Setlist

This show might just have proven that I'm now too old to be on the floor in a show that might turn into a mosh pit (is that term still used?). Even so I held my ground and had a great view of the center stage in the middle of the arena. NIN started off with a smaller "acoustic" set that gradually grew over the first few songs. Then from there they migrated to the main stage. For the 3rd act they came back to the middle stage which was just Trent, Atticus, and Boys Noize doing some remix versions of some of the songs. Then it was back to main stage to finish off the night with the heaviest and most popular songs.

The lighting and stage production was some of the best I've ever seen. It was incredible and really drew you into the show.

The only thing I didn't like about it was the pushing and shoving. It wasn't even related to the music. Just people trying to get themselves closer to the stage. Oh well, like I said, I'm not in that age bracket any more.
