Skinny Puppy's VIVIsectVI Tour Support in 1988

[CAMEO172]

So this is a Cleveland 88 gig but outside of Skinny Puppy support ! or a Cleveland 1989 before October and still with the first line up

Lesson 7 is for sure the support band of the Skinny gig.

I discovered a November 11 1988 date in Pittsburg, there is probably an other one and it may explain the Sex Dwarf cover outside of a "real" NIN gig

Regarding the Cleveland poster, I think that's probably just revisionist history on Trent's part. If you read some of Trent's interviews from 1989, he totally bashes the 1988 appearances and the band, so I think saying the 1989 date was NIN's Cleveland debut is his way of trying to erase, disavow, or just ignore the 1988 stuff.

good point to you
