Who were tickets available to?

“Contest Winners,” people in the industry, connected with Gaga’s team or the sponsor, influencers and other people that know people.

The NYC one is my favourite, and one she sang Angel Down on the roof that was one of my favourite performances from the Joanne era

The Dive Bar Tour is legendary. It perfectly set the tone for the Joanne era, visually and symbolically :messga:

I think the idea was more “These are my country Nashville songs”, “These are my more rock/pop NYC songs”, and “These are my more ____ LA songs”.

Each stop on the Dive Bar tour really represented different parts of the album. Every time Gaga releases her albums she always finds a different way to release it into the world. Nashville is obviously a country town, and she really played those country influenced hits off Joanne. 

Next we have New York...the place she played at the begining of her career when she was still Stefani. The songs selected for the set list really the most Stefani influenced songs from Joanne.. Diamond Heart, Grigio Girls & Just Another Day to be specific. 


The LA stop was meant to be a very extravagant performance, hence the dancers and Gaga doing choreo for the first time in ages that night. Performing the more "GAGA" songs from Joanne (John Wayne, Come To Mama)...

You mention about if there were no dancers it would be more of an intimate setting instead of a big performance, however at the previous 2 stops in Nashville and New York, that's exactly what she did. There were no dancers, it was super intimate.. so for the final stop, in LA of all places (one of the most extravagant over the top places, very show bizz) - the performance was spot on start to finish.

The part about her stage diving - she mentions it in Five Foot Two in the doctors office. She talks about that even though she struggles with PTSD, and chronic body pain, that when she hears the adrenaline of her music and see's the fans adrenaline, she can "****ing go!".. so I believe in that moment she was honestly just feeling it and decided to ****ing stage dive, probably wasn't planned at all, but it was one of her best imo; it was strikingly similar to the Perfect Illusion music video it's self, it was fantastic how she really brought that energy to life.

As everybody mentioned, each of the Dive Bar Tour dates had something different to it. Nashville had the most Americana/country/"trying on a new hat" persona, New York City had more of her roots and performance origins, and LA was the most camp (hence the dancers).

I liked the tour when it happened, but I love it much more now. In retrospect, it was a very intimate time in her career. Her playing at the Bitter End again, especially when she performed out on the roof for the public- now that was special.

So I'm now watching the New York one, and love it.  I prefer it to the LA performance, and the fact that Sonja is there is just heartbreaking, but wonderful for that time I'm sure. 

I love that it is at one of the original places she played before she became famous. I'm hoping to find videos of the roof performance.

You should check out the other performances, they're better in my opinion, especially the Bitter End one. Also check the after-performances, when she decided to sing on the roof for the fans who were not in the bar :

I loved the New York one! I can't seem to find the Nashville one :confused:, so if anyone has a link to that please share. 

Nevermind I found it! :party:
