Tonight and tomorrow, Jay-Z and Eminem will conclude the second half of their Home and Home concert series at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. What kind of madness will ensue? Will Alicia Keys come out to perform "Empire State of Mind"? Will Rihanna and Em give us a replay of their VMA performance? No one knows for sure, but just like the rest of hip-hop, we're super-hyped to see the two hip-hop legends rock the house. We're so hyped, in fact, that it got us thinking about all the amazing moments Jigga has brought to the stage over the years. That's why we put together Encore: Jay-Z's Greatest Concert Moments, counting down just a few of Jigga's many performance highlights. Are you not entertained?

Absolutley awesome. One Correction - I Declare War Concert was in 2006, not '04

This is great, but you are missing one of the best ever by far, beats out at least 4 of these. That was the 2nd Madison Square Garden show for the "Best of Both Worlds" tour when R-Kelly left the tour and Jay didn't know if he was going to do the show or not. People called Hot 97 and told him to do it, and he said he'd make some phone call and call some friends. That concert was epic. He brought out Busta, Redman, Method, Mariah, Mary J, T.I., and then killed everyone by bringing out Diddy AND Mase who hadn't done a thing together in years. That's in his Top 3 without question. Nobody has pull like Jay.

great list. a moment i thought was really ill also that was not on this list was when kanye brought jay out at the garden in summer '08 to do "jockin' jay-z" for the first time at the end of his glow in the dark show. i was there for the first night of glow in the dark and was waiting for jay to come out, but he came out the second night instead and it was crazy and i was pissed that i missed it. instead i was there the first night where kanye closed the show raving about how important an mc nas was when he was coming up, which was interesting, but obviously not as dope as seeing jay come out and do a new song. oh well, at least the "jockin' jay-z" video footage was crispy.
