Either greatest or second greatest show I've seen (This or 94 Woodstock.).
Got there 6PM. got to the 2nd row. Great to see no barracade, surfers on the stage, etc-the good old days. Too fucking bad that you waited 31 hours(totally pointless) and the crowd pushed and the barracade was weak... It was crowded. It was a Nails show, not sesame Street. Still it was no where near as rough as the early 90s, but it had that feel. Phenomenal energy and Trent seemed to be having too much fun to shut it down. So much better than the Ninja venues.Hell yeah. See ya tomorrow. Happiness in slavery one of these nights? Great great night.Thanks Trent.  | |
BONZO7822 posted:Roarbitz is refering to the barricade that blocked off the middle section of the stage inbetween the two crates from the crowd(Trent ran over to one crate constantly). I'll say this it's very frustrating to have to go through a show wondering where JT's feet and hands are placed so that he doesn't accidently do damage to a knee when pushes it along with the barricade back which is painful or you accidentily elbowing his in the hand because you don't realize it's there. Along with all this there is worrying about what part of the rail you actually can cling to because the leg spots are blocked by shoes(many of which times the aren't just on the rail but your leg/thigh/whatever) and JT puts his hands on the rail every so often to gain more leverage leaving not many hand grips. It wasn't JT's fault, it was a safety issue, and he was being very nice about it, but that doesn't change the fact the it distracted a great deal from the show, especially at first. Really up until THTF when I just said fuck it and stood there with nothing to hang onto. Though if I would have done that earlier I would have been swept back and made the waiting pointless. That's what made this show disheartening and dissapointing to me. Hours upon hours of waiting, hurricane bill and all, excitement building because you know your going to score a good seat at a great small venue and then the let down of not even getting to pay attention to a great deal of the show beause of some messed up planning. Which granted probably only ruined it for me and Bre since that was where Todd and JT were decided to make there efforts. Buy still we paid money to enjoy the show and actually be able to watch it. THTF's and HLAH were awesome thought! I'm not using my camera ever again on those two! (alright that's probably a lie, but it was fun this time because there was no point in trying to take pics when you couldn't hold on to anything to get a stable shot...surfers were a bitch to trying to keep a spot and not get hit with not much to hang onto). However those two songs and some that followed were great fun...for me idk about Bre since she was getting the crush from both sides at that point. Sandwiched between the thrust of the crowd and the shove of the barricade backwards like a little sardine. Anyways that's the short of it from my iPhone so excuse the errors.  | |

i didn't have a ticket and just waited outside all day. A bouncer was kind enough to let small groups of people in later during the show. I got in during Survivalism, and had a blast for the 9 songs i was in for
 .
Totally awesome...'cept for those loud bitches in the back | |
