Hey yall. I posted this over in the LITS video projects section as well cause I don't really know where it belongs, but I thuoght I'd mention it here as well.

I have over an hour of HD footage from this show and really want to share it, except I don't know how to video edit and YouTube only allows videos under 10 minutes. The audio and video quality, for the most part, is perfect and it would really be a shame if I didn't get to share it.

If anybody is interested in helping out just hit me up with a PM or whatever.

Fuck youtube. Put it up as a torrent or put it up at Megaupload.

(I better go find the bed because I think that I'm prairie-doggin. . . .)

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.

Try being 5'3" on the floor, struggling to see, getting thrown in mosh pits and praying the crazy drunk high guy next to you doesn't accidentally head butt you in the face. Aside from the fact that it was AWESOMEEEEEEE, don't bitch.

Okay, now that I've had time to digest this show.... I still don't have much to say. I think I've finally accepted the fact that NIN's done touring (for now at least)- this show was the best closure anyone could ask for.

Great meeting some people who I've never gotten to meet before, both at Friday and Saturday's shows (Staci, KayCee, Skye, Ashley, Jack-E, etc) and see old friends too. I MISS YOU ALL HORRIBLY. I couldn't have asked for a better group to experience my last show with.

This was my 9th show, and ever since the beginning, I've wanted to see two songs: The Way Out Is Through and Mr. Self Destruct. When they made it back into rotation during the NIN|JA tour, I was so excited. Didn't see them in Clarkston or Burgettstown. Then these two Chi shows gave me one last chance. When I didn't see either song on the first night, I had given up hope. So obviously when TWOIT started on Saturday night, I completely lost my fucking shit at the rail, and then when Mr. Self Destruct came up later in the show.... I swear to god, either Trent read my mind or the planets were aligned.

We were on the rail in front of Robin again, same spot as the night before- to the nice guy who was standing behind me and decided to do the bracing at the rail for me because my knees had been fucked up the night before, if you're reading this, thank you so much!!! It was a pleasure to rail with you.

I also met Robin (FINALLY!) after the show, which was pretty much the highlight of my entire life.

Thank you NIN for the best weekend ever.

Some people I just don't understand, a true fan should be able to enjoy a concert like this without being completely drunk.
