"Heard 'Em Say"

Kanye West - Late Orchestration

So, I've been picking up a lot of Kanye the past couple days. Sue me. Late Orchestration is a live album, featuring live performances of songs from two of his studio albums. It was recorded in front of 300 personally invited guests and fans at Abbey Road Studios (the famous Beatles studio) in the United Kingdom on 21 September 2005. Kanye was backed with a 17-piece all-female (Oh ho ho! lol) string orchestra and featured guest appearances by John Legend, Lupe Fiasco, GLC and Consequence.

It's always nice to hear live versions of some of your favorite tracks. It doesn't have all the tracks I would want to hear in this situation (maybe "Family Business", "Hey Mama", "Two Words" and (freaking) "We Major". Ah well, can't get everything you want.

Tracklisting:
1. "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" – 4:08
2. "Touch the Sky" – 4:07
3. "Crack Music" – 2:48
4. "Drive Slow" – 4:34
5. "Through the Wire" – 3:33
6. "Workout Plan" – 2:53
7. "Heard 'Em Say" – 4:10
8. "All Falls Down" – 3:13
9. "Bring Me Down" – 3:21
10. "Gone" – 4:15
11. "Late" – 3:54
12. "Jesus Walks" – 3:14
13. "Gold Digger (AOL Sessions)" (bonus track) – 3:18
