Even though he was the opening act of the Nine Inch Nails tour, Saul Williams was the highlight of the show as far as I'm concerned.

He opened up with the poem that is at the last bit of the movie "Slam" (which is also very good), then just did songs from his self titled album. Some sounded just like on the album, some sounded even more like poetry than they do on the album, and on occasion he'd drop the beat completely and just do it spoken word style. He was flat out wonderful!

Nine Inch Nails was also excellent. It was my first time seeing them for whatever reason, and I was impressed. They did a three song bit where they had a cloth dropped and just showed visuals on that with a big projector, that was very cool! Overall, I enjoyed the hell out of last night, but I've found myself listening to nothing but Saul Williams today.

Is anyone else planning on going to this tour? Anyone already been? Anyone have a different opinion about this tour, and think I missed something because I was too focused on the opener?
