Nine Inch Nails

In the thrilling performance of "Get Down Make Love" at Lisner Auditorium on March 2, 1990, Nine Inch Nails was riding high on the success of their debut album, "Pretty Hate Machine," which was released in 1989. This live recording comes from the early days of their Automatic Tour, where Trent Reznor's innovative sound and raw energy were just starting to capture the underground music scene's attention. Interestingly, this song, a cover of the Queen classic, showcases Reznor's ability to blend the industrial edge with moments of pure intensity. At this point in their career, Nine Inch Nails was not only making waves but also pushing boundaries, setting the stage for their future and the evolution of alternative rock. It's fascinating to see how their live performance style is already shaping up to become iconic.
