A few corrections on the setlist

18. Dead Souls
19. Suck
20. Get Down, Make Love
21. Down In It
22. Hurt
23. The Hand That Feeds
24. Head Like A Hole

im pretty sure that is how it went at the end

First off. this was my first NIN concert and i have to say, that was the best concert i have ever seen....the light fence or whatever you call it was awesome...The speech after dead souls was very nice, he was talking about how 5 years ago he wanted to end up dead and how he changed...the crowd was into it the whole night...only thing that i didnt like was the pot heads sitting next to me smoking pot during the first half of the show, but other wise it was fantastic..

my god...

I saw Nails at MSG in november, and this show completely destroys that one. The band had tremendous energy tonight and rocked throughout. On TOP of that! The crowd was awesome! No assholes in sight!

Amazing. Not much else I can say.

bauhaus:

double dare
in the flat field
a god in an alcove
she's in parties
adrenaline
severance
silent hedges
endless summer of the damned
in fear of fear
rosegarden funeral of sores
stigmata martyr
bela lugosi's dead

i'm so very glad mr. murphy was a bit more spry on stage, for when i caught bowhouse at nokia in december, he had the personality and presence of a dead fish. good to see him back to his old tricks...

i believe that peaches joined bauhaus on stage to stand in a long gothic gown atop one of the amps... a nice touch. also, pm took to the rose routine, handing them out on staffs to the crowd, and tossing them all over ash and j. trent made a comment during NIN about it.

an extra beefed out set tonight, seemed like a few extra treats ((dead souls AND gtml AND hurt AND down in it, etc)). i was in the middle and to the left, but still enjoyed it immensely. the whole experience troumped the hammerstein one, and i was even front row centre for that!

This show rocked! I had the best time tonight. It was my first NIN show and I was not disappointed. Every song they performed was a song that I loved (Er-could have done without "Burn", though) and I was totally mezmerized by the stage set/lights/visuals, everything. During the show TR made a comment along the lines of, "Just one smash after another." I believe he said this as they were beginning to play "Down in It"- anybody who was at the show, please feel free to correct me on that. The crowd was awesome and really into it.

Bauhaus was great. Got to hear "Double Dare" so I was happy about that. Peaches was a treat. I thought she sounded great live and would have liked to hear more songs from her.

All in all, this was one kick-ass concert.

So, I was in Orch H, row JJ--did anyone see that old woman totally rocking out all night? She was pretty freaky. Peaches was pretty good too, I was hoping she would come over to where I was when she climbed off the stage and was walking around the audience area.

So I put my camera in my boot to get it in, and when the guy pats me down, he feels it in there and asks me if it's just the boot. I say it is, and he says it doesn't feel right and asks me to lift up my pant leg. My heart's beating a mile a minute, but I stay calm and do it. Luckily the camera was under my sock (right next to my ankle) and I guess he didn't see it, as he just said "okay, thanks" and let me go in.

Bauhaus was really good, I'm going to look into getting some of their CDs now--those last few songs were really good, anyone know what that song was towards the end where it was a slow beat and the lead singer was doing a chant, and then the beat kept speeding up faster and faster? I have a video of it it that would help.

And now, pics:

WHAT A SHOW!

I got there quite late. I think Bauhaus was on their second song. They definitely sounded better here than they did at PNC. Only watched a couple of songs from them though and walked around for a little bit.

I saw Rob walking around on the stage a little bit with his camera seemingly plotting some shots or something. This was about 5 or 10 minutes before NIN came on (15 minutes earlier tonight at 9:15) I went to find my seat, which to my surprise had SUCH a fucking obstructed view! I was in the Orchestra (C) but I was all the way to the right of the row (K). There was a huge amp that basically blocked Trent anytime he would play something on keyboards and Aaron a couple of times throughout the show. That had me thinking that the show would be ruined for me. Well... I was fucking wrong. Best fucking NIN show I've ever been to. It was just so perfect that I can't even go into detail. Blew PNC out of the water. I actually stayed till the very end of this one. Aaron ran to the edge of the stage (struggling with a bunch of wires) by the water and just chucked his guitar in the water. Me and a couple of other people were seriously contemplating jumping in there but unfortunately security was on top of it. The show ended at 11 on the spot.

Unfortunately I didn't get a litho :(
I think this show I'm just gonna get a framed picture thing and not bother with trying to find a litho. Great, great fucking show. I'm gonna be fucking talking about it for weeks.

