Rusty Popster This Way 658 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 My thoughts: Overall the set list was ideal. 9 songs from Chromatica is epic, her first real ALBUM tour for a while. Then two big songs each from TF, TFM, BTW and ASIB, and then a fan favourite deep cut track she hasn't done for years that fits the theme and her new song that makes sense to use since the movie smashed and it can get awards buzz. 20 songs in total is a little short for a stadium gig, I could have seen a middle section after the Act II part where she could have done something like SFA + ARTPOP + another track in a mellow/mid-temp section to give her a chance to catch her breath a bit without intense choreo (maybe keytar or another piano). Staging works well, but in classic Gaga fashion, it photographs terribly for the most part. BTWB was the worst for this. I have no doubt in person it is incredible, but the poor quality videos don't do it justice. Fire effects seem frequent and pretty cool. A singe, solid wig similar to JWT which works much better than changing them like during artRAVE. Outfits were all amazing, though I hated the gold suit for Bablyon until she took the jacket off. Interludes were pretty cool too, very TMB-esque. Vocals were excellent, as was her energy. The clear hiccup with this was SL-ROM. She went HARD on SL which really worked amazingly, but there needs to be a longer transition where she's lying down and they tease RoM while she gets her breathing under control. She was totally out of breath for all of ROM. HMH is fine as an encore, but like MR during Joanne, it'll take a couple of shows for her to get used to it. Far fewer speeches than normal. At first I was really happy about that, but i almost feel she came across a but nervous or awkward when she finally did speak to the crowd. Luckily what she said came across really well. The two best moments were Monster and ARUTW, though Stupid Love slapped too! Can't wait for my London shows. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnieDarko A Popster Is Born 18,362 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) She was sooo happy. It was obvious. And I couldn’t be more happy about it. The show was amazing. @Rusty gave ya’ll a great in depth post, I’m not good at those so I will jjst say this show is fcuking epic. The visuals were top notch, her singing easily the best out of all her tours, energy unmatached and Chromatica, like No other of her albums, comes alive when being performed. Oh, and I’ve spent 480€ on merch. I’m so over. Edited July 17, 2022 by DonnieDarko 5 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConnorFilm Popster to Popster 4,481 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I think some people are disappointed because Chromatica has had so many different concepts. An alien planet with tribes (SL), a dystopian future (ROM), a concept of it all being in her head (911), dancing through pain and hardship via dance (the tour). I wonder if the concept would have been more easily defined if COVID had not happened. The fanzine insert in the vinyl last year showed how far along they went with the planet concept by naming bays and geographic areas of a landmass. The idea of this album has never been clearly defined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool The Popster 34 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I'm really happy with it overall. I was not expecting it to be a dark aesthetic , but it really worked I think. I'm so excited to see it next month Hopefully professional photos and high quality YouTube videos pop up soon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Candy The Popster 241 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Just thinking about monster last night got to hear ARUTW, Sour Candy, Replay, Free Woman, Alice live for the first time , Gaga should add another song in the encore, this tour looks amazing 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaSine The Fame Popster 319 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 A bit of a disappointing set list, but everything else is incredible, insanely in love with the aesthetics sooo much, though some do feel a bit recycled. Masterpiece otherwise. She sounds great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fanzine insert in the vinyl last year showed how far along they went with the planet concept by naming bays and geographic areas of a landmass. The idea of this album has never been clearly defined. I feel like Gaga has clearly woven all of these concepts together to illustrate her inner mental health journey via highly-theatrical externalized wonderland-esque environments. Plus, these concepts are all pretty transferable. Is the alien planet SL or ROM? Is the dystopian future ROM or TCB? What if everything was in her head? LOL imagine if in 2009 fans were like "uhhhh, Gaga, you're not being very consistent. Are you a hooker, rosary-eating priestess or a bisexual boyfriend killer?"
