Rihanna Rocks Buffalo With First Tour Concert
Rihanna brought the first concert of her highly-anticipated "Diamonds" tour to the city of Buffalo, NY on March 8. Check out pics and videos of the 'first' night right here!
Buffalo's First Niagara Center was sold-out to witness the Barbados girl do her thing on stage. 18,500 seatings were available. Rihanna made a special comment to this particular audience as it was a very special night; "You guys are all rockstars. There is only one first show, you all have a special place in my heart.". The setlist included 28 tracks:
"Mother Mary"
"Phresh Out The Runway" (contains elements of "Jump")
"Birthday Cake (Remix)"
"Talk That Talk"
"Pour It Up"
"Cockiness (Love It)"
"Numb"
"Jump"
"Umbrella"
"All Of The Lights"
"Rockstar 101"
"What Now"
"Man Down"
"No Love Allowed"
"Rude Boy"
"What's My Name"
"Loveeeeeee Song"
"Love The Way You Lie (Part II)"
"Take a Bow"
"Cold Case Love"
"Hate That I Love You" (contains elements of "Get It Over With")
"We Found Love"
"S&M"
"Only Girl (In The World)"
"Don't Stop the Music" (contains excerpts of "SOS" and "Disturbia")
"Where Have You Been"
Encore
"Stay"
"Diamonds"
The concert included several costume changes: the most-daring for the uptempo songs, and beautiful gowns for the slow jams. And Rihanna performed on a pretty epic-looking stage, her most expensive one thus far, without a doubt. Lots of monitors, and a major superior circular screen, with pyrotechnics included. By the way, what do you think of the setlist (above)?. The most important hits are there, but I just can't believe how Rihanna had no room for jams like "Unfaithful", "Russian Rulette", "Disturbia", or even great tracks fom her latest "Unapologetic" album, "Nobodys' Business" or the epic "Right Now".
