Two Nights !
Powerstation, Auckland March 11 (Smaller 1000K fans only venue)
Vector Arena, Auckland March 12
Just before 9pm there was a logjam by the doors to the floor area of Vector Arena.
Everyone was determined not to miss a single chord of the four piece indie-rock band from Boston.
Like the Powerstation the night before the atmosphere was electric with anticipation.
To give you some idea of what the Powerstation was like, over a thousand people - some who had paid up to $1000 for tickets - crammed into the venue.
There was dry ice, the crowd cheered.
Joey Santiago played a note, the crowd cheered.
Kim Deal picked up a bottle of water, the crowd cheered.
Whereas the Powerstation was pared back to just the band, a smoke machine and minimal lighting rig, at Vector it was the full shebang.
Four giant paper lanterns topped a huge backdrop of moving images.
Both gigs began the same way: with Deal announcing "Some B sides" to deafening cheers from the audience as the band launched into Dancing the Manta Ray.
By the time Debaser came on a few songs later, the front of Vector was a gyrating mass.
As the band made their way through Doolittle, Frank Black flexed his impressive vocals managing to sound both raw and refined.
Each track was played to perfection and the crowd loved every second.
It was Deal who introduced most of the songs.
Midway through, she asked the crowd, "Was anybody at the Powerstation last night?"
She was greeted by silence from the audience.
'This is the same show," she added swiftly.
It might have been practically the same set, but it was not the same show.
Yes, the Powerstation had a sense of pared-back intimacy, but at Vector there was a collective feeling of being a part of something massive in every sense of the word.
After just over an hour on stage and a blistering version of Gouge Away, the lights went up and the band came to the front of the stage with massive grins fixed on their faces.
An epic version of Into the White featured in the first encore.
For their second encore the lights in Vector were brought up to reveal the sweat-drenched, ecstatic crowd.
The band finished with Gigantic that summed up the entire show.
For fans who didn't want the night to end, the Pixies granted their wish.
A special double CD set was available after the show of the entire concert - so fans could relive the night over and over.
Lady Gaga played a set a few nights later - Vector Arena had a big week!

Lady Gaga Auckland Concert Review NZ and Set List
Where: Vector Arena, Auckland, New Zealand
When: Saturday, March 13
When: Saturday, March 13
First show of Two Nights
As the main lights went down a silhouetted Lady Gaga appeared behind a massive white drop.
For the first few songs her troupe of scantily clad back-up dancers and singers looked like they had just stepped out of a Mad Max movie.
Wearing a sequinned body suit and high heeled boots she clambered deftly up the scaffolding to belt out Beautiful, Dirty, Rich.
It was nice to hear her breathing hard over the microphone after each number, proving that she really was singing and not miming.
Accompanied by her disco stick for Just Dance, Gaga ordered Vector to jump, and the crowd was only too happy to comply.
When she took time out to talk to the crowd, which she did at regular intervals throughout the show, she seemed genuinely overwhelmed by the affection shown by her fans.
"It's been a long few years, and it only seems like yesterday that I was here in New Zealand with the Pussycat Dolls."
On Boys, Boys, Boys she moved down a central catwalk into the centre of Vector Arena accompanied by dancers in overstuffed cycling shorts against a backdrop of giant, multi-coloured dildos.
The sets, like Gaga's costumes, morphed constantly between songs, moving from New York cityscapes to Tim Burton-esque dreamworlds.
Eveybody on stage, from the dancers to the bare chested guitarist seemed to be having a genuine blast.
On Brown Eyes and Speechless she proved that not only does she know how to put on a spectacular stage act, she also has an impressive set of lungs and bags of talent in the piano department.
And fireballs coming out of a piano? Elton John would be proud.
But the weird and wonderful props did not end there - there was a giant chandelier which descended onto the central stage, and enabled Gaga to get changed into an elaborate animatronic dress and headpiece.
Ad Feedback
And then for Monster, there was a fountain of blood.
Lying on stage she told the crowd "I'm like Tinkerbell, scream for me, you don't want me to die do you?"
And the crowd roarded back in response.
It was exhausting just watching her.
Just for good measure, Alejandro closed out with two of her male dancers enjoying a long kiss in the centre of the stage.
By the time she got to Bad Romance, clad in what can only be described as a spiky, metal sculpture, she looked visibly tired, spending most of the song sitting on the stage.
But the crowd was only too happy to help her along, turning Vector Arena into one massive karaoke session.

