Nine Inch Nails will be playing tonight at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre | Photo by Rob Sheridan and Tamar Levine via Nine Inch Nails' Myspace
Our Pick: Jane's Addiction, Nine Inch Nails, Street Sweeper Social Club @ Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre
Tonight legendary Southern rockers the Allman Brothers Band will be concluding a two-night stint at the Greek Theatre with the Doobie Brothers. The buzz from last night's antics, Tom Petty and Bruce Willis joining onstage to jam, is still lingering across the internet. Winston-Salem-bred singer-songwriter/pianist Ben Folds is poised to headline the Hollywood Palladium. Denver-based singer-songwriter Jill Sobule (LAist Interview), best known for her 1995 single "I Kissed A Girl," will be gracing Largo at the Coronet. And, lastly, electronic shoegazer Anthony Gonzalez, otherwise known as M83, will be taking over the Glass House in Pomona. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre to catch local alternative rock outfit Jane's Addiction. Cleveland-bred industrial rockers Nine Inch Nails are slated to co-headline.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which goes up every Sunday.

OH YEAH! I'm so looking forward to it. :-)
Allman show last night was fantastic. I can confirm the Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers/Bruce Willis appearances. Good thing is, Willis was decently impressive on harmonica. He would run out of steam every once in a while, but kept up nicely, and didn't overstay his welcome.
Petty and the Heartbreakers... of course they killed.
Only thing was that they didn't play Melissa and my fiancé, Melissa, (who is a trooper for sitting through the jam session) was disappointed. I'm sure they'll play it tonight though.
The NIN & JA show in Chula Vista was fantastic. And as this is the "Wave Goodbye" tour before NIN's forecoming hitatus, it shouldn't be missed.
NIN has been changing up the set list a bit for ever show so far. I can't wait to see what's up for tonight.
