My biggest complaint is they didn't play Copy of A, which I thought they'd go right into after Great Destroyer, and The Day The World Went Away. But it was still a great show.

I also scored a bootleg NIN/SG shirt for ten bucks after the show. Why they didn't make an official shirt with both bands is still baffling, and a huge missed opportunity in my opinion. For a bootleg it looks pretty good. Plus I got my obligatory date-back shirt at the booth. I tried to get the dude to get me an autographed poster, but he wouldn't pull one. Oh well.
There were some people who were walking around with the NIN/Soundgarden shirt that had the same image (compartments with animal bones, feathers, etc.) that they've been using ever since the tour was announced. They were bootlegs but they looked great and I did see several people selling them for fifteen bucks outside the venue after the show ended. If they'd been selling that shirt at the merch stand I definitely would have picked one up. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment of this last year of touring has most certainly been the merchandise. None of the shirts available looked good and definitely weren't worth the price they were asking. I don't wear beanies and have no use for buttons or key chains so that was out of the question, and what the fuck happened to the poster prices? Last fall both NIN posters were twenty-five bucks and now all of a sudden both the NIN and Soundgarden posters were forty a piece? And the slug poster was forty-five? I'm not strapped for cash or anything like that, but nothing compelled me to part with my money, and normally I'm the guy who'll get really excited about being at a concert and exhaust my budget immediately on a few shirts and posters. Don't know why they were selling a Downward Spiral shirt or the Ghost vinyl and CD either. Seemed like a cop out, like they weren't too focused on having all of the merch being about the latest album.

May I ask anyone else who went to this show what they thought of Dillinger Escape Plan? I've checked out a few more of their songs on Youtube and I like what I've heard, but live they just didn't do it for me.
