Kanye West discussion

[LemonMelon]

Kendrick was awesome. Really great crowd response, one of the best I've seen for an opener. The sound quality is awful, mostly bass and little else, but I'm gonna know every note and lyric played tonight so I'll be fine.

 

[LemonMelon]

Holy shit, the last 10 or so songs are absolutely masterful. Best "encore" ever. We also got Homecoming, which had a terrific crowd response. I'm not sure whether or not it was played last night too.

Kanye ranted about allowing Michael Jordan to go to the Wizards as part of a 20 minute version of Runaway that blew me away.

 

[cobl04]

Had you seen him before? The Runaway rants are awesome.

His is pretty much the only gig I've never done a 14-page appraisal of. There was just too much to talk about

 

[LemonMelon]

No, this was the first time I've seen him. I had seen quite a bit of tour footage prior to going (my show got delayed, so I needed something to tide me over) but there were plenty of surprises. This is an extremely well choreographed show and the light show is excellent in spots.

I knew Black Skinhead and Blood on the Leaves were going to be great live, but Hold My Liquor really took me by surprise. The guitar solo sounds awesome and is played by the guitarist in a small band placed off to the side.

 

[cobl04]

Hopefully he decides to play shows through to April. I got a quote for return flights from LAX for $1900 today, which is heaps cheaper than I thought. Only one piece of the puzzle left.

 

[LemonMelon]

I wish I had sprung for GA.

 

[Imperor]

Nice nice. I wish I had gone to two shows.

GREAT interview with Kanye by 12 Years A Slave director Steve McQueen.

Someone mentioned a recent article from Pazz & Jop that made them respect Kanye more than anything. This did the same for me, but with the man's own words.

[cobl04]

Was about to post that, but I've gotta find the time to finish reading it first!

 

[Imperor]

I didn't really give a shit that we got the X Games until it was announced today that Kanye and the Lips are playing. Gonna have to cop a ticket now.

Spaceship! Fuck the setlists we got last leg.

According to KTT, a bunch of those were just one verse, which is lame, but still!!

10th anniversary of College Dropout, bro.

I would love nothing more than for this tour to be extended.

[nielsgov]

This guy has to come to Europe ASAP.

 

[cobl04]

Looks like he's touring here in April-May. I will be fucking devastated if I miss it cos I'm in the US.

 

[cobl04]

The poster that was spotted in Melbourne says April-May, desperately hoping it's like Brisbane, Sydney dates in late May and then Melbourne on like May 2

 

[The Sad Punk]

I figure it's unlikely he'll come by here, so looks like I've well and truly gotta save up for another road trip.

 

[LMP]

Hot damn, the encores of these past few shows. I was elated to hear any pre-Twisted Fantasy material at my gig.

 

[cobl04]

I figure it's unlikely he'll come by here, so looks like I've well and truly gotta save up for another road trip.

I don't know... April-May. I'm thinking it will be Brisbane-Sydney-Melbourne-Adelaide-Perth. I decided yesterday that I will fly interstate to see it if I miss the Melbourne show.
