Lady Gaga performs Marry the Night for first time: watch the video here

Shockingly, heres something Lady Gaga hasnt done before: A stripped-down performance of Marry the Night, from India, complete with sitar accompaniment.

The video marks Gagas first live performance of the song minus her briefly singing a few stanzas in her Monster Ball HBO special which will be her fifth single off Born This Way. The video for Marry the Night is set for release sometime in the next few weeks, and the cover art has already been revealed on Gagas Twitter account.

She marked her first trip to India with this performance in New Dehli, telling fans, Ive waited a lifetime to come here tonight, and Im very grateful. Im so happy I get to be here and sing for all of you.

Watch the performance below:

Im not sure Im feeling the sitar here, but I am enjoying this slowed-down version of one of her dance tracks. Like shes done with all of her big songs, Gagas best surprises are the simple piano-plus-voice gems shell regularly perform. Let me add my voice to many of her Little Monsters wishes: an all-acoustic album in 2012!
