Jay-Z Hooks Them In Fresno, CA Concert Recap
Jay-Z in Concert at the Save Mart Center Fresno, CA November 7.
As reported by Mike Oz (photo courtesy of) at the Fresno Bee.
Perhaps the most astonishing thing about Jay-Z isn't the millions of records sold, or the big catalog of hits -- it's that he makes it all look so easy.
Such was the case Saturday night at Save Mart Center. From the second he took the stage, to the end of his almost-two-hour set, he had the crowd hooked on every word, and did it effortlessly.
Sure, there was a big stage production and an 11-piece band backing him up, but Jay-Z was up there simply in black jeans, a black T-shirt and black sunglasses. He made one costume change -- donning a New York Yankees cap midway through the show.
That said, Saturday night's crowd was one of the most electric and involved the Save Mart Center has seen. Maybe it was because Fresno had never seen a hip-hop show at Save Mart Center. Or maybe it was just become Jay-Z is really good at what he does.