The show amazing! The visuals blew my mind... The effects used for Closer were so unique. This show is one that I'd recommend seeing a bit farther back in order to be able to get the full effect of the lighting. I've been to other NIN concerts, but the visuals of this one blow the others away.

I was expecting to not really like the opening acts, but I was actually pretty entertained by them. Peaches was walking on the metal rail with the security guard holding her hand. Bauhaus is really an energetic band, and Peter Murphy was strutting around the entire time.

NIN, of course, was amazing. I too was pleasantly surprised with the set list. Everyone in the audience seemed to be really into it as well. Well, except for the insane amount of text messaging that was going on, but beyond that, the audience was great.

pretty sweet show. best setlist i've ever seen them play. highlights include into the void, big come down, dead souls, down in it, and get down make love.

i think i liked the msg show more, but the was probably due to my seat being pretty far off to the side [section d].

i'm kinda tired of hearing trent talk about that 5 year ago stuff. i feel like he's said it so many times arleady that it has lost its impact on me.

Loved the show. Get Down Make love? If they somehow fitted Happiness and Last into that, it would be the perfect setlist. On a side note the tailgating was fun too, I baked out my car with my freind before coming in, so I hope whoever was complaining about "those potheads", because by the time we got to our seats we were on cloud 9. I forgot to buy a litho, FUCK.

Awsome show, it was my fourth one and I loved this one just as much as the famed house of shit concert in Atlantic city. Me and my friend were also sitting in the obstructed view in section c (row f) but we had no problem because it gave us full access to see our man Aaron who we (ok just me) scream like teenage girls every time he comes near. We thougt that maybe just maybe he would give us the guitar but no of course he had to just destroy it. I love him. Tonight was so much better than last night, the band seemed so much more alive tonight, and the preformance of the big comedown was glorious. I saw this sober for the first time and was still able to rock out as hard as ever. I was surprised and happy about that. set list was superb. would of have liked to hear sicnh one more time but I loved the show so much. My section needed a little more energy though. I guess it's hard when there are seats and no pitt. Bauhaus was awsome. Peter Murphy was a king. he was so creepy. I was happy and disturbed and I loved his voice. And will sombody tell me, WAS that peaches up there being all weird at the end of the set? What was she doing? Loved this show can't believe it's over. What now????

My friend and I were sitting in section orchestra C and if anybody there would have looked up at the upper right hand corner of the stage at that little VIP section they had setup on both sides with the semi-see through black curtain over it during Bauhaus, you would have seen:

1) Trent came in, took off his jacket, looked at the crowd, sat down, but then took off which I think he might have went to the other side, but the smoke blocked my view

2) Jeordie was up there sitting next to some girl

3) Aaron who was talking with Gideon Yago from MTV and I'm about 95% it was Gideon Yago

4) Saul Williams which did anybody else see him walking around before Peaches started in a purple t-shirt with a black leather jacket on?


I saw NIN in Philly and Atlantic City and this was by far the best show for me since I could see Trent and company the whole time. I finally saw Aaron and how he whips his guitar around. Jeordie goes crazy with the headbanging and there's something about Trent when he's up there alone playing the piano that's mesmorizing.

Peaches was alright. I wouldn't buy her albums, but she was entertaining. She said thanks for not spitting on me or telling me to fuck off at the end of her set. Bauhaus was pretty cool. He had some really odd movements, but I liked Peter Murphy and his vampire-like ways.

Overall, NIN was fuckin awesome and I hope Trent goes on tour sooner than later again. I'm really hoping for small venues with Trent and just a piano.

