Changes

In 1995, [[Nine Inch Nails]] co-headlined the Outside ''Dissonance'' tour with [[David Bowie]]. The tour is part of the [[Self Destruct Touring Cycle]]. Although NIN were supposedly more popular than Bowie at the time, Trent Reznor felt uncomfortable having his idol open for him. So NIN played after the opening band [[Prick]] and before Bowie. Their set was named '''Dissonance'''.

After NIN played a re-worked instrumental version of "[[Eraser]]", Bowie's band gradually came onto the stage to play 5 five songs with NIN. Reznor and Bowie sang duet throughout this dual mini-set, with Reznor leaving the stage at the end for Bowie's band to perform their own set. NIN and Bowie's individual set lengths ended up being roughly equal. The joint set ended with new version of "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]", performed mostly by Bowie's band and sang by Bowie and Reznor. A live recording of this version appears on ''[[Closure]]''.

The concept was innovative for its time, and received low sales and mixed reviews. Generalizing here, the young crowd did not stay for Bowie's set despite the segue, and the old crowd did not get industrial. Nowadays, these shows are treasured by the [[bootlegs|bootleg ]] community.

== NIN and Bowie set Stage Set-Up==<ol start="11"><li> The stage design for this tour was done by ''Closure'Subterraneans''' – over top the synthesizers, Trent performed a saxophone solo whilst Bowie intoned the first verse of "Scary Monsters" <documentarian Jonathan Rach.[https:/li><li> '''Scary Monsters''' </li><li> '''[[Reptile]]''' </li><li> '''Hallo Spaceboy''' <www.youtube.com/li><li> '''[[Hurtwatch?v=b4-xRCZGDsw]]''' – The overall look was very clean and stripped-down, contrasted with the previous legs of the Self Destruct Touring Cycle. There was a unique synth part; a performance simple drapery style cloth backdrop that could be raised and lowered, hanging clusters of PAR can lights that shone down directly on individual band members, and keyboards on futuristic-looking metal stands. There were two sets of drums, allowing Vrenna and Clouser to play at the same time, when needed. All members of this version is included NIN were dressed in dark clothing while Bowie and his band were usually dressed in [[Closure]] </li></ol>light clothing. Background projections were used during the portion of the set where NIN and Bowie were performing together.
