About
The live performance on October 7th, 2005 took place at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, IL with Queens Of The Stone Age and Autolux opening the show.
This was the first show featuring Alex Carapetis on drums, who apparently rehearsed the set for the first time less than 24 hours before the show.

That night after the show, Trent updated the "TR" section of nin.com with a post explaining the drummer situation and detailing the stress of touring:
God DAMN I am tired. These last few days have been a pain in the ass trying to get the drummer situation squared away. Add to that a ridiculous amount of travel and attempting to cram in rehearsals and AAAGH. Anyway, Josh Freese helped us out by playing the SLC and Denver shows as a substitute, while Alex Carapetis took over tonight in Chicago. We played the set with Alex for the first time at midnight the night before... not exactly how I like to do things but the only other alternative was to cancel more shows and I am NOT going to do that. I can't begin to tell you what a difficult job it is to replace your drummer in this band, and these guys have truly risen to the high-pressure situation that it is. Onward. 10:55pm_PST
