Audio recording of the first live DVD featuring genius producer and artist Kanye West recorded September 21 2005 at Abbey Road Studios in London. Live support comes in the form of a full orchestra, famous turntablist A-TRAK, John Legend, GLC, Consequence, and more!

Hip-hop superstar West follows up his second studio album 'Late Registration' with this live effort, recorded at London's legendary Abbey Road studios, in front of a specially invited audience of 300 lucky fans, and with the backing of a full symphony orchestra. West gives it his all for this performance of his biggest hits, and his cerebral rhymes get the benefit of a huge soundbed which completely alters the dynamic of the songs. Also available on DVD.

Kanye West first gained fame as an acclaimed hip-hop producer, working with Jay-Z, Foxy Brown, Mase, and others. West's solo debut was delayed due to a serious car accident, but when THE COLLEGE DROPOUT finally appeared in 2004, it took the hip-hop world by storm with its combination of old-school R&B samples, inventive contemporary production, and clever rhymes. And while West continued to churn out hot tracks for a bevy of artists, popping up in the credits of what seemed to be an impossible number of CDs, he was still able to continue his run of critically and commercially successful releases, 2005's LATE REGISTRATION and 2007's GRADUATION, and become the undisputed King of Hip-Hop in the '00s.
