Nov. 4th, 2005 01:36 amNine Inch Nails. Madison Square Garden. That was without a doubt one of the best concerts I've ever seen.
My seat was very cool--to the extreme left of the stage, looking down on the band, angled just enough to see their faces. And I had an amazing view of the arena--what could be cooler than hundreds of lighters glowing all through this huge space as thousands of people sing along to "Something I Can Never Have" and "Hurt"? Or 18,000 people screaming "Gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck" at the top of their lungs?
The band was completely "on", the sound was perfect, the audience was amazing (and the venue was full). After "Hurt" Trent thanked us profusely and told us that a few years before he hadn't expected ever to be on stage again. And at the end, during "Head Like a Hole," they smashed their equipment, just like the old days. It was seriously amazing.
And I'm seeing them again on Saturday! With floor tickets! (Though I must say there's a benefit to having a seat and your own little space to yourself.)
