Beyoncé & Jay-Z - Intro + Holy Grail (On The Run II Tour, Vancouver)

So, now that I am back from vacation I can finally start going through my footage of this concert and seeing what I can post. I recorded nearly the entire thing, but at points the footage isn't all that great because of them flying overhead on the moving stage and being at the other side of the stadium. Also because I was recording everything in 4k with a 10-minute limit on my phone there were a couple times when the recording stopped mid-song. (Probably the single biggest drawback I have found with the Samsung S9+ and wish they would remove that limitation.) There were portions that turned out extremely well though I think and I will post those when they are ready.

As for the concert itself, it was a massive spectacle that I would compare to Taylor Swift's concert. Both were amazing shows, well put together, lots of 'performance-enhancing' extras like pyrotechnics and fireworks, good music and amazing vocals. If you think Beyonce is a talented vocal artist already, hearing her sing live will blow you away, because it is even better than her voice in the studio. The things I didn't like were the fact that the stage was so high that unless they were at the very front of the stage it was hard to see them, at least from being as close to the stage on the floor as possible, as well as those damn fans that were HUGE and right in the middle of the stage. They would often block them out completely as they walked back and forth across the stage. If there was anything that needed a rethink badly, it was the positioning of those things. The lifting stage that then ran along tracks to the other end of the stadium was crappy for us, (the people on the floor, especially those close to the stage,) but I can understand why they did it and it was generally an interesting concept, I just wish there was some way of doing it without hampering our viewing, but how they could have done it, I don't have the answer. It was nice for the rest of the stadium to give everyone at least a chance to get somewhat close to them, (even if they are still really far away due to how large the stadiums are.)

As far as this video goes, I believe it is the worst of them all for tracking and also quality. I had everything set up and ready for when it started and then there were some issues with security and items around the front railing, which a bunch of us had to deal with, which of course happened right as the show was starting, which both led to my settings being reset to Auto, (which I find doesn't work well, I use Pro and set everything myself,) and having to fumble around, which is why the very beginning is all over the place. I was debating not publishing this video because of all these problems, but the music turned out (fairly) decent, so ultimately it is here for the audio instead of the video, (although there are a few moments of good video.)

This is Beyonce & Jay-Z performing Jay-Z's song 'Holy Grail' live at BC Place, Vancouver, BC on October 2nd, 2018, during the OTR II (On The Run II) Tour.
