On Monday 17Th November i went to see Kanye West to perform his sellout 'Glow In The Dark' Tour at Manchester's' M.E.N Arena. Kanye is renown for putting on an amazing show and always pleasing the fans. The Glow in the dark tour uses amazing lighting techniques and special effects that make the show so entertaining.
To open Kanye is lying down on stage with a screen behind him and then the large main screen behind that. The show was based around him crash landing on this planet and not knowing what to do. He is seen talking to a 'spaceship' on the smaller screen on several occasions during the show. Special lighting effects start on the smaller screen and spread out onto the main screen. this can be seen on the video bellow. I filmed some of the show with my phone, so the quality is not great, but the effect can still be seen.
As can be seen, the flames start on the smaller front screen and then spread onto the main screen behind the smaller one.
Many of Kanye's clothes and accessories that he wore are glow in the dark and create a good effect. To add to the screens and the glow in the dark things there is also awesome lighting around the stage and arena. It gave me an insight into how important the lighting can be and also how good it can make things look when its done correctly.
