And All That Could Have Been (also known as Halo 17) is a live album set and double DVD released by Nine Inch Nails in 2002. And All That Could Have Been is the seventeenth official Nine Inch Nails release. The live album contains music recorded during the Fragility 2.0 US tour in 2000; a limited edition set added a second disc titled Still containing "deconstructed" versions of previous NIN songs and some new material. The double DVD set, sold separately, has video recordings of the songs performed on the CD, as well as additional song performances and footage from the Fragility 2.0 tour.

Contents

There are two retail versions of the CD set: a 'deluxe' limited edition, packaged in a gray cloth case that contains both the Live and Still CDs together in a fold-out digipak, and the standard edition that contains only the Live disc in a single digipak. However, the Still disc is also available separately, originally via mail order from the official nin.com website.

Live contains performances from the Fragility 2.0 tour. Reznor stated in 2005 on the official nin.com website[citation needed] that he was very depressed during the recording of the album, as was suspected by fans for years[citation needed]. Some of the lyrics in the songs featured on the album are different from the studio releases as Reznor is notorious for changing lyrics during live shows.

Still contains renditions of older songs as well as fresh material — including the title track "And All That Could Have Been", and the debut of Reznor's lyrics for the single "Deep". Of note is the track "Leaving Hope", which is also the name under which Reznor has published music since the beginning of his songwriting career. Originally composed for the movie One Hour Photo, "Gone, Still" and "The Persistence of Loss" were rejected by director Mark Romanek (who notably directed videos for "Closer" and "The Perfect Drug"). The latter track is a rarity in the Nine Inch Nails catalogue, as it features a live horn section. All of the songs on Still were performed on piano, acoustic guitar, electric piano, or other 'real' instruments backed by computer-generated synth textures. Videos for three songs from Still ("Something I Can Never Have", "The Becoming", and "Gone, Still") were released on the official NIN website.

Reznor also performed an intimate acoustic set at the Chicago Recording Company during the Fragility 2.0 tour, which is available online and on bootleg CD, as The CRC Sessions; it includes arrangements of "Something I Can Never Have" and "The Day the World Went Away" that prefigure their Still recordings, as well as two versions of "Hurt" and full band performances of "The Fragile", "Even Deeper", and "The Big Come Down".

The DVD version, produced by Trent Reznor and directed by Rob Sheridan, comprises video footage from the 2000 Fragility 2.0 Tour. Sheridan and other members of the band's crew filmed the tour using consumer DV cameras, and the DVD was then put together internally at Reznor's New Orleans studio, where Sheridan and Reznor edited it on a Mac using Final Cut Pro and compiled it with DVD Studio Pro. [1] There are two different versions of the DVD set: one with a 5.1 Dolby Digital surround soundtrack and the other with a 5.1 DTS surround soundtrack. The DTS version does not allow on-the-fly alternate angle switching. Other than this, both sets are identical. This video was also released on one VHS tape.

And All That Could Have Been has some secret videos and features hidden on the discs. They can be accessed via the DVD remote control:

"Gave Up" Hidden Angle:

During "Gave Up", at 26:58 hit ENTER on your remote, and it will jump to a single angle performance of "Gave Up" from a straight on vantage point in the crowd.

(NOTE: This easter egg does not work on the DTS version of And All That Could Have Been, because the stationary angles are only accessible from a "supplemental content" menu. The stationary angle of "Gave Up" can be found there.)

NinetyNine Commercial: (duration: 0:30)

In the "supplemental content" menu, highlight "Main Menu", then press LEFT, UP, then ENTER.

Reptile: (duration: 6:24)

During "Suck", at 1:06 press UP, then ENTER.

The Day the World Went Away Video: (duration: 6:36)

"Marilyn Manson With Nine Inch Nails At Madison Square Garden": (duration: 6:24)

During "Starfuckers, Inc.", at 24:15 hit ENTER, and it will jump to a video where Marilyn Manson finishes out the song, and then Manson and Reznor perform The Beautiful People (from the Madison Square Garden show).

"Beneath The Surface" Menu:

During "Head Like A Hole" on Disc 2, at 11:19, press "7" ("6" on some versions) and then ENTER to access a secret menu, called "Beneath The Surface". It contains the aforementioned live performances of "Reptile", "The Day the World Went Away", the "Starfuckers, Inc./The Beautiful People" video with Marilyn Manson, the aforementioned "NinetyNine" commercial, as well as promo spots for the album The Fragile (0:30) and the remix album Things Falling Apart (1:02).
