HAHAHAH Great review btw, Ohhh shit!, did that girl really get dropped on her head?? Because i remember being in that area little back, about 5 people… But this girl just passed out, and everyone yelled” Get her off” And of she went, but i didnt see her fall.xD. Hmm, overall this was a fucking great performance, and that memorable scene where everyone flipped bush and mc.cain off.. It was fucking great!..
Hahaha, wow, mansion and stripper poles.. sounds like fun lol

I am CONVERTED!! Hallelujah, praise NIN. [Insert speaking in tongues here] Somebody give me a goddamn candle to light in HIS name. [HIS = TR, of course]

Don’t get me wrong, I knew the show was going to be pretty fantastic. I never doubt HRC’s taste, but I didn’t know it was going to be mind-altering. A totally sober uber-high that I will tell my better-be-music-freaks-or-else grandkids about.

I must have done something right to have been lucky enough to replace someone at the rail. Realizing that this girl was heading downhill I won’t lie that sabotage didn’t crossed my mind. But instead we gave her a snack bar to try and pick her energy level up but sadly she was yanked out. Sad for her, I mean. Best thing in the world for me.

Not only a virgin-NIN, but also a virgin rail-goer, I now see what all the fuss is about. Worth every second of arriving early, stressing and line-waiting. (even though that was kinda fun too) Being up close makes it so personal. I’ve never seen such a solid intense performance, perfect vocals combined with brilliant stage props, lights and antics. Really, the show was better than the best rock show I could have imagined. Thank you HRC for bringing me into this experience!

I was wide-eyed and opened-mouthed the entire time. awe. awe. awe. awe. awestruck!

… I just wished he would have played ‘Me, I’m Not’. Oh well, guess it’s not a bad song to have stuck in my head for the remaining years of my life.
