I've been caught stealing;

I enjoy stealing.
It's just as simple as that.

(Who doesn't enjoy that?)

LMAO I'm not a big Janes fan, but I love that song

Well, that way they can see the 10:00pm showing of the Star Trek movie....right?

Gives Trent time to change into his Vulcan costume.

LOL, I'd dress Vulcan if I had the ears, too. Everyone from that show should dress Vulcan for it - wouldn't that be cool?

In a way I'm really sad to see no STL date, but on the other hand I'm glad since I'm so poor right now that no matter what the price of the tickets, I'd likely have to really scrimp by for a long time just to be able to go. Wanted to do some video work and post it for fans. But, I guess I can always look for other fans footage, edit it and post it for others to enjoy.

I don't really care about the band order too much, but imagining the flow of the show with this line up in this order is strange - curious to see how that will work out, you know? Interesting.

I plan to stick and see Jane's Addiction but I feel a lot of fans will simply leave after NIN and that would be sort of disheartening to JA.

I think it will totally depend on the city.

I saw Jane's here in Toronto at large arena and there were probably 14,000 at the show, a few years later promoting that shitty album they did two shows at a large theatre with a combined attendance of probably 4,000.

Then again that was several years ago, who knows.

I really hope a large part of the audience stays, because Jane's are a fantastic live band, but I'll be in the pit, so if the other 17,000 in the seats behind me don't care to get the most out of their expensive tickets, fuck em.

Put it this way: I'm not a huge Jane's fan, and I'm not one of those people who suddenly claimed to be an O.G. Jane's fan as soon as this tour was announced. I never disliked them, just never really got into them beyond the hit songs everybody knows. However, I ended up going to see them play a small club here a few months ago, and it was one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. You guys really should at least give them a chance, even if you think you don't like them. Sometimes seeing a band live can make you appreciate their music in a whole new way. And to people who seem to think the pit for JA will be a bunch of hippies waving lighters... yeah, okay. You keep thinking that.

Please see above if you're referring to me with the "hippies waving lighters" phrase...sorry to derail, but I do truly appreciate Jane's and would never want to imply any inherent hippy connection with such a great band.

Everyone will be suprised about how many people are still gonna be at any show after NIN's performance. JA still has a huge fan base and there are people out there who would kill to see them again. Plus the fan base for JA will surprise you as well in the pit and how the pit might just be. I know I was suprised when I saw STP here in Chicago last May and surprised as to how the pit was.

People need to stop bitching. We get NIN, and then JA closes. It's not like JA is Nickleback or anything, they're fucking great. This will be a great tour, and I can't wait to enjoy every second of the Toronto show.

"Chicago show times (SO STOP BUGGING ME ABOUT THIS) Doors: 7 SSSS: 8 NIN: 9"

Okay, now that I look at this again..... since that 10 pm ordinance is in effect, we only get 1 hour of NIN? Just wondering.

Sure does...."great" isn't it? All these people bitching that JA is closing (Id kill to see them live) and Chicago doesn't even get a full set + no JA.

Chicago fans have been questioning these times for just this reason...and by the artist...this is considered "bugging him" ....thanks....no really.

Like Trent is going to join people on the lawns. *face palm*

Don't hold your breath.

With the way people are talking about "leaving" after NIN, he just might. LOL, yeah I doubt it too.

Chicago will get an even longer than usual set so QUIT YOUR FUCKING BITCHING ABOUT THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT.

Keep in mind an awful lot of thought has gone into this decision - certainly MUCH more than most of the comments here. The beauty of the situation is this: if you want to leave, LEAVE. Nobody's forcing you to stay - go home.
The show NIN is going to play is the exact opposite of LITS. The sets will be truly varied, there's no production limitations and we know a LOT of material now. I wanted play first, and I wanted to start the set in daylight. If you're here reading and frothing on this board, you're likely a fan. You've likely seen us recently - this is a chance to see something quite different. JA is not bigger than us and we're not bigger than JA - this is an issue of respect and simply WHAT I WANT TO DO because I do have a master plan here. Open up your minds for a second and lay off the knee-jerk reactionary bullshit for a second - it's embarrassing for all of us.

See. Keep pissing the man off. And people are seriously wondering why he's "taking some time off"

SWEET, THE RUMORS I'VE BEEN HEARING ARE TRUE

I was worried somewhat that this would happen. I figured that because JA and NIN are kind of at par with each other, having been established around the same time and the tour being NIN/JA (rather than NIN/JA/SSSC) that NIN may not be the last band playing.

It does suck to a good degree for NIN fans:

1-We're used to seeing them play last and having that build-up of anticipation for it through the opening acts.
2-As has been mentioned before, this means they'll be playing mostly in daylight-this is actually something of a mixed bag-for people wanting to photograph/film the show, taking advantage of the lax camera policy it's actually kinda GOOD.

Video capturing in-particular needs good lighting-I remember at the LitS shows being pissed off because my digital camera would stop recording when things got too dark-making capturing a video of "Vessel" impossible because every other second the stage was black. Still photography also benefits-use of flash is less required, and it can often lead to over-exposed results at close range with most standard cameras. Really, darkness can be a bitch when trying to photograph things in general so like I said it's actually somewhat beneficial.

On the downside of course the light show isn't quite as impressive. Sure, as people have mentioned it probably won't be anywhere near LitS-scale, but given NIN's overall track record it should still be something interesting to watch. One might consider however that things will be adjusted appropriately to be optimized for daylight conditions-although they may also need to take potential cloud-cover into account. Well anyway at least the music will be good. The other aspect of it happening during the day that's kinda sucky is just the ambiance of it-NIN has a lot of songs centering around darker themes and yet it could be a bright and wonderful sunny day. Actually, another thing to consider is how the different venues are situated in relation to the sun since it would be more or less in the process of setting as the set goes on. Okay, I'm thinking aloud a bit here. lol

Anyway, I think it'll be alright and Jane's Addiction has really started to grow on me. I even downloaded their full album (Nothing's Shocking) for Rock Band 2 today and it's pretty fun to play. I'm sort of wondering though if they're going to play anything from Strays because I actually think that's a pretty good album if a bit different from their earlier material. I'd really like to see them play "True Nature" and/or "Just Because".

90 minutes is the exact same lenght of the previous summer amphitheatre tour in 2006. 25 songs... It's just like LITS without the YZ/Ghosts sequences. As long as the setlists are varied, I'll be 100% satisfied.

Fuck I knew I should of gotten lawn seats...

-this way I can join you on the lawn after my show and watch one of my favorite bands every night.

I was initially griping about lawn seats because neither my boyfriend or I can afford regular tickets, but now I'm even more excited. We didn't get to chill with NIN at Denny's the last time we saw them, so it will be interesting to see if we can dance with Trent while JA plays!

FYI, you can probably mosey on up to the lawn after NIN plays. There were times when I had closer seats and friends had lawn seats, and I was able to go to the lawn to chill with them for a little bit. There's no harm in trying. (:

word...Probably will try..

I have 400s, unfortunately, so it wont be a long walk..

Which show are you going to? We're still undecided, but we are getting lawn tickets.

toronto..

Wow, your location says NY, so that's quite a trip! I'd love to turn this into a road trip, but we (the boyfriend and I) are tight on money, at the moment. Enjoy!
