It was just this past July that Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake shared the stage at Candlestick Park on their Legends Of Summer Tour. I was lucky enough to have been there that night to witness the magic that show brought to the Bay. Being a HUGE Jay-Z fan, I figured when I drove away from that concert, that I wouldn t be seeing him in the Bay on tour for awhile. I m so happy I was wrong!
I had people telling me, Jay-Z can t handle a show on his own anymore Hov needs Kanye or J.T.  to put on a good set. I knew in my heart those crazy people were WRONG Last night s show at the SAP Center in San Jose would shut those people up for good! So let me tell you about it .
The concert was supposed to start at 8pm, but after getting there just before 7:30pm and seeing the arena still near empty, I knew it was going to be a bit of a wait. LOL- Then before you know, a DJ that was set up starts playing songs to get the crowd ready and then you see people start heading to their seats. He played a little of everything- but it was the Bay classics that had people on their feet already dancing. Before carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures you knew it, the SAP Center was filling up so I knew it was getting closer and closer to starting. I was starting to feel even more nervous than I was before. It s kinda hard to explain. LOL- Anytime I go to a PRINCE concert or to see JAY-Z, I just get where I can t sleep a night or two before. I just feel nervous. It s not like Jay-Z was going to call me up on stage to help him do a verse or anything. carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures Although I totally could ve pulled it off! LOL- I just love me some Jay-Z and have been a fan since the Reasonable Doubt album. Yes, I am so hip-hop!
His music has been to soundtrack to my life. All the good, the bad, the lessons carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures I ve learned growing up all ties into a Jay-Z song here and there. carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures So sitting there looking at the big empty black stage set up- I guess that s why I had that nervous, excited feeling for the last few days that magnified as show time grew closer! Speaking of the stage, there weren t any crazy props like Kanye s show a few weeks ago. There were a few platforms, big screens and lots of speakers.
It was now 9:15pm and the DJ s music cuts out and the lights go out. I already could feel a lump in my throat- carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures Am I really going to cry? I ALWAYS cry at Prince carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures Jay-Z shows so yes . the tears were stacking up in my eyes. Then right from the middle of the stage, Jay-Z comes walking out. No opening act, just my man ready to go! He was looking relaxed, confident, ready to put in some work for us tonight. carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures We were all in the presence of a legend. Whether you re not a fan, a die-hard fan like me or never heard of him until he did some songs with Justin Timberlake there s no denying his talent! So this is the part of my review where I give you the set-list I came up with from the show so if you missed the show, or want to re-live it again we can go through it all together. carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures I was so into the show I might have missed something so help me fill in the blanks!  Here ya go ..
Higher- What a way to kick off the night!! The energy from the packed arena was insane! Soon as he took the stage, everyone rose to their feet and threw their hands in the air to make a diamond to welcome Hov to the Bay. It was PARTY time!!
F.U.T.W.-    I love this song on the Magna Carta, Holy Grail album! I could tell we were in for some fun and for a night to remember! After the track was over Hov said, Last time I was in the Bay, I had the best show of my life. You guys ready to do it again? That s where I was like, Whooooooo- carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures YES!
You Don t Know- It was at this point that I realized Timbaland was there! I was transixed carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures on Hov that I kinda didn t look anywhere else! Great to see him on stage on a lil platform taking care of the beats for the night. Also on stage were a 3 other guys. One played the drums, the other did guitar and then there was a guy on keyboards. So cool to see a band with on stage.
Crown- Soon as I heard the opening line, You in the presence of a king, scratch that in the presence of a God . That s where I had to throw my diamond up! I loved it!! At the end Jay says to the crowd, We just getting started . I promise you, we re just getting started! It gave me goose bumps.
On To The Next One- This song has gotten me through many hard workouts on my ipod! This is my song ok, you ll see that they pretty much are ALL my songs!! It s another track I know word for word! LOL-
Holy Grail- All of sudden everyone was dancing and screaming their heads off when you hear Justin Timberlake come on and you know it s time to sing along. You d take the clothes off my back, and I let you You d steal the food right out my mouth and I d watch you eat it. I still don t know why, why I love you sooo much . Everyone sang along to this one!! Great moment!!
Beach Is Better- I just love when Jay says Beyonce s name on a song- so this was cool to see him perform. I kept thinking she s going to walk out! LOL- no luck though- After the song he says to the crowd, I think we at an 8 tonight, let s take it to another level in here. OMG I knew that meant it was time to get into a few of the classics!!! Goosebump time for me!
