Set components included five band platforms, two sets of gold stairs, two sets of white ones, and six gold columns. Kanye performed two concerts at the Chicago Theatre. The first one, held during the day, rewarded Chicago Public School students who had improved their grades and attendance. The evening concert was a benefit to support the Kanye West Foundation.

After the first concert, when Kanye decided he wanted to make a different stage entrance for the evening concert, CSSI’s onsite team went to work on a new staircase which was ready for the evening performance. Chicago Scenic last worked with Madison Square Garden and Fuse TV in December, providing the scenic elements for Chicago rock band Fall Out Boy.
