I had the opportunity to see amazing queen, Lady Gaga, in concert in Omaha, Nebraska a couple weeks ago. Before this concert, I had never been to a pop concert before. We had seats in the 200 section, close to the main stage.
The first thing I noticed was that she had multiple stages throughout the general admission section. She had two circle stages and another stage that was covered in the back. We couldn't tell at the time how she'd get from stage to stage.
After we got in our seats, we ended up having to wait an hour and a half past the scheduled start time for the show to actually start. During this wait there were no updates, so I still don't know what caused the delay. I'm glad I waited because it was definitely worth it.
Lady Gaga started the set with "Diamond Heart," off of her new album "Joanne." She had a wardrobe change every five songs, during which her band would play and a video would play on the main screen. During the concert, bridges were lowered from the ceiling that allowed her to walk from stage to stage. Throughout the show, Gaga displayed her talents not only with singing and dancing, but also with playing keytar, electric and acoustic guitar, and a grand piano that had light up strings.
Before every few songs, she would take the time to talk to the audience, telling us the story behind the song, which was usually very personal. It was cool that she was so genuine with her fans and opened up about her album.
She played all of the hits, including "Poker Face," "Bad Romance," and "Just Dance." I was a little disappointed she only played a part of "You and I," since Nebraska is mentioned in the song, and that's probably the biggest thing to happen for my home state in my lifetime. She ended on "Million Reasons," which was beautiful and emotional.
Overall, I give Lady Gaga's performance a 10/10, even with her being late. Her voice never ceases to amaze me; she honestly sounded better than on the records. She brings an amazing energy and presence to the stage, and I would recommend her show to anyone.
