I love seeing Trent lose control and starts doing random vocal noises. THAT is when he is really feeling it.

That's got to be one of the best performances out there. Killer song. Killer musicians

the fragile is his best fucking album hands fucking down

Lisa and Sharlotte, you rock.

Backing singers made this one the definitive live performance

This song was always my favourite on the Fragile. It felt the most personal: it still does. This version is so joyous; it's still tempered with the evident pain in the lyrics, but it's framed as acceptance instead of a plea. A celebratory groove on the detritus of life. I cried and sobbed and laughed and laughed listening to this: a friend I lost turning up out of the blue. I always loved NIN but like a lot of fans, listening to some of their music marks some really painful moments in the past. I know youtube isn't really the place for heartfelt exposure, but there it is: this gave back the joy I buried with my pain, in a very dark time, and hugged and danced with me. It's so nice to see this song is special to other fans. I'll be listening to my old NIN albums again. What a great concert. Thank you.

the people that dont like the backing singers are the ones that are against any form of change or evolution of the whole thing... I consider them a great addition to a new and fresh musical sound. Great stuff!

Over the years of Trents different live lineups, this bands performances have gotten better and better. This performance proves it. In my opinion, this is one of their best shows they've ever done. Trent has really taken the time and gone the extra mile to play the best show he possibly can. Hes chosen some amazing musicians, most notably Robin Finck, who his a very talented and unique guitarist. Very proud of what these guys have accomplished.

At almost 69 years old I have pretty much seen 'em all. NIN is by far my favorite. Could it be that they are the greatest band of all time?

This song’s still so. Fucking. Good. This man’s work just transmutates into different forms over time, but it’s always great.

Keep doing what your doing Trent. I've been a fan for 16 years.

This is my favorite LIVE version of this song.....I love the addition of the backup singers, they were great. #LisaFischer , #SharlotteGibson and #TrentReznor.....Thank you.

LOVE the backing singers!

One of the greatest bands on the fucking planet.

I love those little ad-libs Trent does between lines

This has to be one of the most amazing performances of this song ever. The back up singers just add more to the amazement. This song means so much to me.

Look at his arms, I mean...daddy.

ISN'T THIS REALLY WHAT YOU WANTED?

I love absolutely everything about this performance.

Newsflash people...you aren't the same person you were 15 years ago. When Trent wants to do something new with his music, then that is his business. If you want the same stuff you heard in 1999, the you have three options: get the album, invent a time machine, or start your own band and rip him off. Deal with evolution.

i love the use of soul singers in all his live stuff now lol its great

One of the best live preformances of a song I've ever seen.

Nice addition with the backing vocalists.

You can tell Trent loves this one so much. This song feels amazing to me.

Just revisiting this version and loving it with fresh ears. For me, the choice of backup singers makes his Bowie influence clearer than ever. They bring a touch of soul to such a hard and mechanical song.

This whole tour was full of my favorite versions of many of his songs, this one for sure....he put alot of feeling into these live performances and the back up singers, the subtle differences....its everything I want from a concert....not exactly the same as the album....but something else...better even. His stuff is probably never the easiest to play live, but it comes out so natural and more organic in some way! Awesome shit!!!!!!

It's funny how happy this rendition of the track is. So funky. Coming from such a dark album. Transformation. Juxtaposition.

i ate two bowls of potato soup while watching this

Pino is an absolute assassin

I loved this performance and EVERYTHING he did to reimagine it live. I was at the first show of this tour and I thought this was so soulful and amazing. Pino Palladino on bass and Lisa Fischer on backing vocals Wow!!

nice touch with the back up singers my all time favorite nin track

Best version of the song ever

NIN w those absolutely seasoned veteran backup singers is ultimate NIN

I Love "Fragile". I think it was his best work ever.

The live version has an amazing, new energy. I love it!

I saw them back in 2000.. my favorite song.

I love that Trent is doing his damndest to create and inspire some amount of CHAOS on stage, and then there’s Pino…just standing there…cool and calm and absolutely nailing the time and the pocket! THIS is what great performers do; what they must to get the job done perfectly! 😎

One of the most addictive songs ever. EVER!

I love the new dynamic those two black chicks brought to the music for this tour. I would love to hear some more old NIN songs with their soulful twist. Fantastic!

So much power, intelligence and intensity. NIN are masters.

fuck, the chills, the headbanging, the standing up from my chair to dance, this song had this effect on me

One if my favorite NIN songs.

This recording sounds SO GOOD on my new system!

There is a game I play Try to make myself okay Try so hard to make the pieces all fit Smash it apart Just for the fuck of it Bye, bye, ooh Gotta get back to the bottom (Bye, bye, ooh) The big come down isn't that what you wanted? (Bye, bye, ooh) Find a place with the failed and forgotten (Bye, bye, ooh) Isn't that really what you wanted now? There is no place I can go There is no play I can hide It feels like it keeps Coming from the inside There is a hate that burns within The most desperate place I have ever been Try to get back to where I'm from The closer I get the worse it becomes The closer I get the worse it becomes There is no place I can go There is no place I can hide It feels like it keeps Coming from the inside

Robin said every string on the guitar is tuned to D for this song 😆

This is the best live version of this song.

