K’naan Set List, orig­i­nal­ly uploaded by stechico.

I had the awe­some oppor­tu­ni­ty to lis­ten to K’naan last night. He had a live, acoustic per­for­mance at the Apple Store in San Fran­cis­co. I luck­i­ly got through 4th/Market ear­ly enough as there was a line form­ing from the entrance.

It was my first time see­ing a music per­for­mance in an Apple Store as I usu­al­ly just go in-and-out to check on stuff. I’m glad that I attend­ed as it was also the first time see­ing K’naan live. It was awe­some. The audi­to­ri­um was­n’t too big, so it was an inti­mate set­ting. The acoustics in the room was great and crisp. Not to men­tion, the expe­ri­ence and sto­ries shared by K’naan felt like it was a VH1 Sto­ry­tellers ses­sion. It was a very hum­bling and enlight­en­ing expe­ri­ence indeed.

Here’s what a small group of us saw, heard and expe­ri­enced.

If you would like to put the ses­sion in your audio play­er, you may down­load the MP3s here.1

Enjoy, and under­stand. Peace.
