Minutes After Lady Gaga Monster Ball Show in Columbus, OH - March 2011

A few more Gaga videos posted -- Within ten minutes after Lady Gaga's Monster Ball tour stop in Columbus (March 2011), the arena was empty except for dozens of road crew and day labor tearing down to head to Louisville. We talked to a couple of the crew during the show and they said they usually tear down in about three hours. When they have next day shows they are lucky to get more than a couple hours of sleep on the bus and they sometimes get none. We were told there are about 100 on the tour crew.

wow, thats insane. the stage looks so organized and simple during the show. but looks so busy and complicated here.

this footage is amazing! thanks for posting! so what, after the show, you just stayed in the arena and watched? lol something nerdy like i would wanna do,

@thehausofgagax Yeah, because it was snowing out and we had to park far enough away to need a shuttle and we knew the lines would be looooong. Didn't want to freeze :) Plus I really think it's interesting to see what goes into a large production like this. Pretty amazing really to think this entire set up is sometimes torn down one night and set back up in another state the next night.
