one of the best moments for me (judging from the videos) is during NRM when the circular stage makes a full 360 spin, and you can see the audience on left side screaming when she approaches them, and then the right side having the same reaction

the Sticky DVD was ridiculous, you hear the "perfect" live vocals and then the screaming crow vocals creeping in every now and then

won't the vocals be polished in the final edit anyway, like they usually are?

Does it have so many 'easter eggs'?

can you imagine if they did end up recording it? M fans could forever mock Gaga for naming herself after a Madonna track

his post doesn't imply there will be any major changes, he just considers Rio an additional stop, separate from the originally planned tour

maybe the bank spend a few extra millions to cut down the rambling during the show The speeches are longer than the songs

that's true, but in MJ's case, we need to take into account that his career started long before Madonna's. He had 30 years worth of chart hits just like Madonna, but the timelines were not the same.

great interview! The bit about Mother and Father is a bit confusing, because I though David was singing to his father, who's photos are displayed during the song?

I wasn't specifically talking about the mural, because the child with baloon is quite a regular motif, usually representing carefree innocence.. that's why in the context of AIDS I see it as a metaphor for innocent victims lost in the turmoil of the epidemic ...

if I understood it correctly, the baloon symbolism does not come from the AIDS quilt panel, it was just a coincidence and the man who wrote the post interpreted it as a sign that his friend is watching over him, because the baloon at the show coincided with his dead friends' photos. I think the child with the baloon symbolizes the innocence of the people who died of AIDS.

I'm just surprised how many less known or even unknown shows were able to secure the rights

here's a list of all the shows/movies where her songs were played, it's quite an extensive list, there's 500+ appearances (including Madonna's own releases). A major increase happened in the late 90's / early 2000s https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000187/?ref_=tt_ov_st

interviews with the sound team.... mostly strictly technical talk, not much Madonna talk. I didn't listen to the whole thing, it's almost 2 hours in total, so I just skipped through it.... it's interesting that there are speakers under the runways for a fuller sound.
