‘Lights In The Sky’ Over Oakland, CA
Nine Inch Nails played a raucous show at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA last night … one night ahead of the final show of the first leg of their North American tour Lights In The Sky. NIN take the stage at The Forum tonight here in SoCal (and, WOOT, I will be there) but here are a few pics that were posted on the official NIN website from last night’s show … including one of Trent Reznor himself engaged in an “important pre-show ritual”:

Because of venue space constraints, I wasn’t able to get the “full” look of the Lights In the Sky show when I saw NIN in Toledo, OH last week so I am very much looking forward to seeing Trent’s vision for the show tonight. To be honest, I’m already planning which shows on the second leg of the tour I’m hoping to attend. Their Western Michigan show coincides with my next trip back home to Detroit so I think I’ll be at the Grand Rapids, MI show and NIN are ending their whole tour in Las Vegas, NV in December … worth a trip to Sin City, I think ;) Folks, I cannot stress enough how much I am looking forward to tonight’s show … I promise to have as many pics as I can snap and a full report tomorrow. Wee!
Will I be running into any of y’all at tonight’s show?

I was at the Oakland show last night and it was great! All the lighting/visual stuff was awesome. A girl behind me threw up about 30 minutes into the show. So, that sucked. I hope you have a great time and a stink free spot!

the concert last night was AMAZING! trent was outta control, and the whole lights and band energy exceeded everything i had heard about. oh…and there was an earthquake registered in the east bay just as they were taking the stage for the first song. (really, there was). coincidence? i don’t think so!!!!!!!!
you will have an incredibly fun time tonight.

I was at the show last night and it was breath taking. Trent was flying all over the stage, it made me want to be in the pit and i never go there! Have a fab time, I will be seeing the guys again in Sacramento!!

NIN is misogynist…
“I want to fuck you like an animal…”
