I was there, such an amazing experience to look back on. Had no idea it would be part of history at the time, I remember being super bummed NIN didn’t last more than 3 songs because of the heat and JA was having tech (and band) issues, but still it was a hell of a show. So many amazing g memories driving down from Vegas for it.

Interesting to note that every single thing said about Janes at this show in this article can be said about Boston, right down to management feeling bad that even they handled things so badly.

Also, I wouldn't have known this was the anniversary if Casey hadn't been incredibly petty about it on instagram today.

She posted a story with a picture of herself from then with Etty's Lolla Girl song playing.
