Nine Inch Nails - Live Performance of Hurt in Toronto
On July 27, 2014, Nine Inch Nails delivered a hauntingly powerful live performance of "Hurt" at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto, part of their 'Tension 2013' tour. This tour supported their album "Hesitation Marks," which had been released in September 2013, marking their first new studio material in five years. During this period, Trent Reznor and the band were experiencing a creative renaissance, blending raw emotion with industrial rock elements that fans had come to love. Interestingly, "Hurt"—originally from their 1994 album "The Downward Spiral"—holds a special significance, often reflecting Reznor's struggles and introspection. The live version showcases intense energy, illustrating how the band has evolved while still paying homage to their iconic past.
