I saw Nine Inch Nails last night. Good show. I forgot how much fun the people watching is at shows like that. Lots of black. Lots of style.
I missed Autolux, the first opener. Queens of the Stone Age were next. They were decent. Metal with shades of glam and Pink Floyd. They did a long set for an opener. They had pretty liberal use of the lights too. You don't see that much.
Nine Inch Nails went on a little before 9:30 and finished at 11:00. They started the show behind a sheer curtain. They had LED effects, and a screen behind the stage. In the middle of the show, they dropped the curtain again, and projected film onto it. The first film started with bacteria swarming, then moved up in scale to bugs, and then fish, birds, grass and waves. The next juxtaposed scenes of war and death with money, happy couples, a happy President Bush and suburbia.
Pinion led off the show, but I think they remixed it. I was disappointed not to hear "The Wretched," but they played it, so I just didn't recognize it. "Wish" was my favorite.
The sounds was good. i was just in front of the sound board, and it was packed. I heard people were getting hurt up front, including a security guy who got hit with a mic stand. The guitarist was a wildman. I guess the drummer was a replacement, but he was pretty damn good. Some of the drum tracks were recorded, but most were him.
