This was good, but it wasn't amazing, and I feel like if I hadn't already seen NIN a bunch of times in various formats I'd be a little disappointed. QOTSA wiped the floor with them from a stage presence perspective (but their sound was horrible - NIN's sound was great). I feel like I should really be going tonight, when NIN are hopefully headlining, to see what the show is like then. It felt like NIN opened for QOTSA as opposed to a co-headlining sort of thing, if you catch my drift.

NIN's light show was incredible as usual, and Queens only had this big screen in the middle that did the looping gif style images which feels about a decade out of date. It's hard not to compare the two, I guess.

I feel like the 4-man setup is a little too sparse and relies on backing tracks too much, and it looked a little bit like they had to quickly come up with something after a band member dropped out or something like that. I don't know, just had a very strange feeling coming away from it all. Spoiled from looking at Tension recordings, I suppose.

Oh, and A Warm Place was only the backing synth chord changes; the Crystal Japan melody line isn't in it at all. Took a while to realize what was playing.
