Black Star:: "Respiration" :: Concert Follow-up

Before the show last night we all agreed that the best thing that could happen during a Black Star concert in Chicago would be Common joining Mos and Talib for "Respiration". About an hour into the encore the crowd's energy had gone from intense to bonkers, but no "Respiration". Then when we all thought our hopes may not come to pass, BAM! The below happened. I have never seen a crowd respond in such a frenzy like they did here, surging towards the stage, screaming, and jumping in pure bliss.



Maybe I have rose-colored glasses on 1-day post-concert. Maybe my shattered eardrums have affected my judgement. But I would argue that the show last night may have been the best I have ever seen. Yes, I said it. The best. The energy was so infectious, and you could see Mos and Talib were eating it up. Chicago, man. Wow. What a show. Not to be forgotten. Escuche la. La ciudad respirando.
