Lady Gaga will be performing tonight at the Roseland Ballroom - for those of you not lucky enough to be at the show, you can watch the whole thing live online. Head to GetMoreGaga.com at 9/8c to check out the final show at one of New York City's most historic venues. The Roseland Ballroom was built in 1922, making it one of the most historic venues in the city. Lady Gaga has had a seven-day residency to send the venue out with a big bang.

Lady Gaga has been at the center of some controversy since her SXSW performance where she was criticized for making light of eating disorders. However, the Roseland show has seen Gaga go back to her New York roots, pairing down the concert to the darker days of Gaga when she was playing at piano bars in New York's Lower East Side and before she was dueting with Beyonce or sporting meat dresses. The concert series has been widely praised.

Gaga has spoken about wanting her show to be a tribute to this historic venue. The Roseland Ballroom hosted Hillary Clinton’s 53rd birthday party with a performance from Cher and where Fiona Apple had her 'breakdwon' in 2000. The set for Gaga's who was based around a New York fire escape-like structure, indicative of her desire to pay tribute to the city and its music. And while there was certainly spectacle, fans were impressed by Gaga just singing simply on her own.
