Nine Inch Nails & Jane's Addiction (florida concert photography.)

Finally had time to go through my thousands of shots and weed out the good ones. I can't say enough good things about last weekend or this show! I had an absolute blast. We missed the opening band (Street Sweeper Social Club), and NIN played second because Trent said he wanted to be able to relax and watch one of his favorite bands (Jane's Addiction) after their set. :) Both bands clearly rehearsed well, as it seemed they kicked the tour off as comfortably as if we had met them mid-tour. Despite one fairly major glitch, the whole show was entirely worth both the seat tickets AND lawn tickets we bought, even though we never made it up to the lawn. Trent came back out onstage, apparently for NIN's encore, then fitfully threw his mic down and stormed offstage when he realized someone had pulled the plug on the PA. So, no encore from NIN, but their performance was killer, as has come to be expected.

Second time seeing (and shooting) NIN, and first time seeing Jane's Addiction, though I've been listening to them since my mom probably was telling me not too...

After the first couple of songs from Jane's Addiction, Perry Farrell started talking about how they'd been around for a really long time now, and how the crowd rocked just as hard as we did back in high school! :P Gee, I feel old suddenly... I've been listening to them since probably junior high. Which they don't even call junior high anymore (it's middle school now), so apparently I AM getting old.

Anyway, without further ado, the NIN/JA2009 Tour:

Some downtime between sets... those two guys in the middle at the bottom (the bald guy and the one to his right) are cool because they were wearing Tool shirts. :)



Mom may not have been out of place. Actually, my grandma may not have been either. All ages were present, from little kids to little old ladies.







Looks like mountains on the horizon, but it was just clouds.



Jorge and Eric checking out the video we got on the P&S.



I took notes. :)

Perry Farrell enjoys drinking.



A lot.







Told you.





And Dave Navarro likes to smoke.

And... The End.



We'll miss you, NIN. Please don't stay gone for too long.
