I streamed Kanye's performance from Coachella this year, and I was impressed in a similar fashion. Should be a good show, hopefully ticket prices aren't outrageous.
Jay Z and Kanye West "The Throne"
9/29 Verizon Center
11/1 1st Mariner
I caught Jay-Z at Bonnaroo about 14 months ago. If anyone is even thinking about making it to this one, I'd certainly recommend it. I saw him out of curiosity and was completely blown away by his skill not just as a rapper, but as a showman. It was a terrific show.
Got any ticket info for these?
For what it's worth... Kanye West performed at the Big Chill Festival in the UK this weekend, and apparently he was terrible.
The people I know who went said he was awful, and the Guardian said:
"He plays all the hits ? Jesus Walks, Diamonds from Sierra Leone, Gold Digger ? but when he starts to speak, as he does often, things fall apart. A 10-minute rant about a video award he won some years back, which he annoyingly had to fly for 12 hours to receive, sinks into a mind-melting ramble against phoniness. This is met by huge boos, and fleeing people."
