I am glad she postponed it because her vocal delivery during the live performances of the Ray Of Light era was really affected and that always made me cringe. It's amazing how she recovered her vocal delivery for the Music era. And that's the voice we were all able to hear at the Drowned World Tour.

I was waiting like crazy the tour, at my 8 years old back then.., and then nothing. Thinking that in that days (for me), M was like trying to leave behind  'the old Madonna', I assume that the whole Ray of Light album was going to be performed, and I'm so sure that ideas from the cancelled tour were used in the Drowned World Show, here's my Idea:

 

-- The Veronica Electronica Arena World Tour -- 

(All, even some ballads have beats and very synthetic sound)

Part 1 --  Japanese/Harajuku Streets

01 Opening/Substitute For Love (Opening  with 'Paradise' Style)

02 Nothing Really Matters (Dance Mix With Japanese Style)

03 Into The Groove (Asian Themed)

04 Open Your Heart Swell (Like DWT)

04 Frozen (Maybe the same of the DWT  with differente ending)

---- (Interlude) Mer Girl ----

 Part 2 -- Lost

01 To Have And Not To Hold

02 The Power Of Goodbye

03 Live To Tell

04 You'll See

---- (Interlude) Hanky Panky ----

 Part 3 -- Candy Girl

01 Candy Perfume Girl (Contains elements of 'Don't Stop')

02 Swim (Contains elements of 'Burning Up')

03 Like A Virgin (Rock)

04 Ray Of Light

(Interlude) Secret

Part 4 -- Insomniac (Maybe using the train in the You'll see MV arriving at the 'Medley' to some super cuteguetto style bar later)

01 You Must Love Me

02 I'll Remember

03 Medley: Love Don't Live Here Anymore/Crazy For You/Something To Remember

04 Bad Girl (Extended Outro)

(Interlude) - Bad Girl Outro

Part 5 Illumnation

01 Shanti (Extended Intro like MTV ver.)

02 Skin/Bedtime Stories (Mashup)

03 Erotica (Kamasautra ver.)

04 Vogue (Indian ambient plus ending beats remix) (some like BAT ver. but totally different) (?)

(Interlude)

Part 6 -- Encore 

01 Little Star/Take A Bow (Transition)

02 Like A Prayer (Choir Mix)

03 Borderline (Choir Mix/Audience Participation/Beats Transition)

04 Everybody/Holiday/Everybody

---- Closing ---- (Don't Tell Me To Stop on The Screens (Madonna returning to stages and as 'easter egg'  because of course she has been working on what is going to be the 'Music' album during this).............. hahahahaha:silly:

I actually love the fact that there was not a tour. The break and 2001 live return after so long... and in the 2001 music industry before the current state of things, created such a magical excitement in the press. 

I'm glad there was no tour for BS or ROL. I do wish she had released Veronica Electronica though.

Ray of Light would never have worked on a standard tour of hers like she did with the other albums.

It wouldn't surprise me if that's the reason why she performed mainly ROL and Music songs on the Drowned World tour. Both albums are close in electronica sounds and themes.

I'm with you.  Also, it just showed that she could drop an album even at 40, and do well with it, without a tour.  It's among her biggest selling.  These days, she couldn't get away with dropping an album and not touring, and making any money.

I think it could have been really interesting if she’d done a one off theatre show for Ray of Light. Something similar to Kylie Minogue’s Intimate and Live. Madonna in a theatre, performing everything from Ray of Light plus some 90s songs with a live band and Donna and Niki, minimal set, maybe wearing what she wore for The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1998. And then Drowned World Tour in 2001.

I don't think any of her past catalogue would have fitted with estoric electronica vibe of Ray of Light.  She would have had to include a couple of covers, like a David Bowie track and probably something like George Harrisons All Things Must Past etc... to make it work. 

Also something like MTV Unplugged with a live CD would have helped sales as well.

I think her 90s work could have. When she was planning the Ray of Light Tour 1999, according to her spokesperson she was only going to perform songs from Erotica, Bedtime Stories and Ray of Light exclusively. Those three albums all have this blue theme to them as well so I personally think they would’ve been a good fit.

I could see In This Life and Secret Garden fitting in with ROL and probably a few from Bedtime Stories, yet ROL was a ground breaking album itself. There was nothing like it around mainstream when it was released.
