It's perfection.

This was when Madonna really hated her back catalogue. Since ROL she was avoiding everything 80s-related. She mentioned a few times (paraphrasing) that she just could perform Material Girl or Like A Virgin because she was not that person anymore. I think this ended around American Life, when she did the acoustic versions of Like a Virgin and Like a Prayer.

I think the demand for the first Madonna tour in 8 years was huge. She knew it would sold out and people were dying to see her. So, she took advantage of that and did whatever the fuck she wanted with the setlist, and I fucking love her for that.

I have no choice but to stand the fact that she performed The Funny Song instead of a hit  And I'm sorry, and maybe it's because I'm latino little faggy boy myself, but I LOVE Lo Que Siente La Mujer, and that arrangement with Calderone's mix, still gives me goosebumps.
BUT...

Nothing Really Matters should've been in the Geisha section and You'll See should've been part of the setlist since day one.

And why not? I'd take that over the Evita and and anything else from Bedtime Stories honestly.

Gone is cute and all but did it deserve a spot on the setlist over some of these absolute gems that she has yet to perform live on tour? No. The same goes for Nobody's Perfect.

I would just add a full remixed version of Nothing Really Matters. Still cant believe it was left out. Oh ya and Power of Goodbye

Yes the company Nocturn records all Madonna shows, and have done since WTG. It has been confirmed by a guy who works for the company (through Jamesy at Madonna-tv) I think others have confirmed this too. The footage from the screens and a soundboard exists for all shows in a vault.
 
I think during WTG local stations brought their cameras, which is why we have that Texas footage. During BAT it was mostly screens footage that was given to local stations.
 
 
I don't think the full Houston show was ever broadcast on MTV. Does anyone have proof of this? I know Holiday and KIT were recorded by MTV on May 4th and shown during their live broadcast at the show on May 5th, plus the opening of the May 5th show was shown, but that is it. Apart from any sequences captured while Downtown Julie Brown and Kurt Loder were hosting nothing more pro-shot was shown.
 
Almost all opening night Euro/UK shows were shown on tv through news reports (generally first few songs). I have never seen Turin, but all other opening nights in each city had footage shown
 
The WTG Miami show had 4 songs recorded by MTV, not just the opening. Open Your Heart, Lucky Star, Causing a Commotion and The Look of Love.
 
For BAT, it goes likes this
 
Apr 
13th Chiba Japan (screens footage for various news shows around the world generally EY, OYH and CAC)
 
15th Chiba (Opening number for ToD, colour footage was also shown on Madonna during WTP and the speech section after CAC during the HBO Pre-Show)
 
26th Yokohama (Full show shot by Japanese tv, not from screens and two edited versions exist, one for broadcast and one for VHS/Laserdisc)
 
May
4th Houston USA (Holiday and KIT shot by MTV in full with speech after Holiday broadcast May 5th, plus screens footage shown on various news stations in Houston with EY and I think OYH)
 
5th Houston USA (Opening of show broadcast during MTV's Blond Date live from the arena, some songs seen in background during broadcast. Screens footage leaked with poor sound, possibly recorded by an employee in the arena)
 
7th Dallas USA (Opening numbers shown on various US and international shows, just clips)
 
11th Los Angeles USA (First few songs shown in clips on local news)
 
23rd Rosemont USA (Only EY as far as I know was shown)
 
27th Toronto Canada (Clips show on various Canadian shows of opening numbers)
 
28th Toronto Canada (Have heard this was the night Hanky Panky was recorded, could be wrong and was probably just taken from the screens footage)
 
29th Toronto Canada (Possibly footage shown on news when talking about possible arrest, not sure)
 
31st Auburn Hills USA (Clips shown on news of opening songs + I think this was the b'day night for Madonna's dad so B&W footage shown in ToD)
 
Jun
5th Worcester USA (Have seen Pro-Shot of WTP and SoL in full)
 
11th Uniondale (clips from opening numbers on local news)
 
16th Philadelphia USA (Clips from opening numbers on local news)
 
24th East Rutherford USA (This whole show is floating around as it was sent to HBO as a screener copy and elements were used during the HBO Pre-Show. OYH and ITG in full have been leaked)
 
25th East Rutherford USA (AIDS speech and possibly parts of Holiday were shown on various news shows around the world)
 
30th Goteburg Sweden (Clips of EY, OYH, WTP seems to be screens footage LaP, SoL, HP, NIFY, MG. seems to be from a local Swedish show that kept taping from a distance, and I wonder if the whole show is out there)
 
Jul
3rd Bercy France (Pro shot of first 4 songs for news, fuller versions of EY and WTP have leaked)
3rd, 4th & 6th Bercy France (All shot on 35mm film for ToD, parts shown in doco)
 
10th Rome Italy (Clips of opening numbers shown on various shows. Entertainment Tonight played extended clips of EY during various stories on Madonna, including quite a long clip during their end of year look back at 1990, as well as LaP and LaV)
 
15th Munich Germany (Clips of opening numbers, some in longer format)
 
17th Dortmund Germany (Clips of opening numbers for local news and MTV)
 
20th Wembley England (Clips of opening numbers + LaP and LaV shown all over the world)
 
24th Rotterdam Netherlands (Opening clips shown on local news)
 
27th Madrid Spain (opening numbers, I believe WTP in full has leaked + a long clip of LaP shown as well)
 
29th Vigo Spain (Opening numbers shown on news)
 
31st Barcelona Spain (full show broadcast around the world)
 
Aug
5th (Full show broadcast around the world)

I guess all are recorded, but only some acts are sent to the press.

Love the album but never understood the love for impressive instant ? It sounds like a bellyache to me ??
fave tracks are WIFLFAG and I Deserve It 

Wish she made music like this nowadays! She really needs it. It was one of a kind, fun, and flawless from start to finish. A masterpiece! WIFLAG is an impressive song.

The power of goodbye and take a bow
