Give us 5 minutes for mud. NIN at Woodstock 94 right before their performance. 

'Hey, we're having a private meeting here.' 'We're having trouble finding private mud.' 😂

I like how people always said Trent was on acid and shrooms had it in his gloves etc and here he is clear headed as hell making organized chaotic decisions haha

Trent was so nervous for this show, and when the bass didn’t kick in at the start of Terrible Lie he wigged out then lost the vocal cadence at the bridge and just starts screaming. He cared man. True showman.

"Give us five minutes for mud." Haha! This is great. So interesting to see Danny saying there's no nine inch nails fans and no one knows them there. I guess that was about to change...

Oh my god… The whole ‘we just slipped in the mud’ story has been bs this whole time! This is priceless. Thanks for sharing!

Little did they know that a statue of Trent covered in mud would be at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as they’re inducted years and years later.

Kate Van Buren was married to James Joseph Woodlley who I think is the one with the bandana on. James passed away in 2016. It's cool to see this video and the whole band.

I love how they show Trent Reznor in a whole new light 💡.

15 minutes later, their lives change forever

I mean Trent is all about the concept. and now NIN has Mud sculpture replicas displaying and marked a spot in history of Rock and roll

Ah the 90s, it was like the 60s but 30 years later

This is insane. That this footage still exists after all this time, and it's preserved very well. Thank you for uploading these things that must surely have been in your possession for some time. These are moments I always kind of wondered about as a young NIN fan.

Crazy interesting to see some of them physically warming up and stretching before a performance. As a young drummer i remember having to stretch before showing or id cramp up and fatigue faster. I used to get laughed at for stretching but it helped me perform better.

94 NIN Woodstock was insane!!!!!! Easily one of the best performances in rock n roll history !!!

Private mud lmao, i get it though, they needed to make an impact and this was their chance, i really admire how Trent´s mind was working here.

It's blowing my mind that the mud fight was actually planned!

Wow, what a snapshot! Reznor is strategic AF.

I left Primus and ran through the backstage, getting chased the entire way, to make it to the North stage just in time for Larry Bud Melman's intro of NIN. The warm-up show in Poughkeepsie was 🔥 and I went to Saugerties to see Blind Melon and NIN. 🤘🏼 What a weekend!🤘🏼

30 years went by fast...

Trent is a strategist and mastermind and businessman, besides being an industrial rock god.

No Nine Inch Nails fans waiting for us. He couldn't have been anymore wrong

James made playing keyboard look as cool as the guitar. I wish he was in the band longer. R.I.P.

More to the story of one of the greatest performances in rock history. Very cool footage.

Thanks for the video, Kate. This is amazing and hilarious! "We're having trouble finding private mud" 😂

This is so amazing! It feels like watching behind the scenes in a historical performance

I love that you've been sitting on this one! Just in time for TDS anniversary! Thank you James and Kate

Holy grail of NIN/Woodstock 94 footage right here!! Wow!! Thank you so much! Keep em coming if you got em!

“We’re having trouble finding private mud.” HA! I love that!

The night they became legends and cemented their legacy in music history. What a time!

Absolutely amazing to be able to see this footage 30 years later. Thank you for posting.

I was there for that. Nine Inch Nails blew everbody else off the stage.

This is historical footage

Increíble footage! Thanks for posting on the 30th anniversary of Downward Spiral's release

This was one of the most, if not the most iconic live performances in music ever. Clips from this show were in every single household for weeks, the news, radio station djs, even late night talk show hosts were talking about it. Everyone was talking about it. Up until that point the world had never seen anything like that, not even close, and it blew everyone away. This performance is what made them a household name and gave them the career that is still going strong today. I actually can't believe I'm watching this footage and that it exists and I'm very grateful you decided to share it. Unbelievably precious. Please keep sharing.

Thank you for encoding and posting such an incredible piece of history!

This is like going back in time with a time machine and being in that same room with them as a tiny invisible insect. Something which I frequently thought about and wished I could do, to go see my favourite rock icons. This footage is golden. Thanks for sharing ✌🏻

I will watch all these woodstock videos in order before watching the show from now on .

Love!! Thanks for always sharing such great stuff 🙏

This is amazing and really cool. Thanks for sharing the moments before such an iconic performance.

That was amazing. Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the video!!! i love behind the scenes insight so glad he had the wherewithal and spontaneity and imagination AND a great team to bring this idea to life

Hi Kate, hope you're doing okay. Thanks for unearthing more videos, they are pleasant surprises. I'm always happy to see more of James....and I get the feeling that he'd be quite glad to see everyone's enthuastic reactions here. Definitely made me smile today. - Jon

As always, thank you Kate ! This is pure gold

I love this so much. I was 15 years old waiting all night to watch this lol it was my favorite show of theirs. I think I wore out the type. It’s funny how the mud thing wasn’t an accident lmao

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing, not only this but all of your fantastic videos!

