Mr S 8,691 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Consequence of Sound: The Top 100 Greatest Tours of All Time BY MATT MELIS AND NINA CORCORANON JANUARY 23, 2019, 10:39AM 98. Lady Gaga - Born This Way Ball (2012-13) Billed as an “electro-metal pop-opera” with openers like Zedd and The Darkness tacked on, Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Ball was set to be a spectacle even before she hit the road. By embracing ‘80s camp, the self-love themes of the record, and tour-specific Versace outfits, Gaga used innovative stage installations like a medieval castle and a puppeteered horse to create a world all her own through which to relay her music. More than anything else, it was a tour marked by a rigorous routine full of strenuous dance movements -- moves so intense that she developed a break and labral tear of her right hip come the end, as if we couldn't already tell Gaga gives performances her all. – Nina Corcoran The top 5: 01. The Beatles - 1965 US Tour (1965) 02. Michael Jackson - Bad World Tour (1987-89) 03. Grateful Dead - Spring 1977 (1977) 04. Madonna - Who’s That Girl World Tour (1987) 05. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - First UK Tour (1967) https://consequenceofsound.net/2019/01/the-100-greatest-tours-of-all-time/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr S 8,691 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Well I didn't look at the whole list but perhaps they only include one per artist. Because lets be real, Bey and Madonna should have multiple entries too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryusei 61,110 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 1989 tour but not reputation tour, when the reputation tour was a clear step up? ok... Also is there some law that you can't not put the beatles on top of every list or else you get sued??? Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFlop 1,979 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 It's almost impossible to rank tours. How can we compare tours from the '60s to now when there is new technology, production standards, etc? Everything has changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr S 8,691 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 If you click on the 2 writer names, the dude is 30. The girl's age isn't shown but her pic looks like 30/40. Basically these people were not even alive for half of this list. Not sure how they came up with it then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
