I did read an article that said about halfway thru the show or so Kanye boasted "Is this what you all have been waiting for!?!" If that's what thedudeabides is referring to, then I don't really consider that acknowledging the crowd, but rather acknowledging himself. What else is new?

We talked about it at Camp inforoo the day after, it was slight, and for anybody but kanye wouldnt even count, but in the intro of jesus walks he begged for forgiveness for all his sins to get off the planet, including never being late for another show. everyone laughed at this point, it was pretty funny

I think that whole part about not being late was part of the show. He's talking about being forgiven and I remember him saying "I won't rush award show stages anymore" and got the crowd to cheer.........but I didn't think he deviated from the script.

I was at the Plant/Krauss show with Jesus and he was still pissed..
This clip shows a little more of his "promises" before launching into "Jesus Walks" at Bonnaroo:
No mention of promising to not be late. I compared it to some clips of the same intro and song from other concert dates. It's identical to those. He was just reading the usual script.
i just cant believe HOW EMPTY it is. i mean i can, but yeah.
That was pretty darn near the last song he sang. If not THE last one. People were pretty disgusted by then. A ton of folks had left. It was sunrise at that point. Seriously. Like, you could see absolutely everything. No darkness left.