My head is still spinning, what an unbelievable night.
It was probably due to the fact that our seats were so much closer for this show, but despite that even, I think it blew Holmdel out of the fucking water. The energy on stage was almost overwhelming, most noteably (for me at least) during The Big Comedown--which was so good, that it was one of the best moments I've experienced in recent memory. And the set list! I thought after they played The Frail/The Wretched that they'd skip The Big Comedown, because I didn't think they'd do both--oh, but they did and I was one happy girl. I really enjoyed GDML because we missed out on it in Holmdel.
Did anyone else catch Trent kind of starting to crack up during MOTP? He really dragged out the pause when he sang now doesn't it make you feel...........<starts to laugh but trying not to>........better? I don't know what cracked him up, but I would if I saw a stadium of people hanging so intensely on my every word... Yeah, and he also gave us the little speech after dead souls, basically saying he was glad he didn't kill himself. I know he has said this a few times before, and I certainly don't speak for him, but I can see why on this night he felt like saying that--The rest of the band was completely into it, and maybe it was the fucking ocean air, I don't know, but the whole vibe was pretty magical, for lack of a better and less Disney word. That, or he's getting real good at shmoozing;-) Anyway, my friend and I were in Orch C in the third row to the right of the stage. Save for the one guy in front of me, and the two girls who only starting shrieking/dancing during Closer (hahahah), the rest of the crowd just stood there. I know it was a seated venue, but jump up and down, raise your arms, do something!!!! The guy next to me sat there with his arms crossed. Ok then, more room for me to lose it.
I guess the highlight for me was at the end. Since we were so close and to the right, I was able to walk right up to the stage next to Aaron as he was tangled in the wires trying to unplug his guitar. I couldn't believe how close I was without a horde of other people around freaking out, it was bizzare. There was no one else standing there and security didn't give me a problem. I've never been that close before, so it was actually almost cool when the solid metal end of the wire that plugs in the guitar just grazed the side of my head. I was kind of secretly hoping he'd give me the guitar, but then he threw it into the water which was way better anyway. Oh, and I enjoyed Bauhaus too, who were much better this time. Keep playing that sax dude, you rock.

I agree. I haven't been to many shows at the Jones Beach theater, but the ones that I have attended were very surreal.

This NIN show was much better that the arena stuff last time around. The lighting was outrageous.

The coolest thing about Jones Beach is having a view of everything. Aaron was walking around about a half hour pre-Peaches. He had a red shirt and gave a hug to a smart girl who parked herself right at the edge of the front row on stage left, where everyone had to walk by. She also stopped CX. I'm 99% sure Trent was walking around too...in a long-sleeved red shirt and camouflage shorts--the other 1% is questioning it because he looked so fucking huuuuge in that red shirt. He's gotta be bench-pressing the tour bus. He watched a bit of Peach's show and he briskly walked to and from the bus area during Bauhaus.

Trent didn't say anything for half the show. Then he said thank you and then said "Sincerely, thank you" and then went into a stream of words that seemed really heartfelt. He mentioned the 5-year thing, but then he went onto explain that it's a dream to be here and put together a band of amazing musicians "and good friends." Yeah, so I've heard the 5-years-on the a million times, but I ate it up. Two songs later he was singing Get Down Make Love...and there was something pretty comical about that.

The show rocked. It seemed really Alessandro-heavy. He had the make-up Zorro mask. Jeordie was head-banging; Aaron did look like he was fighting with his wires; Josh had the makings of a tiny mohawk.

I've never heard Peaches before. I can't decide if she's brilliantly cool or kind of shit, but she definitely had balls (although she mentioned that her camel toe thanked us.) It rocked that she jumped down the the audience and took the security guard's hand so she could do a little pole balance walk. Yes, she played XXX--at least I assume so because she stripped down to her hot pink bikini and wore a cape that said XXX.

Bauhaus were excellent. I was concerned about the costumes at first (did that guy have a vest with furry sleeves?!), but they were totally on point. Even the rose petal bit worked for me.

It looked like the entire band was absolutely rocking out and having an awesome time. Aaron always haves fun. We know that. He just goes ballistic, and he's amazing. Jeordie was head-banging all night. It was so cool to see him just going nuts. Alessandro was jumping on his keyboards during a couple of songs. Josh is just a machine and during burn, terrible lie, and the wretched, he was just rocking out pure and simple. And trent...well he's just Trent.

this was my second NIN show, saw them on 3/10 at the mullins center (UMASS). i loved peaches. what a nut! she was great.

i couldn't believe that the visuals were better than the last time i saw them. after reading posts about the new addition of that metal gate i was pretty skeptical, but it really was amazing. i was in section 13R, at the bottom of the stadium 1 section. i brought heavy duty binoculars with me..i wish i had better seats but again, i was still blown away. la mer > into the void was fantastic. as hackneyed as trent's 'five years ago' rant may be i still appreciated that he spoke to the audience... i ate it up.

i would have liked to hear reptile or something i can never have, but it really was a fantastic show.

Peaches did not play AA XXX. When she had the cape on she played a new song and then "Fuck The Pain Away". The only other songs I recognized by her were "Rock Show" and "Hot Rod".