Review by Tracy Bond
There were plenty of sequins, sky high heels and brightly coloured wigs as Vector Arena prepared to party with the first lady of pop, Lady Gaga.
Support act Semi Precious Weapons set the tone for the evening by getting the stadium to chant Lady Gaga's name.
After lead singer Justin Tranter cartwheeled off stage the crowd continued to party on its own, chanting 'Gaga' and starting mexican waves which rippled around the sold-out arena.
Before Gaga even took to the stage at least one fan had to be carried off by security after fainting.

| Ohh la la Gaga |
As the main lights went down a silhouetted Lady Gaga appeared behind a massive white drop.
Vector Arena responded by erupting into a massive cheer.
Opening with Dance in the Dark fans had to wait until the next song before the curtain went up and the lady herself (and outfit number one) was revealed.
Throughout the nearly two-and-a-half hour show she made a staggering 16 costume changes going from wearing little more than a black latex bikini, to a complex animatronic angel dress.
The Monster Ball tour features elaborate sets, outrageous costumes and so much action on stage it was difficult to know where to look at times.

Hole's first gig in a decade or so... taking the stage soundtracked by Ravel's 'Bolero one review noted that" Love's vocals held it all together. She wailed and her voice broke and howled and cracked. The pneumatic lips seemed to fade in the lights of the the Empire too, leaving memories of riot grrrrl days or feminist tendencies, and the crowd was left wondering how Courtney ever landed in L.A.. "
Being the home of the Rolling Stones, Hole played a manic version of the Stones' Sympathy for the Devil.

Slash's album is coming to an illegal torrent site soon...
Here's the official press release that was used to announce the Slash solo album
-
In what will be his first true solo album
, rock icon Slash announced today his album, 'Slash', will be released in the UK on 10 May 2010 through Roadrunner Records.
, rock icon Slash announced today his album, 'Slash', will be released in the UK on 10 May 2010 through Roadrunner Records.The album features an all-star roster of guest musicians including Ian Astbury, Chris Cornell, Rocco DeLuca, Fergie, Dave Grohl, Myles Kennedy, Kid Rock, Lemmy Kilmister, Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Duff McKagan, M Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, Ozzy Osbourne, Iggy Pop, and Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother.
A major undertaking for Slash, he enlisted services of producing partner Eric Valentine (Queens Of The Stone Age, The All-American Rejects) and compiled a rhythm section of bassist Chris Chaney (Jane's Addiction) and drummer Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails). Slash handled the majority of arranging and songwriting duties and hand-picked each guest artist. The album's guests worked collaboratively with Slash to round out the song.
"The idea was really simple in the beginning," said Slash. "These are all artists I wanted to work with – that I thought it would be amazing to do something creative and collaborative. And I was so impressed with what everyone brought to the table. They were all so committed to doing a good job. And we had a lot of fun making these songs."
Classic Rock 'Fan Pack'
In the UK, 'Slash' will also see Roadrunner Records enter into a unique and innovative association with a UK media partner – the special-interest media group, Future.
In a brand new concept in record distribution the standard album release will be preceded by a 'fan pack', in which the Roadrunner Records album will be bundled together with a highly-collectable special issue of Future Publishing's Classic Rock magazine dedicated to Slash's career.
The Slash 'Fan Pack' featuring his debut solo album from Roadrunner Records, along with a 132-page Classic Rock Presents: Slash special will have a cover price of £14.99 and will be available on magazine newsstands nationwide, in over 3000 non conventional music retail outlets such as WHSmith, all supermarket chains and many independent high street newsagents.
Background
Slash is widely considered one of the greatest rock guitar players of all time. He has received countless accolades and awards including a 2007 star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame alongside his idols Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix.
An original member of iconic rock band Guns N' Roses, Slash helped the band create signature sounds like the guitar riff of #1 hit Sweet Child O' Mine and Welcome To The Jungle. The band dominated the 1980s and '90s music scene selling more than 100 million albums worldwide and ushered in a decade of hard charging rock music.
After the band's break-up, Slash went on to critical acclaim in his personal project Slash's Snakepit, and global success with supergroup Velvet Revolver. He has been widely sought after by the biggest musicians of all time, performing with everyone from Michael Jackson to Stevie Wonder to Ray Charles.
Slash is one of the marquee playable characters in Guitar Hero III, has two signature Gibson guitars in his name, and authored his own top-selling biography Slash in 2007.

Its good when bands make an effort with the local audience. Typically they play a Crowded House song badly. Bono from U2 did it, GNR did it when they came, Coldplay etc.... but to do the same song twice??? Check out this from the FNM Review:
"The first encore from the reformed rock act's Auckland show at Vector Arena on Thursday night included a well received cover of Don't Dream It's Over by local stars Crowded House. The second encore also began with a second version of Don't Dream It's Over." Two versions? Who's fucking with who there?
