Ale

All I can say is wow. Last night was the best concert I’ve ever been to. It was even better than Blackpool. Will has so much energy, it just sort of radiates off him. I saw Jeff a few months ago and I can say the same about both of them. They have the same energy as they had 40 years ago. You can tell they are both lifelong entertainers. 
 
The show had everything. Nostalgia with the FPOBA theme tune, the Apache dance and the tribute to uncle Phil. His older hits are obviously big tunes for everyone. His newer stuff went down well. He did a good job setting up “You can make it” so everyone got into it. “Work of art” was great but he had to stop half way as someone was about to collapse ( very hot and cramped up front) so we missed a chunk. He put “ get lit” in. Although none of us like the song, he gets the crowd into it.
I was very excited to see WWW as he didn’t do it in Blackpool. The production was incredible with the backdrop, the dancers and that male singer is incredible.
Seeing the Oscar in real life was fab and it was nice to see him proud of it. I think the last few years you could see Will lost some of his sparkle but seeing him on stage he looked so happy and he soaked up the crowd when they shouted his name. I hope from this he does more shows, especially for you guys in America and Australia. He clearly loved every second.
It was great spending it with big fans, we did JJFP.com proud by yelling those BNF lyrics louder than anyone. And I got a shout of from Will coz I made a sign saying “I’m not even real, I’m A.I” and laughed and read it out.

Myself, Kev, Brakes and Michelle are meeting up in Wolverhampton to see the show tomorrow.
Im so excited, I’ve heard nothing but good things from people who were there. We are hoping to get there early to be as close as we can.

I went to this show. Setlist was a bit different from his shows in Orange. Had a great time! 

I went to both shows in Orange. The venue was crazy, so impressive. 
I don’t want to post and talk too much about it because I know a lot of you guys are still going to see the show and I don’t want to spoil the experience. Let me tell you one thing: people love him! They don’t care about Jada, the slap and all that bull****. They just want to see him do his thing. The classic songs get the show going, Get Lit gets a huge response. The newer stuff sounds great live. Loved these two shows! Seeing him again in my homeland Belgium next week.

Glad you enjoyed it man! I'm seeing him this week in France and next week in Belgium.

I had the priviledge of attending this concert. Had a great time! It was amazing to see him performing songs like 'Brand New Funk' or 'Boom! Shake The Room' live. And also 'Bulletproof' from the new ones.
A really great and unforgettable experience for me.
Thank you, Will.

So that was awesome. But it could have been way better. Hear me out:

At first we had the opener Beginner Soundsystem (Beginner without Jan Delay) which where awesome and great fun for about 30 minutes. 

As it was only a bit over an hour (1:20 with Pause) you can clearly see that this Tour was not intended in the first place. There were only Festivals planned. And the concept is absolutely ok for that. Adding some Headline concerts with basically the same concept with just a few more songs and then sell it as a "Based on a true story" concert... that was ****ed up marketing. It was more a Best of Will Smith concert. And I liked every bit of it. 

But if they had marketed that as kind of best of Tour he def. would have sold more tickets. Frankfurt was only sold for about 70-80% is my guess. The prices are one thing (I paid 170. If I had waited, that was down to 120 In the end. Front Stage was 250 and then down to 110...)

I don't know if it was an issue with the Festhalle but the Sound was veeeeery bad mixed. Way too much bass and constantly overdriven. This is in this case, not as bad as it could have been since Hip Hop is very bass-heavy, luckily. But it could have been a better experience nonetheless. 

The Setlist was mostly like DefCems. We had Hard Smile at the very end, A Bad Boys Mix and I believe a different opener but I'm not sure what it was. 

I loved the Avery part, but my seat was so bad I couldn't watch any of the scenes. Bad Stage design, but the worst part was: They didn't show it at the two smaller screens on the side... I also loved the Old School Hip Hop Part with a Breakdance Crew and everything. And I liked that he had a Band. It is much better than tape... 

Overall. It was, maybe not worth the 170..., but Im glad I finally could see him Live on Stage after all those years. I had fun, it was a nice crowd overall, mostly my age or even older (I am 37). But... I didn't needed the Translator lady. It was a nice gesture, tough for some older folks. 

If you can see him you should go. Who knows if we ever get that chance again. 

And here is the Merch. The Red Shirt is available in Black too. The Shirts are 45 and the Cap is 35. There is also a Bag for 25 with the same design as the black shirt. 

I saw him in Hamburg. I dont know when the doors opened, but i went in one hour before the show started (i had a golden circle ticket). There was an opening act (Denyo & DJ Mad from a german rap group called Absolute Beginner) which went for an hour.  Will said in several interviews that he's gonna go on tour with Jeff, so it was really disappointing when i realized that Jeff wasnt there. His performance was entertaining though. He opened the show with his verse from Joyner's Will remix, proceeded with Jiggy, Miami, Boom Shake The Room, Brand New Funk, Switch, Fresh Prince, Men in Black, Wild Wild West and then his new stuff like Rave In The Wasteland, Work of Art, You Can Make It, Pretty Girls, which was obviously the weakest part in my opinion. He ended the show with Summertime and his Willywood verse from The Chosen One.
The overall concept was really nice as he paid tribute to James Avery and did the Carlton dance and other funny stuff in between songs.
The biggest downside was the heavy rain (typical of Hamburg) and the non functional drainage system. The water flooded the whole front area and was up to my ankle. So jumping was impossible and my sneakers are ruined...
It wasnt JJFP, but i think i'll consider it as one item off my bucket list. 

Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I think this is the first time he has done 'Light Em Up' live.
And I really enjoyed that old school hip hop section as well.

so far this is the largest chunk I’ve found of the show. Not great footage but it is what it is. 
 
Really impressed with what I’ve seen so far. The “old school hip hop” section was unreal. Think this is the first time he’s performed “light em up”.
shocked to see “get lit” make a return lol.

Nice words from Will to Jeff before the 'Boom! Shake The Room' performance 
 

The new song is cool and I’m glad Will is having fun with the music again, but I was thinking of something…he constantly talks about wanting to be respected as an artist. He wants his name in the same breath as Dre, Jay, Rakim, LL, Slick Rick, etc…but if he wants that we need some real hip hop. He needs to dig back deep to his roots. We know he’s capable of spitting bars. We need more tracks like Tantrum. These days it’s hard to sell and it’s even harder to get a hit like Jiggy…I feel like that’s kinda what he’s shooting for with a summer anthem like this but at the end of the day he has a chance to really do something to cement his name in hip hop. Not that that isn’t already in stone, but to really show out and prove himself in a rap game that’s currently lacking.
 
You look at Nas, LL, Dre, Snoop…these old heads are still spittin and still getting respect. I really hope these next 2 seasons have some real stuff. Just my two cents. If this is what he wants and he’s just having fun then I support it. 

'Pretty Girls' Music Video tomorrow!
