In May 2000, when Nine Inch Nails performed live at the Shoreline Amphitheater in San Francisco, they were in the midst of promoting their critically acclaimed double album *The Fragile*, which had been released in September 1999. This album marked a significant evolution in Trent Reznor's sound, incorporating more intricate layering and a broader sonic palette compared to their earlier work. The live recording showcases some of the standout tracks from *The Fragile*, including "The Day The World Went Away" and "We're In This Together." Notably, this period also saw Nine Inch Nails experimenting with elaborate visual presentations during performances, emphasizing their status as pioneers in the industrial rock genre. The live concert captured a moment where the band's artistic vision was at its peak, reflecting the complexities of the album while engaging with a dedicated fanbase.
