Random Memories From Gaga Concerts

[Massive Monster 5,049]

Do you have any random/funny/bad memories from Gaga concerts you've attended not perpetuated by the show itself but more by the audience or yourself ?

I do

1. Born This Way Ball - Twickenham Stadium UK - September 2012

It was a fairly long day for me to travel there so I caught myself yawning at some point during the show and to this day I feel extremely bad about it 

When the show ended it was a sea of plastic cups and bottles in the standing area and I vividly remember the noise of everyone stepping onto plastic 

(ArtRave: nothing to declare)

2. Joanne World Tour - Birmingham UK - February 1st 2018 (the last show before it was cancelled!)

I had bought tickets to see the show in London because I wanted to experience it there. However less than a week before the show in Birmingham (closer to where I live) there was still tickets there (at a decent price). I couldn't wait so I went for Birmingham.

Turns out it was the last show ! I was so lucky 

When the show started and Gaga appeared during Diamond Heart, something got in one of my eyes (possibly my sweat ) and it itched like hell. I had one eye constantly crying during the first 3 songs and I couldn't see anything  I had to rub it and find a tissue in my backpack. I was so embarrassed and I'm sure people thought I was crying at a Gaga concert (which doesn't fit with my beardy alpha physique ) 

During a very verbal segment from Gaga (possibly around Grigio Girls), a guy and a girl near me were talking/laughing super loud (I mean very loud) to each other about some random crap. I was so pissed, and with other people we looked at each other in disapproval  I had to move as far as possible from them.

Born This Way Ball: When she entered on the unicorn and dancing during Government Hooker, "omg she is so small wtf this woman with so much power and talent and charisma is this small"

artRAVE: When she rose out from the stage I remember her sillhouette with the blue light behind her, her costume sparkling like a million crystals, her skin looked porcelain smooth. I could see the crowd reflected in the Koons ball and the wings were slightly fluttering. She was perfectly still but I could see her breathing and her eyes looking up and down the front row crowd, stopping on every face.

Also seeing her dance during Venus the second time when I was right under that stage, I think I turned straight for 10 seconds   and I remember seeing how glorious the Venus wig is in person, flying around as she shook her head, and little strands of hair were coming out and floating down.

 

So much more but those images are SO clear in my mind

I've posted this before...

It happened at the Artrave in Birmingham, UK

Somebody farted throughout the whole show and I had seats so I couldn't escape it. The smell got stronger every 20 minutes and I swear to god it was one of the worst smells I've ever experienced in my life. Everybody was covering their noses and leaning away from each other because they thought it was the person next to them.

It's funny in hindsight but at the time it was torture.

artRave in Milan: there was a hell of a storm going on that night, freezing rain and howling wind as I waited from 3pm to 9:30pm (obviously she was like 30' late and Italian curfews for concerts are pretty strict, so she cut What's Up cover from the setlist) to get in the venue. I saw a father and his son trying to sneak in by cracking the venue gates open lmao and I remember a 2meters tall guy (in high heels) with Judas makeup melted all over his face yelling to let us in because he was dying. 

 

JWT in Milan: show got postponed from September to January and the weather was damn cold, but the venue wouldn't open the doors earlier. 

 

So yes, a lot of cold memories 😂

OMG, I remember the plastic crunching too. Getting to the back of the stadium again felt like some weird endurance game!

And then the hour it took to shuffle towards the train station with thousands of others. I lived three stops from Twickenham at the time. An hour to get to the station, 10 minutes home on the train 

[Teal Ambition 47,805]

Monster Ball: The girl sitting in front of me was soooo drunk and always had her hands in the air, so short 15-year old me was pissed because I couldn't see properly  and her arm was constantly in my pictures 

artRAVE: My show was at a festival outside, and during the part where her dancers throw the plush toys, my cousin was smacked with the unicorn in the face  We laughed so hard

Joanne World Tour: It was an amazing tour, but I will forever associate this with a postponement. I was walking the streets of Montreal, we were looking for Gaga's hotel and then I got her tweet notification saying she had to cancel the show and I had a meltdown in the middle of the streets 

Enigma: During Aura when Gaga tells us to jump, I got a notification on my Apple Watch telling me to breathe  And when she came out on the Scheisse robot, I almost LOST IT. I was screaming so loud even though I knew it was coming and you could hear the whole thing on my insta story, it was so embarrassing  I didn't realize until after the show

That's amazing !  I have incredible memories from this concert.

Do you remember Twickenham was basically flooded by thousands of people, we couldn't move, and there was policemen on horses.

I had a long journey back to Straffordshire by trains in the night.

I kept seeing people who had clearly attended the show (with the judas bandana fashion and all) spreading through the UK.

It felt like we were "invading Earth" like Gaga says at the end of the concert

I'm so jealous at the fact that you've seen her four times omg

I'm 20 and have only been to one concert like, at all saw Lights live in London, ON in March 2018,

Gaga will be my second concert experience (unless I see Rina Sawayama this Autumn)

Twickenham is a small place for such a huge stadium. I used to avoid the trains on Rugby days but for Gaga I was right in there! Did it all again the second night too 

I love that you could see people who had obviously been to the show on your long journey home

concerts are my life  It's definitely tougher to attend concerts unless you live in or near Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver since those are usually the only stops for artists 

Spoiler

this is some I've been to  I made a collage with my tickets

Joanne World Tour in Cologne: got cancelled

[weed 74,626]

I went to the BTWBall with my sister in Chile and we’re pretty tall and this one woman in particular had an issue and she tried hitting us with her umbrella and then eventually she was escorted out  we were like 5-10 feet from the Monster Pit up front
