The NIN concert was amazing!! You know most bands will get up there, sing, do a shout out to the particular city they are in, flash some fancy lights and then they are finished. Not these guys! They always put on a phenomenal light show with big screens, lots of colour and a ton of energy. A friend of mine went for the first time and said that he was completely blown away by the experience and it far exceeded his expectations!! Yay!!

The video below is a mish mash of various songs that a fan put together from this tour. The quality is not great but it shows the various lights that NIN used just to give you an idea. Around the min 40 mark is a cool part with a grainy blue screen and special effects are used on the lens to show Trent's face coming through. As well I really enjoyed the very end clip with these crazy lights that looked like gigantic dangling windchimes; it was amazing!

Okay, seriously what the fuck is up with Youtube?? I just played the video and it says it's not available however plays it in a darker lighting which defeats the purpose. I saw this on Tokyo Tin Tin's as well...what's going on?? Ugh, try this link instead.






My friend is home but I have yet to see her. Unfortunately I am sick and off of work this fine day. Actually it's the perfect day to feel like crap because it's an overcast and gloomy day out there. I plan to cuddle up in bed and sleep, drink some tea and take some vitamins. Who the hell gets sick in the summer???

Get well soon.

Glad you enjoyed the concert. I kick myself for not seeing them when they were in town.

So many ways to answer that question. I could say "I caught that flu bug that went around this summer," or I could say something like "Listening to NIN always makes me sick too," but I don't think you'd like that. So instead, I'll just perscribe my usual feel-better remedy: order some delivery food, pizza or anything with lots of garlic, have a big cup of tea to wash it down; then take a nice long nap.

I love NIN! I've never seen them in concert. I'm sorry you're sick :(
It sucks even more in the summer because it's so nice out (usually)
Get some rest...

My Youtube problem went away on it's own. Maybe yours will too.

Wiwille, you must go and see them next time you won't be disappointed.

WIGSF, haha that made me laugh really hard. I did take the nap advice and slept for 3 hours though.

Jlee, yeah the sun is starting to come out but I'm sweating like crazy and am staying put inside.

TT, good I hope so cause that was odd.

Claire, thanks!!

That looked like alot of fun. The best show that I went to was actually a Garth Brooks Concert. It was an amazing show. But one concert that I would love to see, which I don't think would ever happen, would be AC/DC. I have a few of their shows in concert on dvd and absolutely love them.

Sounds awesome! I went to a NIN concert in 1994... or 95 (can't remember) and loved it. Perhaps it's time to see them again.

BTW, I went and saw the new Batman last night and though it was fantistic. They did a great job.
