bereft of speech

It was amazing. Like, I knew it was going to be, but I was still blown away. No words can describe really.

Basically, the experience was majorly enhanced by the fact I managed to blag my way into the “golden circle” when I was meant to be just standing. Big thanks to Ellis et al. And actually the niceness of the event people. Just confirms the fact that the further north you go, the nicer people are ;).

Thought more people would be dressed crazy tbh. Took pictures of ones who were though..

There were actually two of these guys. This is a shitty sneaky picture though.

The woman on the left actually thought I was insane for wanting to take a picture of them.

“IS THAT A THONG?!”

LOVE what these two were wearing. And their lightning bolts were made out of lace :).

Picture says it all really.

Merchandiseee, thought I really should add a Lady Gaga tee to my collection, even if they were £20.

Really wanted this “I’m A Free Bitch” one, but it was only in a large :/.

But got dis goy.

Cheeky golden circle.

Woah.

THE OPENING SEQUENCE. She had little bits like this throughout the show, during the “intervals” where she got changed/changed the stage.

She sang most of the first song – “Dance in the Dark”, behind this screen, just standing in one pose for ages then suddenly moving. Much suspense. She then lost the shoulders as you can see on the bottom (this image is from those like, screens which do close-ups, so quality isn’t as good, sorry).

Outfitsss..

As you can probably guess, this was “Lovegame”, with the old disco stick. It actually had a torch in the end and during one of the parts where she talked to the audience (amazing) she shone it around at people. There were many screams on my part when it came in our direction.

Fierce dance moves in a studded leather bikini and knee high boots, to “Speechless” on piano in a studded leather bikini and knee high boots. She actually dedicated “Speechless” to “her favourite fan – Emily” and got everyone to sing along. Which was nice, but also jealous-making.

Then there was a more like, theatrical bit, where she was talking to the audience and her entourage of dancers and they were looking for “The Monster Ball”. This happened quite a bit throughout, so it was more like a production than just a show, v cool. Anyway, this huge lampshade came down and hid them while she was transformed into, er, the image on the bottom. The dress was like moving and swaying like some sort of sea creature.

After another interval, she came out in this mad hairy suit, which then was transformed into just a body for “Teeth”.

Leopard print catsuit for “Poker Face” and one of her classic, erm, oversized, crystallized designs, and a GIANT angler fish for “Paparazzi”.

Final song was “Bad Romance”, really good ending, in one of those classic metal guys that both her and Beyoncé love.

Final bows, lots of teeth-baring.

As you can probably tell, these aren’t all my pictures from the night, or all the songs she played, so if you want to look at the whole set of pictures you can see them here and here – there were too many photos for just one facebook album, ha.

Final picture, bit bad quality but I was trying to capture the immense amount of people walking to the train station from the arena. And I left like STRAIGHT after she finished..

Basically, all I can say is absolute love. X
