You're always such a life saver in these exclusive moments. The level of note taking is God-like and we're so lucky to have you. Thank you so much for everything you do 💜 I'm so happy you got to go and have a good time. 

Thank you, I'm really very greatful,  I knew If I was lucky enough to walk in that door I needed to make it worth while for all those who couldn't be there

No. I was hoping for the Spark Notes version.

It is not the same show. 

[pachinko 10,598]

So what was the point of this show? Is she trying to get a grammy/emmy, etc.? 
 

for example, the Harlequin live release was clearly for Grammys Traditional Pop win.

My guess is that she wants to have it released after the tour ends as a goodbye to the era before going on a long hiatus

I mean, she recorded Harlequin a year prior to the Grammy campaign and initially intended to release it, primarily, as a gift to the fans. That plan only changed when JFAD flopped and she sat on it to wait out the shitstorm surrounding JFAD and then took advantage of the Grammy nom + holiday to release the film when she did. Here, the intention is probably just a gift for the fans, for posterity, and maybe as a sign of things to come musically.

So sorry if this has been asked/answered. I’ve had a long day too, but do you think she essentially performed a potential remix album? 
Thank you so much!!!

Quite interesting that she played the entirety of Mayhem (standard), and even respected the track list order.

I’m excited to hear the reworked versions. Hopefully this doesn’t come out in a year…

This is amazing! I'm so glad you got to experience it @ChicaSkas because you KNOW how to enjoy these shows and the level of detail you put into the description. I didn't read the entire thing because I want to keep some stuff for the stream but the first couple of songs and all of that sound like it was such an amazing experience.

I love that she's doing it for this album in particular. She loves it so much she wants to keep performing and showing her art and these reworked versions need to be out some day.

Johnny is no longer Gaga's bass player, Eric Ingram has been touring with her, so I assume it's him?

Thank you so much for sharing all this! I started reading and I had to Stop myself because this was so good and distriptive that I don't want to spoil the show. 

 

Thanks for this, I felt bad that was the only way I could identify him from so far away

Girl, long hiatus? She said she wouldn’t rule out LG8 this year.
