Glow in the Dark Tour review!

As soon as I saw the poster for this tour I was ready for something epic. I was so excited I actually joined Kanyes' fanclub to get a chance at presell tickets. Once they went on sell I snatched up a pretty nice seat. The event was held at American Airlines Arena (Where the Miami Heat play).

Lupe
The first act up was Lupe, I've always been a fan of Lupe since his mixtape grind. He kicked the set off with "Hip-Hop Saved my Life" very dope song and got the crowd hype real quick. I didn't like that fact that the stadium wasn't at full capacity for Lu and that his set was VERY short. He brought out Matthew Santos for a few tracks (one of my favorites "Fighters") that guy is crazy dope live!

N.E.R.D
N.E.R.D was up next I am a BIG fan of Neptunes/N.E.R.D/Star Trak, they came out with a full live band (with two sick drummers!). They did some joints off of "In Search of.." and a couple off of "Fly or Die". The song that REALLY stood out was "Spaz" you probably have heard a snippet on the new Zune commercials. When they went into that song the whole place erupted, I instantly knew that song is going to be a hit. During "Spaz" Chris Brown and Teyana Taylor (new Star Trak artist) came out and danced on stage and Fam-Lay did back-up. They also did "Everyone Nose" which has already become a favorite of mine.

Rhianna
I'm not a Rhianna fan at all so I took the opprotunity to go out and have a few drinks and smoke a little, I could hear her set from the patio of the stadium it sounded decent.

Kanye
It took a good while for them to set up Ye's stage but once they did you knew you were in store for something special. The set had a futuristic look to it complete with a digital backdrop that changed scenery. He started off with "Good Morning" and it was very ethereal with him floating through space laying down flowing. Once he got up the spaceship he was in started to talk to him about ship damage from a asteroid field. Once he crash lands he goes into "I Wonder" and "Through the Wire" once he got the ship fixed and ready to take off it went into "Champion". The ship fails to sustain power and goes back down to the planet he crashed on, he starts doing his verse from "Get em' High". Some funny alien prop flies down and tells him to get home he will need the power of the brightest star this triggers "Flashing Lights". Once he is airborne he talks to his ship about how long it will take to get home he says "I haven't had a women in awhile" so his spaceship tries to cheer him up by displaying a bikini-clad holographic woman that looked like she was made out of gold he goes into "Gold Digger". Other songs include "Diamonds from Sierra Leone", "Touch the Sky" which he brought lupe out for, "Spaceship", "Can't Tell me Nothing" and a tribute to his mother that had everyone in the house misty-eyed.

All in all I have to say Kanye truly set a new standard for Hip-Hop concerts, peep Diddy response.
