Nine Inch Nails

In the summer of 2000, Nine Inch Nails delivered an electrifying performance during the Fragility tour, particularly at the Festivalgelände Schöllingstraße in Wiesen, Austria. Just a year prior, the band released their critically acclaimed album "The Fragile," which showcased their evolution into more complex soundscapes and darker themes. The live recording captures not just intense energy but also the band's exploration of heavier material, a direct contrast to their arena shows documented in "And All That Could Have Been." It was an exciting period for Nine Inch Nails, as they navigated the intricacies of fame while continuously pushing artistic boundaries. The festival setlists were notably brutal, featuring a raw and visceral edge that resonated deeply with their fans, reflecting Trent Reznor's willingness to experiment and innovate, even in a live context.
