Nine Inch Nails
Nine Inch Nails live performance of Lights In The Sky in Austin, Texas
In 2009, Nine Inch Nails was riding high on the success of their album "The Slip," which was released just a year prior in 2008 as a surprise gift to fans. This live recording from the Frank Erwin Center showcases their dynamic stage presence and marks one of the final tours before Trent Reznor decided to take a break from touring. The "Lights In The Sky" set was particularly noteworthy as it highlighted their unique blend of industrial rock and immersive visual experiences, a hallmark of NIN performances. For this show, the band was notable for its creative use of technology and artistry, with visuals crafted by long-time collaborator Rob Sheridan. It’s an electrifying moment that captures the pulse of NIN during a transformative period, blending intense emotion with groundbreaking production.
