More than a musician, people love Kanye West for being a performer. Ever since his rise in the early 2000s, the ‘Donda’ singer changed the landscape of how rap music looks like. From using auto-tune, to deep lyrics, colorful videos, and ambitious stage scales, he set up an example not just for fans but also for fellow artists. The rapper who began his career as a producer always had a knack for doing things in a big way and even succeeded at that.

Since it has been a long that the audience got a Kanye West performance, one fan posted a photo from the 2016 Saint Pablo tour. The photo showed him singing as he sat mid-air above a pool of crowd cheering over to his music. Like his extravagant sets, this too had a suspended stage on which he sat to perform. The performance consisted of songs from his seventh album, ‘The Life of Pablo.’ It began on 25th August 2016, although was cut abruptly due to some issues.

The stage was set up at the Forum in California with thousands of fans coming together to watch him. Fans often describe it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. That was one of the last performances that Ye gave, after which he took breaks.

The years before 2020 were undoubtedly the pinnacle of Ye’s musical era. While he still remains a much-loved and trending icon, fans were often left discussing about him even when he went away.

Still mesmerized by that performance, one fall called it ‘a miracle’. Another one who attended the concert called it ‘magical’. One fan who was present recalled how he was made to change seats, and placed a few feet away from the ‘Gold Digger’ singer.

One went as far as to call it ‘the best day in history’.
