Shortly after taking the stage at Neumos last night wearing a cape, a number of long, gold-colored necklaces and an impressively large amount of blue eye shadow, Saul Williams hectored the crowd at Neumos to let ourselves go for once.

Saul Williams has done a little bit of everything. He’s an actor, a poet, a spoken-word performer, a musician and a writer. Since we first discovered him in the movie Slam -- which he helped write -- we’ve been fascinated by him, his energy and his words. Since then, we’ve seen him perform twice. Once after the release of his first album Amethyst Rock Star we saw him perform a full-on rock show. The last time we caught Williams was at Chop Suey. He was working on his second book of poems at the time and he performed many of them as well as some of his older works. The shows were as different from each other as each book and CD he releases is different from all of his others.
