==Stage Set-Up==

The stage set-up design for this tour was designed done by ''[[Closure]]'' documentarian Jonathan Rach.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4-xRCZGDsw] An onstage lighting detail was provided by very tall columns with a single spotlight atop each one. There was a large draped backdrop made of rubber with a satin-like finish, and chunks of linen-like fabric hung across the top of the stage structure. There was also a three-piece scrim at the front of the stage that would be pulled away during the first song. The drums and main keyboard were both on large, rustic wooden risers with pieces of dark fabric hanging off them and what appear to be fake blood stains. Reznor's An additional keyboard was attached to the drum riser, mounted on a swinging stand fitted with a motorcycle shock absorber, and . Lohner's keyboard stand had nails and screws welded to the edge of it.[https://www.reddit.com/r/nin/comments/81j2mg/obscure_gear_question/]For this leg of the tour, a fourth keyboard was situated next to the main keyboard riser, on a stand that was designed to look like a ribcage on its lower portion.
This was the first [[NIN ]] tour to feature a projection screen for three slow songs in the middle of the show, in this case "[[Eraser]]"," "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]"," and "[[The Downward Spiral (song)|The Downward Spiral]]"." "Eraser" was accompanied by visuals of the desert, "Hurt" by compiled stock footage of various bleak imagery such as war atrocities and decaying animals, and "The Downward Spiral" by a visual of a wall that is made to appear doused in blood during the song's climax.
==Typical setlist==
#"[[I Do Not Want This]]"
#"[[Something I Can Never Have]]"
Also "[[Physical]]"," "[[Burn (song)|Burn]]"," "[[Get Down, Make Love]]"," and "[[Terrible Lie]]" made a few occasional appearances at the second half of the show or at the encore.
