As Reported by MTV.COM
MTV News headed to the show on Monday, where the allure of seeing Jay and Kanye run through their catalog of hits at the World's Most Famous Arena wasn't lost on fans who filed into the newly renovated stadium for a 9:30 p.m. start time. Sticking to the script of their previous shows, the duo opened up with the WTT bonus track "H.A.M," but "Welcome to the Jungle" hit a soft spot when Jay-Z spit his line, "Rest in peace to the leader of the Jackson 5." The reference was especially touching just hours after the guilty verdict in the Michael Jackson manslaughter case was finally passed down.
As expected, Jay and 'Ye performed their #1 single "N---as in Paris" multiple times during the show's final minutes, adding in a mix of Jay-Z's early hits like "Lucifer" and "Money Ain't a Thing," along with Kanye's "Get Em High" and "All Falls Down."
And post-show, fans who spoke to MTV News were still brimming with excitement.
"This is where it all started," said one excited fan, referring to Jay-Z's first hometown stop on the tour. "This is where he's gonna start, this is where he's gonna finish, so this is the best feeling ever. If you're a Jay-Z fan — or anybody's fan for that matter — you've gotta see them in the Garden. There's no other experience."
