Show!
The Lady Gaga show was pretty fucking super.
I was a little worried that the opening band had killed my soul, but it managed to revive itself at the last minute. Good god that band was bad. Like, Spinal Tap bad, but not funny and not as talented. We deduced that it was a pity fuck, to thank them for letting her open for them at some bar venue way back when. Nice gesture, but Christ, what a thing to inflict on your fans.
There's no way I can describe the show except to say it was a beautiful spectacle. There were a few timing issues and odd pauses, but I think this version of the tour is fairly new. And really, so is she. For this being the second leg of her first world tour, the production was phenomenal.

normalcyispasse: the Paparazzi piece certainly was an eyeful! Very well choreographed, although I'm not sure how well it worked as a performance piece. I think it would've been better with more struggle. You know what I mean?
I loved the part where she admitted to "abusing this part of the show" and requested that the audience tell her they loved her and thought she was sexy. That was funny and awesome and confirmed her dork sense of humor.
On the way home, we estimated a dozen costume changes and I remember at least five major set configs. Impressive. Also, the Sprint Center is a surprisingly good venue. The sound was fucking amazing. When I remember the old days of stadium/arena rock shows and how you never could really the lyrics of the songs unless you already knew them, and then afterword you couldn't hear anything...man. Sound technology has come a long way.
Fabulous show!
