LOVE IT!

Isn't the original "edit" or "video version" available digitally on the Japan 3" CD from the boxset? I believe it has been available since the mid 1990's!

BUMP! Any older fans with recordings from the first 4 tours???

I would LOVE to uncover unheard Virgin Tour, Who's That Girl and Blond Ambition recordings!! Anyone here???

ooh! would love to see!

Does anyone possibly have any recordings from The Girlie Show in Istanbul, Puerto Rico or Mexico City???

My first recording was The Girlie Show in New York on October 15, 1993. I really didn't know what I was doing and the quality is awful :/

thank you! sounds great

thanks for stating the obvious... but the point of this thread is to help uncover new recordings...

Hello fellow fans! Checking in to see if anyone here on the forums has ever recorded (audio or video) M's past concerts. I'm specifically keen to connect with older fans and discover recordings for show we haven't heard or seen yet such as Virgin Tour, Who's That Girl, Blond Ambition and The Girlie Show. I'd love to connect with you all!

don't drag me into this

her team doesn't care about leaks - they were only concerned about the hacking. I heard this directly from Guy.

I can't even with this! Couldn't believe what happened to her!

new music, it sounds like the final version.

Library Of Congress I personally HATE the name "Rain Tapes"

it' a tape rip, so tape hiss is pretty high, but it sounds MUCH better than the Library of Congress rips.

Ok, here's my "review" of the tape: 1. Erotica - this is the final, polished version of the demo we know from the LOC tapes. 2. Waiting - sounds very much like the album version but with many changes. more samples of "Waiting... For You" throughout, Completely unique vocal ab libs towards the end. This also fades out (if memory serves the final has a piano ending) 3. Rain - Very close to the final album version except this has the double verse at the end "stand out on the mountain top..." there is also no rain effects the end 4. Deeper And Deeper - very similar to the LOC tape. No backing vocals and possibly a different vocal take. I'd need to do some comparing 5. Thief Of Hearts - similar to one of the final LOC demos, includes some unique backing vocals/harmonies, also has the "thief.. thief... thief of hearts" section at the end. Ends like the album version but much more reverb on the spoken vocals. 6. Bad Girl - similar to the LOC tape, demo vocal, repeated first verse in place of the second verse. this has backing vocals/harmonies. 7. Why's It So Hard - completely different and unique! The music is much more reggae inspired and "raw." Somewhat different structure in terms of the vocal placement. Includes the male vocals with some extra spoken bits not used in the final mix. Demo vocal from M and cold ending with male vocals 8. Where Life Begins - much clearer vocals and more basic music. The saxophone is quite prominent and loud! Vocals are an alternate take with unheard adlibs. 9. In This Life - interesting bass line, this seems like an early version of the final mix. more evolved than the LOC version, but not quite there yet. Demo vocal. spoken vocals seem to have the same "phone" effect as Bye Bye Baby vocals. 10. Words - such a fun mix! this has the final version production with many changes: completely unheard, unique intro, no spoken parts or typing effects. 11. Bye Bye Baby - similar to the final version. different instrumentation throughout. interesting, different samples in the spoken end part - feels more "hip hop" than the final mix. Same ending without the "you fucked it up" 12. Secret Garden - this sounds like the demo we have, that leaked with Dear Father 13. Goodbye To Innocence - this is a version of the LOC mix, but completely different and unique. New vocal take and it includes the final vocals "say goodbye..." lots of new harmonies throughout. pretty different to the LOC version and no where near the demo that sounds closer to Fever. 14. Shame - unique mix to the LOC tape. music is way more evolved and has a funkier beat added to the music we are familiar with. Sounds like a new lead vocal. and there you have it!

sure, I can do that tomorrow when I'm home
