Chicago, IL
Aragon Ballroom
...I feel a tap on my shoulder and figure it is someone in my group needing something. I turn around to see a security guy telling me I need to sit down! My response “Are you fucking kidding me?” He says “No, people back here can't see” I said “Its a concert man, you can't honestly expect me to sit down” He launches into some bullshit about how these people paid for a ticket and they want to be able to see the show too. Mind you these people were SITTING DOWN. How the hell can you sit at a NIN show? The security guy kept on and on about me sitting and I told him “I'm not sitting down its a general admission show- these people could have sat anywhere they wanted, it isn't my fault they didn't get up to the balcony faster than someone else.”

I was right behind you, man, and we were NOT sitting down. Everyone was standing, and couldn't see shit because your 6'6" ass was pretending to be an orchestra conductor, writing around like a maniac.

I can speak for EVERYONE behind you when I quote the guy standing next to me: "I hope that tool rocks out so hard he falls off the balcony and gets the fuck out of the way."

Here's a note of common courtesy: If you're six and a half feet tall, with the best seat in the house, don't STAND UP, and then proceed to spread your arms out for the course of the entire show. It ruins the night for everyone else.

I'm 6'1" but thanks for the kind words nonetheless. I hoped you moved instead of just standing there bitching all night about it. I saw plenty of balcony sections that people were more than happy to sit down and watch the show. To each his or her own I suppose.

So I gave all I had back as appreciation for what I was witnessing, I was connecting with the show on the most primal level.. "acting like a maniac" as you said. I fully appreciate your stance, but since you could have sat anywhere you wanted.. it seems fairly petty to complain when you could have found someplace else to go if I was "annoying you." Looking down from my vantage point form the balcony-- on the back of the floor right next to the soundboard were people milling around with their beers. Best sound in the venue, hands down. But I can't apologize for getting into the show, in my own way.

Nobody should have 2 apologize for expressing themselves at what might have been the last NIN show...?? (or any show that you love, for that matter) Way to be a jerk and hope that someone would get seriously hurt...really? You shouldn't even have been there if you don't know how to behave @ a concert or apparently in the general public. Maybe it was your first concert, it sure sounds like it. If so, I guess you just didn't know. General admission means you...YOU,yourself, chooses where to sit/stand, it's YOUR (this is YOU again, numero uno, star player, look in the mirror) own fault that you had a bad time.

I'm a girl, 5'8", and I was in the dead center of the pit. I was punched, knocked down, stepped on...and had PLENTY of tall fuckers in front of me, and I had an AMAZING time. Wouldn't trade it for anything!

Same here. I am 5'7" and at the Chicago show in May I was stuck in the land of rampaging giants, but I had a fantastic time. It was actually my 2nd favourite NIN concert.

Can you post your videos at MegaUpload or as a torrent or something like that? I would shit the bed if I could download all of your awesome videos.

Lex, try this out! I use it all of the time to save stuff from YouTube!!

That's pretty damn cool, but I haven't shit my bed yet so it's not cool enough. I'm still hoping for some download action as to avoid the lo-rez tendencies of YouTube. Shit, none of this will matter once we get the "true" footage from Sheridan and Co. I've been wondering what's going to happen with that.

The internets are a series of tubes.
