Stage Set-Up

Fragility v1.0 lighting

The European and Japanese legs of this tour featured a flowing, gauzy backdrop that could be backlit as needed, and large chandelier-like lighting pods that hung down over the band, with PAR cans and narrow light tubes that glowed and flashed during certain songs in the set.

A notable piece of gear was Clouser's custom keyboard stand, similar to the custom stand used by Reznor on the Self Destruct Touring Cycle, which could rotate in different directions and was fitted with a motorcycle shock absorber.[1] Reznor also had several custom guitars during this tour, with imagery from the album artwork on the bodies.

There was also a projection screen for three songs in the middle of the show, "La Mer," "The Great Below," and "The Way Out Is Through". "La Mer" was accompanied by footage of the ocean, "The Great Below" by microscopic footage of things such as cell division or a heart valve in action, and "The Way Out Is Through" by reflected water ripples that would distort and pixelate with the music. In April 2018 a tape with the ocean footage made by David Carson was bought on ebay and shared on ETS, and can be watched here.
