Included notes:
Back in 2014, Sal had messaged me on Twitter saying he had taped two SF shows in the early 90s after I had released a 1st gen copy of this recording. Took some time to find the tapes and I never followed up until I started going back through my emails during quarantine to follow any leads. Sal kindly obliged to send me the tapes to transfer for the archive!

This tape is amazing. What I feel is a massive upgrade in quality from the first gen transfer. The sound is a lot clearer and more range. After Sin there is a break because Trent had thrown his mic stand and hit drummer Chris Vrenna in the head and started to bleed. You can see the footage of it in the NIN video, Closure. Sal stops recording during the pause to save tape. Tape flip is during the beginning of Suck.

Big thanks to Sal for sending the tapes and allowing me to transfer them for the archive. I am super pumped about this upgrade. If you have Nine Inch Nails live recordings that are not available on the archive, I would love to hear from you and help you transfer any sort of media, if need be. Contact me at ryanj@reflectinginthechrome.com thank you!
