Kanye opened the show with a powerful performance of "Gold Digger," complete with a marching band, backup dancers, and a stage set that looked like a prison yard. It was a sight to behold, and it set the tone for the rest of the night. But Kanye wasn't done yet. He also performed "Touch the Sky" later in the show, proving why he was the man of the hour.
