Revel recap and review of Kanye West concert

When I was informed that Kanye West was coming to the Revel for two consecutive days, I instantly knew that I would be purchasing a ticket. Anticipating his arrival, I sat anxiously for him to come out on stage. The backdrop for the show had a cathedral theme with light beaming through the holes. Kanye, who came from the middle of the crowd, while levitating in the air, smiled in amazement as HAM played in the background.
As we know Kanye to be the Hip Hop fashion King himself, he was draped in all white with gold chains swarmed around his neck. He performed hits such as All Falls Down, Gold Digger, Flashing Lights, Jesus Walks and many more. The show was not only entertaining but inspirational and uplifting. With encouraging words from Mr. West about striving for your dreams and being an impact in the world, he truly had the crowd's attention. After many performances, Kanye later did his famous Runaway song and brought out Good Music member, Pusha T. The crowd went "bananas".
It's almost hard to pick which was my most memorable performance. Each song had power and much enthusiasm from Kanye. I can honestly admit this was been a show to remember.A brief video of the concert is pending.
