Peel It Back - Sept 6, 2025

I caught Nine Inch Nails for the first time in 2022 when they played at FirstBank Ampitheater - an outdoor quarry. NIN is a band that I've been listening to since 1994 - a big influence in teen me! The experience of seeing them outdoors was lackluster to say the least.

On Saturday, I finally got to see them indoors at Bridgestone Arena - an indoor venue with all the bells and whistles to support their two stages and absolutely brutal light show. The Scene writeup says they Transcend Time and Space - I think that's quite the apt review.

Nine Inch Nails having an impressive live show is not news to anyone but if you've never caught it (like I hadn't), I highly suggest you make the effort. After market tickets were quite affordable, especially considering the reward that comes with attendance.

As I am wont to do, I made the setlist into a playlist on Spotify and YouTube Music. Let's all agree that the YouTube embeds for music playlists are awful but it's an annoyance worth putting up with. Here ya go.
