Concert Synopsis
The show started with a video of Gaga floating in water. Then she appeared behind a giant, green, laser lit video screen featuring scrim lights, in a futuristic silver jewelled jumpsuit with bulbs on it, with matching eye makeup and mask, singing the song “Dance in the Dark” from The Fame Monster, while dancers dressed in white balaclavas and white jumpsuits moved around her. The scrim resembled an electric math grid which was lifted during the performance. After the song she strapped on a portable silver jewelled keyboard and started performing “Just Dance” while inside a white cube from which she emerged from the top, and the video screen came up. She was raised on a platform with a keytar over her shoulder as eight dancers in white bodysuits locked into step below her. This was followed by a brief video intermission and Gaga returned with an elaborate off-white costume that resembled an alien ecto-skeleton. She started performing “LoveGame” and then “Boys, Boys, Boys” which ended with Gaga pointing towards her groins. A digital background of flames was featured with the dancers wearing skeletal headgear. As she got out of her ecto-skeleton outfit, she stripped down to a silver bodysuit for another The Fame Monster song, “Alejandro”, which saw her being carried by her crotch by one of her male dancers and lowered onto another male dancer.
The performance of “Monster” began with Gaga emerging in a black feathered jacket and performing dance moves reminiscent of Michael Jackson. The backdrop featured a black bird’s wings. It continued with two songs from The Fame Monster: “So Happy I Could Die” and “Teeth”, where she removed the feathered dress. She then started performing the song “Speechless” and continued at the piano with the acoustic version of “Poker Face”; she played the piano while balancing on her piano stool and holding one leg up in the air. Rapper Kid Cudi joined her then to perform his song “Make Her Say” which contains a sample of “Poker Face”. This segment was followed by the performance of “Fashion” and “The Fame”, during these performances Gaga wore a gold Egyptian styled crown and matching body suit. The dress was compared to the garment of a viking. Gaga crawled atop her piano during the follow-up songs “The Fame” and “Money Honey”. Bondage inspired black leather dress with guns hanging from it and a hat made of muzzles, were worn during “Poker Face” and Gaga pumped her hands in the air while performing the song. This was followed by Gaga sitting on a dentist’s chair and spreading her legs during “Paper Gangsta”. Another video interlude followed displaying arty poses of Gaga in gothic looks.
She returned on the stage while wearing multiple donned braided extensions for “Paparazzi”. Gaga was perched atop a railing and from each of her braids, a dancer was attached on the stage. A backdrop of stars were shown during the performance.
This was followed by “Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) where she wore a giant human sized gyroscope around her, which was developed by the Haus of Gaga and was named “The Orbit”. The last song of the show was “Bad Romance” which she performed in an ’80s-inspired white power suit with exaggerated high shoulders and highwaisted pants. The show ended with a video of Gaga getting a heart-shaped tattoo on her shoulder with the word “Dad” in the center of it.
