Chester French was an added bonus, but Q-Tip was really the draw for me. He killed it for an hour - working the stage and pulling from his vast collection of great songs. From Tribe days, to Amplified and Renaissance, with nods to MJ (see red jacket and some Jackson 5 moves) and James Brown (his DJ pulled out a towel and draped it like a cape). I was impressed.
Everyone was staring, like he commanded it. I don't know whether it was his bluetooth, or the fact that he was the only person who stood on the ledge of a trailer (which was unnecessary to see the show), or that he tried and succeeded in starting the crowd doing the double clap, or that during the 'Vivrant Thing' he decided he was feeling it so much he turned around and slapped/humped the trailer, or that he finally climbed on stage during 'Award Tour'. Probably, the combination of all of it. I know I couldn't help but notice - but I can say I didn't join in the double clap. xx