99 Problems- This is MY SONG!!!! When I saw him perform this one at Candlestick in July, JT was the one who did the police officer lines in the song. You know the part of that song where a cop pulls over Jay and says, Son, do you know why I m stopping you for? I m sure you can hear it in your head now~ LOL- yeah, it s another song I know by heart!
Dead Presidents 2- Jay took a moment to say, Who s been down with me since day 1 my Reasonable Doubt album? That s where my hand shot straight up! LOL Loved that he took it back to where it all started!
Tom Ford- This one had the crowd vibing with the whole song and helping Hov out with the verses, Coming up, coming down Riding clean, Fix your head in my crown.. Bad B****, H-Town- Keep it trill ya ll know ya can t f*** around . Everyone had their bounce on to this one too so great to see the reaction to this one! After it was done, Jay leaves and it s Timbaland s time in the spotlight. Timbo goes thru his catalog of hits he was behind and takes people down memory lane. He teased with tracks from Aaliyah, Missy Elliot, Ginuwine Justin Timberlake and then finally carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures his song on his new album. carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures Then my man comes back on stage after a wardrobe change. He was gone for 15 minutes or so, but he only changed his t-shirt and some more gold chains- so my cousin and friends were laughing about that.  No costumes for Hov!
Somewhere In America- This is the track on the new MC/HG album that he shouts out Miley Cyrus. He says, Somewhere in America, Miley Cyrus is still twerking Twerk, twerk, twerk, Miley Miley Miley! Too funny!
Dirt Off Your Shoulders- Everyone was dusting carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures their shoulders off and throwing their diamons up for this one! Then Jay-Z says, I got a million of these!! Exactly so many hits, so many crowd favs what was next?? My ALL TIME favorite
I Just Want To Love You- I m a hustler baby, I just want you to know. That it ain t where I ve been but where I m about to go. Now I just wanna love you, but be who I am. With all this cash, you ll forget your man. Now give it to me Ahhhhhh I lost my mind on this one!!! ALways AMAZING to see this one live!! Then Jay at the end says, Security, stand down. I need some disorder in here. Security, chill out a bit, enjoy the festivities. Kanye isn t here! LOL The crowd just laughed!!! The he said, You know Kanye and I made a pact that songs from our Watch The Throne album can only be performed when we re together on stage. So ya ll gotta earn it. The crowd was all on their feet by now-  then Jay started carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures counting down from 10! Soon as he said ONE he went right into everyone s favorite
Clique This was fun to watch him perform. carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures Everyone was into it!! I was there with my cousin and friends for a ladies night so our clique carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures loved it! Like the song says, Ain t nobody messing with my clique, ain t nobody fresher than my clique! -LOL-
Run This Town No Rihanna in the building but great to watch Jay do this one on stage! carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures After the song is over, he says, Thank you San Jose and walks off the stage waving. I KNEW he wasn t done yet but it was great to see the crowd NOT wanting him to leave us just yet either. After a quick break it was time for more
Encore- Can I get an encore, do you want more YES!! I wanted carnival victory cruise ship profile pictures more Hov-  I wasn t ready to go home yet!! Seemed like neither did Jay. It was a great moment in the show that he asked for the lights to get turned up some and looked through the crowd. He then went on to look through the crowd and shout people out. One woman had a shirt on that had a picture of Beyonce looking sexy in a bikini and Jay spotted it and pointed to her and said, Love the shirt ma, camera man, zoom in on that one! Too funny- he then said thank you for coming to a guy wearing a RocNation shirt, a guy wearing an A s hat and a lady who was front row who came from Clevland Ohio. He said to her, You know my tour is coming to Ohio, you didn t have to come all the way to San Jose. Everyone was cracking up. Then a cool moment was when a guy held up a poster he made that said, Can you please sign it. Jay looked at him and said to security, give me the sign and he actually SIGNED the poster for the guy!! Super lucky and a touching moment! Jay loves his fans and he wanted to make sure we all knew it. He said, This is my favorite part of the show. I wanna give you the same energy you ve given me from day one. It s cool to buy my albums, but I appreciate it that you took time, spent money to come tonight. I know it s not easy. Some of ya ll had to find babysitters, get off work. So thank you. Awwwww isn t my man GREAT!!!! After introducing the band a
