→Stage Set-Up
The second part of the [[Self Destruct Tour]], often referred to as the '''Further Down The Spiral Tour''', took place between August 1994 and February 1995 in North America in support of ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]''. The tour is part of the [[Self Destruct Touring Cycle]]. Opening acts for this tour were [[Related bands and artists#Hole|Hole]], [[Jim Rose Circus]], [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]], [[Related bands and artists#The Melvins|The Melvins]] and [[Pop Will Eat Itself]].
The Dallas and Omaha shows in 1995 were [[Closure#Abandoned_1995_tour_film|professionally filmed]] by Simon Maxwell and intended for home video release, but the project was scrapped. The footage eventually leaked online in 2022.

==Stage Set-Up==
[[Image:40 large.jpg|thumb|Self Destruct Touring cycle stage. Photo from [[The NIN Historian]].]]The stage setup for this tour was somewhat basic. 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 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 keyboard was 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/] 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.
