Songs you would rather play studio instumental VS Live band

[Zombiecat 17,767]

All of Gagas music translates perfectly to a live band, if not even better 

but are there any songs you wish would play the studio instrumental during the set? (aka playing the studio drum track and synths/bass instead of being replaced by the live band)

 

for me it would be abracadabra (the lack of sidechain in the live version takes away all the impact of the chorus for me)

and maybe rain on me

ALSO government hooker sounds so good with the guitars but i always wish they'd use the actual synth bass

All of them tbh.

I hate live music in general though lol

Studio versions are almost always superior.

Imo the easiest way to ruin the meticulous hard work of producers is to add a bunch of obnoxious drums & aggravating guitars onto the original instrumental for no reason

I always prefer live versions  

If I wanted to hear the studio version I'd stay home and listen from my phone  

Concerts are a time where the artist gets to present a slightly different vision for their work and create an entirely new project outside of the album they're promoting

I was actually thinking about this the other day and I do think a lot of Gaga's live performances relies too heavily on the band. 

VIY at Coachella didn't have the earworm charms in the studio version, the guitar guy forgot to play an entire part I think (or maybe it was just omitted)? It doesn't make sense to me. I think there needs to be more of the studio track mixed in with the live instrumentals, especially for these heavy pop songs (to your point about Debra which I agree with).

Same. Give me the sick overproduced bass, not some lame ass guitars.

My take

[Killa 18,520]

lol the pianist in the bad romance greetings segment just dabbed a bit of dark horse intro into the improvisation

should we fire them ?

For me personally a LIVE concert requires LIVE instruments.

One of the main reasons I love gaga is the live instrumentation and arrangements, got me hooked right away and inspires me to this day with my own musical projects. So I would not have any studio version play at her show ever without at least the band playing along. 

Also about gaga’s influence on my musicality; my previous band’s ep was filled with dramatic intros, outros and breakdowns, wonder how they got there