Thank you for posting this! :)

The roadie ˋs Manson shirt is awesome. Spooky kids era artwork.

Absolutely iconic footage! Thanks for this. These guys were minutes away from making history. Rip James

What a rare gem this is, thank you so much for uploading. 30 years later and NIN still electrify

Kate back at it again with some of the best footage of the guys during TDS era! Thank you as always for sharing this with us🖤🖤🖤

Thank you for sharing this! I love BTS content, and this is a great addition to the NIN lore

I miss James! Man, I’m loving these videos!

Thank you for the "locker room footage" before the BIG SHOW!!! Trent delivered pure energy and power that night!!!!

This is my favorite video you have posted Kate , it shows Trent as human just like the rest of us . When he asks the guys to go hard tonight , he knows the world is wat hing and this could make the band huge worldwide with a amazing performance . And that is exactly what happened even with tech difficulties !!!

Wow! I love how Trent wants to just crush this thing and knows they cant touch the Metallica fans😂 Its also rad how he is like. Give us 5 min for mud! Cant find mud, i suggest buckets will trash this place and bring the buckets!

These videos are everything truly.

"Everyone take their medicine today" A reference to a "Daily fix"? He was hanging out with Al Jurgeson quite a bit around this time.

wow thanks for this

This video breaks down into two parts. Pt. 1: “It is our sacred duty to destroy Aerosmith” Pt. 2: A surprisingly spirited discussion about where to get the best fucking mud

i always have problems finding private mud myself.

Amazing job...great vault document

amazing!! James Joseph Wooley thanks for your art, talent, humilty and great contribution to NIN

Wow, thank you so much. The secret history we all yearned for

Thanks for posting this Kate. The mud footage made 'The Closure' if i am not mistaken. 🖤

“Rollins doesn’t matter” I mean he’s not wrong lol

Wow..just b4 imo THE BEST Woodstock performance ever

Thanks so much for sharing this. Very cool to see NIN right before they hit the stage. I would love to know if you have any live footage in some of these tapes you have. As I'd love to preserve it on the archive. Thank you!

This is freaking incredible to watch! holy shit man

I remember the excitement and butterflies I'd feel before going to play to thirty people. I can't even fathom this.

Love this stuff

Nice upload ❤ thanks

The best part of this performance is that NIN said if the crowd is wet and miserable, we'll be too. Nothing more lame than when you're in a crowd at a show in the rain drenched, but the band is dry and smilling.

thank you!!!

This footage is legendary

I was sixteen and left home to drive across the country from California to Woodstock in a geo metro with two buddies. I called my mom from Nebraska to let her know where I was going. Nine Inch Nails came on right after Crosby, Stills & Nash right as it was starting to get dark. I remember the entire crowd turned into a giant mosh pit when Terrible Lie started. I already loved NIN but that show is what made me choose 17117 as my pager code id the next year when I got my first pager. IYKYK…

completely incredible 🙂

I was there and it was so awesome when they came out covered in mud,their set was so good hard to believe it was 30yrs ago

This show catapulted them into another universe

Been using this and the rest of the videos as good preview for to see their Woodstock show again. I truly appreciate these coming out and also for the late Woolley even taking the time to document these. Idk what prompted him to do so if he had a premonition of us NIN fans seeing this in the future or some other convenience but it’s so cool to see. Just before history was made.

This now closer to the original Woodstock than it is today...

Wild. Wow they are so nervous in this video. I remember the feeling before playing early live shows, i can only imagine how amplified it was for a show like this.

I love Trent then and do now but like Kurt before him he is contradictory in a lot of ways throughout his early career. Fact he is ripping bands and fans of Aerosmith, Metallica, Santana, and CS&N while he’s meticulously planning on how cover themselves in mud and present (and sell!) a whole image and act so they can go down in history is hysterical. This performance WAS and IS legendary and his plan worked but in retrospect there was no need to worry about or compete with the other bands - just do your thing, man.

I love how the crowd just thinks this happens me and da boys had everything planned to the tee

Amazing

Kate, thank you so much for keep that secret for almost 30 years ;) Do you remember who are the roadies on stage?

Geniuses at work!

This is gold

Love watching Trent steer his ship

The way they’re thinking how to beat Metallica is amazing

I love it. Spinal tap, but so cool at the same time

Little did they know it wasn't just mud they would be covered in. 😬

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gracias por este video historico♥♥♥♥♥

Trent is such a marketing genius! 🧠

I always had a hunch that the mud fight was planned

I has a little rectangle Black NIN sticker on my car at this time. Aug94...i was 17yrs old

0:43 “medicine?” Lol

I was there. Awesome show

“Private mud”

Robin 😂 don’t be jumping in a puddle thinking it’s mud because it’ll just wash it all off 🤣🤘 that’s thinking ahead there 😎🖤

haha...I had no idea the mud thing was staged/planned.....nice job. Trent is a true professional and artist.
