How good are they live? Would it be worth it?

Never seen Soundgarden live.
NIN was great at Voodoo this past year and the show was 100x better than when I saw saw them on the "Wave Goodbye" tour a few years ago. However, for that they did OPEN for Jane's Addiction, which was a surprise.

Why is that a surprise? Jane's Addiction was one of the biggest bands in the late 80s/early 90s.
NIN does have a dedicated, albeit smaller, following. They certainly are headliner worthy, but not over an original lineup Jane's Addiction.

Where are they playing?

NIN is much bigger than Jane's Addiction and has been since the mid 90s.

Because NIN has sold more albums, and has a much larger following than JA.

I like JA, but this is fricking silly.

Wrong again.
NIN opened for JA on the "Wave Goodbye" tour, because they were rolling out with a much more toned down stage show, and set lists that were much more appealing to hardcore fans, compared to something appealing to more casual fans.
That's why they played songs live that they hadn't played in 20+ years, in some cases.
NIN got their big push opening for JA at the original Lollapalooza. Trent wanted to go out opening for them again.
But make no mistake, NIN has a bigger following than JA. There is 100X more work and $$$ that goes into a full on NIN experience concert than a JA concert (think multiple layers of LED screens being used to produce 3-d images vs bubbles, balloons, and confetti).
I'm not sure yet if this will be a toned down NIN show or not. I would be royally pissed if the NIN set was short, and light show was sub par, on account of Soundgarden performing. Soundgarden sucks in every way imaginable.

Got a ticket for both nights at Red Rocks

Saw both bands last year in Atlanta. The Tension show was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen and Soundgarden at the Tabernacle was great as well. Got tickets for the show at Red Rocks and in Atlanta.

Because who does a "farewell" tour as an opener? From what I saw at least half the floor took off once the NIN set was over.
I would definitely argue against JA being a larger band than NIN.
