Jay-Z is probably one of the best live performers out there.   Jay-Z’s aura on the stage is incredible. Every time he executes a song on stage, it’s different and original. He is able to capture the moment of the interaction of the audiences and the setting to craft the perfect performance. Due to his talent on stage, there are many music videos that uses these live performances as portion of the video itself such as Forever Young. Jigga also dresses pretty low-key in concert. Often times, you will see him rocking a simple black tee with shades and a pair of nice kicks. I’ve seen him perform at the latest Blue Print III Tour at Vancouver and it was great. With his classics and new hits off his new album, he’s able to bring his long time fans back to the 90’s while pleasing his newer fans with songs like Empire State of Mind and Forever Young. There are many dope performances of him that you can search online and check out but if you haven’t seen him perform live, you are missing out.

After the jump, I’ve attached his latest concert at Bonnaroo. He performs Swagga Like Us, Hard Knock Life, 99 Problems, Dirt Off Your Shoulder, H To The Izzo, Young Forever, and segments of his classics in between. Solid performance as always, HOVA!  My favorite portion is when he performs Diamonds.

If your time is limited. Watch the first and last one.
