I saw Kanye in 2008 and it was terrible. His mic was so low that we could barely hear him, he did't acknowledge the crowd, and he ended early. People started booing.

Was it the Glow in the Dark Tour?
I looooved that tour!
I saw it in Tampa, with Lupe Fiasco, NERD, and Rihanna as openers.

I wouldn't say he ignored the crowd, so much as it was a very theatrical, conceptual show. He wanted to give a big production and play a character of sorts.

I dont recall any sound issues at my show, but perhaps your show was an anomaly.

(not counting his set at Bonarroo festival that uear, which had a LAAATE start for either production issues or him being a diva. But twitter/smart phones werent a thing yet, so the story wasn't as big as it would have been)

same, worst performance i’ve ever seen. we were barricade & still couldn’t see properly bc his stage set up was terrible too. so many people walked out. saw him at glastonbury years later & he was equally dreadful.

I saw him when he popped up at OVO in Toronto one year, he was amazing-- i think he did 3 songs only tho.

Interesting! Yeezus and Pablo were both absolutely incredible when I went. He's an amazing performer imo.
