I’d probably get rid of Justify My Love too, I think it’s a bit too much to have both that and Erotica back to back.

 

Material Girl, 4 Minutes and more complete versions of Music and Papa Don’t Preach should have been there.

JML links to erotica , bad girl and then human nature.

 

I hear you tho

 

I think it makes sense in the set list story-wise but I think from an audience engagement perspective it slows things down a bit too much. It would make room for Papa Don’t Preach to be sung in full (love that section with the intro that pays homage to the Blond Ambition tour but it’s such a tease not to get it in full!).

^ I agree

 

This song would really lift the mood ! That amazing intro !!!

Definitely! Probably my favourite of all Madonna song intros.

 

I also think something like Beautiful Stranger would go down a storm. Not sure where it could really fit in the set list as it’s a pretty unique song in Madonna’s discography and I’m not even sure she actually likes the song.

Not her holding the sign upside down in the first video

Seeing a Madonna concert on World AIDS Day, that is such an experience. I wept!

I went today.

 

This was not a show, it was an EXPERIENCE :heart:

 

Still digesting on my way home!

I also went to the Amsterdam show ! My third time in three different countries!

 

It just keeps better for me. I was surrounded by real fans singing and dancing to every song that made it the best experience yet!

I'm seeing her again tomorrow, I swear to god she better be on time this time as I don't want to miss songs again :(

My last show is on Wednesday!

My last show is on Wednesday!

I'll be joining you!

Enjoy guys! :heart:

Reviews and hype from yesterday are very positive. Charlie Hunnam was the judge.

Had an incredible time yesterday, loved it even more than the first time!

 

So so happy she did the full show! She was late but finished at 11.40pm.

 

I spoke to Madonna's son and manager! Charlie was stood next to me for 5 minutes before he went on stage.

 

Went last night and really enjoyed it. She can still sing, I'll give her that! My only criticism is that there was a bit too long between songs - I know it was all about the stage show and telling a story etc. but I would have liked a bit less of that to make way for an extra couple of songs and more complete versions of 'La Isla Bonita' and 'Crazy For You'. Glaring omissions for me were 'Papa Don't Preach', 'Frozen' and 'Express Yourself', would never have imagined that those would be skipped in favour of the likes of 'Bad Girl' and 'Erotica' (I had deliberately avoided set list spoilers before I went). But then again when you've had 70 odd Top 10 singles I guess it's difficult to decide what to include and what not to, and I have to say 'Erotica' really popped! My favourite surprise inclusions were definitely 'Rain' and 'Die Another Day'. Favourite overall moment has to be 'Live To Tell', that was incredible. But all in all, I'm happy that I've finally got to see her live after all these years :wub:

I cant believe the show started at 8.50 yesterday !!!

 

Stella McCartney was the judge and i saw Michelle Visage in the audience.

 

The show was epic again, to make it even better i would cut the following

* Burning Up

* Justify My Love

* Mother and Father

 

Replace with 3 well known hits = Job Done.

Yes she was amazing last night. I got there bang on her appearance which was lucky (she obviously chose the night that i was going to finally start the show bang on time haha). I guess she could never make everyone happy but yes some cuts could have been done ("Mother & Father", "I Will Survive" for example) to make way for the bigger hits but overall I have no complaints!
