Orange County Register

Everything I have to say is in the review. In short, it was a landmark performance for a historic Hollywood night. Read all about it and see pics of both Jay-Z and several celebs caught on the red carpet, or click for the set list … with the caveat that I missed a few title while checking out the bathroom and one or two might be incorrect … hey, he crammed in a LOT … any help on filling in the (???) blanks is much appreciated.
