Kanye West - what to expect?

Kanye West

Bell Centre, Montreal

September 02 2016

When I decided to buy this ticket to the show, I didn't know what to expect.

 I am not the biggest fan of his whole discography, but I like most of the songs I heard.

I am certainly not the biggest fan of how he acts and talks publicly, but he is quite a phenomenon.

I like when he raps, but would he do that or only talk shit and do stupid things?

I wanted to see which side of him was going to be playing during that concert.

I wanted to come back from it and be able to tell others of what happened...

To my surprise the show went really well and he was there as a performer!

The show started with Kanye singing from the shadows hidden backstage and went on throughout the first song.

Then some lights were turned on under a floating platform(only lights around), so people under the platform started to dance intensely it was perceived as if it was their show, their moment, but we still couldn't see Kanye.

At some point, he shows up on the platform being illuminated from another ring of light above the platform.

The platform started moving and wherever it went, people took it on themselves to dance as hard as they could during this time. It was their cue to dance as much as they could. It was a dance club!

Kanye was rapping and dancing on the platform and it was great to hear and see.

It surprised me to see that EVERYONE was singing the lyrics of every songs he played.

Lights on the platform were changing colors and highlighting different parts of the crowd then back on Kanye.

Security people were on the edge it seemed since they usually have a set stage in front, but that day was way different with a suspended stage floating around the whole arena.

I saw some security guard get really aggressive towards people doing anything that could get close to the stage or Kanye while he was on the edge of the platform and they got head to head talks!

Intense I would say.

At some points lights different lights were sweeping all over the floor.

The lights structure over the main platform was tilting in weird angles to highlight different space it was impressive.

Then Kanye sang a cappela one of the song and it was great.

He started directing more and more his MC to stop the music so he could sing alone, start songs over to start from the beginning if he missed a beat or wanted the crowd to interact or for him to rap.

If the crowd wasn't dancing hard enough for him, he restarted the song.

It was nice to see that he cared.

People kept jumping and dancing after this.

He played a lot of songs and a lot of good material!
