Venue: Starlight Theater Location: Kansas City, Missouri, United States Date: May 27, 2009

Nine Inch Nails was deeply immersed in their creative resurgence during the time of the live recording on May 27, 2009, at the Starlight Theater in Kansas City. Just prior to this performance, they released the acclaimed album 'The Slip' in 2008, which was notable for being given away as a free download. This period marked a pivotal moment in Trent Reznor's career, as he was embracing a more open and innovative approach to music distribution, redefining the relationship between artists and fans. The 'NIN JA' tour that included this Kansas City show celebrated this fresh direction and featured an electrifying setlist rich with fan favorites, showcasing Reznor's relentless energy and artistic evolution. Interestingly, this particular recording is a favorite among fans for its raw atmosphere, capturing the intense connection between the band and the audience during a transformative time in NIN's journey.
