What the stage designer achieved at the Ye show at sofi speaks to a core philosophy that I believe in, and does it at the grandest level I’ve ever seen. A live concert, or a show, is a singular image. When you attend it, and think back to it years later, that image should pop into your mind. That image is NOT the artist. Not their face. It’s a feeling evoked by a singular image. I’ve tried a blue door, a single ghost light, a tree…but this is just something at another genius level of show design. Think of every concert you’ve ever seen with massive live feeds, massive moving heads, 6000 stage elements, 500 LEDs and pyro and this renders them all gaudy and invalid. It’s grand and expensive, but also so ridiculously simple, a man on top of the world. However you feel about the artist, and there are manu other things to say about him, this is undeniable design vision and the designer has changed the game.
