Soundgarden was Smoking Hot! NIN was ok
by jusbeachy on 9/2/14Hollywood Bowl - HollywoodI have to give the night just average rating because the first half of day/night was phenomenal but the second half was not so good or fun / Mostly because the Hollywood Bowl DROPPED THE BALL. I met tons of people from different countries that said they traveled just to see Soundgarden. I know they were not disappointed!!! Soundgarden rocked that place down! The energy was high, the sound & set was fantastic, and Chris sounded as good if not better than he did back in the day. NIN was a let down. Trent didn't come across as if he truly wanted to put on a great show. And he didn't! Their whole show was pretty average & I would not spend $$ again to see that. Now for the Hollywood Bowl - which I used to love & recommend to people always. I will not do that anymore. After waiting in an excessively long line to get food, the guy behind the counter yells out: ' We have no more food ' !! Excuse me - the headliner band is just now taking the stage & you have no FOOD. Needless to say, after hours of being there - food was wanted & the rest of show still had to go. After returning to our seats - we decided to go to other levels looking for a stand open that served food. Not even one was open and the night was not near over. This is not acceptable under any circumstances. Water and food should be available until the last minute. Period.
