Kanye's Glow in the dark tour was one of the better concerts I've been to in recent years. Opening act was Lupe Fiasco and he delivered a powerhouse performance. Just when you thought he was outta gas, he'd come flying through stage and rocking the house. The show overall was molded into more of a rock concert than your traditional hip-hop concert. NERD was wildin out with 2 drum sets and was just high energy all the way through. It's no suprise Pharrell lost his voice so early in the tour. Rihanna was....ehh.
The stage prep for Kanye's set took forever. It went for about 30 mins, but well worth the wait. I expected to see something amazing and something innovative, but what he presented was on a totally new level. YOU GOTTA SEE THIS. Simple but bold. The concert was like a feast for the eyes and an assult (in a good way) on the ears. I have to give alot of respect to Kanye for performing at a level which really does outdo a lot of other artists. He gives 110% into his performance. Every song had a twist to it's rendition backed by a full live band hidden behind the large LED screen.
A day later and I'm still in awe of his set up and performance. The feeling of everyone in the crowd around you rocking in unison is crazy intense. He really knows how to command the crowd and deliver a great performance. I might just go catch the show at Staple Center in June.
BTW***they handed out his new "Thank You and You're Welcome" book. A nice little parting gift. Thank you and you're welcome...
