Nine Inch Nails featuring Saul Williams perform Survivalism live in Atlanta
In the performance of 'Survivalism' on May 10, 2009, at the Lakewood Amphitheatre in Atlanta, Nine Inch Nails showcased their fierce energy and innovative sound during a period of intense creativity. Just a year prior, in 2008, the band released 'The Slip,' which not only marked a significant evolution in their music but was also notable for being a free digital download, embodying Trent Reznor's commitment to challenging industry norms. This live recording features spoken-word artist and actor Saul Williams, who made a surprise appearance, adding an extra layer of dynamism to the performance. It’s a testament to Reznor’s collaborative spirit, often blending different musical styles and voices into his work, which makes every Nine Inch Nails concert an unpredictable experience for fans.
