Kanye West & Jay-Z present: Watch The Throne

Been meaning to give this album another listen, 'cause the first couple times I was massively disappointed, but I'm seeing them in Vancouver in December, which I'm beyond excited about. Not to mention I might be seeing Prince the day before; what an unbelievable weekend that's going to be.
Just got back from the DC show.
Best $500 I spent in many years.
Started an hour and half late (was expect 2 hrs, so was that a bonus?)
Opened with HAM. Closed with Niggas in Paris/
2 hours, 10 minutes of hip-hop bliss in between.
Set, stages and video effects were top notch (the seemingly incongruent images fascinate me for some reason.)
No guests.
We stood up and danced two hours straight...tired as hell now.
And yes, the "tunic" that Ye was rocking actually worked for him.

Pretty interesting.
Whoever fabricated that was diggin' HARD on that one.
Glad to hear I'm going to see them in Toronto Wednesday, (fuck yea!) anyone else with tixs for the TO show? I'm so unbelievably pumped.
Right here! I'm so pumped for this.

I really want to see this concert. I bet HAM bumped hard live.
Going to be insane, it's a shitload of money but I promised myself I'd see Kanye's next tour after missing Glow In The Dark, and he's with Jay-Z, can't say no to that. My next two days are pretty busy so they should fly by.

I was wondering about this also, but I have a feeling that 10min teaser vid is all we will be getting

How shit changes..

I was just listening to his GOOD Friday releases today. Oh man the memories...he really created a phenomenon with those releases. Had the hip hop community sitting at their computers every Friday night waiting for more. I hope he does it again.
I saw the show in Atlantic City and I loved it up until they played Niggas in Paris five times in a row. I couldn't believe they kept playing it. I guess I would have just rather heard some other songs instead of just hearing that over and over. Not sure if I'm alone on that or not. Otherwise it was great.
Best show ever. The pop after the first Niggas in Paris was RIDICULOUS. Man the whole night was amazing. Personal highlights were Can't Tell Me Nothing, All Falls Down, PSA, Big Pimpin and 99 Problems.
Hollllyyyyyy shiiiitttttt. Fucking UNREAL. Unbelievable show, one of the most entertaining things I've ever witnessed, Jay and Ye are amazing performers and together are incredible. I was shocked how good they sounded live. Incredible showmanship from both of them, I got over an hours worth of video, if I had known they were going to be that good I would have spent even more money on tickets, just a few side notes:
- Not a fan of BP3 but Jays performance on "On To The Next One" was incredible and one of my favourites of the night, that song was made to be performed on stage just awesome
- Kanye started a little side lecture during runaway that was pretty funny
- they played ni**as in Paris 3 fucking times, place went nuts too, I loved it but was upset they didn't play "Why I Love You' at all, its my fav from the album and they could have played it instead of a 3rd NIP but its all good
- some chick threw her bra on stage, and after the song Jay walked over picks it up, looks at it and pockets it smiling, and the crowd went nuts, pretty funny shit
- Some guy threw a Bluejays hat on stage and yeezy wore it for the last few minutes pretty cool
- The H.A.M. intro was fantastic and swagging to the max
If you have a chance to go and are decided GO, you won't regret it.

Fucking lol to the max, I wish they were coming to Australia. Kanye is coming out in January but no jigga
Yea, probably one of the best looking performances on the night with Hov on the box with green lasers behind him and all you can see was his silhouette, so awesome.

This is like the perfect combination of something I used to love and something I love now. So funny.
I wish! The bra was on stage for a song or two, and I thought they were just gonna leave it. Jay is so swaggin it's ridiculous.
As far as I know, they don't have any opening act. It's just them for 3 hours.
This shit is so hype. No wonder they perform it 8 times at their shows.

So true. Great video.

god damn awesome quote Kanye.
Looking back at some of the footage from toronto, I gotta say 'Where Im From', 'U Don't Know' and 'Nigga What Nigga Who' were my favorites.
During 'U Don't Know' when jay z throws up the ROC... and the whole crowd starts doing it... epic.:lol

Ok, so I caught the 12/12 show in L.A. I grabbed a floor ticket at a nice discount at the very last minute. I will let the pictures below speak for themselves for how close I was to the stage...
I'll reiterate what other posters have said in this thread: definitely the best concert I have seen IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, and one of the best nights of entertainment I have ever witnessed. The playlist was fantastic: they played so many more songs than I thought they would - it was damn near a 3-hour show - and the progression/flow of the setlist was fantastic. Impeccable production and stage effects, and incredible stage presence by Kanye and Jay. It definitely felt and looked like both of them were having a blast performing and they sounded amazing live.
Some highlights and random moments that still stand out in my mind:
- Lights dimming and that "Throne Music" interlude music coming on. That set off the crowd like an atomic bomb, and then they go right into HAM with each on a separate stage.
- The "video cubes" playing the barking pitbulls after HAM/before Who Gon Stop Me was oddly awesome. Sharks on the cube during Who Gon Stop Me was pretty dope, too.
- Kanye SPRINTING from one side of the stage to the other a couple times during one particular song (can't remember which one it was! Any help here?)
- Kanye stopping "All Of The Lights" twice until they turned on ALL of the lights - all kinds of flashing bulbs, screens, and lasers during that one.
- Kanye's serious face and gritting of his teeth prior to Stronger. Dude looked so focused and in the zone. It kinda freaked me out. Anyone else remember this?
- Beat dropped, Kanye going silent, and the crowd finishing off Heartless by singing the chorus.
- The "story" woven between Big Pimpin/Golddigger/99 Problems was pretty hype.
- Niggas In Paris NINE FUCKING TIMES IN A ROW. You'd think it would have gotten tiresome, but surprisingly the last time they played it was just as hype as the first one.
