I think all of us need to be vocal to Gaga (in a respectful way of course) that we want to hear specific songs over others. She removed Fashion from the Artrave because apparently fans weren't feeling it at all. Let her know on Twitter (again, respectfully), and who knows, she might just change it up. It wouldn't be the first time!

I think the setlist is... fine. I'm absolutely done with hearing LoveGame and Telephone at shows, especially when SFA and Plastic Doll, or even 1000 Doves could be in there. As much as I love Monster, I wish she replaced that with an ARTPOP song that she hasn't done in awhile.

I think it's honestly time, because it's seems like if we don't address it, it will stay like this forever.. and knows, it might work? Maybe trend #Justice4ARTPOPTBC and #Justice4ChromaticaTBC :stalkga:

Songs that i believe could fit the current "Telephone/Lovegame" slot 

- Applause, Paparazzi, Alejandro, Plastic Doll, DWYW, and Dancin in Circles

Oh yeah, that would be lit :giveup:

Paparazzi definitely belonged. Telephone had no place being there. Shallow didn’t either - it was played to hell and back during The Enigma residency. ARUTW was nice to connect with the audience, though. 

All chromatica songs should have been sung. I really wanted to hear 1000 Doves, sine and plastic doll. 

aura could have worked or applause. And I really think perfect illusion would have fit well in the finale. 

Totally! I think that besides the missing Chromatica songs, she could've added other songs like Bloody Mary, Marry The Night and let's not mention the ones from ARTPOP (another dance record about pain)

I'm praying that they won't touch enigma and it will stay on the setlist during the whole tour and I also wonder If they know about our thoughts about the setlist.. I can definitely see that most fans are asking for more chromatica, which at the end should show gaga how much we love this album and hopefully address it 

I don't get why some are justifying that the setlist's this way because she has many songs to choose from, when they're literally choosing the same songs all over again..

I actually love the setlist, but I’m also not attending the tour so I’m looking at it less from a “oh no I won’t hear my favorite song” perspective and more just as a viewer watching a piece of art she’s created. ARTPOP and Joanne are my favorite albums so of course I’d love to see them represented but this setlist seems to flow really well and these songs seem to tell the story she wants to tell. Plus I love the addition of Monster and Always Remember Us This Way, I’m jealous I can’t go to see them live. I actually love the opening and closing songs, Bad Romance is a big shock for the opener since I don’t think she’s ever started a show with it, and then watching her performing HMH in the flames is absolutely iconic and a wonderful way to end the show.

She could remove Just Dance, Love Game, Telephone and TEOG and perform Fun Tonight, Plastic Doll, Sine From Above and 1000 Doves Piano instead

I don’t think Gaga could ever get away with not singing Just Dance, that’s the song that introduced her to the world and longtime fans who have never had a chance to see her live would be mad not to hear it, it wouldn’t feel like a Gaga concert without Just Dance in my opinion.

I think there's bound to be upset whenever she introduces a new setlist for her tours. People have their favorites, whether it's the classics, the singles, the deep cuts, the current album she's touring, etc), and peoples favorites are bound to get cut or not make it. Paparazzi is my favorite from The Fame, but, it's been on every tour so I understand why it was eliminated. I think we are going to see that as her legacy goes on and it's ok! The door is always open for them to come back :)

I’m happy with it! I get super hyped and raise my own expectations but subconsciously I always know the truth, that with hits, the current album, it’s so rare that exactly your favorite tracks will be included.

It’s only sad knowing we’ll probably never see Plastic Doll, Fun Tonight, 1000 Doves, or Sine From Above live

The only things I don't like about setlist is

1) Old hits being performed the same old way (1st Act had such a theatric backdrop, I wish songs were re-worked with Industrial Techno vibes with that Berghain-esque brutalist backdrop for instance)
2) Hold My Hand being the closer

On the positive side, Chromatica songs slap hard live both musically and visually. Alice, 911, Replay, Babylon, Enigma, Sour Candy, Free Woman were all such highlights.

I really love how she started the show with Bad Romance + Just Dance + Poker Face, it fits the concept of the show so well and I'm glad she did it like this. I always thought starting with Alice was too obvious, so I'm glad she didn't do it

The setlist is perfect. The brutalist monolithic staging, and opening with BR, JD & PF while trapped in a statue? and rotating, not dancing, well, the allegory just hit me that she was artistically sharing her entrapment with these songs.

I also see it as how people see and treat her as an idol detached from reality, not a real person. (see the dancers in Just Dance crawling up, trying so hard to reach her)

She begins the show as an statuesque star that is entrapped by her own fame, it's solitaire for her, but is so grand and breathtaking for we as an audience! It's almost like a religious experience, in a dystopian kind of way...

I really love this first act of the show

MTN instead of TEOG would have fit more of the theme of Act 4. So it will be BTW piano - MTN - Enigma. Also, Babylon was too early, it should have been the the finale act.

JWT = 9 Joanne cuts 

TCB = 9 Chromatica cuts 

Only thing I would change is maybe remove "telephone" for "Applause" 

She genuinely enjoys playing "lovegame" so I defs don't see that one going lol.

Facts. I can’t understand why so many want LoveGame out instead of Telephone. I was there last night and Telephone was so forgettable & short while LoveGame was one of my highlights. Plus you can indeed see that she really enjoys performing it. 
 

Totally agree with Applause, it would fit so great in the finale act, either after ROM or before Stupid Love.

I think she has reached a point, where it’s time to let go of some singles other than Poker Face, Bad Romance & Born This Way. 

It’s weird how she comes up with this dark ass set and theme and then chooses extremely pointless songs like Just Dance, Telephone, LoveGame and what not over the actually dark songs she has in her catalogue. No one can tell me, that Monster, Alejandro (which she thankfully removed), LoveGame, Just Dance and Telephone matched the show more than Dance in the Dark, Marry the Night, Heavy Metal Lover & Scheiße. I’m not a huge fan of ARTPOP and Joanne but at least one representative song from those albums wasn’t too much to ask.

I was hesitant with Bad Romance opening, but in the live (I wasn't there lol) I feel like it would be amazing. I also wished she added more tracks from the album, maybe Plastic Doll before Replay. And with Hold My Hand as an encore, at first when I heard rumors it felt weird to have a song not on the album as the encore, but again, while watching the live performance, it felt right, it was like a Gaga - fan moment, and such a rock stadium song!

I'll give the setlist 8/10 for me, wished it had more Chromatica tracks and more deep cuts (I think ARTPOP and Aura fit best), but you really need to experience it live first.

Alejandro got cut tho based on the sound rehearsals she did before the show.

BR gave such energy boost to the whole stadium. Since the first 'ooooo' the stadium was WILD up until the end.

Yes, for the most part. I think it’s odd that Sine From Above wasn’t included, as it feels like one of the main songs on the album. I thought it would be a good encore.

I’d also swap out Telephone for Applause. I would like to see some Joanne representation, but I don’t think it really fits well anywhere. 

Other than that, I thought it was great.