She also played "Operate," which is when she walked through the crowd. Other than that and the old TEACHES OF PEACHES songs, it was a few new ones. Can't wait to see her at Roseland in July. :-)

NIN was so amazing. The best show of theirs I've seen (1 Fragility in FL, 1 With_Teeth at MSG).

this show, for me, has become the yardstick against which all future NIN shows will be measured.

all the proper components were in place.

loved the sentimentality. You always know you caught a great show when Trent's voice cracks during Hurt, in that "holding back the pain" way.

the breeze off of the ocean turned the on-stage smoke into a living, breathing, part of the experience. It seemed to sway and swirl in time with the lights.

in a word..........

UNFORGETABBLE.

Yeah, I noticed that. He knows that we are all screaming along in tempo to the CD version and get all unnerved and scared that we have it wrong for the concert. He knows how easily we can get thrown off by something like that! I think half the audience got into a nervous laugh over it.

The show was completely amazing. I think the energy was probably better than the two Hammerstein shows I saw in May, but I have such trouble seeing the band and not being able to mosh around.

Trent's talking was really cool. During the song I was like explaining to my friend that it was called Dead Souls and the chorus was all about the souls calling him . . . and then Trent started going on about how he thought he was going to be dead five years ago. I just thought it was really cool that the message of the song can still reach Trent after playing it so many times.


I really REALLY liked Aaron North's antics. He was an animal.

But - did anyone notice how sing-song the whole show was? Not only did Trent create new melodies for a couple of songs (I'm pretty sure HLAH or one of the tunes from PHM was song completely different) but Jeordie's back-up vocals were so good. He added a lot of stuff that isn't on the records that sounded awesome live. The whole band BLEW me away.

Oh yeah - that was Gideon Yago, I'm kind of embarassed to admit that I recognized him. I saw him when I was walking out . . . not as good as meeting David Byrne at the last NIN show I saw but definitely a great show all around

yeah this was my first NiN show, and i was blown away. Everyone was so energetic, NiN was full of energy...the set...of what i remember....was SO good, they hit everything.


and to the poster above, i agree the songs were cooler live...they had new features not present in the cds...i was realllly impressed.


the lighting was sick too! i was buggin out, it was so awesome... i really liked the red lighting where u saw trent as if he were lights that were out (if u sat far enough away, the effect was amazing)


i originally had alrite seats, snuck down sat in front awhile...but people came and security was checkin everyone for the joint me and my friend were smoking so we hadda peace hahaha


my original seats were right next to a wall, so the sound reverberated a bit...but i felt the bass like crazy



i loved it, it was fucking amazing.


PLEASE tell me someone bootleged it

My short review: TRENT REZNOR'S VOICE IS THE MUSICAL EQUIVALENT OF AN ORGASM. I seriously felt like I had sex last night watching this man.

My slightly longer review: To echo most everyone who has posted already, it was amazing. This was my sixth NIN show and I dare say it was the best. Non-stop energy and just overall impressive. I like the way he introduces some of the songs now - there was this crazy intro to "Burn," which is in my top five NIN songs but it actually took me a few seconds to recognize it. Hearing that, GDML and Only did it for me. The visuals were absolutely breathtaking and Trent looks fabulous. What a sexy, sexy man.

I was sitting in orch f row NN and where the vip section was (brown seats) right in front josh freese came out with someone and sat for a minute, the only reason why i recognized him because a girl went up to him and shook his hand then he left and i just turned hwen then i happended , he watched like a minute of peaches... show was awesome! loved the fact trent spoke a little more than PNC Arts, the experience totally negated getting lost and the horrific exit from jones beach.

Hey.... Maybe I'm delusional, but I just saw the new picture on nin.com.

WHAT A FUCKING SHOW!!!!!!

My first NIN show personally and it blew my fucking mind! Absolutely incredible...lost my voice after Wish but it was completely worth it.

I've seen a bunch of shows from Aerosmith to Slayer and this show was by far the best i have EVER seen. No one holds a candle to 'em, i was literally and metaphorically speechless.

Even though i didnt have the best seats in the house, it was still amazing. And my friend who isin't even a big fan of NIN went and she absolutely loved it. The whole show was amazing.

When peached changed into her hot pink bathing suit, one of the security guards behind me said, "What the hell is she wearing now?!" hehehhe,....

I hope they decide to tour again soon, because that was by far the best concert ever.

This was the 7th time I've seen NIN in the last 2 years. The show was great, I really enjoyed the setlist. I was slightly dissapointed at the lighting though being that the last time I saw them it was during the arena tour and I liked the lighting there better. Songs like Sin, Terrible Lie, The Wretched, and Wish lost some of it's punch because of the stripped down lighting. I DO however really liked how they made up for it with the gates and visuals on the back screen. The light show for Only was insane.

