Nine Inch Nails

On July 8, 2006, Nine Inch Nails delivered a memorable performance of their iconic track 'Closer' at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA. This show was part of their 'With Teeth' tour, promoting the album of the same name, which had been released just a year earlier in 2005. 'With Teeth' marked an important moment in Trent Reznor's career, as it was the band's first album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. This live performance showcased their sharp, industrial sound and unique stage presence. Interestingly, despite their intense performances, this tour also hinted at the band's changing dynamics, as Reznor was dealing with personal issues, including battles with addiction, making the raw energy of 'Closer' all the more poignant during this live rendition.
