Retro Rewind: Beyonce Performs At Nelson Mandela’s ‘46664’ Concert

Published: Wednesday 26th Jun 2013 by David

In celebrating the tenth anniversary of her debut album ‘Dangerously In Love’, TGJ has billed this week ‘Beyonce Week‘ and has seen us showcase some our favorite moments from the album’s era everyday since Monday.

Today, in what also sees us celebrate one of our heros Nelson Mandela, we unearth footage pulled from 2003’s ‘46664’ concert, named after the prison number Mandela was given when he imprisoned in 1964 and launched to spread awareness for HIV/AIDS in South Africa.

Inspiring to say the least, Beyonce‘s time there saw her meet and aid those affected by the disease up and down and the country, donating time, money and a voice to those who needed it most.

November 29th 2003 below…




If you’ve got time to spare, check out this documentary we found- explaining why the concert above meant so much to the world upon its launch.

      We can’t handle a week of that! Go relax yourself!

      • Jess June 27, 2013

        At least Beyonce excells at something lmfao. Rihanna sounds a hot ghetto ass mess even when she lip syncs. That’s why she had you guys fooled. Hell she even had me fooled I was like “Damn, Rihanna sounds too horrible to be lip syncing” lmfao. I hadn’t realized she did until she punched that poor fan in the face…thats a shame.

  4. king z June 26, 2013

    • TeenageDreamer June 26, 2013

      Didn’t you read what they said.

    • ThatGrapefruitJuice – JYEAH! June 26, 2013

      Cosign! No mas!!!! Anyway, Beyonce week? This week should be Michael week, 4th anniversary since this legend’s passing and we get Beyonce week. What an insult! Who is the idiot on this site?.

  5. DC3United June 26, 2013

    Brings back so many memories.

  6. rihking June 26, 2013

    They have to do retro rewind because beyonce isn’t doing anything. LOL.

    • Lana Del Slay June 26, 2013

      But she earns more than Rihanna who is always busy.

      • ThatGrapefruitJuice – JYEAH! June 26, 2013

        ey you, Lana Del GAY!, everything is not only about money, the root of all evil I’ll have you know; Rihanna is an artist who cares about putting out music ALL THE TIME whether you or I like it or not. She is not on a ego, narcissistic trip. Though I say she’s self-absorbed (who isnt), she is not on that conceited, primitive, pretentious level like some over-singing, overzealous show-offish piece of ****. Rihanna can stay busy and clock @ her own pace as she pleases. I admire her drive and love of showcasing her “unique” talent, always coming with somn different varied and not BORING!!! Ya dig?!

      • rihbbon June 26, 2013

        Oh please your fave is an untalented drunken flop.

    • Te$$a:) June 26, 2013

      Not doing anything? Oh, so making millions more than your fave doesn’t count ? lol.

    • Oh Yeah!!! June 26, 2013

      LOL She still makes more money than Ri-h** who is always changing hair to keep people interested!

  7. Jess June 26, 2013

    The b**** hasn’t released s*** and is still making BANK off of her name alone. If that’s “not doing anything” then idk what the f*** is. LMFAO.

  8. Jess June 26, 2013

    Beyonce DID THAT! LOL.

  9. HerNameIsSasha June 26, 2013

    Beyonce cures diseases, Rihanna spreads them.

    • Te$$a:) June 26, 2013

      I can’t lololol….

      • @_NoFucksGiven_1 June 26, 2013

        No Lies Found

      • Te$$a:) June 26, 2013

        @NOFUCKSGIVEN_1 I know lmfao.

  10. XtinaLuv June 26, 2013

    Ten years has come and gone! I remember watching this when it happened!

    • Te$$a:) June 26, 2013

      Dude, me too 😀

  11. Chile Please!! June 26, 2013

    Okay enough is enough….I’m really going to need TGJ to stop making every other post about Wigonce! Ughhhhh…I’m so tired of this bish (in my Jocelyn voice) nothing is different! Same tired as routines & vocal arrangements……she got everyone thinking she’s this kinds of R&B Goddess! I’m really starting to believe in this Illuminati thing…she must have her fans under some kind of mind spell.

    • Te$$a:) June 26, 2013

      Don’t get mad at Beyonce just because Sam takes time out of his valuable day to make post about her. If your’re tired of it then. I suggest that you try another blog. Maybe B*****. I don’t read it that often but some people do. Other than that idk what else to tell you. Sam always gives Beyonce props and Bashes your fave. Its nothing new. Hell, I wouldn’t visit any blog that appeased Rihanna or her stans because she has zero vocal inclination hardly ever makes an attempt to dance, and I just don’t respect her as an entertainer period. Anyways, with that being said. If TGJ was vice versa I wouldn’t even give Sam the satisfaction by visiting this site. But at the end of the day, its his prerogative. If you don’t like it try else where.

    • Jess June 26, 2013

      Illuminati…fans under mind control? Idk about that but you might be right. I mean, Rihanna can literally punch every single one of her fans in the face, with a foreign object. And they’d still praise her like there’s no tomorrow. You’d think that the simply fact that she doesn’t have any singing/dancing inclination alone would make them not stan for her. But they do. So you just might be on to something.

