Watch Kanye West Climb Onstage Mountain, Talk to Jesus at Tour Launch
Saturday night at Seattle's Key Arena, Kanye West launched his first solo tour since 2008—and he brought a massive spectacle to make up for the lost time.
Twelve female ballet dancers pranced onstage to open the show, before 'Ye, wearing a shimmering mask of sequins, climbed a white mountain onstage during Cruel Summer gem "Cold"; he danced in laser lights, the beams reflecting off the sequins, during "Stronger"; and for "Jesus Walks" the Son of God himself appeared in a robe to chit-chat with Kanye: "I've been looking for you, Kanye," Jesus said. "Not to punish good people, but to show them the light."
And it's all on video. Watch above and below.
