NIN Live - Best Of

The Best Recordings of the Last 35 Years

I have been getting a lot of requests to make a "best of" page. These are some of the recordings that I personally like from each tour. If you are not looking for a specific show and are just looking for sound quality, then this is the list for you. This list does not mean these are the only great recordings on the archive. There are certainly load more as there are over 1,000+ recordings in the archive at this point. But these are some of my favorite from each tour. The links will direct you to the shows page, where you can download the recording. Enjoy!
