He came on late and played a short set, but what he did play was good. He played for an hour - that's a lot more than 7 songs. And EVERYBODY was singing along to Gold Digger and Stronger. Don't exaggerate.
Kanye was late so you heard PEARL JAM INSTEAD! You probably wouldn't have liked it even if he were on time. It is what it is. Get over yourselves. I dont even like Kanye as a person, some of his songs are good though. Move on. Props to Kanye for even wanting to perform there. :P
The guys setting up the stage were just dicking around. Kenya was originally going to be on a different stage (slightly smaller) and then he got pushed back to a differnt day and on the bigger stage.. I think he had something to do with that. Kenya was the ONLY act that I saw there that was actually late. The stage crew would keep coming out and move the screen up and down into the same position like thirty times. Then when kanye took the stage, he didnt even say a word. Fuck kanya
I was there, I saw the epic failure before it happened, while it was happening, and what it looked like afterward. I take solace in the fact that at 60,000 other witnesses can back me up when I say Fuck Kanye.
It was abysmal - somehow every other artist at bonnaroo manages to make it on stage on time, but Kanye didn't even offer an explanation, or tell people to check out other shows during the two hours before his show began. Everyone thought it would start 'any minute now.'
people who were there need to stop bitching. ive had to wait 2 hours for main acts to come on at concerts and we didnt have tents or space, we just stood. yall werent doing shit else anyway. also, look at the stage setup and tell me that wouldnt take a long time to get right, and that pearl jam's extra hour didnt push that back. he brought that setup there to give you an experience that many would kill to have. even if he made a stop he was still there. and you boo and break his shit? weak.
Man, here's the thing: Kanye just didn't belong there. I'm sorry but its true. And his arrogant ass should have realized he was going to perform for people predisposed to not liking his music. You don't show up 2 hours late to a show where people are already ready to dislike you. And you don't act like an overgrown fucking child when people react accordingly. Sorry, I like the dude's music but he needs to fucking grow up...
First of all I was at Bonnaroo and Fuck Kanye West's arrogant ass. The reason that he was late to the bonnaroo show is because he made an unannounced appearance around midnight at Atlanta's Birthday Bash...which basically means that he overbooked his night and he changed his concert time just to be in Atlanta and It really had nothing to do with Stage set up. FUCK KANYE WEST Look up video for Birthday bash in Atlanta 2008 if you think I am lying.
Kanye shouldn't have bitched about being on the secondary stage. He was originally scheduled for 8:15-9:45 on the Which Stage. Then he wanted to be on the main stage, so the only opening was after Pearl Jam. True, they performed an hour over their schedule, but all of the other artists need only an hour to set up their performance. Pearl Jam finished between 1:00-1:15, and Kanye was scheduled for 2:45. It's his fault for sucking so bad.
Why the fuck would you bring a huge set like that to an outdoor festival? I think Kanye got under the impression that it was part of HIS tour and that things were supposed to go his way. I watched Metallica's set at Bonnaroo online. It took them 10 minutes, tops, to set up and start playing after Les Claypool left the stage. Pearl Jam ending late had nothing to do with him getting a bad reaction. It was the fact that there was too much time in between when Pearl Jam DID end,to when his set began
This is true, except that Metallica and Les Claypool performed on different stages. lol. Metallica came on after Chris Rock, and it took them a while to set up. They came on at 10:15 when they were scheduled for 10:00.
Kanye said that one of his "jane screens" were broken by the audience...is it the center one? the big one that has a square different from the rest of the screen?
concert or just a set for someone elses concert. I have been with Glow in the Dark tour for the past year and we have never had any makor difficulties at the concert and I still stand up to that reputation. I am so happy that I didn't get to tag along. Because there were a lot of back and forth arguing with the show's production crew and they handful of Kanye's production crew that were there to oversee that everything was done correctly. By the way Kanye is takes pride in his performances!!!!!!
You have to understand also that the performer before his set, went 1 hour over their scheduled time to perform. End result, a rushed set up, unorganized production crew and nevervous and confused audio cue engineer, light effect engineer had no co,,unication with the engineers responsible for sound. This is also a lesson to Mr. West... My boss that he should have his reguslar guys that have been working for him for the past 2 years continue to do his sets whether or not is is a glow in teh dark
Pearl Jam went over one hour which would excuse a one hour delay for Kanye. He was over two hours late, its not Bonnaroos or Pearl Jams fault. he was in ATL for Yung Jizzys Bday.
Him being in ATL is true. But that is not the reason why he was late. The show's producer and Kanye West Manager agreed that he would make his appearance later, because of the sunset time. And his performance wouldn't be as impacting with his lighting effects with so much light out. Because that is also a huge part of his performance. Anyone that was present at that show cannot deny how facinated they were with the lighting, the screen did malfunction and so was the interactive audio.
But after finding out this guy was in Atlanta Earlier that night at a Birthday Bash with Young jeezy.He changed his time becuase he would rather be with his boys in Atlanta.Instead us all white people had to sit around for 2 hours There was no problems with the screen becuase if he was a true Artist he would have went on without the screen.Instead of talking to a fake woman on a screen, how about you talk to the crowd that was there to see you perform.
Kanye Already made his money; Its all in his lyrics PEOPLE. I THOUGHT I COULD BUY MYSELF TO HEAVEN; Don't hate on the man hes incredibly talented for what he is
Kanye had his shit together. No body forced you haters to sit there and wait for him, you couldve walked around the festival and seen all the great acts in the meantime. i.e. you want a light show??? GHOSTLAND OBSERVATORY HAHAHA
Obviously you have not seen many performances because he was pretty hardcore into his show, what do you expect him to have 0 emotion and be so happy he was an hour and 15 minutes late? not two hours stop hating on him, you still watched him so you really have no leverage on your argument. idiot
yup...I would have been a few hundred yards away asleep in my tent as this was going on...I'm certainly glad I didn't stay up and wait for this like the few other unfortunate ones
I'm not sure why you idiots stayed up until 6 am to see someone that you apparently hate so much. I'm a fan...i would have waited for the rest of the day to see such an amazing performance. TOOL was so 1996....get over them. I guess you white trash, trust fund hippies waited to see Widspread Panic for the Umpteenth time. Take another dose, bud, or shroom SLACKERS. It's kind of funny that all the hip hop artists where all on the last day of the festival from 2:00 am until 6:00.
what makes you think any of the 100,000 people at Bonnaroo wanted to see kanye there? i would have much rather seen TOOL there again. kanye is just a diva and bonnaroo is not the place for him. if he can't have enough respect for the BIGGEST music festival of the year to at least show up on time for his show that they already had changed once then he should have just stayed home so we could've seen someone better.
First of all I was at Bonnaroo and Fuck Kanye West's arrogant ass.

sounds great! being late doesn't mean anything, things can happen, people always blow stuff out of proportion, the only thing i agree is he should have apologized.
him being late isn't the real issue. The real issue is that he didn't make it up to the crowd. He played a short set and had a pretty flat performance. Meanwhile bands like Metallica and Pearl Jam put everything into their sets.
