I went to a Nine Inch Nails concert summer 2008, the tech for the staging was interactive and incredible.

There were 3 vertical layered of screens, an LED screen backdrop and 2 semitransparent screens in front, with the band between the layers.

The set also was interactive at times using touch, lights and presence as the interaction method.

The Nine Inch Nails – The Making Of from Moment factory shows some of how they did it. More info about Moment factory.

Here’s a video someone took in Seattle which is taken from a side balcony and gives a pretty good idea of how it was set up and the different ways the set was used.

We have come a long way baby…
