"Terrible Lie" from Pretty Hate Machine Live at Eagles Ballroom Milwaukee, WI Feb 11, 2006 PODCAST EXCLUSIVE!  |
It's been I don't know how long since I saw a big show like this without being accompanied by a short woman -- probably close to five and a half years. Since then I've seen a number of big acts -- Weezer, Ben Folds, Godsmack, the Shins, Interpol, Garbage -- from anywhere but in the pit. So while going to a show alone stinks, it was pretty great to be down on the floor, amongst the filthy, screaming masses again.
The only thing that concerned me was the camera -- not that it would get knocked away from me or anything, but that it would get me kicked out. At one point during this clip, you'll notice that the viewpoint suddenly dives and the sound gets all muffled. That was when a security guard, who'd come into the crowd to tell some shoulder-riding girl to dismount, was making his exit, right in my direction. This was a really bright show, as you'll see, and I'm sure he could see exactly what I was doing. I dropped the camera to my side, he kept going, and I stopped worrying. I guess they don't really care about cameras once you get them past the gate.

Awesome video, that was a great show. You wouldn't by chance have a setlist, or know someone who does?
I haven't noticed them getting posted anywhere; maybe somebody at theninhotline.com has it, as they've already got a ton of show pictures available from the Champaign show.
Stay tuned -- "Closer" and "Please" are coming later in the week!
And just as I hit post, I find it: http://www.taosd.net/tour.php
Nice video! The concert was really good.
Going to shows alone isn't so bad though, at least you get to stand where you want to without worrying about anyone. :)
Heh, yeah. It occurred to me partway through the set that the reason the whole venue looked so unfamiliar was that I was used to seeing it from the balcony. :)
You missed the Alan Parsons Project starring PJ Olsson for this? Good choice...
wOOt thankyou for that....... very high qualety, that show was hella good, and from the angle it looks like i was just behind you a few rows of scatered people actually.... cant wait to see please and closer, although closer is way overplayed in comparasin to other NIN songs.... it was sweet, just kinda wished you got reptile, starfukers, or head like a hole, but ill take what i can get considering the rave has like the tightest security imaginable
