Critiques

Sun 7 Jun – Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction / Tom Morello & Boots Riley Street Sweeper

Been to about 8 NIN shows now (since 2000) and I have to say that this was perhaps the most satisfying of them all. The lighting and screen effects that were prominent in NIN's previous shows (particularly during the Lights In The Sky Tour) are missing from this tour so that does take away a bit from the performance but what was lacking in lighting was more than made up in the Trent's song selection for the show. Here's the set list:

Somewhat Damaged
Terrible Lie
Heresy
March Of The Pigs
The Frail
Metal
I'm Afraid of Americans
The Becoming
Burn
Gave up
The Fragile
I Do Not Want This
The Downward Spiral
Wish
Survivalism
Echoplex
The Hand That Feeds
Head Like a Hole
Hurt

For the most part every song was spot on although you can tell that there were some missing elements without Alessandro (or some other full time Programmer/Keyboardist). …
