 After revisions , the show was divided into four sections : City , Subway , Forest , Monster Ball and concluded with an encore . It began with a projected video onto a curtain — which contained images of Gaga smoking a cigarette — while a club remix of " Dance in the Dark " played . Surrounded by violet light , her silhouette appeared on the curtain while she performed " Dance in the Dark " . Once the curtain was removed and the chorus reached , the New York cityscape and neon lights were revealed . Gaga gyrated on the set dressed in a " futuristic , angular , glitter ball suit " . After descending from her fire escape , she poked around in the hood of a dilapidated green Rolls Royce while performing " Glitter and Grease " . Upon checking under the vehicle 's bonnet , Gaga revealed a keyboard and began to play the opening notes of " Just Dance " . Gaga then performed " Beautiful , Dirty , Rich " while scaling various pieces of scaffolding and subsequently " The Fame " where she rose from beneath the stage and played her keytar Emma , wearing a giant red cape .
