Notes

This was a batch of tapes that I received from another trader. It has been sitting in a folder just waiting to be edited. There are two other sources of this same recording on the archive previous to this. There was one that was cassette sourced that used a lot of hiss reduction filters and it had a lot of metallic sound to it. It was missing the last half of HLAH. The other was a 128 mp3 version that was complete. But also suffered compression. This is a proper transfer of an unknown cassette version of it, but it sounds pretty good! I have now deleted the older versions and this is the definitive version on the archive until there is an upgrade to this source.

Notes

It was thought this recording was from July 4th because of the time stamp that is on the video recording. This was confirmed with a newspaper source that confirms only the July 3rd date. The camcorder's clock was either set wrong, or the show started after midnight. Thanks to TheBang and Arnaud (happinessinheresy.com) This audio is ripped from the video that was recorded that night. Ripped from an unknown generation, but the audio is pretty decent but it is rather hissy and crowd is loud. Trent shouts to "turn up the fucking monitor" during "Head Like A Hole." The video itself is ok. As Gladcarrot points out, "Shot from an elevated position at stage right, this footage is often out of focus or focused on the ceiling stage lights. The are moments of clarity with some nice shots of the band." Big thanks to Matt from DMLiveWiki to transfer the audio. Video will be coming soon.

Notes

This is a copy from the master tape. It is the same recording as below but not from Silver CDs. The tape is *slightly* longer.

Notes

The best recording of the Hate 1990 tour. There are silver CD's to this show called "Misslewister". It is taken from source 1a. This recording has been highlighted on RITC's NIN Recording of the Week.

Notes

To my knowledge, this is an uncirculated show. It has only been listed on one list and I was lucky enough to get it. The tape is pretty good! I received it on a CDR and for the most part the tracks were not split up correctly and the tape ran very slow. So I ripped it via XLD (thanks to Matt, aka ligushka) as one wave file and proceeded to edit where necessary. No EQ'ng was done. Just speed up the recording to normal and remove the tape flip before "Suck." There was a slight cut in "Ringfinger," but it's only a second or so. Probably a drop out in the tape. If anyone has any more information on this, or possibly an upgrade gen of this recording, please PM or email me!

Notes

I received this rare footage from @ Puddin13 on Twitter. A friend's parents owned/worked for the Mirage/Curfew in Austin, TX. They filmed the show it looks like and the footage was overwritten on the VHS with part of "Alice's Diner" which absolutely breaks my heart!!!! Only the first five minutes of the performance exists. Unless there is another tape out there and this wasn't the master tape. Just some very rare footage and the only source from this show.This is why I would love to make sure I can preserve any Nine Inch Nails live recording possible with the archive. If you have any old cassette, DAT, VHS, Hi8 tapes please get in contact with me. I have the means to transfer any sort of media and archive your Nine Inch Nails recordings to the archive.

Notes

Good recording. If you have any information on this recording, please get in contact with us.

Notes

This was a 1st gen copy from Sal E. There was some confusion when this was traded that Sal E. was the taper, but this is not true. He just had a copy from the master tape. Average recording, this show date was not listed on ninhistorian. This is actually a warm-up show for the tour. This show is the live debut for "Suck."

Notes

Great recording, this is an upgrade from the tape we have on the archive for this date now. This is from the master tape and sounds wonderful. Huge upgrade. Would like to know more about who taped this and with what mic. It is almost complete, Terrible Lie has only the last minute recorded and Ringfinger has a slight dropout in the right channel, but I assume that is on the master tape.

Notes

Drop outs during "Terrible Lie" and "Down In It" is cut at about 30 seconds, missing "Head Like a Hole."

Notes

Great recording. Thanks to Aaron for sending a 2nd generation tape for the archive. This is a huge upgrade from the other versions of this same tape circulating and is superior to any other version floating around. If you have any more information on this one please contact us.

Notes

This is the earliest known recording from the Peter Murphy support dates. It is missing the Intro and fades in during "Terrible Lie." Got this from an 2nd generation cassette tape, sounds really good.

Notes

This is from a copy of the master tape. As the two silver CD bootleg copies "By Bizzare Hands" and "Killer Instincts" miss some songs, this is the full set. Both silver CDs are sourced from this recording. Terrible Lie does fade in, but I would assume this being a copy from the master tape that this is where the recording starts. Taper possibly walked in at the beginning of the set because it seems like they were getting adjusted with their mics throughout the beginning of "Terrible Lie." Once situated, the recording is flawless. A very good recording. Sadly with tapes being traded so long ago, not many traders thought it was necessary to keep equipment and taper info. So we don't know what mic this was recorded with, or who did. If you know who taped this show. Please get in contact with me. UPDATE: This was tracked completely wrong. So I re-tracked the whole recording instead of having "That's What I Get" and "Ringfinger" in the same track and also "Head Like a Hole" split. When I was tracking each show for the NIN Drive, this didn't pop up because it had the same amount of tracks and didn't give me an error. I have updated the FFP and MD5 files inside this as well. Other than that, i's the same recording and source.

Notes

This is cassette tape sourced. A bit muffled, but a lossless source. This date was questionable from the Mary Chain Tour. If anyone can give better confirmation, please contact me.

Notes

This is the same recording as the other two versions that are on the archive. The reason this version is up here as well, is because it's lossless and also a better sounding recording than the other lossless source. Sadly, this is an incomplete version from the cassette that I transferred myself. Also, I may have used a *little* too much low noise reduction after analyzing the hiss profile. There is a bit of a metallic sound in the left channel if you are using headphones. I won't be retransferring this. I am really hoping to find a definitive version of this recording as there is a complete lossless one (that is from a higher gen cassette tape) and an mp3 version (that sounds the best, and probably taken from a low gen cassette tape, but lossy). If anyone has a definitive copy, please contact me.

Notes

This is an Mp3 source (lossy) of this show. Which is in better quality than above. If you have any information on this recording, or have lossless source. Please contact. This date was questionable from the Mary Chain Tour. If anyone can give better confirmation, please contact me.

Notes

The tape in circulation is a lower gen, but still we have not been able to find a master clone of this. This might have been recorded on a hand held cassette recorder with internal mics. Its a better recording from the 1990 tour.

Notes

Upgraded April 2014, thanks to Smores. Still an unknown gen, but the cassette rip we had before this was awful. Very hissy, and muffled. This transfer is FAR superior. Still misses the Intro/Terrible Lie which would make me deduce that this tape was incomplete to begin with. This is one of the rarer NIN shows to find. There are a few audio recordings that are fakes. One person decided to make one that included a few songs from the Melbourne show a few weeks later to this date, and a few songs from the night prior to this one in LA. Check your show to see if its mislabeled.

Notes

The version I have is a very very high gen. A lot of hiss, but probably due to the high gen, and the way it was transferred. For 1990 its a decent recording. If you know the taper, or know what was used to tape this show please get in contact with us. This was recorded in mono, from what I can tell. I also have an mp3 version of this same tape and it is also in mono. Would like to make a fresh transfer of this recording if anyone has a tape laying around.

Notes

This recording is the same recording as above. Sadly, this was transferred poorly and their methods of transferring the tape were probably not as sound as they could have been. This was encoded into MP3 format as well. The waveform in which it was transferred at was recorded too low. Which makes the hiss way more apparent. I did amplify the waveform by 10.3db to have it just under -2db. Whomever's tape this was had a decent low gen. The reason this is on the archive is because it does have better sound than above, because of the low gen tape source.Why I am keeping them both available is that source a is a lossless source and source b, because it sounds better. Would like to make a fresh transfer of this recording if anyone has a tape laying around.
