Nine Inch Nails Was Great.

Even if Shawn Fritsche is so over them. Whatever, dude.

It was my first time at American Airlines Center. Our seats were fantastic (other than me having to sit next to a very large pooty lady). And I realized that the last time I saw a band play in an indoor stadium like that was the Bon Jovi/Skid Row show at the Summit in Houston in 1989--ha!

Here is the set list (because I am a dork who likes to see the set list after a show, and who also likes to make a commemorative cd of the event for posterity):

1. 999,999
2. 1,000,000
3. Letting You
4. Discipline
5. March Of The Pigs
6. Head Down
7. The Frail
8. Closer
9. The Line Begins To Blur
10. Gave Up
11. The Warning
12. Vessel
13. 1 Ghosts I
14. 25 Ghosts III
15. 19 Ghosts III
16. Piggy
17. The Greater Good
18. Wish
19. Terrible Lie
20. Survivalism
21. The Big Come Down
22. 31 Ghosts IV
23. Only
24. Down In It
25. Head Like A Hole

Encore:
26. Echoplex
27. Getting Smaller
28. God Given
29. Hurt
30. In This Twilight

Anyway, I'm glad I finally got to see them live after nineteen years, and it was fun hanging out with Z.

Oh--and one more thing! A conversation I heard in the restroom after the show that I found amusing:

Girl #1: I LOVE TRENT!!!!
Girl #2: Okay, you can marry Trent, and I'll marry Maynard!
Girl #3: But who am I going to marry????

Ah, high school...

Someday I hope to see NIN in concert. Trent Reznor will probably be a member of AARP by then. Glad you liked the show.

Oh, you should definitely go see them at some point--the show was TOTALLY worth the $50 ticket price that I didn't pay (my friend Z had a spare, so I got to go with him for free)!
