27monster27 12,408 Posted May 4, 2024 Share Posted May 4, 2024 (edited) Ten years ago today on May 4th, 2014, Lady Gaga kicked off her ArtRave concert tour in Sunrise, Florida (a suburb of Fort Lauderdale). Opened by Lady Starlight, the concert was a major success despite being part of an era that was viewed negatively by some. In contrast to the rumors, every date of the tour (except for the Marcus Amphitheatre in Milwaukee and possibly another) was entirely sold out. The show was rave inspired with many flashing lights, lasers, and bright colors. As Lady Gaga herself mentioned in 2022, this tour was the first of three (ArtRave, Joanne World Tour, and Enigma) in which she dropped the "Mother Monster Aesthetic" in favor of a different look. FUN FACT: Lady Gaga sang a full (and actually extended) version of Paparazzi in the original key at the opening date: Edited May 5, 2024 by 27monster27 he/him/his 4 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimecia 6,026 Posted May 5, 2024 Share Posted May 5, 2024 Best setlist, best pacing, best lighting, best stage layout. Take me back! Time. It will not wait, no matter how hard you hold on... 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
himerosxo 284 Posted May 5, 2024 Share Posted May 5, 2024 Oh, man. What a party this was! Probably the best GA floor setup she’s had to date! Running around under the transparency of the stage was a MOMENT. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVeryGagaHolyDick 23,397 Posted May 5, 2024 Share Posted May 5, 2024 It’s “artRAVE” not “ArtRave” “ArtRave” is the album’s release party 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVeryGagaHolyDick 23,397 Posted May 5, 2024 Share Posted May 5, 2024 Unpopular opinion but the artRAVE / Cheek To Cheek era was the most exciting time to be a fan, for the art but also for her image, that’s when we had a great resurgence to witness 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auralegends 5,684 Posted May 5, 2024 Share Posted May 5, 2024 Still s1d to not be able to see this live. Unpopular opinion: she used too much playback/backing vocals during this tour. JWT onwards is mjch more clear live singing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupidLuv 60 Posted May 5, 2024 Share Posted May 5, 2024 The joy this brought me! My first Gaga concert with my mom and friends! You can actually catch a glimpse of us in OPs video. We camped out for 15+ hours in the hot sun and made front row and made sooo many friends! Sadly, a few of them no longer with us but they left such an impact on my young gay life at the time! The atmosphere while waiting for the doors to open was amazing! They had a marathon going on at the same time so we had access to water/snacks to keep us hydrated. I remember a helicopter landing at the venue and me thinking “is this Gaga?” How cxnty! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimotheeChalamet 5,446 Posted May 5, 2024 Share Posted May 5, 2024 Too many shortened songs, ugly costumes and the backtrack was so loud but it was fun indeed. My first time seeing her live and the lighting was incredible 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
