The Glow in the Dark Tour

All I can say is... Wow! This was probably the greatest concert ever. The event was held in the Staples Center, where the WHOLE stadium was packed from top to bottom. Our seats where pretty decent; we sat on the first floor and had a great view of the stage. I felt sorry for those located on the third floor, for I experienced the feeling of having a nose bleed while at the Lakers vs. Clippers game. The performances went in this order: Lupe Fiasco (w/ Bishop G, Nikki Jean, and Matthew Santos), N.E.R.D. & Pharrell, Rihanna, and Kanye West. Kanye's performance was a killer; his whole set-up and the order in which he performed his songs made it spectacular. Kanye performed songs off of all 3 of his CD's without any breaks, so I knew Ye must have been tired as hell after that one. I also heard that it was Kanye's Birthday that day, which probably made him go all out during this tour date. I was so into Ye's performance that I accidentally smacked a lady i her face with my swinging arms. That ruined the mood for both me and her as we quietly enjoyed the rest of Ye's songs. The second best (in my opinion) was Lupe Fiasco's performance. Rihanna's was good and N.E.R.D.'s was meh, but I was still glad to see them perform. All being said, this concert was worth every penny. If they was to do another one, I would pay $500 for a ticket (yea, its worth THAT much to me).
