For the Nov. 7th Watch The Throne show at Madison Square Garden, Jay-Z & Kanye performed for a solid two and a half hours. No cameos, no breaks.

With two rising light cube platforms, the two took turns throwing out bits from WTT and their own albums.

This list of songs performed is not 100% accurate (since I knew all of Kanye’s but not every last one of Jay-Z’s):

The performances were strong and relentless. Most of the full songs performed were from WTT, while their own tracks were cherry picked.

Liked:

• Jay-Z & Kanye West took down The Garden for a full 2.5 hours, no breaks
• Kanye’s set included Jesus Walks, Flashing Lights, Through The Wire
• Great, affordable seats – thank you Citi pre-sale
• Allowed to bring in phones/cameras/food – security didn’t care

Sucked:

• 2 hour delay of absolutely nothing between the 7:30p start and the 9:30p actual start
• The Garden robs you blind – $5 for a bottle of water, sans bottle
• Illicit drugs in the air, hard to breathe throughout the show
• No guest appearances – not a game breaker, but the audience expected it

It’s great to be able to cross off watching Jay perform at home from my bucket list.
