Well she was absolutely ****ing fantastic! What a show , this was my first time seeing her and she blew me away. What a singer and performer , not that I didn't know it but to see it for real was another level. She is so beautiful and healthy looking and she was so close at some points.

Roll on November 16th :gaga:

In all my years of gig going I can honestly say that was the best show I've ever been to, nothing beats a Scottish show!

The show was flawless. I was so relaxed in the audience too, great vibe.

 

The whole thing was just everything I could have wanted.  :haha:

On reflection, last night was cracking. Sitting up in the gods of The Hydro, I'd kinda resigned myself to the fact that I'd be sitting the whole night. It was in fact the total opposite.

Before I properly review last night, can I just ask what the **** is Breedlove? It was the campest performance I've ever seen and I saw Scissor Sisters live six times. My favourite part was when he sang a song called 'Heart Attack' and then pretended to have a heart attack at the end, complete with mic falling to the floor.

I was actually looking forward to Lady Starlight in a 'let's laugh at how bad you are' kinda way. At The Born This Way Ball, all I remember is this theatrical performance art **** where she wore masks and trotted about the place with a (metaphorical) stick up her arse. But last night was just terrible. There's a reason that drops exist in dance music. Somebody needs to teach her that too.

After a 30min delay (Latey Gaga), she arrived on stage to a somewhat muted response. ARTPOP is just not the song to open a show called 'artRAVE'. I didn't see a single arse move from their seats. I love the song but it fell completely flat last night. However, as soon as the opening notes of G.U.Y. rang out and she commanded everyone to get out their seats, the rave began and Gaga had the crowd in the palm of her hand. Donatella was a joy, Venus was a pop explosion and MANiCURE was fun. The 'hits' medley was better than I was expecting after stuff I'd read on here (she does 75% of Just Dance, about half of Poker Face and a chorus of Telephone) and it proper got the crowd going. Even during the piano section (when I was expecting the seated blocks to go to the bar or die of boredom), the entire place remained on their feet. In fact, I reckon You & I got the best reaction of the night. Surprisingly, Paparazzi received the worst reception of the night. I didn't like the butchering of Sexxx Dreams either. But I seriously could not fault the show in any other way. The 1-2 punch of Bad Romance and Applause tore the roof off the arena while Swine provided a proper rave moment up in the tiers with folk climbing on seats, ripping their shirts off, lassoing them around their heads and jumping like lunatics (ok, that was just me). Gypsy was the perfect song to end on. As she walked to the piano, the young girl next to me (who had been moaning all night about the lack of 'hits') groaned and went "not another piano song, why isn't she doing Edge of Glory?". By the time the final chorus of Gypsy hit, she was dancing like she hadn't done all night. Singing and dancing along to one of the best songs in her discography was the perfect way to end an evening with Gaga.

The casual fans might not have been too happy but they followed Gaga's orders. They grabbed a drink and had a good night regardless of what songs they knew. There were no overlong speeches or time wasted opening gifts from fans. For the first time, I left a Gaga show with nothing but music at the forefront of my mind. There was no message, there was no 'Mother Monster' mantra and there wasn't a dull moment. It was simply an evening of perfect pop music. Her best tour yet.

finally just getting a chance to come on here and say how amazing the show was, i camped out since 9:30am in the pouring rain and took a sleeping bag, massive winter jacket and a blanket all to keep me warm throughout the day. ended up being 4th row from the front of the main stage, it was such an amazing spot. even when she was on the other walkway doing "Venus" she still didn't seem really far away. the stage was just genius based on the fact that everyone in standing would see her up close at least once. the standing section i was in had such a great atmosphere and such a massive mix of people (young and old). i loved the part where she was speaking in between Venus and MANiCURE where the whole crowd began chanting "here we, here we, here we ****ing go!" and she joined in with us all. it was just such an amazing night and it flew in so quickly even though it was 1hr 50min long. i cant wait to head to london this weekend and see her again.

This b---h is making me poor! I'm meant to be saving up but instead I bought two standing tickets for November. I saw her on Sunday but it was seated, so I'm wanting a different experience.

Oh you'll surely get it. Stand near the bridge. The bridge I tells ye.

 

I'm still recovering. I wanted ferocious Gaga I wanted Seashell bikini Gaga. She delivered and as a bonus I got cutesy Japanese doll stylee Gaga. 

 

She was right there in front of me. Right there.
