Reznor performed a new version of "Piggy" on piano with a string quartet at Neil Young's 2006 [[Bridge School Benefit]] concert. This was most likely the inspiration for the "Ghosts Piggy" arrangement that was used in 2008's [[Lights In The Sky Tour]]. It features [[Justin Meldal-Johnsen]] on upright bass and Reznor on shaker and marimba, usually segueing directly from "[[19 Ghosts III]]" via Reznor's shaker playing as it slows from the quicker tempo to match that of "Ghosts Piggy". Its title is sourced from tour setlists.
When playing "Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)" for the Peel It Back Tour, the song was played entirely on the B-stage; most of the song would be played without live drums and instead have programmed beats triggered by [[Atticus Ross]]. After the final chorus, [[Ilan Rubin]] or [[Josh Freese]] would play a drum solo, being projected onto the main stage curtain while the rest of the band moves from the B-stage to the main stage. While seguing from the drum solo to [[Wish]], the drummer would play the drum part for a different song, usually "[[No, You Don't]] " or "[[Getting Smaller]]".
