Photos: Nine Inch Nails in Columbus OH

First off – Nine Inch Nails last night was amazing. I’d never seen them live before and the band didn’t disappoint. From song selection to performance, to one of the most amazing video projections I’ve ever seen conducted, this is a top knotch show.

And while the floor was PACKED…. where were all the suburban kids?

The Schott closed off the top level completely, and the medium level where I was sitting was really empty. Over the weekend they released $17 tickets (which is why I went), but that didn’t even help the attendance.

Nonetheless, I had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate to see them live again.
