Late Orchestration is a live album by American hip hop artist Kanye West, released on April 24, 2006 on Mercury Records.^[1] The album features recordings of live renditions of songs derived from his first two studio albums. It was recorded at the famed Abbey Road Studios in London, England before an audience of three hundred personally invited guests and fans on September 21, 2005.^[2] West was backed by a seventeen-piece all-female string orchestra and featured guest appearances by John Legend, Lupe Fiasco, GLC and Consequence. The CD release features the full performance (12 tracks) along with an additional bonus track, "Gold Digger" (Live at AOL). A video containing footage of the concert as well as interviews and bonus music videos for the first four singles of Late Registration was also released under the same name.^[3]
