It's still funny though.

Katy's triangle on her tour is way longer than the MDNA one & the shape is a bit different, MDNA had more of a diamond at the tip.

Nothing 

I saw it on Saturday and it's so different from the rest of her tours that you can't even compare. It's a whole new concept for her and I get why some fans may not like it. It's truly a new phase for Madonna and the old one, for better or for worse, it's now gone.

The appeal of Madonna’s shows for me was always the larger than life spectacle and the high budget production. When she announced a theater tour, I was very disappointed but I still tried to see the silver lining that it would be something original and emphasizes on art and singing and feature her forgotten gems and new material. Unfortunately, it seems a lot more like a low budget downsized version of her big shows than an authentic theatrical experience. 

It is her worst tour, yes:
Low budget production.
Uninspired costumes.
Bad scheduling and planning.
Lack of innovation in terms of reinventing songs live.
Terrible setlist, and I’m happy that it includes more new material, but still doesn’t seem to fit and I’d much rather have forgotten gems like East Ride, Falling Free, Why’s It So Hard and Bad Girl than covers or Papa Don’t Preach, Human Nature, Like A Prayer, Vogue and Express Yourself for the millionth time in some of their most uninspired versions.
Misleading teasers on Instagram where most of the rehearsed gems were cut.
Too much time wasted on speeches or the Polaroid and beer segments.
The show is more like a downsized version of her big tours rather than a true theater experience.

I was at the second night and they filmed entire show.

I completely understand that she is injured and I wouldn’t want her to be in any pain What so ever, sorry but continually cancelling shows at the last minute, giving half arsed apologies ‘hopefully see you Tuesday’. Sorry this isn’t acceptable she is a professional artist start acting like one, stop trying to prove a point and admit that your body can’t take anymore. Also the late starts because she can sorry that is treating fans badly. If you’re happy to accept this from an artist then so be it, but a lot of us now have had enough. 
Also sending her positive vibes isn’t going to cover the thousands of pounds on travel and accommodation, she needs to be honest with us and either cancel the tour completely or rejig the dates cancelling certain dates upfront so that fans aren’t let down and losing more money. 

I attended on the 14th, 16th and 18th shows. The 16th show was weakest for me, cause she was distracted or something - she forgot lyrics in some songs, messed up some steps  18th show was really good one, but I felt all the pain she had... I had feeling she will cancel Sundays show :( 
On 16th show were few changes - during coffin interlude two girls were dancing, not the guy, but on 18th it back to the guy dancing. Lower shoes, during Batuka dancer helps her to come down the stairs (it didn't happened in NY shows then I attended).
And I loved every second being in Lisbon. Lots of Madonna fans (a lot of people with Madonna t- shirts and jumpers walking around the town). Attended to Miroca Paris (M musician) concert on 17th, Madonna crew was there too and the vibe at the show was so good and friendly. M crew was dancing with the fans and it felt like one big M family having a party together :D 
Comparing to the shows at BAM I saw - Lisbon so much better. The crowd more into M, everyone singing, screaming, dancing and it feels that Madame X belongs to Europe this time  
I was filmed few times for DVD on 14th show, hope I will be in the final cut :D And I ended up in M instagram video during I Rise 

I attended the show on the 14th in Lisbon. The show was beyond expectations, just amazing.
M talked with the audience A LOT and at some point she said this:
"For the past 2 months, my leg feels like wood and I can't control it. Please excuse me for this, I want you to focus your attention from the waist up"
She did her BESTEST to keep up with the show and she did. At parts the choreo was toned down but again being the pro that she is it didnt show but if you know M and her stage presence you could feel it...
Especially when she went up and down stairs, she had assistance . And there were random movements where her thigh would make spasms and shake randomly and she couldnt control it. yet she absolutely delivered. At certain moments in the show , she hurt so much you could see it in her face but she would quickly smile like the happiest person in the world so we wouldnt notice.
In Medellin, when shes on the table doing the spread legs thing, she forced herself so hard to do it.
My heart broke as I could feel the outstanding pain she was in. But my heart also was fullfiled as she fought the pain like a soldier and gave us a night to remember for life.
An the Yondr thing...ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT IDEA! Everyone enjoyed the show so much!
 
