kanye west glow in the dark book

(crazy visuals, i know)

kanye west recently released some amazing photographs from his glow in the dark tour. you can check them out on his blog. if you don't, look here and after the jump for same crazy shots.

having seen ye while on this tour, we can say that for all his arrogance and cockiness, the man puts on a great show. for a full hour, it was only kanye. no back up singers, no dancers, no nothing. and for that hour, the entire audience was on its feet, it truly takes a special individual to do something like that. his intensity spread throughout the people like wildfire, definitely a concert we here at stc won't forget.

these photographs are compiled in his book Glow in the Dark, on sale now.
