It was the second hurdle for the 21-time Grammy winner, whose first concert was delayed two hours due to 'a stolen equipment truck.'
But Kanye made up for the delay with a high-energy show featuring a 60-foot tall mountain set, circular projection screen, a dozen female dancers, four intricate headpieces, and a Jesus Christ look-alike.
The masks - which he wore for 90 percent of the show - were similar to the ones designed by Maison Martin Margiela that he donned last year.
Yeezus was permeated with Catholic imagery such as the Virgin Mary, crucifixes, and clouds incense.

And at one point, a Messiah look-alike emerged onstage wearing the stereotypical white robe and brown beard.
'White Jesus, is that you?' Kanye asked, according to MTV News. 'Oh, s**t!'
The new father removed his white headpiece and proclaimed he'd been looking for Jesus the whole show.
Mock Christ then replied that he'd been there all along, and West sang his 2004 single Jesus Walks.
