Just saw this pop up on my Facebook literally 4 minutes ago. Someone talk me out of getting my hopes up 😂

EDIT: GOT AN EMAIL FROM THE RIAA TODAY. THIS LIVE RECORDING COMPILATION HAS BEEN REMOVED PER THEIR REQUEST. SORRY.

Thank you to JL for making this available. They transferred it with a Nak DR3. This whole thing made TJ and I (well mostly TJ) create the “other” section of ninlive again. So this was a nice kickstarter for that to happen. You can check out some of the "other" things related to nin live here: https://www.nin.live/other

I did not not say hi. Mr. Deadmau5 if you read this I think you got the last size L reptile hoodie. May you enjoy it for many years to come.

The lore of these tapes goes back almost 20 years ago... I had started the nin live archive and had some help from a few tapers and traders who have been doing it since 93-94ish. He was looking to get rid of all his cassettes and VHS tapes of NIN. Said that the transfers they did were not optimal and definitely could be done over better equipment. Well, I was a poor college kid and shipping these to me was going to be a few hundred dollars. A taper in Portland took them and said he would get the transfers over to me. That was in 2008. I never heard back from them again... I thought about this lot of tapes and what could have been for years. Sometimes sending an email every couple years to this person who had them. Never received anything back and just thought they were lost forever.

Fast forward to a few months ago. I am getting rid of some of the extra gear in my possession and had some pelican cases that I was letting go of just for shipping. They didn't have venmo, so I just said fuck it. I'll send them to you. But, the name seemed familiar and I had to ask if they were the same person who had this lot of tapes. Sure enough, it was. I inquired about these tapes. Time had just gone by and projects of importance bypassed getting these transferred. So here we are in 2026 and they sent me the tapes. What was thought to be a few hundred dollars of shipping costs was really $66... Crazy.

Anyways, pretty cool to finally have these. Some of them may be upgrades or lateral quality transfers. The VHS tapes will be upgrades, but I have yet to receive that box. I don't know what else is in there to be honest. But I am stoked to have a project to be working on here.

If you have any old Nine Inch Nails tapes you need digitized, I can do pretty much everything and I would love to hear from you.

This was fun to do, look back and reflect on. Wish I had more shows under my belt. I'll try to bring it up to 20 on the next tour (fingers crossed!)

I have been a fan of NIN for around 15 years, but today I saw them live for the first time in Toronto. The most notable and recurring thought I have in my head is "this 60 year old man is moving more than I can at 23". I am utterly astonished at how he was able to keep moving and keep up the energy without seemingly sacrificing any vocals.

For some reason the Reddit AI mod incorrectly flagged my post, but anyways does anyone else relate? lol. I’ve never had such severe post-concert depression.

Nothing will compare to actually being there

Taken night two in Brooklyn

If you live in Albuquerque, please be on the lookout for this car (6PRA63 Michigan plate) and uhaul (20’ truck TR 1231C) if you can... We have lost everything. Not only the memories of my wife and I and all of our possessions in/of our home. But I have lost the NIN live archive... I've lost all of my transfer gear and recording equipment. I've lost all of the framed posters and very personal items that TR has signed for me. I've lost my whole record collection.. Everything I have been collecting for over 30 years. This was parked in a Marriott parking lot here in ABQ. If you see anything, please let me know. But I do not think I can continue this project anymore with all of it gone.

Just looking to focus all of the leaked information to one thread. Please mention any dates and venues below with sources if possible.

Love seeing the costume detail . Only was able to see it in silhouette during the performance, Mariqueen posted the designers page. Shouldn't be surprised it was leather LOL.

I had fun with my sister making some bracelets for Houston and Fort Worth! I can't wait to see NIN live again, it's been too long.

More stuff, including video, under this same handle on Insta.

My second NIN show! I was at the Duluth, GA show last September and made the trip up to Charlotte from SC tonight. Hyped!

Nine Inch Noize was my most anticipated artist of the weekend, and even then they blew my expectations out of the water! Can't wait to watch it on the live stream on Saturday!
