Glad you enjoyed it Jordan!

 

I was thinking on what I would have expected if I had bought tickets... I do like that she's included some choices that long time fans will appreciate hearing, performing Rain for the first time since 1993 for example I think is a good move.

 

Given there's 28 tracks, these are the the ones that I'd have definitely been expecting to hear performed on the night:

 

Like a Prayer

Frozen

Vogue

Into the Groove

Holiday

Hung Up

Like a Virgin

Express Yourself

Ray of Light

Papa Don't Preach

Music

Crazy For You

Live to Tell

La Isla Bonita

Material Girl

Justify My Love

Celebration (but only because of the tour title)

 

 

Then these are the ones I'd have been surprised if I didn't hear but wouldn't have been 100% guaranteed in my mind:

 

Everybody

4 Minutes (even though I don't massively care for it)

Don't Tell Me

Human Nature

Erotica

Dress You Up

Open Your Heart

Borderline

Beautiful Stranger

Sorry

Don't Cry For Me Argentina

Take a Bow (if only because of the huge US success)

Lucky Star (not a huge fave of mine but she always seems to like it)

Candy Shop

 

And finally these are the ones I'd have been secretly hoping to hear...

 

Rescue Me

Ghosttown

Nothing Really Matters

Drowned World / Substitute for Love

The Power of Goodbye

Cherish

'Til Death Do Us Part

Forbidden Love

Girl Gone Wild

Oh Father

Get Together

Secret

Die Another Day

Sky Fits Heaven

Bad Girl

Bedtime Story

Absolutely loved last night, she looked incredible and what a production!

 

It was nice to see her visibly enjoying herself too.

 

Very gutted she cut out songs at the end, however i'm hoping when I see her again in December she is early and she performs the whole setlist.

 

Also, Alison Hammond (!!!) was sat right behind me and was so lovely, got to speak to her and have photos with her and spoke during the concert. She was loving it!

^ you honestly didnt miss much with the last two songs !! I hope u

see them in december!

 

am actually hoping they may tweak the ending because its seems to be the only negative!

 

i wonder what it would have looked like if tour started on time!

Love Alison - iconic queen!

From clips I’ve seen it looks like she’s finally having fun! Taking herself less serious. It’s sad to see she’s slowed down and that her injury still affects her but it’s to be expected for a woman mid 60s! Seeing her performance with Maluma last year really worried me, she looked so unfit- but she I don’t see signs of that from the clips I’ve seen!

 

So jealous of everyone who managed to grab a ticket!

I've been watching clips on YouTube and Twitter since the tour began and I just can't get enough! Very jealous of everyone that has gone to see her and I'm glad everyone here seems to have enjoyed the show. I hear the criticism of some of her biggest hits being missed off (as I mentioned in the pinned UK chart thread, half of her Top 20 most streamed songs weren't performed) but I do appreciate the setlist was designed to tell a story of her life/career rather than be hit after hit and at least each era was more or less covered.

 

It's such a thrill to see the likes of 'Nothing Really Matters', 'Bad Girl' and 'Rain' being performed after all these years, I honestly never expected these to appear but she sounds great on all these songs; 'Nothing Really Matters' is such an inspired opening song and really does summaries the essence of Madonna really well. From what else I've heard, 'Live to Tell' and 'I Will Survive' also sounding incredible!

 

I'm also really happy to see Madonna looking well and really enjoying herself. It's the best she's looked in years and it's such a relief after disastrous public appearances and performances in recent years.

Want to see a video of this !!

From Twitter (or X) looks like a full show was played!

 

Gutted from the shows so far it’s my show that was cut the most (but as I said earlier in the thread the end segments aren’t necessarily what I’d most want to hear) would have still liked to have seen the Like A Virgin interlude though but If say the Holiday / Live to Tell / Like A Prayer segment was the end I’d have been a lot more gutted to have missed that.

 

 

I honestly do not understand why she cannot get on the stage on time? It’s such a disrespect to the fans who have paid so much money to be there to constantly be late and cut the show short. I was so annoyed when she did it at my MDNA show, haven’t bothered to see her again since.

I managed to get very last-minute tickets for last night, and I’m so very glad I did. I just got very lucky with our seats. She came on late but played full set until 11.25pm and so I’m not complaining.

The performance was epic! Strangely intimate, very moving and so much fun. Easily the best tour for me since confessions. I bloody loved it, and was moved to tears at least 3 times. That’s a sign of a great show right?

The clips I’ve seen on YouTube/socials just didn’t do it justice. I’m so so glad I got to see it and her, she was on great form and had a lot of energy last night. Musically, she was on fire, and the highlights for me, were the unexpected ones. Burning Up, Erotica and Bad Girl to name but a few.

Tired, but a very happy fan this morning x
