Beyonce Brings Out Jay Z Kendrick Lamar Serena Williams at Formation Tour Finale in N J Pls Subscribe https://goo.gl/tBQ8bs The closing show of Beyonce's 49-date, six-month long Formation tour at New Jersey's Metlife Stadium on Friday night (Oct. 7) was "something special," as the Queen herself told the crowd. She was right: Not because there was any drastic overhaul of the show which, of course, is nothing less than the greatest all-around musical performer of the past quarter-century continuously challenging herself with Olympic feats of talent, skill, creative direction and endurance. But rather because the concert which was inadvertently the finale because it was originally scheduled for a month earlier but postponed because of a doctor-mandated vocal rest had an unusual level of closing-night wistfulness even from this highly emotive performer, and took place just across the river from her adopted hometown of New York. Oh, and she for the first time in the entire tour, she brought out guests none other than husband Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar and even Serena Williams. With a few exceptionsthere was no "Single Ladies," no "Irreplaceable," no cover of Prince's "Beautiful Ones" the show was largely the same one you've been seeing or reading about since it launched in Miami on April 29. The fireworks, the 50-foot flames, the "Monolith" the gargantuan 60-foot-tall, rotating video cube at the center of the main stage and wall of lights around it, the runway and secondary stage at center of the floor, which transformed into a huge wading pool Beyonce and the dancers performed the last few songs in. Likewise, the set list was pretty much intact: themed segments leaning heavily on Lemonade ambitiously beginning the show with the album's two most-popular songs, "Formation" and "Sorry" before a closing volley of earlier hits.
