She had been in town for some hours before the concert, driving overnight from Detroit. The Purdue concert would have been her 7th in 8 nights in 4 cities, not counting her day at the CES show in Vegas. On the day of the CES, she performed in St. Louis when the city had been hit by a snow storm, severe enough that the nutcase Rev. Phelps clan called off their protest of Gaga due to the show. She flew in from Las Vegas and did the show. While she was in West Lafayette, Indiana on the 26th, she worked out (with my friend's trainer) and around 4:30 we all heard a woman doing the sound check of the mic (since she was the only woman who would use the mic, their use of a female (not sure it was Gaga) indicated their intent that she would perform. They had the full caravan of 18 wheelers and buses - about 18 vehicles. The elaborate stage was all set up, they gave the VIP's a great buffet feast, and the opening acts performed. Then, the Purdue official came out and said that EMT's were attending to her. They also announced the make up date of the 26th. I was surprised they didn't just cancel, since it's crazy expensive to come all the way back after the official US tour finale in NYC on the 24th. Yet, the show is on. It's even more expensive than I thought, because they cancelled the VIP packages, giving full refunds of the difference in price between the VIP package and the regular ticket price. So, I'm getting a second row seat for less than $40. Not bad. As for the Oprah appearance, I was glad to see she was up to it. It's a short drive from West Lafayette to Chicago - 2 hours in her comfy bus. I thought she looked tired. It was a short bit - a 5 minute medley during which she couldn't break the taxi cab window with her mace, and she got teary during the 10 minute interview. They also had a pre-recorded segment. There is no way she went to the trouble and expense to dine the VIP's, start the Purdue show, and then stop it only to come back 12 days later (when she had no other tour dates in the Midwest) while giving back ten's of thousands of dollars in VIP packages. The facts show that she was sick during the Purdue show but that she cowgirl'ed up to do a 15 minute bit in nearby Chicago on Oprah the next day. There is no comparison between doing a 2 hour concert and the little bit on Oprah. Plus, she went on to cancel or postpone 3 other shows before her NYC run at Radio City Music Hall.
