LET'S GET LOST TONIGHT

kanye-west-glow-in-the-dark-tour
this was probably the best concert i've ever been to. i am still in awe thinking about it. i was expecting greatness, and my expectations were exceeded. needless to say, next time kanye is in town, i'm there.

here's the breakdown:

lupe fiasco - kills it live. absolutely perfect. he is next in line.

n.e.r.d - throws a party. pharrell has got it down. not only do they dj, but they use a live band as well... with two full drumsets. it's sick.

rihanna - girl can sing. also, she is hot like fire. i'm going to marry her. screw you, chris brown.

kanye west - between the incredible stage set (giant led screens, moon terrain, lights, etc.) his flawless delivery, and the stripped down, bass heavy, live orchestrated songs, i almost peed myself. kanye might get on some people's nerves, but he backs up the game he talks. he knows what he's doing. for this tour, he's turns the show into this space opera of him crashing on an alien planet and trying to get home. he uses this backstory to connect all of his songs seamlessly. except for the slight break when he plays hey mama (understandable. his mom recently died pretty tragically), he rips through everything straight. it's pretty incredible.

once i get the pictures and videos from chelsea, i'll throw them up to back my claims of incredibility.
