Glow In The Dark Tour Preview

[Apr04]

Concerts, Kanye's Blog

I can’t take it anymore. I have 2 show you guys a model of the stage. This is not a regular show. I tell people, hey, this show is gonna be crazy and they say, “I bet it is!”, BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA!

People expect me to come with innovative stuff… I’m sure a lot of people expect some neon, lower east side, post everybody dressing like the 80’s stuff or maybe the light up jacket from the Grammies, perhaps the robot girl and light spectacle they saw on Youtube from the European run. My friends….. NONE OF THE ABOVE!!!

AN ENTIRELY NEW DESIGNED SET!!! ROBOT DESIGNED BY ACCLAIMED ARTIST CHRISTIAN COLON, CREATURE’S BY THE LEGENDARY JIM HENSON’S CREATURE SHOP, LIGHTING BY MARTIN PHILLIPS AND JOHN McGUIRE RESPONSIBLE FOR LAST YEARS FESTIVAL ANNIHILATOR, DAFT PUNK’S PYRAMID, POSSIBLY THE GREATEST LIGHT SHOW OF ALL TIME!! THANKS 2 PAUL, THOMAS AND GUYMAN FOR THE HOOK UP. SIDEBAR, MY SET DOES NOT HAVE A PYRAMID IN IT OR ANYWAY FEEL LIKE A BITE OF DAFT’S SHOW. WE’VE GOT HOLOGRAMS SHOT BY HYPE WILLIAMS!!!

SAM SPIELGAL, MIKE DEAN, JEFF BAXTER AND I HAVE SPENT A MONTH AND A HALF RE-ORCHESTRATING EVERY TRACK 2 FOLLOW A NARRATIVE. WE’VE LEARNED TO SURVIVE OFF OF 1 HOUR OF SLEEP A DAY!

  17. DeeWA2008 [Jun07] :

    I was at the Seattle show, and just this past week the Portland show. I really enjoyed myself, BOTH times. You posted my comment on your blog about E and all his friends were so tickled, as was I. SO…. cool that you and a ton of other people know about him, how much he was impacted by Jesus Walks (he’d had a BIG double lined, but plain 4 inch cross on his left shoulder for years, that and his SUPERMAN symbol with an E in it on the right shoulder. I cannot tell you how much alike you two were. He really was a hard act for his younger brother to follow. Him being the rap GOD and all, in his mind. He just KNEW he was going to MAKE IT, and especially at his funeral I found out that so did everyone else. He’d battle people downtown outside AND INSIDE the clubs and come home laughin’ himself to sleep. One time he told this guy he better call off some battle they were trying to set up as the guy had been at our house with holes in his socks. E says, “You know, if you’re gonna do this rap game you can’t go around slippin’ with holes in your socks.” Just cracked me up.

    Anyway, I’m missing my boy today. We would have watched the final leg of horse racing’s triple crown, the Belmont Stakes. I had a good cry. We were SO…. close.

    A+++++, 15 out of 10, Excellent!!!, BRAVO!!!, ENCORE!!! You name it Kanye, Glow was it!

    This is THEATRE, not just a concert! The brightest in technology merged with the brightest star in the universe who pours his heart out, a one-man extravaganza of the senses!
