This is a great example of Kanye West eclectic genius. At his best he is evolved, fascinating, vulnerable, and vain; and this DVD captures his best. No other rapper could have pulled off such a feat- exceptions being Jay-Z in his prime ie MTV Unplugged or one of the Ryhmesayers and maybe Dr. Dre and Snoop right after Chronic 2001 dropped even though it never happened(sorry about the tangent); playing in front of a small crowd accompanied by strings and his dj. West remains one of the best and by far the most entertaining and interesting thing in pop music. The other reveiwer probably hasn't even seen the DVD. What do Canadians know a-boooot hip-hop anyhow?

Just got this a few days ago and im addcited to it! I bought this DVD along with a few other concerts and this is the only i keep wanting to watch. The perfomarce is fantastic, the orchestra is arranged beautifully, the sound quality outstanding. The DVD is a little short, but not short of awesome! Theres a few extra music videos of some great tracks that are nice to have. All in all, highly recommend this. It's great to sit and watch, and great to just leave playing in the background. I kinda regret not getting the BluRay, but it seems kinda impossible to find (at a reasinable price). He's good and he knows it... Damn you, Kanye.

Intimate and beautifully carried out- Kanye puts just as much work & detail into his stage shows as he does his music. I bought this DVD not fully knowing what to expect and was blown away by how he was able to fuse his floetry and a full string orchestra to make it sound as if the music was always meant to be put together in that way. I experienced his music in a whole new way- especially love what he did with 'The New Workout Plan'.
Insight into his progression from College Dropout to now. Visual and musical genius.

I am a big fan of kanye west and love his first two albums. If you want a great live perform
ance, this is it.
