On September 7, 2022, Nine Inch Nails performed a live show in Troutdale, Oregon, highlighting a period marked by their return to the stage after a significant hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This performance came shortly after the release of their 2020 EP, "Ghosts V: Together" and "Ghosts VI: Locusts," which continued their exploration of instrumental soundscapes. Interestingly, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the driving forces behind Nine Inch Nails, were also busy working on film scores during this period, showcasing their multifaceted talents. The live performance features Ilan Rubin on drums, who has been a prominent member of the band since 2009 and offers a unique perspective as a live musician, bringing a dynamic energy to the band's industrial sound. This concert not only marked a reunion with fans but also served to reestablish Nine Inch Nails' presence in the live music scene.
