Performance notes
As Nine Inch Nails reached the conclusion of their performance, and as the stage-crew commenced working behind a large backdrop preparing for Bowie's performance, the band continued with David Bowie performing "Subterraneans", "Hallo Spaceboy" and "Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)", followed by two Nine Inch Nails songs "Reptile" and "Hurt" after which Bowie continued with his own set.[1]
Trent Reznor has gone on record numerous times as being heavily influenced by David Bowie[1], and further collaborated with Bowie by remixing "The Hearts Filthy Lesson" and later on 1997's "I'm Afraid of Americans" single. When asked in 1995 if his album Outside was influenced by Nine Inch Nails, Bowie answered, "the band that I was actually quite taken with was three guys from Switzerland call The Young Gods ... I’d been aware of them previous to knowing about Nine Inch Nails."[2]
Early in the tour, the "almost 100% Nails audience" provided a challenge to Bowie, who said "In those first weeks, we had to adjust emotionally to the fact that we were going to be challenged every night to get in sync with what people were coming to the show for. But then you start to recognize that if you're going to continue, you'd better enjoy what you're doing. The more we did that, the more it communicated to the audience. That's how it went from survival to being a good tour."[3]
Other opening acts
For the European leg of the tour, Morrissey was enlisted to provide support until his disappearance before the Aberdeen Exhibition Centre performance on 29 November 1995.[4] The support slot was filled on later dates by The Gyres, Echobelly, Placebo and a variety of local bands.
Live recordings
The 13 December 1995 performance at the National Exhibition Centre (Hall 5) - Birmingham, England, billed as the Big Twix Mix Show with Alanis Morissette and the Lightning Seeds supporting was filmed by BBC TV with excerpts broadcast at a later date.
