KANYE WEST "Glow in the Dark" book promo by: NABIL from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.
HOLD ON HOLD ON: IMA LET YOU FINISH (surfing the web) BUT I JUST GOTTA SAY, KANYE WEST HAD THE BEST TOUR EVER!!
Admittedly, I am a HUGE Kanye West fan, however, even if I were to muster up all the objectivity this little Goosebody can produce: Glow in the Dark is still the Dopest tour my Gooseyes have seen. period.
Mr. West took us on a journey that made us forget the problems of our life, hell it made me forget I even exist: the entire American Airlines Arena in Miami was on this journey with us and none of us came back the same.
A one-of-a-kind space odyssey; Glow in the Dark was the story of a space-traveler (Mr. West) stranded in the cold abyss. The space traveler's only companion, and the only on stage collaborator is his space ship Jane. Voiced through a behemoth of a screen: cool, calm collected, robot; Jane plays the perfect foil to Mr. Wests impassioned character, and helps round out the story. oh, by the way, Spike Jonze helped collab on the concert story...so you know its FIRE.
Each song is perfectly woven together to tell the basic story of Space Traveler crashed and stranded, realizing it "All Falls Down" his attempts at finding solutions to repair, meeting "flashinglights/gold-diggers" who dont really want to help. He realizes you "Can't Tell him Nothing" and that only through his inner-efforts can he make this ship fly" Obviously the story is much more beautiful/complex but this will have to do if you missed it....or maybe not: GLOW IN THE DARK TOURBOOK by NABIL ELDERKIN... AMAZON
To celebrate this Hip-Hopera, Nabil Elderkin (lauded photographer and documentarian) published his tour photos via HUGE leather-bound tome, in collaboration with Wild Thing Spike Jonze.
If you missed the tour, don't miss the book.
