I got to go see Nine Inch Nails in Cleveland and all I can say is “Wow.” What an awesomely great show. The visuals were just amazing, with multiple “see-through” LED lattices of some kind that created an amazing atmosphere and effects. Being a visual designer-type, I was very impressed.
I had jumped on the fan club a few months back so I got tickets on the floor, so we were able to be in a great spot, dead center and only about 50′ from the stage.I’ve got some pics in one of my Flickr albums. The iPhone doesn’t exactly do the best pictures when in the dark being blasted by strobes, but you’ll get the idea. If you are even remotely interested in them, I can highly recommend the show. They played a great mix of old and new and went for well over two hours.
A+, and I can’t wait for the tour DVD.
