Got tickets to the show in NJ in June!
Saw them in 1995 (with Bowie), again in 2000 (Fragile tour), and this summer will probably be the last time before Trent gets too old. Should be good, although I'm not hopeful that he'll still play the classics.

Tickets in general have gone up in price. This was NOTHING, if you consider who it is you're actually going to see. I'm going to the Jersey show in June.

I caught this show last night and really enjoyed it.
I like how Trent approached his "wave goodbye" tour: keep ticket prices crazy low; allow photography; play first. Basically, head out on his own terms, but also in a way that ensured big crowds, good blood and excellent concert memories. "Big" stars would be smart to note the logic behind this. Everyone from teenagers through mid-lifes are looking at this guy in a rosey light and mentally marking this tour as a great show.
As a guy that knows every word to every song by both bands I feel comfortable stating that the order really should have been reversed. Jane's is a stripped down, trippy band. Following up NIN where every member is introduced as "name, primary instrument, keyboards and vocals" sets up for a let down. NIN had a huge sound, which made Jane's comparatively a bit of a drop off. I appreciate Mr. Reznor's, but my judgment is better in this case. :)
Don't let my nit-picking send the wrong signal: this show was bad-ass. Highlight for me was hearing songs that have been a soundtrack of my life ("Three Days", "Then She Did...") performed by Jane's, and the hybrids of NIN songs.
On the later note, I specifically loved last night's version of "The Downward Spiral", a somewhat instrumental song dictating a slow-motion suicide. The song started with the root sample from the track, then layered the recognizable piano riff from "Closer", hinting they'd play the more popular track, then went on to play with the audience using a few more layers before tearing into the over-the-top "The Downward Spiral". Like this:
Motherfucker, that is how you do it.
- 3 days is my fav JA songfooler2
- wow...I REALLY disagree. I was underwhelmed by NIN. But I thought Jane's sounded HUGE!!!marychain
- All JA had going for them was volume. Perry kinda whine/screamed and gyrated and shit. NIN was perfect.monospaced

Camera spent too much time trying to crawl up Navarro's ass when Jane's Addiction was on, show was good as long as I didn't look at the screens. NIN kicked ass.

yeah....extremely...but I don't expect Jane's to hold it together too long
