Maybe this was deliberate, it had to be, but it did detract from the experience for me. I didn't pay £30 a ticket to look at a light show with just the odd glimpse of a sillhouette of Trent Reznor.

Highlights of the show were Head Like a Hole, March Of The Pigs and an amazing performance of Hurt. They also did the Joy Division cover from The Crow soundtrack which sounded amazing as well.
I saw them at Brixton last night, the dry ice was prominent at the beginning, and was a bit annoying although had a very atmospheric effect. It cleared up before too long though, for most of it my view of the band was pretty good.

I'm currently writing a full review, and I'll probably post it later tonight
