The show began not with a bang, but with a cinematic pre-show video. Gaga emerged from a glowing, fetal orb (the "Egg") suspended above the stage—a literal rebirth. She descended wearing a crystalline bodysuit to perform "Dance in the Dark." The MSG crowd, 18,000 strong, roared over the synth beat.
