About NIN Live

NIN Live (Reflecting in the Chrome) was created in 2008 at the end of The Lights in the Sky tour. Over the years NIN has been captured live by many people; there are hundreds upon hundreds of recordings. However, there was not a site that collected these recordings and shared them with NIN fans. ninlive is an archive of Nine Inch Nails' live recordings over the last 20 years. All recordings are available for download free of charge.

This site was also formed to create a single external hard drive that contains all NIN recordings, aptly called the NIN Drive. Every live NIN recording in existence is on it and is available to anyone who would like it. Visit our NIN Drive page for details.

We are always looking for more recordings to host. It does not matter what quality or what media it is. If you have a recording that is not on the site, please contact us! We want the archives to be as accurate and comprehensive as possible.

There are a few people who are vital to nin live becoming what it is today. Dassarri is a co-founder of the site who set up the NIN drive. He's a big contributor to taping as well as hunting down new NIN sources. Hahninator helped out tremendously in developing the initial site back in March of 2009. Pleatherface who designed the new layout you see today. TheBang who helped upload over 300 GB worth of NIN live audio to nin live for me at blazing speeds! Gladcarrot, who has an amazing site and has a vast collection and lot of information about older NIN tours as well as the most comprehensive tour history site for Nine Inch Nails, The NIN Historian. Thanks to ACC123456 for uploading almost every show that was missing from the archive, and Mr. Fang for all of the sources and information that he has contributed to the NIN drive!!! A big THANK YOU to ALL of them! I cannot thank you enough.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy the site.

NIN Live on the web

Although the nin live archive has had a presence on social media since 2008. There have been multiple "attacks." Or should I say, reporting of the social media profiles stating that the archive has violated usage agreements or that this page has been "impersonating." It first happened with the FaceBook page a handful of years ago that saw the page banned, with no reason given. Only until recently the YouTube page had been restricted on uploads and not able to provide links in our descriptions. A week after that, our Instagram was permanently disabled without warning. I reached out to NIN management and said they knew nothing about it. Which I was very certain they would have notified me about. It has me wondering if someone wrongfully reported me.. Which is a real shame.

Social media was a great way to gather new information and sources of older shows. I don't think nin live's social media pages ever intended to 'impersonate' the band and it was flat out said it was a fan page/website. I don't think you can really violate any terms of usage by posting photos of ticket stubs, setlists, concert photos/video from fans or recordings that are available on the archive. No commercially available media was used. Again, just a shame. It was a nice way to connect with other fans to talk about our favorite band. I don't have the energy to create new accounts and start over. So please, spread the word about the archive if you can. It is the only way for more people to know about it and potentially find more recordings. I hope whomever maliciously had it out to disable these accounts sleeps well.
