Holy Fuck!!! Awesome show. It was me, my girl, and three out of our four kids [14, 12, 8] Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it, except for EVERYONE sitting around us. Just because they're seats, doesn't mean you have to sit!!!! Bunch of losers. I liked The Bug, but Warrior Queen was kinda hard to understand. Really loud set + heavy Jamaican accent = hard to decipher. I like new shit I'm normally wouldn't listen to, so it was cool. I am completely in awe of what I saw and heard and we all are extremely grateful. I couldn't think of a better show for all 3 kids' first concert. NIN is for kids!!!!

I was working this show, as an usher for section J, making sure nobody tried to go into section I since it was about side-stage and a part of backstage. Luckily I was able to and was right above side stage (where the band went on, where the lighting engineers were and where Robin came offstage several times to switch guitars). I didn't like The Bug, nor did anyone around me. Many got up and left early in their set and said "they suck!" to me as they left. They waited out in the corridor until NIN was about to come on.

I thought it was a fucking amazing set. They gave their all in this show, and the lights were absolutely breathtaking. Truly incredible.

I got a cool view - took a load of pics. Sorry, some are blurry... and some even ended up doubling somehow.

This was another amazing show and we got Reptile, for which I am very grateful. I was over on the extreme stage left for most of the set and so didn't have a great view but it was interesting to be able to see behind the screens a lot more clearly. And the sound was still awesome even though the view was angled.

I actually liked The Bug quite a lot although I didn't get to hear their whole set. I did the next day in Billings and thought they were the best of all the openers I've seen so far. Trent was totally boppin' out to them. I didn't know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised.

I ended up shooting this show also and have started putting pictures up. Not much done yet as I got home very late last night.

A couple more here or through Flickr. More up as I process them.

What an interesting show and crowd. I enjoyed the concert very much for a couple of reasons-- first and foremost was the fact that I was attending a second show on the LITS tour. Secondly, we brought our 15 year old daughter along-- her first concert ever-- and she is a huge NIN fan. We drove up from Colorado to see the show. Spent more time in the car than standing still, but well worth the time. I really hope that somehow a DVD, fan made or otherwise comes out for this tour. Simply amazing show...

I'm still in mourning that the tour is over now..
