Recordings
Notes
This is from the silver CD. The silver CD is sourced from the video that is from the back of the venue. The sound is ok, but it is from a video microphone which are not as good as external microphones.
Notes
There are a few recordings from this date floating around. One video recording that was filmed in the back and its audio was released on a silver bootleg CD. Also one more audience recording that was released on the archive. This one is from neither of the sources above. This recording misses 'Pinion.' Thanks to Smores for sending over the tape, I am going through my backlog of recordings. This is a good tape and the sound is good on this one. Still looking for AF's recording from this date.

Notes
Same as the source below. The 1st gen transfer below has better quality, but this transfer includes a few more seconds of "Pinion" and "The Downward Spiral" if that matters to you. In September 2015, I finally was able to snag a copy of the actual "Hanging Like Jesus On This Cross" silver CDs. This is now a known rip from the silvers with scans of the CD covers as well. For the longest time, this was thought to have been a fake set of silvers. But turns out they are the real deal!
Notes
This was a pretty bad cassette transfer. The levels were too low transferring the cassette to a computer. I increased the db level +15, no clipping, on each track. There is a lot of cassette deck hiss because this was transferred so low level of volume. I am looking for an upgrade to this recording, or another cassette to transfer myself with my Nak deck. Also removed some cassette deck dropout during "Wish" right in the middle. So this DEFINITELY needs an upgrade. Verified Lossless as well. UPDATE: This tape had a lot against it before I even transferred it. One it was dubbed onto some really shitty memorex cassette tape and the hiss is way louder than it should be, it's a higher unknown gen too. Since it was such a poor tape overall due to its media type, I only shared the 16/44 version. I hope that one day we can get a proper recording of this show that doesn't sound so poor. If this were a lower gen, I bet it would sound good!
Notes
Below average recording. Sounds like a high gen cassette tape, with lots of hiss. Some artifacts throughout the recording (i.e. pops/clicks). This is not the best transfer. Looking for an upgrade on this one. Verified lossless. "Eraser" has a tape flip in it (or just cut) and the guitar riff in the middle was recorded twice. So I cut the double start of the guitar riff out to create the seamless song.

Notes
From the Silver CD, "Down In It." Incomplete recording. Only one CD, so the recording fades out during "Ruiner." The rest of the show is probably available elsewhere. There is a video recording from this show. I am not sure if this is the audio ripped from the video, as I do not have the video. To add to the woes, this rip is also lossy. We need a lossless rip of this recording if anyone has one out there! Please contact.
Notes
Misses "Head Like a Hole", "Help Me I'm In Hell" and "Happiness in Slavery" so that it would fit to an 80 minute Silver CD.

Notes
This is commonly mislabeled as the 10/11/1994 Phoenix show. This Silver CD is actually from this date. Great recording.
Notes
After cross-referencing every single NIN recording from 1994, it has finally been established that this recording is NOT from 12/31/1994 Detroit and is the 09/05/1994 St. Paul date. You can listen to "March of the Pigs" and hear the same 8 screams from Trent, same pauses etc. Other songs line up from the recording as well with their small differences with guitar strums and keys. So at this point, there is no New Years Eve recording. Still need to find one. This is a different recording than source 1. Sounds better. I assume this was pressed to silver CD, much of the songs were removed on the CD to fit to 1 CD and the date faked to sell some copies. The source 2 recording circulated as the December 31, 1994 show at The Palace of Auburn Hills, MI. Unfortunately there is no proof. Supposedly at the show (Detroit 12/31), there was a countdown to the New Year followed by a NIN, Pop Will Eat Itself, and the Jime Rose Circus coming together on stage to sing Auld Lang Syne, Finck did a harmonica solo, then NIN began their encore set. Which obviously is not included in this recording.
Notes
Cassette sourced, a very good recording. This recording suffers from cassette speed problems. It runs a bit slow and needs to be corrected. Would love to get an upgrade of this recording. It does sound fantastic.
Notes
Average recording. Mono sourced. Looking for an upgrade of this source (stereo/known gen). Any information about this show, please .
Notes
This is another recording from Barrie. For a total of 3. This is a DAT master copy that was copied to a cassette tape. Big thanks to Smores for sending me over this tape, along with a bunch of other ones. The recording is good, sound is great. The left channel has some screamers at the beginning of the show and they stop over time. Overall, this is a great recording to add to the collection! Update Thanks to Happiness In Hersey, this quote was found on alt.nin from Mark W, "Finally got my second DAT and am itchin to make some dubs. I am looking for other HIGH QUALITY DAT audience tapes - send along your list and I will do the same. Shows I have taped include 8/6/94 Barrie, 8/27/94 Rochester, and 11/29/94 Buffalo. The last two are phenominal". This was given to me from Smores and this tape may have been received in a trade with the other Mark W. recordings he got. Not to mention, this DAT tape is not as good as his other two recording (as he stated). This is more than likely his recording of that show. So I have updated this source/folder to show that.
Notes
Cassette sourced and mono.

Notes
This is the best version of this show. Reworked by Vince Dome (Thanks Vince), this includes the two tracks that were not on the "Terrible Live Lies" silver CD, to make this a complete recording. The two songs that were not on the "TLL" Silver CD were added from "Fragile In Berlin." Some copies of this recording are circulating with other songs missing. So instead of having two sources to download from (the edit and the silver), we will just keep this definitive version here to download.
Notes
This was released on DIME via cassette transfer and for a 1994 recording its good! This must have been a higher generation as there is more hissing but this is one of the better recordings from the Self Destruct Tour. UPDATE: This is the same DAT that was transferred a few years ago by FULLMETAL. He sent this over for me to transfer a few years ago and I finally got around to tracking all of this out. The initial transfer was good but the hiss was a little more noticeable and also there was some digital noise in a few of the tracks. This is a clean transfer and that's why I would release a re-transfer. Still looking for a lower gen of this recording to get rid of some of the hiss as this is probably from a 2-3rd gen cassette to DAT. It really is a great recording.
Notes
Unknown source. Above average recording. It's possible that this is a clone of "The Snake is in Paris" silver CD, but we don't have a copy of it. So not entirely sure. If you can help out with this recording, please contact me.
Notes
This was uploaded to DIME MAY 2022 by Harvey1. This cassette was purchased at a record fair in Edinburgh in the late 90s. Although I don't know for certain, this sounds like it could be that source 2 (Sony TCD-D3 + Sony ECM-909) recording that is listed on the archive, but I have no recording. At this point this is considered Source 3. As we have no definitive proof. But I would guess with how clear the recording is itself, it could be sourced from a DAT recording. The transfer has a bit of electrical interference in it, I contacted the uploader and they threw away the tape.. Sound is rather good, but it seems to be a higher gen tape. If you know anything about this recording, or potentially have an upgrade to this (master DAT?) I'd love to add it to the archive! I am still searching for a 5/25/1994 Forum tape too.
Notes
Very good recording. Suffers speed problems throughout... Probably from the cassette transfer. Would like an upgrade of the source if anyone has one. Please .
Notes
Lacks bass and heavy on treble, lots of hiss. Need a lower gen of this recording.
