Wow (how many times do I say "Wow" after a FSB concert?), but WOW!!
We were so close again!! Very similar to the position we had for the
P!NK concert.
In front of the subwoofers there was the
security guard and then the barrier that
included a 1" high berm, enough for two people
deep. Hanging on the rail was the first row of
girls and behind them was us! Cindra by the end
of the the concert was one of the girls hanging
on the rail!!!
The
crowd was diverse. From screaming little Gaga
girls, to their parents, the LGBT
community and us! As
the concert started, Caryn asked me who was
pushing her from behind. She turned around and
asked him "Just wondering who was pushing me?"
and the guy said "Don't worry, I'm into men!"
Okay... That's the line I usually use!!!
:))
The concert
opened up with a 5-10 minute video warm up with
Gaga casting a shadow on a several story
screen. From our angle we could look
under the screen and see her perform!! Lady
Gaga was the first artist in history to achieve
1 Billion video download views!! Her first two
CD's Fame and Fame Monster
produced SEVEN #1 HITS
Just Dance
Poker Face
LoveGame
Paparazzi
Bad Romance
Alejandro
Telephone
Plus every other song
on those albums can stand on their own as hits!
She took us through five segments of her
Monster Ball confronting all her monsters along
the way. Each segment included dynamic costume
changes!
    
   
What really sets Gaga apart
from the middling masses of lip-synching
Britney clones and Idol wannabes is her pure,
unadulterated musical talent. This Lady
can sing!
"While The Monster Ball has
nothing on the great operas or the golden age
of musical theatre, Lady Gaga's 'electro-pop
opera' is at least twice as entertaining and
infinitely fresher than any stage musical
written over the last decade."
- Kelly Nestruck The
Guardian
The Monster Ball was an
incredible eye candy performance with great
choreography tied into her fresh music!!
This ranks as one of the top all time
concerts!!!
"Tonight, I don't want
you to leave loving me more," said Lady Gaga.
"I want you to leave loving yourself more."
I <3 new music!
I <3 being different!
I <3 Gaga I am a Little
Monster!!

Not
only is she a hot new artist but she entered
the music scene with a whole new energy!
She has a great story and at 24 years old has
accomplished so much as an
I bought floor tickets (of course) on pre-sale
months ago, which sold out quickly. On the day of the concert I heard
people paying many hundreds more than we paid. I
was also starting to worry when I heard on the news
the night before that her fans, the "Little
Monsters" were camping out the night before.
We arrived at the Tacoma dome about 4 1/2 hours
before the start of the concert and got in line
where everyone was just sitting on the ground.
The sun was out and the time went by fast
watching all the people until the 6:30pm
opening. When Ray and I were out for one
last "Honey Bucket" stop, the line-up crowd
stood up and started the full push to the
front. It took a while to find Cindra and
Caryn, but there they were, very close to the
front! (They made me so proud!
We
then ran quickly to our planned position!
Cindra and Ray appeared soon after with water!
So perfect! 
DJ Lady Starlight had the hard task of
entertaining the crowd before the show.
She brought a bottle of "Jack" with her and
that's when we discovered we were in front of a
5ft X 12ft subwoofer! Besides rearranging our
internal organs, the low frequencies did not
have our ears ringing afterward! JUST
DANCE!
Semi-Precious Weapons opened for Lady
Gaga where 3
years ago Lady Gaga opened for them!
Gaga and Justin have been friends for several
years. I had previously saw SPW
FSB from only a couple feet away
the Market. Justin
Tranter was pedaling
his song titled T-shirt, "I Can't Pay My
Rent But I'm Fucking Gorgeous". I
also wore his USB gun that comes with their CD.
They played a tighter high energy set than when
we saw them before and got the audience "hot
and wet" for Gaga!
