Changes

In 1995, [[Nine Inch Nails]] co-headlined the Outside '''Dissonance''' tour with [[David Bowie]]. These dates were part of the [[Self Destruct Touring Cycle]]. Although NIN were supposedly more popular than Bowie at the time, [[Trent Reznor]] felt uncomfortable having his idol open for him. So Thus, NIN played after the opening band [[Prick]] and before Bowie. Their set was named '''Dissonance'''.

After NIN played a re-worked reworked instrumental version of "[[Eraser]]", Bowie's band gradually came onto the stage to play 5 five songs with NIN. The opening song of this mini set was Bowie's "[[Subterraneans]]", featuring Reznor on saxophone. Reznor and Bowie sang duet throughout this dual mini-the rest of the set, with Reznor leaving the stage at the end for Bowie's band to perform their own set. NIN and Bowie's individual set lengths ended up being roughly equal. The joint set ended with a new version of "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]", performed mostly by Bowie's band and sung by Bowie and Reznor while NIN's gear was being removed from the stage. A live recording of this version appears on ''[[Closure]]''.

The concept was innovative for its time, and received low sales and mixed reviews. Generalizing here, the young crowd did not stay for Bowie's set despite the segue, and the old crowd did not get industrial. Nowadays, these shows are treasured by the [[bootlegs|bootleg ]] community.

There was a simple drapery style cloth backdrop that could be raised and lowered, hanging clusters of PAR can lights that shone down directly on individual band members, Trent performed a saxophone solo whilst Bowie intoned and keyboards on futuristic-looking metal stands. There were two sets of drums for NIN, allowing Vrenna and Clouser to play at the first verse of same time on "[[Scary Monsters]]" and " </li><li> '''Scary Monsters''' </li><li> '''[[Reptile]]''' </li><li> '''Hallo Spaceboy''' </li><li> '''[[Hurt]]''' – with a unique synth part; a performance ".
