Pop Ate My Heart (Video interlude)
Then, Gaga gets lifted up from the dancers, during this interlude. The video have Gaga wearing a white shirt bleeding pink blood. Birds are flying towards her during the whole interlude.
Recorded Vocals
I really don't remember when. But it was quick and then was dead.
Before I knew the thing inside, I felt something was gone, I cried.
He ate my heart, he a-a-ate my heart. Pop ate my heart
and I became a slave, to what? To his LoveGame...
"LoveGame"
After Pop Ate My Heart, she performed "LoveGame". The backdrop is her kissing with a man. During some shows, "LoveGame" featured vocals from "Starstruck".
"Starstruck" (featuring Space Cowboy)
The video features Gaga with her straight, blonde wig, and a star over her right eye. She is wearing regular black sunglasses with glitter falling around. Stars move as a tunnel and three cherries fall onto the screen in at the beginning like a slot machine. A short clip of the video was used in the US promotion commercial for The Fame. After "LoveGame", Gaga performs "Starstruck" with Space Cowboy. The screens project a backdrop which features Gaga and Space Cowboy singing the verses of the song except the chorus.
"Paparazzi"
If the venue was a club with no space for the LED screens, the dancers were on stage with Gaga acting like Paparazzi taking pictures of Gaga. On regular show, they were behind the LED screens and they moved them to follow Gaga moving from left to right on the stage. The backdrop featured blue, red and yellow square moving while the chorus had flashing lights from camera. Some of the shows, Space Cowboy played guitar. The ending of the song had a video of Gaga cutting her hair, crying in a bathroom. At the beginning of the song, the dancers removed her skirt. Some of the show had Asiel dancing and miming taking picture of Gaga during the song.
Space Cowboy Segue (Video interlude)
A musical piece with footage from The Fame: Part One is played. Then, Gaga and dancers stand on the center LCD screen and disappear behind the other screens. Space Cowboy then plays a custom segue.
"Poker Face"
When the segue finished, Gaga appears again with the dancers to perform "Poker Face". During this performance the backdrop featured scenes from The Fame: Part One.
"Just Dance"
Before "Just Dance", Space Cowboy played an orchestral version of the song on a keyboard. Then, Space Cowboy plays an orchestral version of "Just Dance". During the orchestral version, Gaga talks to the crowd wearing her iPod LCD Glasses and the LCD screens projected a cap from the Haus Introduction which features Gaga and her iPod glasses projecting the phrase "Pop music will never be low brow". Then Gaga performs "Just Dance" as the final song and then New Kids on the Block started performing. The song included elements of the Richard Vission's remix at the end
Concert dates
The tour started on September 18, 2008 and ended on December 4, 2008 for the North America leg. Lady Gaga as opening act began on October 8, 2008 during 27 shows out of the 28 planned. The show on November 23 was cancelled (Due to an unavoidable scheduling conflict the New Kids on the Block concert, originally scheduled for Rose Garden Arena on Sunday, November 23, 2008 has been cancelled).
The performances outside of the tour dates used virtually the same set list, stage props and outfits. So these concerts were added to the list.
