[The Celebration North American Leg Postponed ~ Begins October]

Many artists do.  It's not that uncommon, but for Madonna it usually is as she usually chooses something to blow the roof off the building. The same goes for the last song .  Anyway, with a tour name "Celebration" and the way she's recently been paying homage to her dance songs (FEL), you can bet she will start the show off with a huge dance number. It's usually the best way to get one's crowd excited for what's to come.  Though, I am sure she will have a video that starts the show, which will probably do a montage of her career over the years.  Celebration will definitely be one huge party.  There will probably moments for slower songs, but I can't imagine her opening or closing her show with one, specifically for this tour. 

I know, I'm just playing...no matter what song she starts with, we know it will be AMAZING and CELEBRATORY!!!

Side note - watching Beyonce's Renaissance Tour videos on Youtube I can't help but think of how little she moves/dances. The tour looks AMAZING. Mashing up "Alien Superstar" with "Sweet Dreams" had me gagged! They've done a great job on visuals and while keeping Bey pretty stagnant throughout the show. She moves but I would not call it a dance heavy show for her. Not a complaint or criticism. Again - it looks and sounds amazing! Just an observation. I wish Madonna would approach her next tours in the same way. She's not a superhero. She can pull off an amazing show without herculean physical gymnastics. 

And Beyonce starts her show with a slow song...just sayin!!

Though I doubt she'll open with a non-dance/high energy song. But I wish she would. The opening of Drowned World with Substitute for Love is one of my favorites. And the Beast Within on RIT - though that wasn't a performance - just a video backdrop leading into Vogue.

 

Drowned World was one of my favorite openings too...unexpected at the time!

Oh, I get it. I just think that she'll kick the show off with something high energy.  But i guess your idea could work if there is an opening video. 

That would be great for an opening video!!

No, I think she's gonna start the show with something celebratory, dancy and very energetic.

Probably...I'm coming from a standpoint of this could be a powerful statement...I'm here, I survived, etc.  Especially this line "The light that you could never see, It shines inside, you can't take that from me"

Does anyone else think "Live To Tell" would now be the perfect tour opener? Some relatable lyrics in there...

It's so weird because the night before we found out about her, I was looking into hotel accommodations. I was awaiting for some additional info before booking anything.  I'm glad I didn't book anything just yet.

Me too! I had been stressing out for the week prior on what hotel I should book and just didn’t commit. And for me the other weird thing was the day before the news broke, I was in Target looking at their clearance vinyls and they had one copy of Finally Enough Love. It was just sticking out to me and even though I have the box set, I picked this up without hesitating. It’s like our Madonna senses were going off!

Also there were performances for Open Your Heart and JML

And Like A Prayer was there too…in this IG post you can hear the beginning right after she finished her opening speech (right after she rightfully so proclaimed that NYC had the best pizza!)

[Touched for the very first time!]

I think I learned from someone on this forum that in Veni Vidi Vici when she says “I saw a ray of light” you can hear her sing “quicker than a ray of light” in the background. Mind blown lol. 

[Madonna and Diablo finished the script!]

Tragic Girl. “Is that a song of mine?” ?

Hi. Have two tickets for Oct. 1 orch row J 33-35 looking to sell or trade for another NYC show with similar seating. Please contact me directly if interested. Thanks. 

[Madonna Can't Stop the Music]

Rocco and His Brothers. Clearly the inspiration!

Love reading old articles like these. Thanks for posting it!

[TUTBMP in MST3K]

Any other Mystery Science Theatre 3000 fans here? I was watching a new episode on Netflix and Jonah Ray, in one of his riffs, started singing the line “This Used To Be My Playground” even adding the “Used to be” part after. Thought this was cool. As these are new episodes on Netflix and TUTBMP isn’t that well known, especially today, I wonder if Jonah is a fan?

[Fever - Girlie Show from Tokyo]

I got it in the Audios section of this forum..topic is titled "All Girlie Show Audios!!" There's a lot in there! The quality of this one isn't the best, but it is listenable.

[Fever - Girlie Show from Tokyo]

So I just heard Fever from The Girlie Show Live from Tokyo for the first time and was amazed at what she did at the ending of the song..."What a lovely way to spend the rest of my life and burrr...urrnn"!  I love all the changes/nuances she put in the songs during the course of this tour!..here's a list of my favorites...can anyone add to this?

 

Fever - "I'm burning up" and the aforementioned (Japan shows)

Rain - "Never go away" repeated just before Just My Imagination and "oh baby" after (Fukuoka)

Like A Virgin - "Gin and Tonic" (London) - why didn't she keep this in??

Deeper and Deeper - "Love to Love you Baby" (Mexico) & the extension of "I just want to love you right/hold you tight" (Japan shows)

La Isla Bonita - "me, me me me me that's all i ever think about" (various) and "Lucy, you're in trouble!" (Toronto)

Speech part - singing "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" (Buenos Aires) and "The Girl from Ipanema" (Rio)

 

I'm sure I'm missing stuff (especially from Holiday and Everybody), but feel free to add in case I haven't discovered everything!
