Heh, I found this post super-relevant, because I was AT Sunday's show, and I'm going to see Velvet Revolver this Fri night.
re: NIN -- I didn't get online until 6:30 so clearly I missed you, and I never made it up front. Did you see David Bowie in the first tier of seats to the right of the stage? I moved around a lot during the concert, mostly going with the flow of other people since it's easier to do that then fight those big, drunk dudes you mentioned. Worst moment was when I got an elbow to the back of the head. Saw stars, I think I might actually have gotten a concussion. But hey, I kind of expected to leave Hammerstein with some kind of injury. I set my alarm to wake myself up once in the middle of the night, just to be safe.
Also, one of the first thing I noticed was how bulked up Trent was. I've always found a lot of his sex appeal to be in that lean look so I was a little wigged out. From further back, he looked oiled rather than sweaty, and at one point I found myself thinking it reminded me of a body-building competition. Very weird. But my night was complete with the playing of 'Closer' and 'Head Like a Hole', because those are my faves. (Yes, apparently I am a cookie-cutter fan.) I do kind of like the new album, but nothing on it jumps out at me as a classic, you know? I could say a lot more but I feel like I'm already hijacking your journal too much.
re: VR -- OMG they played 'Sex Type Thing'? I will cry if they do not play that on Friday. This ticket kind of fell in my lap and I was rather ambivalent, but as the date has drawn closer I've found myself looking forward to it more.
