Hopefully it is gone for good. I guess she has to save her voice for Take A Bow so she can't sing anything else next to it.

I don't like how she repeats so many songs, MDNA Tour had 5 songs from S&ST 2008, now Rebel Heart Tour has 5 songs from S&ST 2009. There is Like a Virgin that has been overperformed, then 3 more from RIT.
 
Sure, we got True Blue & Who's That Girl but that does not cover everything, she ignores post-1992 too much and some dubious choices of Rebel Heart, like no Hold Tight or Joan of Arc...

She also prefers her shows to be like music videos, plus the vocal tampering started in Truth or Dare already and CT had a lot of overdubbing as well, see Hung Up that sounded more live at the shows than on the DVD.
 
And she has the habit now of having a loud backing tape of album vocals while her mic being on and you can hear it on fan recordings that a lot of times they are not in sync so obviously that gets corrected for the DVD as well.

Hanky Panky was already done 1920s style TWICE so why would anyone need it on this tour?

Don't think the demand is there, she's toured Europe to death in the past several years.
 
If there is another leg then it should be South America + South Africa to cover everything with this tour.

Her longest albums have the most filler and yeah, Erotica is definitely among them. Thief of Hearts, Words & album version of Fever add nothing to the quality whatsoever and to me only the live versions of Why's It So Hard & In This Life work...

The pattern is that Who's That Girl & Secret are never done together.
 
Wonder if the 3rd show tonight is having Like A Prayer without Dress You Up.

It was six months after the final show and also six months after Celebration.
 
MDNA Tour was 9 months after the final show and 1.5 years after the album... So Rebel Heart Tour is likely to follow the same pattern.

Possibly more than that, varied show to show. But the DVD is not a good indicator as it has some fixed vocals.
 

 
Also, La Isla Bonita in Fresno was not live:
 

She's had way too many changes for a Madonna show by now, don't see how one could expect more. Back in 2004 and 2006 she did 55-60 shows with literally no changes...

Only hearing her live voice during the second verse...

^She is dedicated that way. :D

I also really love this tour version of WTG.
 
Honestly I really didn't love WTG. 
 
But this tour version make change my mind. 
 
So beautiful. I love this version so much. I just falling in love with this song after almost 30 years!

"some nights it sounds like, some nights it doesn't"I wonder if M decides in advance every night if she wants to sing certain songs live or if she can choose at the precise moment.I am also quite sure that she removed Everybody from the RHT gypsy medley because it was too high in range and therefore too tiring vocally, even if it fitted lyrically a lot better than Lucky star. Pity, they could have prepared something better and change the tonalities.

^Some additions to your post:
 
MDNA Tour: Revolver, Gang Bang (except the shouting bits at the end) & I'm Addicted are not live either. I Don't Give A has backing tapes. Express Yourself from the Born This Way bit does not seem to be live either. Erotica bit in Candy Shop not live either. Celebration is mostly playback as well.
 
Confessions Tour: Sorry was never live except the last line, Future Lovers was live on the first night but then mostly lipsynch. Backing tapes during Get Together, Jump, Music Inferno and possibly I Love New York & Hung Up. Erotica was never sung live in my opinion and interestingly enough La Isla Bonita was playback in Fresno.
 
Re-Invention Tour: Die Another Day is not live, she re-recorded the vocal. Papa Don't Preach was live on the first night but then lipsynch. Not sure about Into The Groove, some nights it sounds like, some nights it doesn't. Naturally rap during American Life is not live. On some nights Hanky Panky & Lament sound "too perfect" but could never be sure if they were playback.
 
Drowned World Tour: Sky Fits Heaven was never live, nor the last line of Human Nature, otherwise scarce backing tapes maybe in Ray Of Light & Music.
 
The Girlie Show: Vogue is not live although her mic is on just like on BAT, Fever was not live in London. Express Yourself might have had backing tapes, Holiday as well. Bye Bye Baby always seemed live to me (unlike VMA), last bit of Justify My Love is live.
 
Blond Ambition Tour: In addition to those you listed, she had heavy backing tapes during Papa Don't Preach & Into The Groove, possibly Causing A Commotion as well.

The real autotune corrects the pitch, that is true, but here she's not using it while singing live, she just covers the playback (a different pretends-to-be-live recording as in GGW in MDNA tour) with special effects.
Other special effects were used, for instance, to keep the long note during You must love me in S&S (what I'm feeliiiiiiiiing), and also the pitch sometimes was adjusted during the note.

Devil Pray seems to be complete playblack on the most recent show:
 

Nice to see a proper discussion on this!
 
I think all of the Rebel Heart songs have backing tapes to a certain extent. The least are HeartBreakCity (I think only the "IIII'm in the middle..." part only) and Rebel Heart (the chorus), the rest are way more pre-recorded vocals than live, but this is obvious, she bends over backwards in the studio now to sound "young" or "different" so she cannot reproduce these vocals live.
 
That said, to me Iconic sounds more live than not, out of tune a lot of places and she moves less than during most uptempo numbers, possibly not to open with a playback track like Future Lovers or Girl Gone Wild.
 
Bitch I'm Madonna & Holy Water have a few lines as her mic is always on but those two are the least live tracks alongside Living For Love, someone said Vogue is live, no it's not, there was a video where she misses her cue while coming down the pole. Devil Pray is live during the verses but then the fast and high-pitched parts are tapes.
 
Body Shop is like Hung Up on MDNA Tour, pretending live auto-tune but it's just re-recorded, though she is doing some lines live. Don't really get why anyone believes she can sing live in that tempo while doing a choreography...
 
Deeper And Deeper & Music are the hardest to tell for me, I guess some backing is there during the chorus but mostly live, same for Material Girl & Holiday.
 
Dress You Up seems to be completely live as she sounds quite bad in it, thankfully she sounds great in the slower songs like Who's That Girl.
 
Candy Shop is barely live on this show compared to the previous tour to my ears, possibly because it's a demanding choreography for her compared to the rest of the show...

^Thanks, great sound in that video!
 
Frozen is at the 1 hour 25 minute mark for those who want to check it out!

Not sure about it at all. Does it sound the same on every night? To me Living For Love is the only lipsynched number, several others have backing tapes but her microphone is on and can be heard doing some lines.
