Lady Gaga and Scissor Sisters!!!!! Epic fangirly recap.
Holy shit. I don't even know how to put down into words how awesome the show was, but I will try.
Harmony, Neil, and I got to the arena just in time before the massive amounts of people flooded in. There were tons of people wearing Gaga costumes and others that were just decked out in fabulousness. We had general admission floor tickets so we had to be tactful on our mission to get to the front of the stage. Harmony was very helpful in that aspect because she was the one who led the way. We scooted our way around the outside of everyone and just sneakily waited for the drunk people in the front to move. Some how we ended up at the right side of the stage next to the fence.
Once the Scissor Sisters came on stage I knew the rest of the night was going to be a fucking great time. They had such bouncy energy during their set even though it was only a half hour long. They managed to play every song of theirs that I wanted to hear. "Any Which Way" was the first song. "Take Your Mama", "I Don't Feel Like Dancing", and the best song ever "Filthy and Gorgeous". They had such fun dances to go along with every song. Neil and I completely lost it when "Filthy and Gorgeous" started. Jake (one of the singers) stripped out of his shiny leather jump suit down to his shiny leather thong. He has a giant package haha. And Ana's diva monologue was hilariously awesome.
It took about a half hour for the stage to be set for Gaga. When the show started the entire floor shook from the bass. I felt all of my insides vibrating. Everyone around us feeling the same way. She started with "Dance in the Dark" standing on scaffolding that resembled something from "Rent". Her dancers hanging all around her. One of my favorite parts of the show was when she was singing "Just Dance" and everything turning into the most jumpy awesome hot mess on the floor. Everyone's hands flying in the air accented by flashing lights. Me headbanging and flailing around like a crazy.
There was a storyline that when along with the show. Gaga and her friends wanted to take us to the Monster Ball but her car broke down. There was a smoking car on stage and she lifted the hood up and IT TURNED INTO A FUCKING KEYBOARD.
I need to mention the band before I get too carried away because they added so much to the show. Her harp player had her harp strapped to her body so she could run all over the stage. The violin player had the same type of deal going on. And then there was the lead guitarist Jesus. Yes Jesus. A long curly haired ripped sex on a stick of a man that played the most gorgeous glittery guitars. He would stand by us a lot so I had ample time to dance and sing at him while Gaga was elsewhere on the stage. He was so nice! He flicked a couple guitar picks at us but they didn't make it over the fence so we couldn't get one. :(
The show went on with several set changes and every single one of them was so detailed. There was a set that was in the woods where all the monsters came out. The dancers were also fucking amazing.
Ok ok here comes the best part ever:
There was this girl that was right next to us on the fence who had a hand made t-shirt that she wanted Gaga to sign. You could tell she really wanted it because she made little signs that asked Gaga to sign it and held the shirt up during songs. During "Alejandro" Gaga took notice and just strutted right the fuck up to us and signed the shirt.
Here are some pictures from my phone that I took in the most deliriously awesome moment of my life.
Strut strut strut.
Singing and leaning down to get the shirt. Everyone was pressing in on us to get closer so this is so blurry but I don't care!
Taking a good look at the little monster's handy work!
Dat ass.
I found a clip on youtube of this happening so here it is (it happens toward the end of the clip)
I was so happy for the girl I jumped over and hugged her. She was crying hysterically, understandably. She was so sweet and everyone around her was so fucking happy for her. It was such an awesome moment. Even when the crowd was pressing in it wasn't uncomfortable, Harmony stated it best that it just felt like a giant hug.
The rest of the show just got better. She played a new song from "Born This Way" called "You and I" in which she lit her piano on fire and had flames swirling up in the air while she sang. She told us a story about her dad went to college in Michigan and that she thanked us for influencing her dad to raise her the way he did and accept her.
Paparazzi was the shit. The "Fame Monster" came out to attack Gaga and it was this giant puppet that looked like an angler fish with tentacles. The green dress she wore was so pretty she looked like a little princess.
She did two encores. "Bad Romance" and "Born This Way" I was so tired but I had to muster up the energy to dance around like a crazy for a little longer.
So yes that was the show. It was a fucking blast and well worth the money we paid to see her. There are probably some moments that I'm forgetting to talk about but these were the highlights for me. I will most definitely be seeing her again. Holy shit.
