Changes

"La Mer" made its live debut on [[1999/11/14 Barcelona, Spain|November 14, 1999]]. On ''And All That Could Have Been,'' it is performed live against the backdrop of three visual screens that display images of the sea. Towards the end of the song, Reznor presses against the screen on the center and moves his hands across the panel, as the blurry image of a woman is revealed before the screen fades to black. The imagery was provided by Bill Viola. During the [[Fragility v2.0]] tour, the main piano melody was played on a Martin Backpacker mini acoustic guitar.

On the [[With Teeth: Summer Amphitheater Tour]] and [[Performance 2007]]tours, Reznor played a piano-only version of "La Mer", including an initial improvisation, before playing "Into the Void", and it is sometimes confused with "Adrift And At Peace". The band began playing "La Mer" in full again on the [[Wave Goodbye Tour]].

During the [[Cold And Black And Infinite Fragility]] touring cycle, [[Robin Finck]] would play the main piano melody on a Martin Backpacker mini acoustic guitar. From the Wave Goodbye Tourto the [[NIN 2022|2022 tour]], Finck would play the main piano melody was on xylophone. [[Ilan Rubin]] played additional percussion on a MalletKAT during the Wave Goodbye Tour only. During the [[Peel It Back Tour]], Finck returned to playing the main piano melody on xylophonean acoustic guitar.  On [[2009/09/10 Los Angeles, CA|September 10, 2009]], [[2018/12/14_Los_Angeles,_CA|December 14, 2018]], and [[2018/12/15_Los_Angeles,_CA|December 15, 2018]], [[Mike Garson]] joined the band to perform the song live.
