This is what he played all three nights I saw him warm up at Miami! It's superb
According to @cosmic_system this was not the case in other venues so I was pretty lucky!!!

Here's the mp4 one whole track stream version in 64K.

Exactly, word for word. And also perfect timing to have a summer hit. She won't have many more occasions like that at 65. It would be a business crime not to take advantage of the current situation.

She's never had it better in the last... 15 years? for releasing new music and actually making an impact. She's just been universally praised after Rio. The world is rooting for her like never before in ages.
If she has a KILLER track and Warner throws some good money on promo she can do it again.
Take over the world again, mama.

I know this is just a fever dream at this point, but so was the idea of her serving something like the Rio concert until last weekend....
....what if her next era is a major comeback again like Confessions? Obviously not the same level of chart breaking success, but her being back in the public consciousness with new music that's well received, another sold out tour focused on the new music, and her main creative collaborators back at it (Stuart, Mirwais, Jonas, etc).
There are many parallels here to Reinvention Tour and what came after...
...I'd just be so beyond slayed if this woman really has another era left in her that doesn't feel like an appendix to her catalog. MDNA, Rebel Heart, Madame X, and arguably even Hard Candy feel superfluous against the rest of her catalog. It'd be wild for her to be back in the pop conversation with a new QUALITY release again.
Last weekend, I was convinced this was it. That performance felt like such a finale. But I've had people asking me about Rio that I'm surprised were even aware of it. It seems like this performance did her some major good will. Maybe this is the boost she needed to get back out there with another strong album.
I feel like this tour proved she understands what makes her MADONNA and that she tapped back into the best parts of herself as an artist. All of that time self reflecting and seeing how her catalog has been received live will definitely play into her next move as an artist.
This woman continues to blow me away in unexpected ways nearly 20 years into being a fan. It's such a gift to be a fan of Madonna. 

i really do not understand this sound discussion, the synch discussion, i mean ... did you really expect that she allows eurovision to possibly happen again? no f way! the whole tour was a redemption to her reputation. the music, her cultural impact, but yes, also to shut everyone up about her face, ass and vocals. i expected them to be overly protective of her. that means you fuck up a little here and there. minor i'd say.
speaking of fuck. how amazing she delivered one of her best madonna quotes ever???
"you can fuck yourself to the middle, but you can't fuck yourself to the top!"
i can't wait for the mexico release of the show in the arena - that will be such a treat!
i think she might just has delivered the most important tour in her entire career ... a new blueprint. just as she did with blond ambition.
BRAVO!!

Correct, Delays are common added to any live shows to be prepare and protect the audience also. Not just strikers, content control but also accidents.
In this case also allows to give a quick supervision to the vocals and all, as @PHIL says to protect her image too. With the amount of money and production involved you don't want the highlight of the night something like Grimes in Coachella last week.

I think it's her subjective bias to those songs and trying to minimize their importance in her rise to fame.. She had the least amount of creative input in the music during the LAV era, and I think she prefers to credit her own (self written, self produced) songs for her success.

I didn't notice any of the issues people are complaining about at all.
Honestly, I really don't care. I was there, Mother was really happy, we all were having the time of our lives, we all were making history together.
That's all that matters to me ;)

Now that the tour has ended, and in such a splendorous way, I can't help but feel a little sad. For weeks I saw reports about the concert on TV, everywhere people were talking about it, and now it has ended. This was my first M concert ever, and I still can't believe I was there. I wish I could live on that moment forever, it was so special that I just can't put it into words, I feel blessed I had the opportunity to see her after so many years of wait. I hope this was the first time of many to come.

After show party 
 

Fan recording of the full show for those who want live vocals:
@Frank @Enrico

FUUUUUCK The show is even better watching for the second time without the apprehension. This woman is a fucking super-human.

I’ve never been more proud of being a fan than last nigh, it was spectacular, the livestream captured the nature of the show so well, when she got on stage for a few seconds i felt just the way i felt in Paris back in november. The only thing i wish is that her live vocals would be a bit more prominent because the sounded great under the track but i understand the nature of keeping it safe for a live TV. 

Not gonna lie, before this tour started i was a little worried it was gonna be a drag queen lip sync mess but last night and on the whole tour she served nothing but excelence. 
 
I mean her looks, her body, her stamima, vocals, moves, charisma, stage presence, she was on fire and gave us everything last night. 
 
Ate and left no crumbs. I’m so happy for her. 

speechless.
i mean, who would have thought ... again and again ... the most wonderful way to celebrate what she has done, what she stands for, and for all those millions of people who lover her art.
BOOM!! Incredible ....
