WOW, I was blown away by the NIN show sunday at Summerfest two days after the PJ/Petty show. It was my first NIN concert and it just rocked my world. They played a lot off the new cd, a lot of classics, and a few rare songs(my fiance is huge NIN fan, so she clued me in on the rare stuff).

Trent put more energy into the one show then I saw come out of Eddie at all three PJ shows I saw this tour combined. He was covered in sweat from song one. He must be drinking a lot of gatorade throughout the show or on speed. Because it was just nonstop.

Anyone else stick around Milwaukee to see this show or have seen him in the past?

    After seeing NIN live in Saratoga a couple of weeks ago, coming home, and then hastily purchasing tickets to see them in Toronto less than a week later because I was so destroyed by Saratoga, NIN became my 2nd favorite band, tying with Springsteen. The energy level is through the roof - very very cathartic to be there and sing (er, yell) along. Did you like the LED screen thing? I thought it was very cool. I am sorry that I'll have to wait till next year (hopefully only till then) to see him again.

    I saw NIN last year (for the 2nd time) and they fucking rocked. Trent even talked to the audience during the encore - he didn't do that last time.

    They were even better than U2, who I saw in December.

    I loved the LED "screen" that was in front of the stage. I was suprised how cool it was because I really didnt like Petty's TV screens, it thought that was lame. I guess Petty and Trent are on different ends of the "cool" spectrum so it makes sense. Trent said at the summerfest show that they are finishing the tour soon then are headed back to the studio. They will finish the next album then right back on tour. It seems he is making up for lost time.

    Also, I heard from a lot of people that U2 is not very good live. Even though they agree with Bono a lot, they still thought it was way too political.

    I saw NIN this year for the first time. OMG, I was completely blown away. Trent's voice live is unbelievably strong. And the stage, all I can say, I sure wish I enjoyed a little smoke.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, no matter who your favourite band is, they cannot compete with NIN on stage.

    Trent and Co. go all out, every song, all of the time.

    I saw them earlier this year in Wichita (here) and they were KICK ASS. The best concert I've been to outside of PJ. So intense....I found myself in a trance like state...just mesmerized by the intensity and the visuals they put up.

    I have always liked PJs music better, and I will always listen to PJ 10x more then any other band. But, after that NIN show, I belive NIN is the best band ive seen in concert.

    I was in Milwaukee in March..I can't go back..my license was revoked...the veunue was incredible back in March though. And I've seen them 7 times since february...8 total for this whole tour. It should've been more.

    I haven't see NIN live, but they're one of the top bands I do want to see live. I have always heard that their live shows were great.
