While everyone was rocking their block off at the Capitol Hill Block Party, my friend Steven Friederich was at KeyArena watching a small band called Nine Inch Nails rip through a massive set list of more than 25 songs.
Here are a few videos he shot of Trent Reznor and co.
I had tickets for this, but never actually printed them out and double checked the date. The actual concert was Saturday, I thought it was on Monday. Totally missed it and ruined my week. 🙁
That is one of the saddest concert stories I have ever heard. Reminds me of the time when my wife and I were on our way to see Radiohead at the Gorge and right when we hit the freeway I realized i left the tickets on the top of the car. Luckily the tix were face down in my parking space when I went back home to retrieve them.
If it is any consolation, I heard NIN is currently on its Canadian tour and Seattle was a part of that tour, so maybe the band will come back when it embarks on a US tour.
Hey, thanks for the heads up! I’ll keep my eyes open this time, and make sure to double check the date… 🙂
