Kanye West - Glow in the Dark Tour

First of all, I ought to thank Raymond and his team for their generosity in extending a pair of tickets to the concert, albeit the last minute notice the night before. That said, it wasn't at all surprising to know that his concert would start after 9pm, following two local beatboxers and a DJ as the opening acts.

It didn't take much effort to guess what made this Kanye's Glow in the Dark tour, as the impressive stage lighting blinded us in the audience. Rapid bursts of spotlights in various colours zapped onto stage and around, accompanied by the upbeat beat of the congos, asian drums and steel drums, and naturally, Kanye's soulful rap and rhyme spilling out with finese.

Kanye opened the concert with "Good Morning" from his latest album Graduation, and followed through with several familiar tunes from previous albums that include "Through the Wire", "Gold Digger", "Love Lockdown", and "American Boy" (the second single off Estelle's sophomore album Shine which featured Kanye). So by the time he did "Good Life", "Flashing Lights" and "Homecoming" it was only right for him to end the night's encore with "Stronger".