I really needed this show as I'm trying to get over a breakup and have been pretty miserable, and man did I need that show. A lot of songs now have new meaning to me, such as Sin.

Jeordie had the bottom of his face painted black and Alessandro had his face painted white, but with the black racoon stripe on his eyes. Alessandro was jumping up on his keyboard a lot through the show.

Musically the band sounded great and had so much energy. Aaron's guitar fucked up and wasn't working during Closer and he got pissed off. Before Dead Souls Trent made a speetch talking about how 5 years ago he was almost dead and wanted to be dead and was amazed that he's playing at Jones Beach in front of a packed crowd and it was a dream come true and he thanked us.

The Big Come Down is so amazing live, and Into The Void sounded very heavy and full. Production mishaps and changes that I saw were they now fill up the cage with the "blood" during Closer. I saw a bootleg from an earlier show and they didn't do that. Also The cage with the NIN logo was lowered after the band left, instead of being down for the song. I also noticed how they kept messing up the lights during the chorus of Only. That's it for me.

Well, this being my first ever NIN show, I have to say, I'm very very impressed. I've seen a lot of bands play and Nine Inch Nails is fucking flawless, everything ran perfectly, and I really had an awesome experience. It's always amazing to see a artist live that you've been listening to for so long, just surreal.

Peaches was fucking insanely awesome and one ballsy chick. I loved that she actually came down from the stage and song from the middle section and then went even deeper into the audience, just to get everyone engaged. And since I only know of her from her Lost in Translation track, I have to say that she blew me away. She's a great performer and to see how far she will go is just awesome (but from what I've heard she went a little tame with us, but still). She ended up thanking us "for not spitting on her or telling her to fuck off," so I'm assuming it went well. I'm definitely going to check out more of her stuff, immediately.

Bauhaus was awesome as well, I love stagey, performancey stuff and they definitely delivered. Again, it's not a band I'm very familiar with, but again, if I'm seeing someone live that I've never heard of, I leave myself open for the experience, and they definitely converted me. I'll have to back track and get into their albums. He was even handing out roses to the ladies in the front, which I'll get to the significance later on.

So yeah, Trent fucking rocks, they are all insane, fucking, crazy men and they were definitely lovin' us and feeding off of the energy. The whole night was just charged and everyone was just singing along, it was awesome to bob to the music in unison. I don't know the setlist offhand but no Reptile, or Mr. Self Destruct, but everything was well laid out, regardless. They started off with Somewhat Damaged and from then on it was all over the place and they definitely played the whole breadth of his work. They stuck everything in that show, every album made a representation, Gave Up, Wish, Suck, Down In It, Burn, La Mer/Into the Void and on and on. To here La Mer/Into the Void live was just fucking amazing and we were all just crying. And I have lighter burn from Hurt because it was slightly windy that night, but it was totally worth it.

And I nearly passed out when I heard the beginning drums for Dead Souls. I just started jumping up and down in anticipation for that one. Plus, right after Dead Souls, Trent like stopped the show and started talking to us. He was thanking us for being an awesome crowd, stuff like that. Then, he switches gears a bit and notices the rose petals left over from Bauhaus and says "I wonder who left rose petals up here" or something like that. Then he opened up to us a bit and went on about where he was 5 years ago and how he wanted to die and hated everyone and himself at that point in his life, and now he's so happy to have worked through that and make it to this point.

Then he fucking announced that "now it's time for some old shit!!" And it was full on PHM and all it's funky goodness! Just amazing! I'm done, I'm spent, Trent has ruined me. I won't be able to see anyone else now, since he's just topped it all.

Amazing show! The best of the four I've seen. I had seats in Orch C and had a great view of the stage.
I really enjoyed Peaches and Bauhaus.
NIN was incredible. Great setlist, energy, and lighting. Throwing the guitar in the water at the end was a nice touch.
Can't wait to see them again on the 23rd.

The show made the trip from Kansas City worth it. I have no complaints. There was a weird dancing woman in all pink during Bauhaus' set. I liked how when Aaron's guitar messed up during "Sin" that Trent walked over and dumped water on him... and then when Aaron's guitar messed up during "Closer" he took his rage out on a mic stand.

Great venue. Great setting. See you all next tour.

Yeah, that was amazing. My whole row just started rocking out. I love when Trent snaps his cap and goes nuts on stage.

