Lucky me, I was at the concert of the year last night.  Broadcasting live from Madison Square Garden was your boy Twittering like a kid in a candy store about the happenings once.  I promised live updates but I was too busy with the music to be reporting from my Berry so apologies for the sparse updates.

“Beyonce, Pharell, Kanye, Rihanna, John Mayer, Kid Cudi, Alicia Keys, that’s in the first hour… (I forgot to mention Santigold in the mix)”

The show was incredible.  I have footage, but I think I can be lazy on this one and wait for the Fuse TV broadcast to be available for DVD or leak.  The backdrop was incredible and the feeling from being in the crowd was inspiring, especially with “Empire State of Mind” opening Jay’s set.  As I said after the show:

“Jay-Z had just bought MSG for Fade to Black, he went out bought some furniture, this time around it was his home. Mortgage paid. He owned it.”

Check the footage and judge for yourself. Set list after the videos!
