Saul Williams performs Banged and Blown with Nine Inch Nails live
On May 10, 2009, Nine Inch Nails delivered a memorable performance at the Lakewood Amphitheatre in Atlanta, highlighted by a surprise appearance from the talented Saul Williams. This live recording features their collaborative track "Banged and Blown Through," showcasing a fusion of Williams' powerful spoken word style with Trent Reznor's industrial rock sound. At this point in their career, Nine Inch Nails had recently wrapped up their highly acclaimed album "The Slip," released just a year prior in 2008. Interestingly, this performance came during their farewell tour, which led to a temporary hiatus for the band, marking a significant moment in their history. Fans were not only treated to a dynamic collaboration, but they also witnessed the culmination of an era for a band that had reinvented the music landscape since the late '80s.
