Kanye West performed selections from his discography opening with “On Sight” and concluding with “Bound 2.” While those songs come from his most recently released collection Yeezus, West also performed songs from his past projects, including “Cold,” “Mercy,” “Hey Mama” and “Jesus Walks,” a selection that was introduced with an actor dressed as Jesus Christ on the stage.
“White Jesus, is that you?” Kanye West reportedly said when the actor appeared on the stage.
For much of the night, West performed in different masks until finally taking the mask off.
