Kanye West will release a live CD and DVD April 24 called Late Orchestration: Live At Abbey Road Studios. The intimate performance for an audience of just 300 was a landmark in West's career, as he performed with a 17-piece orchestra. Along with the performance, the DVD will include backstage footage, bonus videos and interviews. Kanye just recently wrapped up his Touch The Sky World Tour in Hawaii, but he has been tapped to headline several festivals this summer, including HFStival in Columbia, MD and the Bumbershoot: Seattle's Music And Arts Festival in September. Hmmm, the Beatles recorded at Abbey Road, and John Lennon said that they were bigger than Jesus... but are they bigger than Kanye dressed as Jesus? Discuss. Tracklist For Late Orchestration: 01.
