NIN coming to Tulsa

[TeeDub]

At least someone I am interested in is coming to the BOK Center.

Just an FYI (sgrizzle), tickets go pre-sale tomorrow.

yeehaw, im getting in my time machine and going back to 1990...

Seriously. Can they fill the BOK Center?

I remember when they played the Cain's. When was that? Had to be nearly 20 years ago.

You may be remembering someone else; they weren't very popular until 'The Downward Spiral' came out, which was about 1993 IIRC.

I believe their configuration for the concert will lend itself to about 9000 seats.

I was hip to NIN before Downward Spiral, my friend. Drove many miles with a Pretty Hate Machine cassette blasting in my car and many a weekend dancing my butt off to "Head Like a Hole" on the upper level at SRO.

Found this reference to the show:

quote:March 1990:  Depeche Mode released Violator.  Also, I went to the Cain's Ballroom to see Nine Inch Nails live, as an opening act for Peter Murphy, formerly of Bauhaus fame.  I was initially within 4-5 rows from the stage, but during the end of the NIN set, I accidentally got involved in my first (and last) mosh pit, and quickly moved further back in the crowd to a safer area.

I've moved on from those days, but I caught a bit of NIN on HD when flipping through the channels last week. It was actually good. I wouldn't quite fit into that crowd anymore, though!

[sgrizzle]

I was in the car on the way to see them at the Ford Center when I heard.

Guess I'll have to go twice.

And yes, many of us are probably a bit old for the mosh pit.. But, oh well.

When the lights came on there was a pile of hair at my feet. Luckily it wasn't mine.

really....NIN is an act better suited for a Cain's size venue.  I guess Reznor doesn't think Cain's can hold his ego er greatness er whatever.

Maybe a third of the BOK? http://www.bokcenter.com/upload/image/NIN-map.jpg

oh, now that is funny.

ticket prices are right on track though.

[sgrizzle]

Probably a third or a little more. That is 6,000-7,000 people. Brady and cains hold what, a couple hundred?

Brady holds a lot more than a couple of hundred.  It was packed for Orbital and it was packed last time STP was in town.

NIN can probably fill half of that third of Bok, just because ticket prices are cheap.

I am so pumped about this. Trent knows how to put on a hell of a show.

I just saw them at the ford center and they had probably 6,000 people there. At the ford center they used no upper bowl seating and moved the stage closer to the end.

Brady holds 2750 from my recollection.

They should be able to fill the seats on sal.,e easy pretty sure they are pimping a new CD and most likely will have plenty of radio stations pimping there tickets.
