Rather than fully recasting Jeezy’s music in symphonic form with multiple movements, the experience struck the middle ground of incorporating ASO players to the rear of the stage, a smaller backing band near the front of the stage, and additional audio tracks for each song where appropriate, which maintained a cohesion with the artist’s spoken lyrics and the audience’s familiarity with the music.
The warm-up music in the concert hall was reminiscent of an old-school R&B concert rather than setting the tone for one of trap music’s foundational artists, but by the time the lights came up on Jeezy’s opening video montage, set to the classic “My Way” made popular by Frank Sinatra, the intergenerational crowd of approximately 1,800 was amped up for an intimate, exuberant trip down memory lane.