 

TOAC Melbourne she rode the bike but that was it, just sang and moved around the stage with natural movement and dance, no choreography. Its out of her comfort zone and it was cute how nervous she was but she was just as mesmerizing hearing her sing lots of older songs and better for the vocal focus (curse those grillz but). We all need to be human and grow and change as we age, Madonna resists that a bit too much sometimes as do some fans, she wont last forever

People let's not split hairs about both sides of the issues. People affected are going to be disappointed about their show being cancelled given the money, hotels and everything else taken into account so it's not a bad thing if they are angry, sad or disappointed. It's become a gamble this tour the risk of cancellations due to her health problems. However, let's not also blame Madonna for something beyond her control. Rest and laying off the knee are what's best and she seems to have made accommodations to the show already but given the reduced choreography and change in shoes, it's still bothering her. We can't predict if future shows will be a go or get the cut but I would say look into the refund policy or a secondary way of getting money back before a deadline or enjoying the city you'll be seeing her in as a backup. However, I am sorry for the members who didn't see her tonight and run the risk of a future show being cancelled. As fans we all want a chance to see her on stage but we also want the best for her and her health, so let's see what happens and hopefully it doesn't cost someone to be out of their money or future damage to Madonna's knee etc.

I must be in the minority but I don't want a greatest hits tour from her. If she does indeed go and cancel the tour, I'd rather a new album where she feels creative and inspired like Madame X (if you liked it or not) and a mixture of hits, album tracks, a rarity or two and see how she'll continue evolving as an artist on stage. 
 

I think, she should cancel the rest of the tour, do it now in advance to give everyone time to seek refunds etc. She really needs to give her body and herself time to heal, get the treatment needed to fix it properly, rather than pushing through it and risk creating far greater problems. 
She can then come back later this year, fully healed and can put on an amazing show without being in constant pain. I know a lot of people have booked tickets, accommodation, airfare etc. But her long term health is more important. 

No version since BAT sounds good. I'd rather she just put it away if she can't get a decent bass player like Guy Pratt or keyboardist,as well as drummer. I just turns a heavenly song into some awful fan mix. I just don't bother anymore. 

So pretty. And I like this change up...
 

Oh for Christ’s sake !! Finally enough with these topics “ things you would change “

Huh? She is filming it

The Rebel Heart Tour DVD image was perfect for the tour. Do you remember the God awful monstroity they were planning on using originally from Aldo? Yeah, I'm happier with what we got and it's a good image of the tour. Most of her tour DVDs are usually of live image shots versus photoshoots.

 
Virgin - shot during a performance
WTG - La Isla Bonita shot
BAT - Used images from the tour and some used an EY image
Girlie Show - In This Life shot
DWT- Image from Rosie O' Donnell
Confessions - photo taken from the screen
S&S - image from the stage with the boxers removed
MDNA - Madonna selfie zoomed in
RHT - image taken from Unapologetic Bitch performance

 

Sorry, but it is definitely one of the highlights of this show. It sounds more current now than it did in 2003, and I think she loves playing it, and I loved seeing it. 
to each their own. 

As long as it isn't edited for months like how MDNA and RHT were. I wouldn't be surprised if it's up for streaming for a while before the home release date. Let's hope Aldo Diaz is kept far away from any and all covers and inserts for the Blu-ray.

Yay! I can't wait for a new Madonna TV series, Hannah Montana-like, where she fucks around with lots of horny teenagers, mostly latinos and African-american.

I've seen the news about the show being filmed. I am so happy and I totally think Lisbon is the right place to film it. I cannot wait to see her in Paris. And I hope we'll know about the live release soon after the end of the tour, please please please.  The Rebel Heart live release was a real torture.

Oh please, don't start worrying/creating drama about something that hasn't even been filmed yet!!!
And Madonna won't miss the chance to sell the show on physical cause she knows we're all hungry consumerist bitches.
