    I forget, did you make it to any of the NIN shows this tour? There were only 25 total, 2 of them at Boston Calling. As you know they were the pinch hitters for that festival filling in for Foo Fighters & Strokes. The last leg starting in Red Rocks & ending in Cleveland was phenomenal. I got lucky & was able to catch 2 shows in Oregon. My concert going days may be coming to an end soon & if that's the case the road trip was a good way to go out. Both shows I saw were amazing & very different from each other. Trent had a phenomenal band this touring cycle. He says if & when he plays live again it will be totally different. Can't wait to see what he comes up with next! 2 weeks later I'm still buzzing from the shows I saw. & I've seen hundreds of shows from my days in the music biz. Hard to get me riled up like that these days.

    no, unfortunately Solid Sound got moved to the same weekend as Boston Calling, and SS's lineup was far more to my tastes. I had a friend who caught a couple of the NIN shows and said they were phenomenal. i have actually never seen NIN. I shot them on the tour w/ Soundgarden but didn't get a review ticket, just a photo pass. I did see How To Destroy Angels once.

    Nice to know they've still got it. I saw them waaaaay early on in a tiny club. Can't remember what they were touring but it was a monumental show.

    they occupy a strange place for me in terms of bands i love and seeing them. i was onto them pretty early; got a copy of Slay Tracks from a second hand dealer after grabbing the 10" and other early singles and saw them in 91 at the Middle East upstairs. always bought whatever record they were releasing and loved their material.

    then i didn't see them again until that 2010 reunion; not sure why i never saw them when they were in their prime.

    this tour is WAY better than the first reunion.

    through the power and the beauty of the internet, someone actually recorded the show i went to:

    gotta say that i never really checked them out aside from their work w/ Neko Case. there was an excellent podcast on Kreative Kontrol w/ the remaining members. 

    never saw Dallas play but goddamn his brother shreds like a mofo.

    Even with the five LP Summerteeth box set that I bought last year, after one play through the full set, I'll only end up playing the studio album in the future, and even that might not be worth the trouble of digging through a pile of vinyl and inserts.  If I ever want to hear the extras again, I'll stream them.  

     

    I've been a dedicated vinyl listener since the '80s, but these mega sets, of which I've had many, don't translate to vinyl imo.  They're just not a pleasant enough experience compared to listening to a few regular albums.  They're like the coffee table book that looks really cool but that you open once and then forget about.

     

    That's not a Wilco complaint. I find that to be true of vinyl box sets in general.

    great point.

    w/ that Summer Bummer discount i had the Summerteeth box in my cart but i doubt i will pull the trigger. i can listen to my 2009 reissue and be fine w/ it and stream the extras and live stuff as needed.

    overall i am glad i went, but for my tastes, the material was FAR too heavy on Avalon and Flesh + Blood. 

     

    that said, the band sounded good, really good. Ferry doesn't have much sustain but sounded fine to me, i know some people were unhappy with his 77 year old vocals.

    we were back from the so-called Feuerzone but even about 150' back, it was surprising how hot the flames felt. those guys must have roasted on stage.

     

    Rammstein has some peculiarly German restrictions on what can and can't be done with the photos we took, but i can share a link so i'll get that up when the piece is live.
