Beside You in Time (also known as Halo 22) is an upcoming live release by Nine Inch Nails (NIИ), set for US release on February 27, 2007. It will document the 2006 leg of the "Live: With Teeth" tour, and will be available on DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray video formats (with no accompanying CD release).

[edit] Trailer
On September 22, 2006, a 42-second teaser for the video was discovered on the official NIN website and information regarding it was posted to the main page a day later.[1] The trailer features live audio of the title track set to images from the "Live: With Teeth" show, including the film montage directed by Andrea Giacobbe that accompanied the songs "Eraser" and "Right Where It Belongs".[2] The trailer ends with a very brief audio snippet of the song "With Teeth".
[edit] Difference between formats
According to comments made by video director Rob Sheridan on the Spiral,[3] the video content of each format will not vary aside from differences in resolution, bitrate and functionality. Sheridan also commented that Microsoft had to update its high-definition VC-1 video codec specifically to accommodate the highly frenetic and thus difficult to compress video imagery of a live Nine Inch Nails show at the highest allowable bitrate, and further elaborated that all three formats would have Dolby Digital soundtracks in both stereo (mixed by Dave Ogilvie) and 5.1 surround sound (mixed by Elliot Scheiner); in addition, they will include higher-resolution versions of the surround audio: either DTS, as on the DVD, or Dolby TrueHD, as on the Blu-ray and HD DVD. Sheridan said the DVD packaging will be housed in a digipak, whereas the other two discs will be in format-labeled (red for HD DVD, blue for Blu-ray) plastic cases; a FAQ detailing more specific differences between formats will be made available on the Body of Work section of the NIN website soon.[4]
[edit] Content
Prior to the concert dates, Trent Reznor announced on the Spiral[3] that two consecutive shows on the "Live: With Teeth" tour (namely, March 28, 2006 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and March 30, 2006 in El Paso, Texas) would be filmed in high-definition video for future release: these were presumably the shows edited into the main feature of Beside You in Time. On December 8, 2006, the official Nine Inch Nails website was updated with a cover design, set-list and release date for Beside You in Time. The official track listing is:
- "Love Is Not Enough"
- "You Know What You Are?"
- "Terrible Lie"
- "The Line Begins to Blur"
- "March of the Pigs"
- "Something I Can Never Have"
- "Closer"
- "Burn"
- "Gave Up"
- "Eraser"[5]
- "Right Where It Belongs"[5]
- "Beside You in Time" [5]
- "With Teeth"
- "Wish"
- "Only"
- "The Big Come Down"
- "Hurt"
- "The Hand that Feeds"
- "Head Like a Hole"
This list contains 8 songs from With Teeth, 1 from The Fragile, 4 from The Downward Spiral, 2 from Broken, 3 from Pretty Hate Machine, and 1 standalone single ("Burn", also released on The Downward Spiral Deluxe Edition). Seven of these songs overlap with those in the previously released live footage on Closure, and seven overlap with the And All that Could Have Been DVD.[6] Several NIN songs played at the filmed concerts in March were not included on the official track-listing:[7] "Sin", which was played on March 28; "Every Day Is Exactly the Same", "Even Deeper" and "Suck", which were all played on both dates; and pre-recorded intro tracks "Pilgrimage", as used on March 28, and "Pinion", as used on March 30 (presumably one or both of these will be used to open the main feature, as "Pinion" was on And All that Could Have Been).
Reznor stated on the Spiral[3] that all three formats would contain bonus material from the With Teeth era of the band, including footage of the summer 2006 amphitheater tour (featuring a significantly different light show than the arena tour), which Sheridan filmed "sporadically" on hand-held consumer HD cameras throughout the last thirteen shows of the tour for these songs:
- "Somewhat Damaged"
- "Closer"
- "Help Me I Am In Hell"
- "Non-Entity"
- "Only"
There will also be an image gallery and several standard-definition bonus videos included on the release: music videos for "The Hand That Feeds" and "Only", which were previously released on DVD singles, and clips of "Love Is Not Enough", "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" and "The Collector" live at rehearsals in 2005.[8]
