In reviewing nine inch nails� London show, Melody Maker stated, "Pretty great machine...there�s no one who uses the word f*ck quite like Trent Reznor...Reznor is a law unto himself...Reznor has the mystique of a dark angel, a presence that permeates every awe-filled onlooker." In Milan, La Republica stated, "hard, intense, visionary music...nine inch nails have literally driven to collective exaltation the people gathered at The Alcatraz in Milan...it was the hardest and most fascinating rock show of the year."
The footage for the special has been culled from shows in Barcelona, Milan, Munich, Vienna, Berlin, Copenhagen, Paris, Dusseldorf, Tilburg and London, and was shot by both fans - picked randomly from the crowd - and professional cameramen.

The band plans to tour the U.S. in early 2000. Watch nin.com and MTV.com�s nine inch nails A-Z page for special tour announcements and information.
