye to the best opening act ever! Hope that trent when he get recharged create more ghosts like material perform solely that material live and even have performance dancers for some of the shows and collaborate with DEP and ISIS in the near future | |

This show was by far my favorite concert, and at my ripe age of 17, I've been to at least 20, maybe 30. Fuckin' great show. I was in lawn, because it was all I could afford...but that didn't matter. Still doesn't. I'm just glad I FINALLY got to see my favorite band live. The only thing that kinda hurts, and made this concert more...bittersweet, for lack of a word was the fact that this was my first NIN concert. My first and my last NIN concert, all in one show. Kinda sad, if one thinks about it. HANYWAY...I went with my (44 year old) father, as his ticket was his Father's Day gift from me. He adores NIN
Because I was in lawn, I dealt with the Idiot Brothers moshing and being fools (and eventually throwing up)...BUT WE ENDED UP GETTING A FREE UPGRADE TO SEATS BECAUSE OF IT, WTF?! So awesome. That alone almost renewed my faith in livenation. Almost. All in all, great fucking show. | |

Ok I'm lazy so I'm just going to copy everything I said on ETS:
"Killaya" posted: I got to the venue at 1:30 AM after her and then the twins showed up and we all hung out before taking naps. Luckily I brought the meathead fun book and a pillow case that I "borrowed" from the motel and we decorated them. So here is Kayley and me brainstorming on what to put on the pillow case and then we saw his depressing tweet and was like "ok let's put 'stay positive' and hope he doesn't get mad at us" 
HAHA! So luckily he liked it, which really made this concert special for me.  I bothered Rob and we showed him the pic we colored and he laughed! He then said he'd give them to the band, which later that night he uploaded the 'zombie rob' pic to twitter. I do have on video of Trent pointing to me at the end of the band introductions: [www.facebook.com] If it doesn't work, it will be on youtube soon!
I always have a great time with fans before the show and it was great to have such a awesome crowd surrounding me. Except for the dipshits who were yelling at TR during 'Hurt'. But I'd like to thank the chick who was behind me who took a blow to the head (trying to protect me) by a crowdsurfer, she didn't have to do that. I LOVED hanging with Killaya and "the twins" and it was great meeting Moebius, Erin, the nice people from Rhode Island, and everyone else in the presale line pretty much rocked. Especially our shenanigans on the hill during the meet and greet. haha 
This was my 7th NIN show and it was the best way possible to end my last show. I've NEVER gotten this emotional at a concert before. I started sobbing during 'The Fragile' because that song has so much meaning to me. I then again cried though part of 'THTF', 'HLAH', and sobbed again during 'Hurt', knowing that was the last song. I didn't record as much I as I normally do, but I will have the videos up on here by sunday: [www.youtube.com] So I left the rail after NIN looking for Killaya, her brother, and her boyfriend and we met up and signed the pillow case. They left right when JA started and I went back into the pit alone. During 'Been Caught Stealing' I noticed Perry's wife was dancing in front of me. Cool haha. Then Leo walked by taking pics with his iPhone. I ended up leaving the pit during 'Ted... Just Admit It' (my favorite song) because I was just so dehydrated. So I didn't get to meet S_phoenix, which was a bummer, but I was seriously lightheaded. So I met up with my mom and we bought some more merch and left during 'Jane Says' and beat the traffic back to our motel in Pittsburgh. Then we left the next day, checked out Mercer, and drove 12 hours back to Chicago and got home at 2 AM Thursday morning. I wish I could thank the kind security guard who kept on giving us water and letting us hold our sign! He was really looking out for us. And I know he won't probably see this, but thank you Trent for the amazing shows this tour, I'm grateful I got to go to 3 in '09 (7 total) and meet you, Justin, and Ilan in Noblesville. It's been an incredible experience. | |
