On April 27, 2000, [[Nine Inch Nails]] performed a special studio session at the Chicago Recording Company as part of the Live 101 series by Q101, a Chicago alternative rock radio station. About 40-50 Q101 radio contest winners were allowed to attend. The session was not broadcast on the radio. One or more tracks may have been intended for the Live 101 CD series, but none ever appeared on there either.
Some of the songs (specifically "[[Something I Can Never Have]]", "[[The Day The World Went Away (song)|The Day The World Went Away]]", and "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]") were performed in new, stripped-down form, considered acoustic, and [[Trent Reznor]] [[Still#About|stated]] that the performances inspired ''[[Still]]'', part of the ''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]]'' release.