This is just beyond sick. Incredible arrangement and performance.

Hope they go on tour in 2015!!! Their show at Red Rocks was fucking incredible

i lke that treant added back ground singers to give it more of a fill , love it!

Pino Palladino is sick! Monster player!

Saw this show earlier in the tour in Minneapolis. I wish it looked like this. They had some technical difficulties during that show. Still awesome music without the light show, but the effects take it to another level when they work. It's fun to see a favorite artist like trent reinvent himself every once in a while. Great clip.

One of my favorite NIN songs!!! Can't believe they did this. And kicking myself that I didn't go!!

@2:54 “1! 2! 3! 4!” Huge. Best version of this song, tbh.

I did not want the show and the night to end... Trent brings it... leaves you wanting more...

This has become one of my favorite nin songs. Perfect.

seeing this live was the greatest spectacle I have ever seen, and I have been to Tokyo.

Trent knows how to put on a show gotta love the man

This performance in every element would make Apollo himself weep in joy. The instrumentation, the harmonies, the showmanship, the lighting! sweet sean hannity this is truly the best performance of anything I've ever seen anywhere!

Trent never stops with the good vibration beats of music makes my heart go dancing moving like him

this is the best live performance of this song, Everytime I wanna listen to it I go to this one 😍

This song, I feel has some of the best lyrics of this era of alternative/rock/whatever.

One song that certainly always sounds at full potential live

The drum mix on this is so good.

The energy that this performance causes is fucking amazing. Absolutely amazing.

I love the band, imo, sounding better than ever.

Love nin my #1 favorite band of all time

I saw him on the Fragile tour, it was great.

Is there anyone more badass than Trent Reznor? Damn!

Love this performance..Mr Finck is apriceless addition to the lineup.. the only man that can wear a mullet in style imo..

Watched Trent hit guitar player in head with mic stand on June 6, 2006. He then proceeded to drag him across the stage by his hair. One of the greatest shows I've ever been to.

Great live performance like all his nin live performances r n the girls sound great wish he use there voices more

it's just that they're so f**n good; I take breaks ffrom them just to preserve the awe.... saw them I think 1994, 1999 and 2008. He lost none of his intensity in that time... Reznor and the band he keeps have never disappointed me... and I always find new things to love about the albums he released. Honestly, I think he's just kept getting better and the shows are evidence of that....

best band ive ever seen live, sorry black sabbath & iron maiden..

Chills....wish that I could see them live :D Amazing performance...love the interval/notes sung by the Background vocalists/artists :D

Obviously the song is great,but this live version just stays in my head🤘🤘🤘🤘

This is fucking awesome. This is what I’m talking about. That’s why I like in the old industrial Trent Reznor’s using women singers Marilyn Manson dirt on mechanical animals. Everybody should do this I love the sound with the women singers. They are so awesome go Trent.

Such a timeless performance.

Been a fan since I was 12. I’m in 27 now. Still hasn’t changed.

Me relaja escuchar nine inch nails...

I didn't know how bad I wanted Industrial Funk to be a thing until now.

I think Sharlotte and Lisa were amazing! Added a whole other dimension to the songs

One of my top five favorite music artists, maybe my #1, and best show live!

I so love those ladies that are his back up singers they may it sound like a different song.

Those background singers were the most amazing addition to this show.

I really can’t pick out a favourite performance from NIИ, each song I listen to is my favourite!!

Beats the album version by miles - though I am sure I'd have never said that when the album came out.

I like this different version of the drum rhythm

I'd sacrifice everything to see them live.

Trent is always so Damn funky I love it!!! Always!

Trent beyond my words!!!

Lot of terds complaining about the backups. Trent, my biggest wish for you is to sit down with the Chicago Symphany Orchestra and score about half of your catalogue in a 3 hours symphany to instruments that'll make some of these gremlins sh*t a brick. "Wah, wah, tubas don't belong in NIN music, Wah Wah!" Frank Zappa scored a symphany, and it frustrated a lot of his drugged out, rock fans, many others were blown away and loved th project. FZ basically told the haters, "f*ck you. It's my music. Go listen to Prince if you don't like it." I could see Trent doing something similar. lol

Go on Trent, them them all how I feel!

Damn. I love this version.

Best live version of this. Good job, Reznor.

That guitar bend at 2;00 gives me fokken goosebumps

Everything about this tour was fucking amazing 🖤🖤🖤

God damn Trent was really feeling himself during this one

DAMN, WISHED I WAS THERE!!

All the ones that dislike the backups are entitled to their opinions, I personally love them, it's a different interpretation of classic songs, you want to hear the classic versions, plenty of other concert footage on the site. Trent, keep the backups!!

no but really this live version is EVERYTHING
