When the Whip Comes Down (subtitled Live From Woodstock '94) is a bootleg of Nine Inch Nails' performance at the Woodstock '94 music festival, held in Saugerties, New York on 13 August 1994. It was released as a CD by Italian company Kiss The Stone Records with the liner notes giving a brief commentary on the set.
"Pinion" and "Reptile" appear in edited form due to time constraints, however they are available in full on other bootlegs, although the quality of the sound recording for them is far exceeded by When the Whip Comes Down.
The liner notes read:
- Like creatures from the black lagoon they slunk on stage, caked head to toe in mud looking like they had just risen from the pits of hell. Nine Inch Nails, without doubt, proved to be the most successful show of the entire festival. They went hell for leather like there was no tomorrow, nothing could stop Trent Reznor and his crew, it was Apocalypse Now brought to life in a field in Saugerties and being transmitted worldwide by pay as you view cable to millions in the safe confines of their own homes. You had to be there as the rain fell to appreciate the sheer beauty of the Nine Inch Nails killing machine on its own out of control rampage. Take no prisoners was the saying of the day as victims fell on all side. Any act that makes even David Letterman sit up and take notice has got to be doing something right. Nine Inch Nails are like taking a helter skelter ride through a tunnel of broken glass. Nine Inch Nails will shred your soul.
