In early 1990, Nine Inch Nails was the opening act on The Jesus and Mary Chain's Automatic Tour. The tour is part of the Pretty Hate Machine Tour series.

Line-Up

David Haymes: Keyboards, backing vocals
Richard Patrick: Guitar, backing vocals
Trent Reznor: Vocals, guitar
Chris Vrenna: Drums

Stage Set-Up

As these shows were opening sets, the stage was as basic as possible. It appears there were some intances where, in order to leave room for the headliner's gear in the background, NIN's drum kit was stage right of Reznor and the keyboard was stage left of Patrick.
