Lady Gaga Presents the Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden

What about the Born This Way Ball?

It's still her best tour up to date, just everything about it was perfect.

The BTWB had more impressive visuals, theatrics and props, but the MB had that perfect combination of rock CONCERT vibe, AUTHENTICITY and amazing SHOW.

It was a great show and so much energy but my favorite is The Born This Way Ball because of the music, the storyline, the sci-fi vibe, etc.

I agree with the non genuine part. I watched the Monster Ball a few months ago and Gaga seemed so fake. Everything was done in a calculated way tbh. The BTW Ball & artRAVE feel way more genuine than the Monster ball

Two reviews and Madonna is metioned three times. What's the need to compare them so much? 

Only 3 years of career and everybody compared her with Madonna. Is it really impressive?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE The Monster Ball, it's iconic and probably her best tour. That said, while I'm grateful we have a professional recording of it, I don't like how they did cut songs, interludes, the way too heavy usage of the backup singers (sometimes you can't hear Gaga AT ALL and it pisses me off a lot) and the hair during this special. If only she allowed Lollapalooza to broadcast that show back then we surely would have got a much better product, but oh well, as I said it's better getting something rather than nothing

still pissed we didn't get the showstudio interludes, those were a main part of the show

While I'm still sad we didn't get the BTWB on video, I'm glad we have MB.

That said, I don't know if a home video would catch the essence of her shows. Judging by the fan videos I've seen from MB all throughout the years, the HBO version definitely did not touch on the immensity that was the show itself (even if it was still good).

THIS SO F*CKING MUCH

I wonder at times how she put up such a good show with such a short amount of time, same with TMB 1.0, which I prefer personally. Maybe she had thought about what her perfect arena tour would be like for a long time before that. 

The show was still so damn good, so sad gaga is probably not going to do something like this again.
