Good to meet you three as well! I would have liked to come chat some more with you guys, but my husband and I went and explored more of the food, before deciding to settle into the GA side.Originally Posted by somewhat_
So yeah, bought VIP for the day, not sorry I did either, but we went and grabbed a spot along the side barrier in GA a little before Glass Animals started, and then worked our way up enough that I could see @sarah k across the way by the time ATCQ started. Before NIN came out, I left the barrier and got more into the crowd, but during the show I turned and noticed I think around Burning Bright that we had been pushed back almost all the way over to the barrier again. Ha.
It was a killer show. The crowd was into it the whole time, my feet lost touch with the ground for quite a bit of the show, and the energy was just amazing. I kind of wanted more from the set list after watching Bakersfield and FYF, and I still think they should have played SD and/or SGA - they had plenty of time - but of course I forget that watching the show from a computer versus actually being there makes all the difference. Every song hit hard, and I sang my heart out along with everyone else in the crowd - it didn't matter that I'd already seen Hand That Feeds, Hurt, etc every other time I've seen NIN live. They were still just as powerful.
After Tribe left and before NIN started I was happy to overhear some high school looking kids in front of me eagerly explaining to their friends that "this is the best live show you'll ever see" and that they "shouldn't miss it for the world." I sometimes think that NIN doesn't resonate with younger crowds anymore, but from what I saw yesterday, I don't think I will worry about that anymore.
Overall, extremely happy we flew all the way out from Texas for this. I do have the day-after-sads, though, (anybody else get those?!), after looking forward to this for the last 7 months, and now it's over and done with... but now to look forward to Riot Fest!
