NINE INCH NAILS Performs Entire 'The Downward Spiral' Album In NYC; Video Available

August 25, 2009

NINE INCH NAILS played its 1994 classic "The Downward Spiral" in its entirety for the first time ever Sunday night (August 23) at New York's tiny Webster Hall.

Watch quality fan-filmed video footage of the performance below (courtesy of "plaguedog32").

According to Billboard.com, NIN is on a "Wave Goodbye" tour of small venues, and had squeezed in to New York's 550-capacity Bowery Ballroom the night before. At Webster Hall, the 1,000-strong crowd was drenched in sweat within minutes of the band taking the stage to the punishing rock of "Mr. Self Destruct".

It was soon clear that Trent Reznor and company were plowing through "Downward" in sequence. He later told the audience, "I've always wanted to play that whole record, and this seemed like the time to do it."
