On a mild summer Thursday evening in Chicago's suburban Southland, the bands Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden (both vintage 90s bands) proved to be this summer's Tag Team Champion. The night was perfect for rock concert goers, as the weather was cool and comfortable and the bands burned and sizzled throughout the night. Soundgarden started the evening with their supersonic sounds. This was a great warm-up to the evening as dusk settled on the First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, IL. The venue seemed to be a decent location despite the fact that many missed the beginning songs of Soundgarden because of traffic that resembled a Friday evening in Chicagoland. Luckily, the parking lot is a short stroll to the Amphitheatre and even though the venue looks like a prison camp, as Soundgarden's leader singer Chris Cornell put it, the acoustics were clear throughout the theatre (even in the lawn seating). It seemed to be a great night as Soundgarden finished their set, but as dusk turned to night and Nine Inch Nails took the stage in the twilight (after only a miraculously short 20 minute set change), the concert got even better. In fact, NIN burned away any doubt that they are indeed the best live music act around. Mainly this is the case because of Trent Reznor's (the band's leader and founder) classic compositions and because of the band's unbelievable mature sound on stage. The theatrics, video effects and light show effects didn't hurt either. The crowd was in a tantric fury by the end of it all and the entire concert had well over three hours of music between the two bands for the price of one. It was the best opener you'll ever see and the best closer in the business all on one show. Soundgarden started the sizzle and NIN burned it away into the crisp cool night, making it one of the most comfortable summer nights in years.
