I happened to ride down in the elevator this morning with a young lady who was very interested to learn that I had been to the Lady Gaga concert in Indianapolis Sunday evening. She said that several of her friends had posted about it and said it was amazing. It was. I was not a huge Lady Gaga fan but after seeing this show I certainly understand her appeal. Not only does she have a great voice and a lot of musical talent, she also comes across as a really nice person.
I particularly enjoyed the songs she performed while playing the piano. But if I'm being totally honest, my favorite part of the show was the special effects. Light beams and a wild variedy of patterns projected on huge "clouds" suspended from the rafters, bridges that could be raised and lowered allowing her to walk from one end of the arena floor to the other, stepping from one round stage to another along the way, lots of projections and colored flashing lights all combined to make it a marvelous spectacle. The other interesting spectacle was the wild variety of people in attendance. the pink cowboy hats that many of the women and girls were wearing in honor of her newest CD "Joanne" were great. My friend, the one who had decided we should go to this concert and bought the tickets months ago, asked me if I felt 'out of my element'. Not really. People are people and I enjoy them in all shapes and sizes, and there certainly were all shapes and sizes in attendance. By the way I know I wasn't the oldest person there because the friends I was with are both a few months older than me. All in all it was a fun experience.
