Watch The Throne Tour Tickets : Kanye Returns To The Stage Afterwards

The show begins with West and Jay-Z "emerging on two cube-shaped mini stages to the operatic sounds of "HAM"

. Following that, "Who Gon Stop Me" is the next song, with "Otis" being performed with "a Givenchy - designed American flag flashing on the stage's main screens" after an extended introduction using "Try a Little Tenderness" by Otis Redding. Afterwards, Kanye leaves the stage, and Jay performs solo songs like "Where I'm From" and "Empire State of Mind", encouraging the audience to sing along.

Kanye returns to the stage afterwards, performing his own songs like "Power", "Touch the Sky", and "Gold Digger", eventually with the two of them performing songs together, like "Run This Town", Monster" and the remix of "Diamonds from Sierra Leone", where Jay-Z repeatedly told the crowd to "put your diamonds up", the sign for Roc Nation.Mixing hits from both artists discographies, like "Can't Tell Me Nothing", "Good Life", "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)" and "99 Problems", the show then segues into West performing "Runaway" and "Heartless", which has been described as "emotional highlight of the show".

The most energetic part of the show has been reported to be during "Niggas in Paris", with "the track's Will Farrell intro ("We're gonna skate to one song and one song only") brought on the moment that everyone was waiting for." Following other Watch the Throne tracks like "No Church in the Wild" and "Lift Off", the show ends with "Encore" and an |inspirational rendition of "Made in America," complete with images of Martin Luther King Jr. and "sweet brother" Malcolm X flashing on the big screen. The final song is "Why I Love You".USA Today describes the stage design:

This show was visually spectacular.

There was a main, T-shaped stage where both entertainers performed together, and also two cube-shaped mini stages, one at each end of the arena, that rose and lowered at various points during the show. West and Jay-Z performed separately on these cubes, which showed various images (a snarling pitbull, a swimming shark) at different points of the show. Fireballs the size of car tires shot from the floor toward the ceiling during some performances. Two large video screens behind the main stage showed appropriate images during the performances; a virtually non-stop laser light show added to the oomph factor.

Critical reception towards the tour has been positive. MTV News gave the opening show a good review, writing "While the WTT album has been noted for its opulent displays of wealth, Hov and Yeezy's show will be marked by the duo's overabundance of hit records."USA Today praised the duo's ability to get the audience excited, stating "at one point, as Jay-Z and West performed Niggas in Paris from their new hit CD, "Watch the Throne," West exhorted the audience to "Bounce! Bounce!" The resulting stomping had Philips Arena rocking and shaking in a way that it hasn't for the Hawks in a long time."

Rap-Up mused "it was a crowning moment for Jay-Z and Kanye West as they kicked off the Watch the Throne tour to a packed house at Philips Arena in Atlanta on Friday night. The hip-hop kings, collectively known as The Throne, opened the most anticipated hip-hop tour of the year with a bang."Idolator stated that the tour featured "an epic set list that featured selections from each artist own behemoth catalog of hits as well as their Watch The Throne collaborations."
