When I first heard the news of the tour, Jay-Z was the only one mentioned and I was elated.   I have watched over and over again most of his tours on tv; Backstage, Fade to Black, Unplugged… and was excited about the prospect of finally seeing him perform live.  When I heard that it would be at Chastain Park, I thought “damn, even better!”  If you’re not from Atlanta, Chastain Park is a venue where you can bring in your own food and drinks.  So of course what could be better than watching Jay perform while getting tipsy and also satisfying my munchies.  Then they announced that they would not be allowing anyone to bring in food or beverages.  Bummer #1.  Also, it is open to all ages.  Bummer #2 because who wants to see a bunch of kids running around at a damn concert.  Then I found out why it was open to all ages – Ciara is also on the tour.  She’s definitley a performer but I don’t get why they put the two of them together on a tour.  Now I’m wondering what the catalog will be like and how young the audience will be.  But all in all, it is indeed Jay-Z and this may be on the few times we’ll get to see his old azz perform live so let’s all go, yes?
