Which Gagachella weekend should I watch?

[Versace 8,044]

Sorry if this is AP or already heavily discussed. 

But hear me out. I am yet to watch weekend 1 because I missed the livestream but then managed to download it. 

Tried my best to avoid spoilers on the internet including threads on here, hence sorry if AP or being discussed. 

So without spoiling do you recommend I watch weekend 1 or weekend 2 first?

Which was better (without spoiling) and were there any differences songs/stage wise?

Weekend 1, because the show went as she intended it to go. There were mic issues at the beginning of weekend 2.

I recommend that after Gaga is joined by a special guest, you could watch weekend 2 because I think the performances were a bit sharper in some aspects 

Sorry if I spoiled one song before editing this post. There were no differences in stage or set-list

Watch week 1 first as it's the definitive version of the show. Not much different between both shows but week 1 was executed cleanly.

Weekend one is flawless

- Apart from a few problems with the sound mixing and production, if you don't have a trained ear, there shouldn't be any problem
- For me, Camera angles are better and is much more "cinematic"
- Also, almost no malfunctions



Weekend two is more raw and energetic

- Infamous mic malfunction
- Frustrated Ga, but also a more energetic Ga
- Crowd's more lively
- Some camera angles are questionable, but some are better than the first

Definitely weekend 1, at least for Act I that must be watched the way it was intended. It also had Gesaffelstein, which is a plus. Weekend 2 had its own qualities, but that should be a no brainer here.

Both shows had ups and downs, but I do prefer week 1! Here my pros and cons of both weeks.

Week 1:

+ Better camera work

+ Feels more cinematic 

+ Vocals are mixed better

+ Felt more cohesive

+ No technical difficulties 

- Vocals too quiet at times

- Sound quality felt a bit off and muffled at times

Week 2:

+ Better overall Sound quality

+ Gaga was more relaxed and energetic (apart from ACT I of course, the mic problems pissed her off...)

- Questionable camera work and angles 

- Technical difficulties (Microphone cut out at the beginning of Abracadabra)

- Vocals were drowned out by the backing track most of the time

- Felt less cinematic and less cohesive

Just my personal opinion!

Week 1 was by far superior. Unfortunately for week 2 I only enjoyed 2-3  performances more than week 1 .

Without the mic problems (not only the headset malfunctioning but also her voice sounded very low compared to backing track during a lot of songs, and it's a shame bc it started even better than last week) and a better camera work I'd choose Week 2 because her vocals were slightly better in some songs and she looked more energetic, but I have to go with Week 1 because there weren't any problems.

Fortunately they can mix the best parts of every show (and adjust her mic feed) for the pro recording

Week 1 first, and then week 2 second. 

Btw, the elevation in the instrumental in week 2 was very impressive, I thought I was there. But week 1 won overall.
