For months I've been counting the days. Yesterday I finally got to see Madonna perform at the Ziggo Dome.
And I loved every second of it.
I met so many cool, fabulous, beautiful people, everyone was just having the time of their lives.The Madonna fanbase is just the best.
Prior to attending the show I watched a lot of YouTube videos of the Celebration Tour, but they don't hold a candle to the real deal. Being there and experiencing the sense of community was really special.
I was surprised by the quality Madonna was bringing, especially considering what she has been through just a couple of months ago.
Personal highlights: Nothing Really Matters, Live to Tell, Like a Prayer, Vogue, and especially Bad Girl.
Erotica and Justify My Love I really enjoyed as well, but it felt they were from a whole different show. A bit darker in tone, but that suits my taste just fine.
Minor personal points of criticism: The Beast Within, Don't Cry For Me Argentina and the Like a Virgin & Billie Jean mashup were unnecessary, although I understand how important DCFMA has been for Madonna herself. I really missed Frozen and Express Yourself. But hey, with almost 100 single releases to choose from you can't have everything.
I'm really glad and thankful I got to see Madonna perform again. She looked great, she sounded just fine and she still knows how to put on a fantastic show.
