I don't think they'll change it up much if it all. They have a pretty tight set and it's choreographed between the two of them, wardrobe, dancers and video clips that go along with the flow of the set. I could be way wrong, but I'd be ecstatic with that setlist as it is anyway.
Good point. Maybe they'll keep the order flexible?

1. I saw the show last night in Cincinnati. With it being the On The Run tour, there was a lot of branding with OTR written on it, which is weird because OTR is also a neighborhood (Over The Rhine) just north of downtown.
2. The setlist was identical to the Miami show.
3. The ticketed start time was 8pm, which changed to 9pm on the day of the show. It didn't end up starting till 9:30. It should be mentioned that the stadium was roughly 40% full at 8, 65% full at 8:45, before reaching capacity by about 9:15. Worth noting: the sun didn't fully set till around 9, and I'd imagine they wanted the whole show in the dark to get the full effect of the lighting/pyro.
4. This is more than a concert. There's an entire narrative being told via short videos every few songs. The following songs play into the content of the videos, making the entire show a 2 1/2 hour film-like experience. It's truly impressive.
5. I was a bigger Jay Z fan than a Beyonce fan prior to this show. My position has completely reversed in the last 12 hours. That woman is a goddess.
6. I'm pretty sure the final few songs completely cured me of all cynicism.
7. I was significantly underdressed in jeans and a plain orange shirt. Lots of dudes in fancy clothes, and ladies in club dresses and shoes that should never been worn when you have to climb roughly 300 stairs to get to your seats.
8. The crowd was the loudest crowd I've ever heard at a show. Ever.
9. J and Bey seemed to truly adore each other and are deeply in love. Littles smiles and a few kisses on stage were adorable, and at one point J whispered something in Bey's ear that made her smile and playfully push him away. The crowd swooned.
10. I can't recommend this tour highly enough. Go see it. It's tremendous.
Highlights: Drunk In Love, Single Ladies, No Church in the Wild (with the crowd doing Kanye's verse), Izzo (H.O.V.A.), 99 Problems, Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem), Love on Top.

I've never been so excited about a single concert before! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Thank you for sharing this
my sister was trying to get out of work an hour early on monday so we can make it to baltimore in time for the show, and this morning her supervisor told her she can take the whole day off because "come on, it's beyoncé!" i'm going to see if we can find a last minute hotel so i don't have to drive there and back in one day. but either way, i won't be late!

You'll be able to priceline something cheap no problem. I do it all the time. Anything north or east of the stadium should be fine.

Not sure I would airbnb in Baltimore. What's your price range? Have you tried doing the name your price on Priceline and seeing if you get lucky? I regularly get decent hotels at the last minute for $50-75. A lot of the downtown hotels are empty when no conferences are going down.

i'd say probably $70-75 tops. it's only a few hours away, but i've never been to baltimore and all the reviews of everything i was reading were making me nervous.

On Priceline you can set the minimum number of stars you'll star at, so if you put in a downtown, 3star hotel for $75 you'll probably get something. Downtown Baltimore is fine, just a normal city.

Okay, real review:
It was great (surprise). I'd never actually seen Jay-Z before, and it's amazing how engaging he is just rapping over a track. He can sound awkward to me on a record, but he's incredibly clean live. But, some of the people I talked to while getting drunk food were unimpressed with him. They thought once you've seen him do it a few times it losses its appeal, and there was very little flourish to his solo parts.
Beyonce did the Timberlake part on Holy Grail, which was one of the highlights
Ssetlist was exactly the same as its been. No encore. No XO. I was also disappointed that Countdown didn't get a full treatment, those two are some of my favorites.
The films they showed during the show were also really well done. The concept seemed a little corny but it was well executed.
I think people were way more up for Beyonce. At the same time, a couple of Beyonce's ballads like "If I Were A Boy" were the spots were people sat down or went to pee and get beer and stuff. In general, I think her new album adds a lot of depth to her catalog and translates really well live.
my seats could not be more perfectly in the sky, straight ahead of the stage. the screen says "this is not real life" and it's the truth. if i don't survive this magic, know that i was truly happy with my demise.
