Feel sad that you could not attend the event? No worries! Cameramen shot the entire concert, which means you’ll be able to watch it in professional footage in the coming days/weeks exclusively on the Jay Z owned digital platform.

Alicia Keys’ Here, which is executive produced by Swizz Beatz, is out November 4.
