All I know is we finally got not one but two awesome bands for $30 bucks what a deal. Plus the music live from these shows sounded sooooo good. The vibe at the show was great, awesome people, full moon gave intro to NIN. WOW. I don’t know what some people are talking about this show rocked. NIN gave a surreal Pink Floydish performance from dark and creepy to snaring upbeat riffs. Then Jane’s came on and plain just rocked their set. I even saw small mosh pits sprouting on the lawn. Please let’s have more shows like these….

Yeah disappointed NIN left out some key material especially after having to cancel last go round due to one of our storms….

Wanted to stay for JA but a tad under the weather and not wanting to give Cruzan any more of my money after the NIN shortening. Somebody had to take the heat. hahahaha

When I arrived to NIN/JA concert at 7:45pm, I was shocked to hear Trent Reznor already on stage. I checked out his website the morning of the concert and did not see a posting about NIN performing before JA! On top of that, I don’t Twitter, so obviously I didn’t get that memo of line up schedules!

NIN performed an awesome show; however, I felt abondened when they just left the stage. I wanted more! When JA was on stage, I told my friend, “I know Trent Reznor wouldn’t just leave us like that! He has to come out right after Jane’s Addicition! Just wait! Just wait!! Maybe Trent will pull a blitz and jump on stage and perform a one man band encore!”

Then upon reading this review on pbpulse.com, the PA was turned off too soon???!!! And NIN was going to perform “Hurt” as an encore???!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!

At the end, I’m glad the pbpulse.com explained why NIN performed before JA. I’m sorry Trent, I think you rocked more than JA.

GO GATORS!!!!

The crowd DID thin out… Nine Inch Nails fans trickled out before Jane’s hit the stage. Personally, as far as a twenty year reunion goes, I think NIN did a horrible job of making their long time fans feel at home… So many great songs were not played, and truly I don’t want to hear them play ballads… to me NIN was a buzz kill and I was really shocked by that. At least I wasn’t the only one let down… All you heard in every direction was “really, that’s it?” Even if the did play Hurt…the boo-ing said it all. On a positive side… they were on point! They did sound AMAZING…But they just didn’t put on a “show”

As for Jane’s… their song list could have made true fans cry… Dave Navarro was simply breathtaking… and Perry, you just want to hug the guy… what a great performance. The only negative I could give is that though musically their connection is awe-inspiring, their personal chemistry is uncomfortable. It almost seems as if they could care less if they are together. I love when a band loves each other so much that you can “feel it.”

I was right at the front. Directly in front of Perry. This writer is nuts – the crowd did not “thin out” when Jane’s came on – it got larger. I say one thing – I was so close that I could feel the heat from NIN’s lights! And it was HOT!!!

Waited 13 years to see Jane’s Addiction. They were so great!
