called Gaga "dynamite throughout the night" and praised her connection with the audience, while criticizing the overlong costume changes "as her band was forced to fill in the gaps with extended vamping". Europe Alexis Petridis from The Guardian rated the show 5 stars out of five, and singled out Gaga's performance during the acoustic sections and her connection with the audience as highlights. He further added that although the show cannot be called "understated", compared to Gaga's older concert tours, "the weirdness that was once her calling card has been considerably scaled back". Alice Vincent from The Telegraph also noted that the Joanne Tour is "a more minimalist affair", but in her opinion "Gaga's appeal" is "not gimmicks or dramatic reinventions, but that she stays the same beneath them all". Jonathan Dean of The Times opined that the "show is a bit sombre, with heavy-handed videos and between-song chat about her mother and father crying, but this isn't for people who wince at sentimentality. It is for the fanatics who treat Gaga as family.' Broadcast On November 19, 2017, Gaga performed "The Cure" live for the American Music Awards, from the tour stop at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. This was the first televised performance of the song, and Gaga's second consecutive year performing at the American Music Awards. The same day prior to performing "LoveGame", the show was put on hold to broadcast a live screening of the American Music Awards presentation for Best Pop/Rock Female Artist which Gaga won. The award was presented by three fans and her acceptance speech was broadcast live from the tour. Set list This set list is from the August 1, 2017, concert in Vancouver.
