that's all i did yesterday. lose my mind. waiting in line in that ridiculous heat made me crazy. i spent hours just looking around in disbelief and asking myself "what the hell are you doing here?" then we wound up with a much better spot than we had anticipated, and i couldn't believe it. and then the bass for the second opener was so intense that it made it feel as though the bass was my heartbeat which confused me and made me feel really sick. and then the show started off with mr. self destruct...
...and continued with piggy...
...followed by heresy...
...and i lost my mind like i never have before and exactly how i knew i would if i were ever lucky enough to hear the downward spiral performed in its entirety. it was better than i imagined. by eraser, i was literally holding my head because i felt like it was going to explode. katie put it really well when she said that listening to an album is such a personal thing, and it's such a trip to share that with that entire crowd and the band. when they finished hurt, all i could think was that i just witnessed the best thing ever. and it felt complete. and then i remembered that we had only heard 14 songs and many more were to come. ruiner was SO GOOD LIVE and robin turned that solo OUT. disgusting perfection. and eraser was a little bit different than when aaron/jeordie were in the band (the last time i saw it performed live) and much better. and reptile is always amazing. and the downward spiral has become one of my favorite live songs. and the band looked like they were loving it. i really never believed they'd do this again and i'm still kind of overwhelmed by how perfect the set list was. we got metal and burn and terrible lie and suck... which i must have requested at least 5 times during the day. "i really hope they play suck. i reeeeeeeeally hope they play suck." i missed it!!!
and then, after the show we sat around talking about how perfect it was and how we really couldn't ask for anything more, and we found out that the fonda show was canceled. ...so then i was overcome with "ooooommmmmmgggg whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!?!?!?!" and today sucked because it was like "well, we should've been at the show right now" and it was depressing. i hope they reschedule instead of straight up canceling. but somehow i doubt that will be the case.
...so now i'm still waiting around to see if saturday's show at the wiltern is still on. =/ i hate this.
but at least the palladium show was orgasmic.
