![]() ![]() And to be able to close the festival and to see all of you who still love me, after everything I read on TV said the opposite.To have this moment is so unbelievable. So this is the most important show to me since my mom passed. It made me think of his speech during his 2011 Coachella headlining show.Īnd I always said when I was working on the last album, I couldn't wait to perform 'Power' at Coachella. A moment of levity broke through the solemnity when Kim Kardashian West and North West ran up the hill for North to deliver the iconic, "Poop-ity scoop." DMX even delivered a prayer after Chance the Rapper performed his verse from "Ultralight Beam."Īs Sunday Service neared its climax, Kanye was visibly emotional, crying openly, while Kid Cudi and others around him provided comfort. A powerful rendition of "Satan, We're Gonna Tear Your Kingdom Down" by Pastor Shirley Caesar preceded Kanye's infamous troll song, "Lift Yourself," that was elevated to legitimate beauty. The set-list ran about 25 songs and bounced from well-known Kanye tracks to various covers, all focused on one thing: gospel."Power" from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was re-made-a track about society crumbling and burgeoning madness become one praising God's capacity. It may just have been a unifying aesthetic, conceived by Kanye and long-time collaborator Vanessa Beecroft.įor most of the two hours, the choir and The World Famous Tony Williams dominated, with Kanye (his hair dyed purple), like a director, observing the show he had put together. If there was a deeper meaning to this, it was never defined. And the performers assembled on the mountain were, when shown from the aerial cam, arranged in two rings, a smaller within a larger. ![]() The merch had "Sunday Service at the mountain" laid out in a circle on the back of every shirt. Similar to something Porky Pig might jump through to say, "That's all folks!" While no reason was given, there was a circular motif to the day. The whole stream was shown through a narrowed frame, as if through a pinhole. One of the seemingly odd aspects of Sunday Service was only apparent to those viewing the livestream. ![]()
