Joe N 60 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 So, I guess the show and the setlist are quite polarising. While many agree that the dark theme was a nice surprise, many also complain about the lack of representation from anything post-BTW on the setlist. Now my question: What would you change (minor to major changes…anything is possible)? I think bringing proper section themes back would help convey the message of the show a little better. I also like the concept of “trauma healing” a lot but it needs to be a little more elaborate: ACT I: Tower (Trauma) 1. Intro / 911 2. Paparazzi 3. Applause 4. Dance in the Dark 5. Rabbit Hole Intro / Alice 6. Replay Just Dance / Monster - Interlude ACT II: Inferno (Submission vs. Dominance) 7. Scheiße 8. Heavy Metal Lover // John Wayne 9. Stupid Love 10. Bad Romance 11. Sour Candy 12. Poker Face Stupid Love (Coucou Chloe Remix) - Interlude ACT III: Temple (Love and Sexuality) 13. Free Woman 14. Telephone // Venus 15. Enigma 16. Alejandro / LoveGame / G.U.Y 17. Babylon ACT IV: Battleground (Healing) Marry the Night - Interlude 18. Sine from Above 19. The Edge of Glory 20. Shallow 21. Always Remember Us This Way // Hold My Hand Encore: 22. Born This Way 23. Rain on Me / = Medley or Mashup // = Alternate Song Choice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji 20,113 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I’d take out the piano section and put the rest of Chromatica onto the setlist. I’d also swap out LoveGame for a different deep cut like Mary Jane Holland. Not complaining though, she serves vocals at the piano. I just think this album and aesthetic would suit keeping it high energy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamo 17,833 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 If I had to rearrange the setlist it would be: ACT I Chromatica I into Alice Stupid Love Free Woman ACT II Bad Romance Just Dance Poker Face ACT III Chromatica II into 911 Sour Candy Love Game Telephone ACT IV Shallow ARUTW HMH ACT V Enigma Monster Replay Born This Way (original version not piano) Encore Rain On Me Babylon (with long ass outro and end credits/ last performance bow with dancers etc) you can serve it to me ancient city style...

I also don’t think the sequence of songs makes a lot of sense for the most part. 911 could have easily been performed in the “cage” instead of Bad Romance, whereas the whole “black leather” section could have worked well for my second segment, visually.

Ziggy 10,768 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Honestly the only major change would be production to her old hits to make them a bit more “90s” to match more of chromatica and the grunge brutalist warehouse aesthetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 102,599 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Cut Enigma. I can't stand that song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandauralife 688 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I just need PD, 1000 Doves, and FT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafBug 7,420 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 BR, PF, JD, Telephone and Lovegame did not fit the show AT ALL. I can also understand why FT and PD were cut ( I love both songs deeply), but 1000 Doves and SFA would have fit the whole theme just fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madame Goo Goo 3,690 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I would leave off Telephone and LoveGame for sure. I would much rather have Sine From Above and 1000 Doves instead. Lady Gaga doesn't owe us anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 95,074 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I am waiting for good footage to settle my opinions but like? I obviously would put Sine From Above somewhere? If someone told me that Gaga went mad and decided to perform just one song from Chromatica for some weird reason, my bet would be Sine From Above. It was the only essential song for me. I don't get what was Gaga's thought process. If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasagna 2,505 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 1. cut all the piano ballads . i know theyre some of the best parts of her shows but the whole aesthetic of the cb is so imposing that having piano ballads really feels out of place i think. 2. replace the shallow - edge of glory segment with aura, heavy metal lover, and electric chapel. that would go so hard and fit in so well with the show 3. cut hmh and have the last three songs be marry the night, rain on me, and stupid love Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Edge Of Glory 721 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Bad Romance Just Dance Poker Face Act 1 Alice Replay Alejandro Act 2 911 Sour Candy Telephone LoveGame Act 3 Babylon Free Woman Born This Way Act 4 Million Reasons Always Remember Us This Way Hold My Hand Applause Act 5 Stupid Love Rain On Me Shallow I probably will be more happy if she add Applause, Alejandro & Million Reasons. Paparazzi & TEOG will be good on the piano set too. Shallow is better as the final song. Monster & Enigma don't fit well for the GP. I'm on the edge with you 🎶🎷 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
