NIN & HIM
NIN!!!
After seeing them the past 3 times... I wasn't sure how taken back or different the tour would be... but never doubt the Trentster.. as some might say : )... we had really good seats about 19 rows back from the floor... dead center... so it was a great view. They played more stuff off of their new album this time and they also played one or two older songs I haven't seen.
The visuals were amazing! Shown was a series of images from nature, animal instincts, war, dancing, corporate america and our not so wonderful President... the sequence to which it was diplayed in addition to the music that was playing.... whew... a pure masterpiece of awareness and intensity!
HIM!!!
I went to see HIM for the first time last night, I really don't know what to say... a 3 letter/word band and a 3 letter/word response.. OMG!!!!
The sound was great, the crowd was energetic and it was beautiful in every way. Ville didn't have as much stage presence as I thought, but he kept smiling as he sang while looking at misc. people in the crowd... I got a new presence from him that I didn't expect. I saw something in him as an artist that I have never seen in other performers... and I can't really even describe what it was.
I don't remember the exact set list... but here is what I remember as of now, in no particular order: Rip Out the Wings to a Butterfly, Right Here In My Arms, Join Me, Razorblade Kiss, Burried Alive by Love, Your Sweet 666, The Funeral of Hearts , The Sacrament, Poison Girl, Wicked Game, Killing Lonlieness, Vampire Heart... I know I am missing a few. I believe they played 16 or so songs.... if you know the rest... let me know!
I left the show after talking to Greg and one of his sweet friends.... I didn't try to meet the band or work any chiro magic... the thought of having a 9am midterm that I wasn't even sure I really had or not... nor had studied for or went to class... my senses told me to come home and check out that situation... so I busted out a quick study session before bed. The entire time driving home... my innate was telling me to go back, but my mind told me to go home.. so I will never know... but one day with the luck I have had in life... I will meet and adjust them : )
Oh... and I didn't even have the midterm this morning : ( ... it is next week! Oh well... the price of being a student! but the love of HIM is forever... haha!
