Fans were saddened when Yasiin Bey announced that his album with Ferrari Sheppard, December 99th, would be (one of) his last. Following the announcement, the former Mos Def revealed a series of concert dates in New York and Washington, DC, which will serve as his final stateside shows.

The first, which took place at Harlem’s Apollo Theater, happened yesterday (December 21st). With Sheppard by his side, Bey performed a medley of tracks from his catalog, from Black On Both Sides to The Ecstatic and beyond, and was joined by the likes of Slick Rick and Pharoahe Monch throughout the evening.

Now, thanks to an enterprising attendee, the entire show can be viewed below for those who couldn’t make it.

TIDAL will be streaming Yasiin’s second night at the Apollo tonight (December 22nd) at 8pm EST.
