In 1995, Nine Inch Nails performed "Physical" live with Adam Ant for two nights in a row [[1995/01/06 New York City, NY|in New York City]]. After Reznor introduced Adam Ant and Marco Pirroni on the second night, Adam Ant proclaimed to the audience, "It's nice to be on stage with the best fucking band in the world."

===Bonus Tracks===
''Physical'' and ''Suck'' were originally meant to feature on a 12" single set to coincide with NIN's [[Lollapalooza Tour]] shows, that was unable to be released due to record label difficulties. Reznor felt that the tracks were worthy of being released regardless however, and thus recorded them for the EP. The first 250,000 copies included a 3.5" CD with the bonus tracks "Physical" and "Suck" in a small envelope inside the digipak. After discovering that some unscrupulous record store owners were selling the bonus disc as a separate entity, Reznor had the format changed and the EP was re-released as a single CD, with the bonus tracks occupying track numbers 98 and 99. Tracks 7 through 97 all contain 1–3 seconds of dead air, leaving a gap of 1:31–4:33 between "Gave Up" and "Physical". For the vinyl release, the main tracks were released as a 12", with the bonus tracks on a 7" contained inside the album sleeve. Reznor has explained why the tracks were released as they were: ''"It was a way to distance them from the other music because it wasn't part of the same mind set. Unfortunately, the risk involved is, with radio being as conservative as it is, I knew they would jump on "Physical" or "Suck" because they're a bit more digestible than the other stuff, so I've tried to make them as obscure as possible."''[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/xart196.shtml]
