I’ve seen them about 10 times and every show has been incredible. I skipped this last one Because it was in a huge venue and I couldn’t get pit tickets. Now… about Thai almost dying. Please elaborate. The same almost happened to me when I saw The Revolting Cocks.

Wow, that's impressive! I would never go unless I could stay out of the pit! It was at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit and I think they had two bands open for them. The first was Electrolux (if I remember right), we were on the floor and things were pretty tame. Then Queens of the Stone Age came on and things got a bit crazier. By the time NIN started we were basically getting crushed. One of the friends I was with at the time started having a panic attack so we started to fight out way out of the crowd. I remember a girl falling next to me and I'm pretty sure I stepped on her ankle (I wasn't light even then, so it had to hurt). We made it to the back of the crowd and I don't remember much about the show after that. The second time was at the Pine Knob amphitheater and that was much better. We had fixed seats and it was an enjoyable show. I think Peaches opened for them that time.
I thought it was going to be a similar story. About 35 years ago I went to see the Revolting Cocks (a side project of Ministry and several industrial bands). I was right up front. Maybe a row of 2 people deep in front of me. The pit got so crazy that the entire crowd was shoved to the front. I could literally pick up both feet and just hang smashed between people. I couldn't breathe. I had to motion a bouncer to drag me out of the crowd.
That's scary! It was a feeling I hope I never have to go through again.
