In the Summer of 2006, [[Nine Inch Nails ]] embarked upon its Summer Amphitheatre Tour (also called the '''Inconvenient Truth Tour'''), featuring [[:Category:Supporting_Acts|supporting artists]] [[Saul Williams]], [[Bauhaus]], [[TV On the Radio]], and [[Peaches]]. The tour is part of the [[Live: With Teeth]] tour. Due to the unique lighting and production elements on this leg of the tour, select songs were included as a bonus on the ''[[Beside You In Time (halo)|Beside You In Time]]'' DVD/Blu-ray. Each performance (except 5/26 in George, WA) had a unique poster for sale.
==Line-Up==
Signature aspects of this tour, omitting the usual suspects:
*"[[Somewhat Damaged]]": With the house lights still on and crew still on the stage, Reznor would suddenly appear near the cage and begin the first verse right away. This caught fans unsuspected as the band had usually begun shows with a pre-recorded track such as "[[Pinion]]" to build up the hype.
*"[[Closer]]" with "[[The Only Time]]" breakdown: Reznor stood in front of the center panel whilst it glowed red, reminiscent of [[Fragility 2.0]]. This produced an illusionary silhouette effect, especially for the audience members far away from the stage; it looked like the lights were moving instead of the completely contrasted dark figure that was TrentReznor.
*"[[Help Me I Am In Hell]]": Cage was down for "lava lamp"-esque visuals.
*"[[Non-Entity]]": The previous song hyped the crowd up for "[[Happiness In Slavery (song)|Happiness In Slavery]]"," but instead of havoc-wreaking machinery they heard this instead. The upside is the eerie "fading away" tentacle effect on the cage during the chorus.
*"[[Only (song)|Only]]": Pixel-y static visuals zooming in and out due to the contrast twixt cage and panels.
*"[[La Mer]]": Reznor begins by improvising on the keyboard a bit, and then lead into the beginning of "La Mer"." North joins in, and right when the build up is supposed to occur, the band directly cuts to "[[Into The Void (song)|Into The Void]]"," a song with the same theme. The panels glow pink for "Into the Void"."
*"[[The Big Come Down]]": Arguably the live performance of this song is far more aggressive and energetic than the album version.
*"[[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]]": Energetic song always used to end the show. As the song faded out, the cage was lowered, this time with the [[Logo History|NIN logo]] appearing on it.
