Live Preservation

Fan recordings, photographs, tickets, and setlist notes preserve concerts that have no official release.

Audience material records the date, venue, setlist, stage design, and view from the room. Different recordings of the same show may capture different details, from crowd sound to production scale.

This One Is On Us organized fan recordings and footage released by the NIN camp into Another Version Of The Truth after the planned Lights In The Sky film was abandoned. The NIN Live Archive continues that work by collecting recordings, documenting their sources, and keeping performances available after a tour ends.

Audio, video, and photographs preserve a view from inside the venue.

Dates, venues, setlists, and source details make the material usable.

Public archives keep recordings available after the tour ends.
