Went to see Nails at the Ford Center in OKC on Friday night. My third time to see them.
The production is amazing. Visually, it was the best show I’ve seen besides Tool. They sounded really good, it was money well spent I’d say. I really like their new stuff and thought it sounded really good live, especially God Given, Letting You, and Ghosts 31. I wanted a few more PHM and Fragile songs, but oh well.
A Place to Bury Strangers seemed pretty cool, but I was running late and only caught 3 songs. They smashed their guitars and made a lot of noise and had coma inducing strobe lights going on the whole time. I’d like to catch them in a smaller setting.

saw them with afra at lollapalooza a couple weekends ago. they played pretty much the same setlist with only a couple small differences on the newer stuff and we got “the big come down”. we really couldn’t get into them for some reason. while the lights were nice the band just seemed to lack the energy they had the other times i’ve seen them. that and i get sick of hearing the same phm/tds/broken/fragile songs every tour. trent used to be good about playing non singles and mixing things up but this tour it seems like hes only playing the bigger songs from those albums. i thought thew new song selection was fine though. but i doubt that i’ll go see them again unless they do another club tour.
radiohead blew away nin live at the festival and i never thought i’d say that about radiohead’s live show.
and for APTBS…i’ve been pushing them on here for a while. i think they are amazing in a club setting. they will be doing a headlining tour starting mid september so catch them if they come around you. well worth the $10 or $12 they charge.
Had tickets to see them in MPLS but they moved the show back to late Nov. My only complaint is that he’s not playing “Capital G” that my favorite YZ track and one that I feel would work quite well live.
seeing them the 27th, looking forward to it. their stage show intrigues me, and didn’t get to see them on a YZ tour so looking forward to hearing those songs. I’m so sick of the PHM/Broken stuff by this point (as much as I like the broken album) that I’m really looking forward to the YZ/Ghosts/Slip stuff. Fragile has so much to choose from, I wish he’d do more of that stuff.
I did see Radiohead last week and they nearly put me to sleep.

same here when i saw them on their club tour a couple years back, but the lights and shit they had going on at the festival were great. up there with nins i’d say. but i did hear the stage effects at that show were different than what they were doing at their own gigs. they probably had more to work with with the massive stage setup at lolla. was happily surprised that they played the entire in rainbows album too.
Wish I could have gone, but they were charging like $80 a ticket. I just couldn’t justify paying that much… Tom Waits was the most expensive show I’ve ever seen and that was only $65!
But hey, sounds like you had a good time and it sounds like Trent is delivering the goods. I never thought I’d say that NIN is better than Ministry, but they sure as hell are these days!
KLLFACE fuck yes there coming to t-town!!! i was soo bummed that i missed the show in okc i’ve got to see this one! and in that new monstrousity downtown we should meet up [:)] being that there are two people on this forum that live in one small weird town
p.s. that assimalation thing is going on again this sat at the marquee (old mooch and burn venue, caz’s/brady dist.)
Saw them in Atlanta (well, Duluth) last week.
Deerhunter was like Muse, only not very good. On the plus side, their guitar player chick wore a cheerleader outfit…
Trent’s taken the lightshow torch from Pink Floyd and just run away with it. Amazing stuff.
The setlist was good and varied, though I thought for a second there that he was going to pull an Al since the first several songs are from The Slip.
The Ghosts material went down kind of like Derek Smalls’ Jazz Odyssey. I’m not sure an arena is the place to be breaking out the glockenspiel. I’d like to see an NIN theater tour, where they play nothing but quieter/slower/more experimental material to a crowd that isn’t just waiting to hear Wish or whatever.

Yeah, let’s put it this way: we didn’t even really watch him really and content in not doing so. Some friend, who does like nin, went to the other side of the festival to see Kanye, music he doesn’t care for. I mean that says something. If it weren’t such a hike, I would consider it. I bet the Kanye crowd had the better looking girls by far.
that and i get sick of hearing the same phm/tds/broken/fragile songs every tour.
True, though could be worse: we could have seen Ministry on their last tour. That would have been something.
He hardly ripped them off as they get full credit and even appear in the video. Actually I think “Stronger” is a great pop track. Other’s mileage will, of course, vary.
