    Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t Detox a beer bitch on Madame X too?

    Ah yes, that’s true (or at least bought a Polaroid)! They also used audience footage of Detox from Rebel Heart in the Madame X tour film as well. I remember talking to Detox around Rebel Heart Tour, right after Courtney Act had been unapologetic bitch, and she was waiting for her moment ;)

    (On insta it looks like she did a Girlie Show number at the club prior to going to the show)

  2. Vocals aside, I like that TAB's been included, but it feel it would work better in place of/around Bad Girl. However, we definitely don't want her to cut that. Like others have said, You'll See or I'll Remember could work well, too, but I doubt she remembers those exist. Sonically, I think Power of Goodbye would great in that slot also, but prob not the message she wants to end on.

    Devil Wouldn't Recognize You would also be cool in order to have a little Hard Candy representation. But then no-one would have a clue what the song is:kiss2:

    My favourite performance of this song, imagine if we had this on the sticky and sweet tour

     

    Completely forgot about this one; it's really lovely! Thanks for posting:hearteyes: I don't think this version would've worked on S&S. That show is such an assault on the senses, and the rock version fits that quite well. This versions feels much more Rebel Heart Tour, I think.

  4. I'd prefer Rain to remain in place as well. I do wish she'd add the bridge and a light cue for it; that would really take it over the top. If she were to replace it with Frozen, I hope it's that original idea we heard about. Wasn't she supposed to wear some big dress/cape while going up on a platform or sth? (altho even in that scenario, I'd rather keep Rain re: "stand out here on the mountain top..")

    Hi!

    I was at the arena last night, just by the entrance to the floor area and I can guarantee the show started late due to issue with the O2 itself, not M.

    Around 8:30 there were still many, MANY people coming down to the floor area (it seems there was only one way in - from door 103), most people had drinks from the bar in plastic cups (even wine bottles) and to get to the floor one had to put all liquids in a paper cup. There was ONE person alone giving out the paper cups, and this delayed the entrance of thousands of people. 

    At around 9 people from the production itself came around asking the security guy (at this point joined by another person handing out the cups, but that soon ran out of cups and couldn't find any) and I cleared heard: We're all ready - we are waiting for you!!!! - to which a security supervisor kept saying they can't start until the stairs/entrance area is clear due to security reasons. M's team was coming and going, running around looking nervous. 10min after the last few people got into the floor area, the show started.

     

    Partially this is the fans fault - the show was supposed to start at 8:30, and at 8:30 half of the arena was queuing for drinks at the bar. And of course the O2 itself, it was a sh*t show having 1 person alone handing out thousands of paper cups.

    Now you could only see this if you were right near it, the rest of the arena kept shouting and complaining she was late unaware this had nothing to do with M and tbh not sure why they don't hand out paper ones at the bars 🤦‍♂️

     

    Interesting to read; thank you! I do think we should be careful when shifting blame to fans. Most people likely arrived late because Madonna has made it very clear she will, too--every night. You can't really blame people for not wanting to sit around endlessly prior to a show on a weekday . I suppose if the act then does want to start earlier/on time; this is a consequence. I do understand not wanting to start the show until most people are seated; then again, there are always people coming and going during concerts.

    For what it's worth, at the shows in Amsterdam, I was able to speak to one of the security officers on the floor for quite a while (because... 10.30 start). She told me security personnel is able to select what acts they want to work security for. She also told me that when selecting Madonna (or Ms Madonna, as she kept saying), they (and most other venue staff) were informed "well in advance, [they] would need to be available until at least 1 AM." I suppose this can work differently from country to country, but at the same time, it does signal these late starts seem to be an elected choice. I mean, that's fine, the organizer tried very hard to inform concertgoers beforehand, and it seems staff were accounting for it as well (in Amsterdam).

    Be that as it may, despite the late start, the vibe in Amsterdam was great, and it didn't feel that long/late because I think everyone was expecting it:Madonna054:
