Iconic. She is not dealing with aging well, sometimes you forget how important and iconic her career is. True star.

That's nuts. It's also about 1599000 more people than I'd ever feel comfortable being around.

I think it was Dave Grohl I remember talking about Brazilian crowds and how there's so many that it creates a big fog overhead and that because it takes so long for the sound to travel it just constantly looks like a wave because of the people moving to the beat at different times.

I feel like my brain can't even comprehend that many people in the same place at the same concert

How do they see the stage? Are there several screens set up in a vast area? What are the logistics like what that many people in the same place? Transport? Toilets? Food? 🤯

there were sets of giant screens every 300 feet from the stage or so. It's not nearly an ideal situation for concert watching but I bet it was nice just for the fun gay vibes LMAO

[frodo]

Yeah, I'm sure the vibes were great!

Public transportantion worked pretty well for the show, mainly people use that subway for it.
