Kanye West Bonnaroo 08- Can't Tell Me Nothing

This clip is one of 7 songs he performed. He came on stage at 4:30, 2 hours late, and then the sun came up while he was doing his glow in the dark show. Didn't once address the crowd. When he puts the mic to the audience to sing the parts it is dead silence. The hands down worst live show I have ever seen!

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.

@nitwit44 I think you are exaggerating. The overwhelming majority were just staring at him with disinterest and talking to each other.

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.

lol you people really need to stop hating on him though

[wowOKlol]

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

Oh and Lupe Fiasco was a thousand times better.

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.'

i dno rap just never seems to translate that well live

[Tayorjohnson]

I know his set started at 4:30 but what time did it end?

[blahblah12388]

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.
