Nine Inch Nails played "Starfuckers, Inc" for 1st time in 10 years at first of three Chicago Shows (pics, setlist, video)

Nine Inch Nailstour with The Jesus and Mary Chain hit Chicago on Thursday night (10/25) for their first of three shows at Aragon Ballroom. Trent Reznor and co. continue to switch up the setlists on this tour, and they pulled out The Fragile track “Starfuckers, Inc,” which hasn’t been played live in 10 years. Watch video of that below.

NIN’s set also included classics like “March of the Pigs,” “Reptile,” “The Perfect Drug,” “Wish,” “Head Like A Hole,” and “Hurt” which was the final song of the encore. Their setlist, plus an official live video of NIN playing “Ahead of Ourselves” (from this year’s Bad Witch), are below.

The Jesus and Mary Chain, meanwhile, have kept their setlists pretty standard across the tour, but packed with favorites, opening with “Just Like Honey,” and including “Head On,” “Blues from a Gun,” “Some Candy Talking,” “Far and Gone Out” and “Reverence.” JAMC’s Aragon Night 1 setlist is also below.

Nine Inch Nails and The Jesus & Mary Chain play Aragon Ballroom again tonight (10/26) and Saturday (10/27). Check out pics from Thursday’s show in the gallery above, and you can read our review of the tour’s first NYC show here.
