NIN Concert pt 2!

Whoa....

That was one hell of an AWESOME show. Trent Reznor performed NON-STOP for 2 hours plus. The audio was spectacular (deafening - key arena shook from the outside on the opening act - I was lining up to buy NIN swag... :p ).

I bought the tickets through a pre-sale on nin.com that was extended to members. These tickets gave me REALLY good seats. Also what I didn't know was that there was a special entrance for people who bought the tickets through nin.com. One that did not have any line at all (I was worried coz the general entrance already had a HUGE line). Instead the nin.com members had their own dedicated entrance with no waiting at all. Tickets were also real purdy too (this one is definitely a keeper).

The opening act was Crystal Castles. Haven't really heard of them. They seem to be a mix of Thrash, House, and Punk-ish. The screaming parts were so so, but some of their songs was REAL nice. Check out the song Crimewave on their player on their myspace page. I will definitely be checking out their CD.

The lighting was spectacular. Words can't describe the visuals, sonic attacks, and the pure quality of the show. Trent Reznor is really talented. He played multiple instruments throughout the performance. I will DEFINITELY go again if he comes to Seattle (or near Seattle).

A must go if he is headed to your area.

Some YouTube vids of the concert.
