Tony's glowing account of the Kanye show is the emotional crescendo of the episode. [1] — Tony Hinchcliffe "Kanye announces a stadium show one week out and it sells out. Then he performs for 2.5 hours non-stop on a giant inflatable globe with a li…" 2:31:50 Pop-up shows announced one to two weeks in advance fill entire stadiums; the mayor's attempts to cancel it just provide free promotion. Kanye enters through the crowd and ascends a lift into a massive inflatable globe on which he performs the entire show — non-stop, no breaks, no thank-yous until the final moment when he says 'it's all about love.' The globe is inflatable so there's no way to storm the stage, and Kanye is tethered in so he can't fall. Tony brought a skeptical non-rap-fan friend who came out a diehard convert. The broader point Joe and Tony arrive at: nobody has ever bounced back from cancellation the way Kanye has, and the packed-stadium loyalty in evidence is because his fans feel vindicated — and because the music is just undeniably great. The episode winds down with reflections on Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon aligning with The Wizard of Oz, and Joe congratulating Tony on everything he's building.
Kanye announces a stadium show one week out and it sells out. Then he performs for 2.5 hours non-stop on a giant inflatable globe with a lift that only he can access. Tony, a Pink Floyd fan with high standards, called it the greatest production he has ever seen in his life.
Kanye West's inflatable globe stadium show runs 2.5 hours with no breaks, announced just one to two weeks in advance and filling stadiums to capacity.
