Agree the crowd's energy wasn't the same as that of the May NIN/JA show...but then again, I was in the pit for the May show and at the back of the floor for Friday's show. My girl friend and I were the chicks with the big boots and lots of tattoos!

Chicks with big boots and lots of tattoos? there were lots of those :p

If it wasn't for "Closer" there would have been no Wave Goodbye tour. Why do Closer, Terrible Lie, Down in it get the best crowd response and why are the played 90% of the time? Because they are the best songs.

If you have seen NIN ten times and they've played the songs 90%, you have to sit through Closer 9 times. A few short of a million. You can stick it out a few minutes to let the majority of the fans hear what they want.

Saw quite a few people who were reliving 1994 too, or never left it.

I was poking fun at the old NIN look, thank you! :p (all black, fishnet shirt, corn starch).
If you were talking about someone else, my bad.

Also, wanted to post a pic real quick that my friend took saturday. Wore the same look, but left the fishnet shirt out saturday.



More after I get home and sleep.

hey, I remember you... me and my girlfriend were in line right behind you and your friend waiting for hours and eating shitty chicago corn in a cup... how was the saturday show?

This show was honestly the worst Nine Inch Nails show I have seen. Set list was typical. The venue was extremely hot and the sound was awful. Crowd was full of drunken frat guys. Also, Peter Murphy is a punishment to the crowd. I feel so sorry for anyone that ended up going only to this Chicago show.

On the other hand, the show on Saturday was easily one of the top shows I have seen (minus the same drunk frat guys and Peter Murphy).

Also, what is with the health care reform people accosting people as they are walking through the doors or spending $30 for a NIN t-shirt? I know Trent is now preaching his political views, but I really don’t want to be solicited the shows. I don’t think it is right to try and take advantage of the fans. I really don’t want the government, Trent, or any person I saw at the venue in charge of my healthcare or any other aspect of my life.

Wasn’t this the same Trent that wrote songs about the dangers of government in Year Zero? Now that the political parties have changed (really just in name), he wants the government to be in charge of one of the most intimate things in our lives? Don’t trust republicans, don’t trust democrats, and never trust the government.

take the negativity somewhere else. this show was great better than Saturday imo. and this was the only show my brother got to go to and since he's only into NIN pre fragile he didn't like the Saturday setlist as much as friday's and I agree with him. c'mon if you only went to the saturday show you would have missed out on classics such as last, closer, down in it, terrible lie. plus they opened with wish which was awesome cuz by the time they played it on saturday i was already bored.

This was absolutely the best show I've ever been to. NIN kicks ass live and I have an unbelievable sense of respect for them now (more than I had already) for their incredible sound, energy, and showmanship for their performance. I was about 25 people back, and got a lot of video, basically the entire concert. I'll post whenever I can for that. If anyone has the audio of the show on a torrent (the one posted no longer has seeds) I'd be really happy. I do have to thank everyone who posted their videos, photos, and the set-list. It made me smile to look back on this and see all of everyone's stories. I feel so lucky to have seen NIN before it is all over. Again, incredible show. Unbelievable.
