Beyonce and Jay Z 'On the Run Tour' Live: Star Couple Performs at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium
Beyoncé and Jay-Z are on fire! Their "On The Run" tour has sold out at every stop and the nearly two-hour show will go down in history as one of the most organized and entertaining shows in concert history.
On July 11, 2014, a multitude of excited fans wearing shirts that read "Flawless" and "Don't Worry Be Yonce" rushed into East Rutherford, New Jersey's Met Life Stadium. It was an epic night where rap royalty Jay-Z combined forces with his wife superstar Beyoncé. Fans giggled in excitement as they walked to their floor seats realizing how breathtaking it was. "This is Not Real Life" read on the stage and it was indeed as if you had just walked into a different dimension.
The actual concert was a big film! The promo for "Run" a movie trailer that featured Jay and Bey as the famous delinquent couple Bonnie and Clyde, continued during intermissions at the concert (Not an actual movie). It was brilliant how each song fit in perfectly with the clip on the huge screen before. The detailed flow of songs from Jay-Z's hits to Beyoncé's was impeccable. Jay-Z performed his emotional tune "Song Cry" as Beyoncé made her way to the middle stage in a white veil and all white pantsuit to perform "Resentment." At that moment, it felt as these two were vulnerably pouring their hearts out about the ups and downs of their relationship. No tabloid report, no unnamed source -- just a true confession of imperfection from one of Hollywood's most powerful couples.
Of course, it was impossible not to see that most concertgoers were Beyoncé fans, but the Jay-Z fans were unquestionable. The "XO" singer combined older hits with new hits off of her surprise album "Beyonce" with costume changes and dancer solos. She did not, however, perform any Destiny's Child songs, which she is known to do even after splitting from group members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams years back.
Jay-Z held his ground as he performed all of his hits, including songs from his famous "Watch the Throne" album with Kanye West. Bey filled in for Justin Timberlake, singing his hook in "Holy Grail," as Jay wowed the crowd with his rap verses. One of the most humorous part of the show: the slideshow of celebrity mug shots including Justin Bieber's infamous smiling shot playing on the huge screen as Jay performed "Jigga that N**ga."
The end of the show was a gift to the audience. Unexpectedly for the very private couple, they shared home videos of their wedding and their daughter from her birth until now. As they performed Jay-Z's "Forever Young" and Beyoncé's "Halo," the proud parents stared at the screen behind them with the most mesmerizing smiles as they watched their biggest conquest and accomplishment Blue Ivy. It was another very emotional moment for fans as they realized that, at that moment, they were part of Bey's and Jay's family. Truly the most perfect ending to an amazing show as the intimate videos came to an end the screen read: "This is Real Life."
