Jay-Z and Kanye West brought their much-heralded Watch the Throne Tour to New York City's Madison Square Garden on Monday night after two shows at New Jersey's IZOD Center over the weekend.
After kicking off the eagerly anticipated jaunt last week in Atlanta, the Throne began their trek north, stopping in North Carolina, and now they'll stay put for one additional show at the Garden on Tuesday night (November 8).
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 "Ni--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."
"It was unreal to watch them together, feeding off each other's chemistry," another fan added, after watching Jay and 'Ye throw it down. "Watching them own the stage like they did — it was ridiculous."
The Throne will perform one additional show at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night before they head to Florida.
