Jay Z And Timberlake Miami Concert Legends Of Summer Tour Tribute To Trayvon



Jay Z And Timberlake Miami Concert Legends Of Summer Tour Tribute To Trayvon. Jay Z, Justin Timberlake Wrap up Concert Tour Miami Legends Of Summer Tour Hip-hop master Jay Z and pop star Justin Timberlake are each likely having one of the best years of their careers. Both had blockbuster album releases (Magna Carta Holy Grail and The 20/20 Experience, respectively) that have topped the charts, and the two decided to venture on the Legends of the Summer stadium tour with just 14 shows across the U.S. and Canada. After already playing to hundreds of thousands of adoring fans, the pair closed their tour in Miami on Friday night with a conquering performance at Sun Life Stadium that will further cement their legacy in pop and hip hop music. The Legends of the Summer show runs at a lengthy two and a half hours with nearly 40 songs (some full-length, others abbreviated). Friday night, the show felt exceptionally well-paced. The transitions were seamless between collaborations and solo efforts. While imposing and colossal, the flashy stage seemed to be the appropriate size for two titans of music. Their likenesses were super-sized on massive video screens, and they carried themselves as if they were truly 10 stories tall. And while it would seem big names would clash, their desire to bring out the best in each other added a surreal element to the mix. It's hard to grasp the idea that two of the biggest stars in music can come together to create a cohesive (and spectacular) show that does equal justice to both. But if anyone could pull it off, it would be these two. Perhaps the most enduring moment of the night was when the duo asked the tens of thousands of fans to light up the stadium with their cellphones and dedicated Jay Z's "Young Forever," which cover's the classic 80's "Forever Young," to Trayvon Martin. While this ritual has been performed at nearly every stop on their tour, it had particular resonance here because of the relationship of the case to many South Floridians (in physical and emotional terms).
