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.
Some of the songs (specifically "Something I Can Never Have", "The Day The World Went Away", and "Hurt") were performed in new, stripped-down form, considered acoustic, and Trent Reznor stated that the performances inspired Still, part of the And All That Could Have Been release.

Bootlegs
The soundboard quality audio bootleg of this performance is known as The CRC Sessions, Acoustic in Chicago, or Live and Deconstructed in Chicago.
In 2025, an eBay listing appeared for a CD-R that was supposedly officially mastered and mailed to the attendees. Differences to the tracklist include the CD having only one take of "Hurt" (which is split into two parts), omitting "The Big Come Down", censoring on "Something I Can Never Have" and "Hurt", and featuring an intro with James VanOsdol of Q101 talking to the audience.
