John Legend stages intimate concert attended by 3,300 spectators - John Legend performs an intimate show for 3,300 attendees
John Legend, the world-renowned musician, made a memorable appearance in Munich, Germany, recently. Instead of filling the Olympiahalle's 15,000 seats, just 3,300 devoted fans graced the venue, creating a surprisingly intimate atmosphere. Yet, the size didn't dampen the spirit.
The audience was captivated from the moment Legend sat at his piano and belted out "Prelude." The setlist featured a brilliant balance of old favorites like his classic hits "Ordinary People," "Used to Love U," and "So High," along with some newer tracks to keep things fresh.
One unique aspect of the concert was when Legend shared that parts of "Ordinary People" were penned during a difficult period in his life in Germany, as his parents went through a divorce. The song, now more poignant than ever, gave the audience goosebumps, reminding everyone of its timeless beauty.
During the show, Legend spoke warmly about his 20-year journey in music, noting significant companions along the way. Among them was none other than Kanye West, a name that elicited mixed reactions from the crowd. Legend, however, refrained from engaging in a heated discussion, simply acknowledging the complexity of their friendship. "Yes, it's complicated," he remarked, before expressing his longing for the 'old Kanye.'
Prior to the concert, Legend professed his fondness for Munich and the joy it brings him. Reflecting on his career, he shared that rehearsing and performing these songs after so many years felt like turning back the clock 20 years. The evening concluded with Legend's signature ballad, "All of Me," marking one of the most emotional moments of the show.
