At the opening gig of their current North American tour, Nine Inch Nails played 1992’s Broken EP in its entirety, including “Happiness In Slavery”, a fan-favorite which had not been performed live by the band since 1995.
At the first of two concerts at Phoenix’s Comerica Theatre, Trent Reznor and co. performed all eight tracks from Broken, which had been included in various live sets before, but never together. Along with “Happiness In Slavery,” which hadn’t been played live in 23 years, “Last” had not appeared in a setlist since their 2009 Wave Goodbye tour.
The original release of Broken included two cover songs; ‘Physical (You’re So)’, originally by Adam and the Ants and Pigface’s “Suck”. Both had not been performed since 2009 and 2013, respectively.
Add Violence’s “This Isn’t The Place”, a slow dirge in waltz tempo, was also debuted for the first time this evening.
