Glowin In the Dark

Last night I went to the spectacle that was the Glow In The Dark tour featuring Kanye West, Rihanna, NERD and Lupe Fiasco. It was quite the show I have to admit. There was about 20, 000 screaming people crammed into Gm Place with their Kanye look a like sun glasses and neon shirts.

First up was Lupe Fiasco. I dont know much about him but the chicks in front of us where going going crazy for him, so he must of been pretty good. His rhymes were good and he got the crowd off to a good start. (no pic, cell camera pic didnt turn out too well)

Next up was NERD. For those who dont know who that is. It is Pharrell's band with Neptunes partner Chad Hugo ( who i dont think that i saw). There were loud and full of energy. They had two drummers and a video screen and had the crowd hyped. I have been a huge neptunes fan for a long time. I love how the produce tracks by using real musicians and not synth. I thought that they were on and it was awesome to see one of the world's largest producers play. Also the best part of the night was when they brought chicks from the crowd to dance on stage. They were doing things that I am sure theirs mom's would of been proud of...as if...any ways, one of them fell of the stage while dancing and all Pharrell could say while singing was, 'oh sh!t, oh sh!t'

The Last of the opening bands was Rihanna. I suppose that she is probably the largest female artist in the world right now. She had some interesting costumes and she is very attractive. I dont know her too well other than her radio hits. The best part of the opening artist is that you heard only the hits and that really gets the crowd going. She definitely had the crowd singing and dancing for her. Again lots of energy and kept the crowd going strong for the main act. Also she did a medley of a MIA song and a Lauryn Hill song.

1. Breakin' Dishes

5. SOS

8. Don't Stop the Music
9. Umbrella

Okay, so now the main act. it was already a long night and finally we got to see Kanye. I would have to say that his show was very cool. It was more like a rap opera or a performance piece. It had a concept and theme. It was something that I had never seen before. He had a huge dance stage and he basically was a solo show. No dancers to mix the scene up, just pure Kanye. Good show...well worth it.
