Lady Gaga Presents: The Monster Ball Tour at Madison Square Garden

Lady Gaga Presents: The Monster Ball Tour at Madison Square Garden (2011) is a concert film you can watch online on iFILM. HBO filmed two nights of The Monster Ball Tour at New York's Madison Square Garden in February 2011 and cut them into a feature.

The camera doesn't stay on the stage. It follows Gaga backstage, catches her before she goes on, talking with her mother and with fans she clearly feels she owes. The vocals are live, no playback — reviewers singled out how raw she sounded. Liza Minnelli turns up among the guests. Gaga's own choreographer, Laurieann Gibson, directed it. The special drew an Emmy nod, and critics kept comparing it to Madonna's Truth or Dare. If you only know Gaga from her music videos, this is her as a live performer running on fumes.
