The CRC Sessions

On April 27, 2000, Nine Inch Nails played a special show at the Chicago Recording Company, broadcast on Chicago alternative rock radio station, Q101. 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

An image of the eBay listing of the supposed officially mastered CD-R that was mailed to attendees of the show.

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", omitting "The Big Come Down", and featuring an as-of-yet unknown intro.
