Nine Inch Nails

On October 19, 2018, Nine Inch Nails delivered a hauntingly powerful performance of 'Hurt' at the Boch Center's Wang Theatre in Boston. This live rendition came during their 'Bad Witch' tour, following the release of their EP 'Bad Witch' just a few months earlier in June 2018. 'Bad Witch' marked a significant point in their career, blending experimental soundscapes with intense lyrical explorations, continuing their legacy of pushing boundaries. Interestingly, 'Hurt', originally featured on the 1994 album 'The Downward Spiral', has become a defining song for the band, often explored in the context of personal struggle and despair. This performance is particularly poignant, showcasing Trent Reznor's deep emotional connection to the piece, complemented by a raw atmosphere that fans have come to expect from NIN's live shows. It’s a striking reminder of how the band has evolved yet remains anchored in their powerful themes.
