The band's preformance: amazing.
 
 The "experience": one of the most terrible things ever. I've never been down with boycotts of ticketmaster, live nation, or venues, but no lineup will ever get me to Nissan again. Never. Hell on earth.

No, I won't. If I had it all to do over again, I wouldn't have went.

I would guess that the Wizards and/or Caps had dibs on Verizon because they were expected to do so well in the playoffs.

22 people died due to tornadoes over the weekend.
 
 over 1000 people died and maybe more (mainly children) in china due to an earthquake.
 
 over 100000 people died in burma.
 
 and you bitch about some rain that "ruined" your horrible life and concert?
 
 fuck you . . .  not nissan.

i said before that i wasn't going to go to nissan for anyone.   i didn't even bother waking up for radiohead tickets this tour.  i missed seeing 'like spinning plates' (though i guess i actually have heard it live, before -- soundcheck in atlanta 01, over a week before it made its debut in a setlist during a show), but i didn't have to deal with the traffic and the venue and the rain (i was at bull run -- had tickets for both shows -- i also had a ticket to and was on the way to the postponed 03 show in toronto as well).
 
 i won't go to nissan for anyone.  i won't go to dar for anyone.  i won't go to disco rodeo (formerly the ritz) for anyone.  i won't go to 'montage mountain' in scranton for anyone.  i think that's all my list is, but i'm sticking to it.

Missed the show as well and i did post a review on Yelp and wrote the Nissan Pavilion Costumer Service! Not sure if it matters but you should let them know! Customerservice@nissanpavilion.com
 Good luck and let me know if you get any replies.

normally i hate watching youtube concert footage, but someone who had a great seat is putting up almost every song, and they're not shot that bad.  kudos to the internet kids who are ruining another form of proceed to the artist.  pretty soon, why buy concert tickets?

Certainly you are not saying that watching youtube clips is comparable to being at a live show?  Am I missing some sarcasm here?  Even if it was a concert video released on DVD by the band, I don't think that it would equal actually being there.

I am sure in this case, it is more pleasurable watching "Fake Plastic Trees" on youtube is way more fun than sitting in traffic for 6.5 hours last night, or missing the show entirely.
 
 My friend who attended just wrote to me and said Nissan is probably the 7th or 8th level of hell.
