we went sunday night to see nine inch nails and jane's addiction at the atlanta lakewood amphitheatre. we got there in time to get our will call tix, but ended up standing in line for over and hour... thus missing most of the NIN set. our tickets were never found.
we had to buy lawn seats and sit in the back. the show included an opening set by street sweeper social club, then nin, then jane's addiction - in that order. we got to see exactly half of the entire evening's show.
apparently this was a huge fuck up... so much so that trent reznor personally made sure heads rolled at lakewood / live nation. there's a chance they might swing back through to play again. i got a refund, but it was still complete bullshit. nonetheless, this tour is very stripped down compared to the over-the-top tour earlier this year. the setlist, comprised mainly of tracks nin hasn't played in years, was interesting. it was cool that the set included mr. self destruct and gave up, but didn't not include closer.
this tour, titled the nin|ja tour a.k.a. wave goodbye tour, is being heavily documented with cameras, digital photography, and audio recording. trent jumped through some hoops to get the recording rules relaxed. the ongoing media archive for this tour is located here. an mp3 download of the show can be found here. and here's a good photo set of the show on flickr.
here's a few video clips, followed by some pics of the atlanta show... and at the bottom, a clip of the first nin show i went to, which happened to be lollapalooza 1991. this was the last day of the 1st lollapalooza tour, august 20th, 1991. check out "the hand that feeds" and "wish" clips below, which are particularly fantastic:
