Because from what I've read and learned from industry professionals, there is a difference in legal terms/usages for performing something live vs putting that performance out for actual purchase. Also, depending on who owns rights, etc....different owners/estates may have different stipulations, costs, etc. regarding what and how something can be used.

Unfortunately, no, she never performed "Ring My Bell". That said, an absolutely fabulous song from an absolutely funky and fabulous album.

She looks fucking AMAZING!!!!!!!! Happy, healthy and out-and-about. Not a single complaint to be had.

BOOM. Good god do I HATE the term "dated". I mean, at a certain point, everything is dated. Doesn't make it any less great. Hell, pretty much every one here is "dated".

So what? There have been prejudices against her from the very beginning, through every single high and low of her entire career. It has never stopped her from doing what she wants...hence why she is Madonna. It's one of the things that makes her so great, and separates her from nearly all her peers. If she followed your logic, why would she (or anyone) have bothered to try anything in the first place...to wait around until others approve?! Her entire life/personality/body of work/etc. is a living testament against that kind of thinking. If there was enough interest to sell out a world tour, let alone make history with Rio...there will be interest in a film (when the time comes).

That's not even true. And if it were, how was she able to sell out a massive tour at 65 on just name value alone? As someone who was there, I can tell you for a fact it was not just boomers, or even Gen X... And if the masses supposedly don't understand her life and work, then all the more reason to actually tell that story. At this stage in a career as a legacy artist, let alone the biggest female of all time, what better time to do it than now. That's the whole point.

Goddamn y'all are depressing as shit. Tour over...and we're right back to perpetually complaining. As always. Good for her to start her movie. I'm definitely looking forward to it. And it was obvious that it was eventually going to happen one way or another. The fact that it will follow the tour makes complete sense. As someone said, as a legacy artist now, there probably is more they can do for her legacy than a new album that would just be geared to the hardcore fans (that of course, we all eventually want, and I'm sure will eventually get). ps. and as for saying none of the films she's acted in are worth watching (for whatever various reasons) - BULL. Desperately Seeking Susan, Dick Tracy, A League Of Their Own, Dangerous Game (Snake Eyes), and Evita absolutely say otherwise. Her own film, W.E., is also a beautiful film. And dare I say she even shines in "Who's That Girl", where her unlikely strength in comedy actually shines. That sounds like a great idea to me. New music inspired by the story of her life. I'm all for it.

LOVE it! Considering they are AI, I thought these were very well done...and in person that backdrop during Take A Bow was stunning!!!

It also has a few of the audio gltches/skips, like during ITG. But overall, it's the best quality so far. The smaller Web-DL 5.5 GB version doesn't seem to have the dubs. Thank you above to who posted it.

So far all these different rips of the broadcast have glitches in audio/video...

The broadcast audio was also missing a lot of the bass and richness that a proper mix can bring. That LiveNation clip from twitter sounds a lot better.

This is EXACTLY how I feel. It was amazing to watch, an utterly defining moment in her entire career, and the perfect way to end this tour... But, I still want a proper, cinematic tour film for multiple reasons - one that captures the entire production as intended by Madonna, the designers, and the entire team, as well as a richer version of the overall sound - with that thumping BASS that was sorely missing. The broadcast, while wonderful, was missing a lot of the extra lighting rigs that provide so much more illumination for the overall show (when seen in person), as well as the great production elements like the flying portal. As well as getting better key angles, as the live feed missed a lot of the action spread out over the stages. Other than that, it's great to have as an additional pro-feed to watch, and as for her... GOD BLESS HER. She rose back like the phoenix she is. Long live the one, true QUEEN.

Still blows me away that there was never a video for Holiday, considering how huge it's become (and even then at the time). And that the label and networks didn't want anything too 'dance-oriented'....goddamn!!! In hindsight, what a choice that was...

THIS. The first album. Easily. The perfect introduction to Madonna - in every way. I think she has the kind of body of work that is best experienced in chronological order. Quintessentially 80s while also feeling timeless. Not to mention, it's just the perfect example of pop music so perfectly executed, right out of the gate.

Oh I fundamentally DISAGREE with that part. Those classic 80s numbers are brilliant fun, the costume design is gorgeous, and integral to that era...esp. Into The Groove. "Not that incredible"... uh, Music says otherwise. Most of those songs would have been great live, and would have added a great punch to the latter part of the show. As for being cut, it's rumored to be because of the health issue (could she have handled it physically), and the show running long already. I don't remember anything alluding to it "not being convincing".