  12. TheTRUTH June 26, 2013

    OH LOOK ANOTHER BEYONCE DICKRIDING POST. LMAOOOO

  13. @_NoFucksGiven_1 June 26, 2013

    Queen and Slaying. And to dumb ass this is Beyonce week. So shut up. It’s not like R**** has a classic album. Dangerously In Love was that album that snatch every award. And Beyonce wrote the whole album. I think if beyonce write all her music, we can have an album like DIL again…. And in 2003 Beyonce receiver Songwriter award she is the second and only person to receive that award. And first black female..

  14. JOHNVIDAL June 26, 2013

    I swear I´ve not visited or left a single comment in any of the 20 posts these guys have written about Beyonce in the last few days. But damn, what is this????? Why does an album deserve all this homage when no other album has ever deserved it in TGJ?
    Why don´t you post a real retro rewind about a Nelson Mandela concert? Like for example the two Whitney Houston did like 19 and 25 years ago or so? Beyonce is fresh in our memory, she´s still a current artist. All this retro rewind about her is absurd. Is it that you think her debut is the best thing ever? I agree Crazy in Love is her best song and a classic, but damn. Why didn´t you do this when Songs in a Minor reached its 10th anniversary? Cos that is one hell of a debut, with more critical acclaim and probably with bigger sales too. Whitney Houston´s debut album is the most successful album by any act in history in the USA, etc, etc. I mean… I´ve not said anything despite seeing post after post after post, but damn, today when I saw this post, I felt this was needed to say lol

    • The Truth Shall Set You free June 27, 2013

      Because TGJ are the stereotypical gay men who you hear about that have an insatiable appetite for any and everything to do with Beyonce.. They’re obsessed. I’m starting to think its a mental illness

  15. RICHANDBLACK11 June 26, 2013

    This is Beyonce week people and this is SAM blog. He can do what he please. If you don’t like it you can always utilize your options.

    This women is just too Great.

  16. Rosie June 26, 2013

    Since we’re all sick of Sam digging up the most forgotten Bey moments how about you guys list your most played artists on last.fm or wherever?

  17. rih rox June 26, 2013

    I still see Beyonce fans bragging about that b******* Forbes list.
    If it makes you feel any better Rihanna was on it last year at #4 and Beyonce was #16.

    • RICHANDBLACK11 June 26, 2013

      stfu nobody stated anything about forbes.

    • king b June 27, 2013

      BITCHANA will never reach Queenyonce,s level when it comes to Money becusue she’s a drunk ass mess who only cares about getting high that what happen when you party to much people are getting avantage of you beyonce made 80millions87millions87millions consecutively when will your fave???????????

  18. Te$$a:) June 26, 2013

    Beyonce didn’t release any new material last year either though. Rihanna did, yet and still she only made it to #4. lol. So in actuality I don’t feel better. Rihanna fans shouldn’t either.

  19. rih rox June 26, 2013

    I feel like Beyonce pays this blogger to talk about her.

    • Te$$a:) June 26, 2013

      I feel like if that is the case maybe you shouldn’t visit this site. Since you hate her. If Sam was like this about Rihanna I wouldn’t even give this blog the time of day. But since you do. I doubt Sam is gonna stop.

    • Jas June 26, 2013

      Yea Beyonce’s one of the most powerful celebrities in the entertainment industry but she has to pay an Urban Blogger to talk about her. Wow, that makes so much sense *rolls eyes*

  20. ATTENTION June 26, 2013

    NON BEYONCE FANS! IT IS BEYONCE WEEK. IF YOU DON’T LIKE BEYONCE THEN DON’T VISIT THIS BLOG UNTIL NEXT WEEK. SINCE IT PROPOSES THAT MUCH OF A PROBLEM.

  21. rih rox June 26, 2013

    I still see no point in bragging about somebody else’s money. Achievements…OKAY, but money?………… count me out.

    • Rellz June 26, 2013

      Why you pressed though. You’re the only one making a big deal out of it on here

    • Micks June 26, 2013

      Money is the main achievement honey dont be naive

  22. Jas June 26, 2013

    @Rih Rox`B*******! Whether it be about money or achievements they are still not YOUR OWN. You always brag about your faves success. So you can’t even come for the hive.

  23. fatusankoh June 26, 2013

  24. Sam ThatGrapeJuice June 26, 2013

    Aw how nice theres a picture in which Mr Mandela looks like hes going in for a kiss on her lips but Bey manages to swerve just in time lol.

  30. Ropeburn June 27, 2013

    Sam, please!!

    If it really was Beyonce week tell me why you waited until WEDNESDAY to announce it?

    You aren’t fooling anyone! This is just a lame attempt to address your followers who’ve been complaining about all your recent Beyonce d***-riding!!

    Like Ciara said, I’M OUT!!

  31. Special Delivery June 27, 2013

    Yessss lol keep up the retro rewinds! Bey was so cute even Nelson mandela loved her!

  32. AAlan June 27, 2013

    loool people hate it when anything good happens to bey , all of this hater are 95percent fans of rihanna , accept the point that bey is better , and dont bey calling bey a flop cause she not a slop, riri, needs to f**** off and let people who are truelly talented , have their time on the spotlight ,poeple like alexandra burke , sevyn streeter , i don hate rihanna but , she does not have any talents , just because beyonce does not come every year with an album , that does not make her a flop , , beycause it, was the time her solo career really kicked of , and dangerously in love got her 5grammies , and beyone is still one the world bests selling artise’s , and would always be better than riri