Another thing about this show, Jeorie was actually doing stuff, I was surprised. I had heard that he's kind of lazy sometimes, but he was rockin' out too and he would sometimes indicate when the lights would burst or when Trent would scream. That was hilarious. You'd see him point or stretch out his hand right before, and it was the funniest thing.

What else is there to say?

Long time listener but this was my first Nails concert, I was in section 3R, not bad seats at all, but for their next tour I will definitely lay down the 30 bucks for a chance near the front row, I need to see that energy up close.
Also being closer will help out drown the idiots behind me that had to scream every fucking word to every single song, I mean I love to sing a long too but I came to hear Trent!

Aw man those lights! I can't BELIEVE they played "Help Me I am In Hell" hearing that live along with that firey lightshow gave me goosebumps.

Can Trent ever top this?

I believe.

I had choice seats in Section B. Everytime I see NIN, I can't believe each show blows the last show out of the water! The visuals were just gorgeous with the screens used on this leg of the tour. Jeordie was especially animated, but sorry girls...no Jeordie scoping and gazes last night (read on). Josh was always amazing; I still can't believe anyone could play that fast with such perfection. People said that Aaron guitar did not quite work; I didn't get that; I thought Aaron was ON last night. Very touching hearing TR's speach about what mind space he was in five years ago in comparison to where he was last night...I almost choked up.

Some backstage stuff I saw...Josh with his very adorable little boy riding on his shoulders during Bauhaus. Saw TR watching and getting into Peaches' entire set in the VIP section over the right side of the stage. Jeordie checking out Bauhaus a bit with a pretty redhead girl (his g/f ?). Josh and Jeordie latter on during Bauhaus was hangin' a bit. Saul Williams' DJ walking around (very cool dude too!) and Rob scoping out the venue. Oh yeah...some lucky Spiralers who were hanging out near the D section before Peaches' set got a hug from Aaron!

Hey anaiss. I remember u . we were the only two jeordie fans in our section. we saw him come out on stage to watch bauhaus perform. I don't care what anyone says, he's a hottie. not like TR but come on, who is. I know the girl who hugged aaron. she's got pics on her camera of her and trent from last year when they were on the same flight in atlanta. lucky ass chick let me tell u.

anyway it was my 4th NIN show for the With_Teeth tour. and yes this show was definitely the best I've seen. from beginning to end. throughout. I especially enjoyed watching Trent shake his finely shaped ass to the tamburine beat during Slipping Away. and I KNOOOOOWWW I'm not the only girl in the audience going psycho when he was doing that.

wish I was going to more shows. boohoo for me.

Amazing show. I can't say anything that everyone else has already said on here. Best one I've been to yet. The set list was great.. one of the greatest nights of my life. Everything was so stunning. I didn't understand why so many people were just standing there though, how could you not jump around and move?
I have a short video clip of Into the Void, short.. but hey it's still a clip right?

SiriusDoll that's hilarious because right after we left the show I told the guy I was with that watching Trent with the tambourine was one of the sexiest things I've ever seen. Not sure if it was his hips or what, but that man was working it.

It's awesome to know that so many of us experienced the same great show. I was thinking how when Trent thanked us that I hope he knows how much we thank him for what he does for us. All of us listen to NIN in our own ways and interpret the songs in our own ways and it's something no one can take away from us. Everyday is exactly fucking the same as you get older and you work all day and stress out about things so to have 2 hours of a life experience that takes you away from your reality is what life's all about. Enjoy the things you love the most. Not to get all sentimental on everyone's ass. I did order one of Rob's photos today - the one with Trent throwing the water all around - I dug the action shot.

sorry, but I thought the show sucked, if it weren't for the lights, the set list was boring and the overall energy just wasn't there compared to past performances. It like totally drained my interest in a band I've known and seen for over 12 years. I'm done with the whole thing, have fun kids....

I gotta say, I totalled my dad's car driving to the show and once Trent hit the stage I forgot it ever happened. He played an all star set list. Anything you could want to hear. Also, to the man sitting in 3R who complained about the fans screaming every lyric, I was in 5R and that was probably me and my buddy yelling. I appologize for any nuisance but do you ever consider you just weren't rock and roll enough to enjoy it as much as we did? So all in all this show was far beyond the 2600 dollars it cost me. No regrets.

The band was energetic as hell, it was the audience that was lacking the energy. It was a crime that there was no pit at this show. I would have been all over that.

It was myself and my Fiance's first show seeing them, and it wont be our last either! the Band was just BAD ASS! and the Base was soo strong, it felt as if someone was beating on my chest!!! & Trent's voice was fucking AWESOME!!
