Short review of Kanye West/Common concert in Belgium (November 18th)

[CRAFTY]

Quick review of the show I went to this past Sunday.
Common did a nice set of roughly 45 minutes: performed some songs from Be, Finding Forever, The Light and a medley of rap classics (Rakim, Biggie, etc...). Dude's got a strong/energetic stage presence. Really good performer!

Kanye came on stage after a pause that lasted about an hour. A bit too long imo, but understandable as well considering what happened to him...
Anyway, dude had an incredible light show. As you may know, the tour is called the "Glow In The Dark"-tour, and goddamn it, the concert surely lived up to its title. Very impressive show for a rap artist. A bit inspired by Daft Punk's shows if you'd ask me, but dope nonetheless!

He performed for longer than I thought (an hour and a half, give or take) and also tried to perform Hey Mama (just like in France), but he didn't manage to do it. He didn't break down in tears though. He just started talking to the audience about life in general, and mistakes that people make. Just real life stuff basically. The crowd appreciated his honesty, I'll tell you that much.
To the guy in the other thread who mentioned the possible use of a publicity stunt: no way that this was a stunt. Kanye may like to be in the spotlight a lot, but I guarantee you that this wasn't part of a plan.

His orchestra that he brought with him was pretty nice too, although the violins were barely hearable at times (blame the soundman!).

Anyway, dope show. Glad that he performed after all!
