Just got back from Kanye West @ the Apollo

i didn't get there till about 8ish, just as keisha cole had finished her set. I expected there to be another larger support act, i had heard that it was going to be Talib Kwali, but at 8.30 kanye came straight out and did his set. So i didn't hear common at all!

To those that went, how was common in support?

He wasn't supporting. It was 2 DJ's from BBC 1xtra.

Quite dissapointing as I would have loved to see him.

I see, prior to the show, i heard that Keisha, Common and some of the GOOD guys (Glc or Consequence) were the support acts.

Im not a big fan of that kind of music, rock for me but from the sounds even I would have enjoyed this show as I am a fan of Kanye West as I respect him as a great performer.

Going to see if tis coming to brighton centre now lol.

well you're in luck, outside the gig they were handing out flyers about the new song (touch the sky), and on the other side it had the details about the release of the dvd.

DVD is called laTe Orchestration and is coming april, no more details unfortunatly, being released on CD and DVD.

The only concert I've been to was to see The Game back in August last year.

That, like you, really hyped me up and I was up 'dancing' all the way through the show.

There's just something about seeing other people getting ecstatic about something which makes you do the same. Unreal :cool:

Would love to go and see Kanye West. I'm a big fan of his music.

I watched his Abbey Road show last night, he really is the consummate performer.

I really wanted to record that and was going to post a heads up for people who haven't seen it but it was like 5 minutes before it started.

I was going to get tickets for the concert left it 2 days or so and it was all sold out.

Just come back from the NEC arena (Touch the Sky Tour), was fantastic. Great night and worth every penny!
