Lady Gaga - Born This Way + iTunes Festival (Sync tonight 7.40!)

[ZenGiraffe]

I remember watching this concert live, and instantly becoming obsessed with Aura. It is such a good opener!

 

[Tisch]

Weird to think noone had heard this yet! I think it was still called Burqa at this point?

 

[COB]

Remember when all the little monsters were posting pics of themselves wearing burqas on Twitter

 

[ZenGiraffe]

DANCE

SEX



ART


POP

 

[Beverley]

FFS Aura is SO GOOD. I'm gonna say this: nearly ALL the Swinefest versions are BETTER than what she put on the album. She tinkered WAY too much with Artpop

 

[COB]

It goes SO FUCKING HARD

 

[Beverley]

I think there's one of me in the old Moopy Album with blonde hair and a lovely red niqab.

 

[GNL]

The best Aura perf was that one where she was in a padded white mask/bodysuit (at the Louvre?). Truly iconic.

HA HA HA HA HA HA

But that was good too.

Definitely. Sexxx dreams especially, but we will come to that.

 

[OutSynk]

Omg this was over an hour long?

YES! Is that where she demo'd the flying dress too?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

20 minutes if you take out the dressing up though

 

[Tisch]

Is this what I think it is? This is pre-Artpop and there are a few songs that she dropped from the tracklist last minute on here?

 

[Beverley]

I think this was the period I wanted my septum pierced

 

[Tisch]

She looks like she did on Punk'd

 

[Beverley]

decided my schnoz was too massive (and then all the basics started taking it up)

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Is this what I think it is? This is pre-Artpop and there are a few songs that she dropped from the tracklist last minute on here?

This was her revealing Artpop basically, about two weeks before she officially finished the album.

 

[COB]

MANiCURE is such a ridiculous moment in her career

 

[GNL]

YES! Is that where she demo'd the flying dress too?

I think so! ARTPOP was such a batshit era

 

[Jark]

the staging and outfits for this show were so fucking good. very back to basics. all the focus on her sheer magnetism as a performer.

love that she's rocking her ENGLISH ACCENT for the occasion.

 

[OutSynk]

Is this what I think it is? This is pre-Artpop and there are a few songs that she dropped from the tracklist last minute on here?

No, she dropped a few hooks.

 

[Beverley]

MANiCURE is such a ridiculous moment in her career

I DETEST it

 

[Tisch]

This was her revealing Artpop basically, about two weeks before she officially finished the album.

And there's one or two that she dropped from the tracklist right? I think Dope was a last minute swap from something. Right? RIGHT?

 

[Beverley]

love how the basics scream for every inane thing that comes out of her mouth

 

[COB]

And there's one or two that she dropped from the tracklist right? I think Dope was a last minute swap from something. Right? RIGHT?

Dope is here but the lyrics are quite different, I think?

 

[Jark]

MANiCURE is infinitely more exciting in live form. like it pops the fuck off.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

And there's one or two that she dropped from the tracklist right? I think Dope was a last minute swap from something. Right? RIGHT?

My memory is hazy, but I thought she just rewrite the lyrics to Dope, rather than it being an entirely different song

 

[Beverley]

def this version of manicure is more palatable

 

[OutSynk]

I DETEST it

PUT! SOME! LIPSTICK ON!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Dope is here but the lyrics are quite different, I think?

I wanna be with you was its original name I think

 

[COB]

WIG

 

[Tisch]

Just so I don't get accused of stealing this point, I have been speaking to @Iguana and he agrees.

This version of MANiCURE ROCKS. The production on ARTPOP sucks out the rockiness and makes it sound like a Geru song.

 

[Beverley]

it's just a pop-rock song, but the album version makes it too frenetic and verges on tuneless

 

[Tisch]

Dope is here but the lyrics are quite different, I think?

My memory is hazy, but I thought she just rewrite the lyrics to Dope, rather than it being an entirely different song

This rings a bell.

We shall see.

 

[COB]

I remember liking it more than what we ended up getting - Dope is one of VERY few skip moments on ARTPOP for me.

 

[Beverley]

WIG

sis, just wait for the Sexxx Dreams middle 8 - thats when my wig TRULY pops off

 

[ZenGiraffe]

The loading music between each of the songs is lovely, I must say

 

[COB]

Nothing beats the Monster Ball interval tracks, but these are nice and spacey.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I wonder if Toad is in the audience for this one

 

[Jark]

Artpopica II is dreamy!
