So it was filmed?

Most ppl watched it on IG livestreams, but I'm sure other audience members got good recordings

She tweeted 

"I'll see you in Babylon"

I think she meant "I'll see you in Berghain"

I mean...that's not really inconsistent though?

This whole era's aesthetic with the exception of Stupid Love has been dark, grungy, and dystopian and that's exactly what the show is. It's right out of the RoM video, the Paper Mag shoot, the album cover.

Btw, are the choreos by Richy? Cuz they are good so I am not sure he’s behind these

I was there. It was my first concert ever  My thoughts:

1) RIP ARTPOP and Joanne, we didn't hear any tracks from them.

2) I'm sad Sine from Above wasn't performed, but I can see why.

3) Why did she let Applause and Alejandro out?

4) Four songs on a piano was a little too much.

4) I left after Hold My Hand was performed and the lights opened. I had to take the subway. So don't know if she said godbye.

 

And the good ones:

1) I am in phaqing awe, that show was a MASTERPIECE. The outfits, the lights, the graphics Gaga herself. I hope she remembered what being a singer is and start focusing on her singing career more.

2) I loved the beginning. Starting with Bad Romance and an iconic performance was a smart move to get us into the mood immediately .

3) She proved to us that she still rocks and hasn't forgot her rootes.

4) Those flames were hot, just like that guy sitting next to me.

The only thing I really disliked was the head mic. She sounded great but I think she just sounds so much better with a handheld mic.

So glad you had fun! What an amazing experience being at opening night and I'm so jealous 

Did you catch a glimpse at the Merch? I was wondering if they had more than those 4 t-shirts and one sweatshirt we saw pics of?

I'm not trying to Rain On You(r) parade. Enjoy the show. I just feel like more could've been done with it. But given covid/richy drama/it's only 20 shows then she probably just wants it over and done with and I don't blame her

[Bazaar 5,752]

No one threw gifts/letters at her like in her previous tours?

[NewYorkCity 10,536]

Guys where do you see too many ballads? Idgi… there are three pure ballads on the whole set list. It’s what she has done on every tour…. 
 

[stevana229 1,881]

really disappointed she didnt perform all the Chromatica songs... her tours are KNOWN for singing almost every song of the album she's promoting. sad she cut them out 

[Dadru 2,380]

If I can share one critique is that Applause deserved to be performed at the finale act, that would’ve slayed. It was so quick with just SL & ROM.

Ofherwise WHAT A SHOW and those flames omg BURN ME GAGA

[MelbHawker 6,583]

Opening night of a tour always feels somewhat incomplete - set list will change, outfits will change etc.

From what I’ve seen, the show looks damn good. The stage is a visual spectacle, the interludes look divine. I hope she takes out Love Game/Telephone & replaces with Sine From Above. HMH as the closer feels a bit odd too considering it didn’t smash. She should slot it in after ARUTW & close with ROM. Outfits look so fab - extra chic.

I only found one merch with clothes (mainly shirts) and nothing else. I want to buy a decoration for my keys, but I couldn't find them. Weirdly, they were in the catalogue that was announced some days ago.
