Beyonce dazzled in a Tina Knowles creation last night as she hit the stage for the first show of ’4 Intimate Nights With Beyonce’ concert series at Roseland Ballroom in New York. She performed hits from her new album ’4′, including ‘Countdown’, ‘Best Thing I Never Had’, ‘End Of Time’, ‘I Miss You’, ’1+1′ and ‘Love On Top’.
Meanwhile, her hubby Jay-z had big things to say about her duringa radio interview with 99 Jamz host Lorenzo ‘Ice T’ Thomas this past weekend. When asked what he has learned from Beyonce, he responded:

‘What I learned from [Beyonce] is similar to what what I learned from Mike, and I know that’s blasphemy to compare the two because Mike was such an innovator, but she’s like the second coming.
‘For the hard work and the dedication that she puts into her shows – it just makes you want to work harder at your craft, she’s like a machine.”

For those who weren’t able to snag tickets to her sold out show, you’re in luck. Watch a few of her performances below:
