There's not too many things I would change about this tour, but I would change...

1. Eliminate Cherish
2. Get rid of the Keep It Together performance and just end it with Holiday (the KIT performance was just a letdown).

 

[Adriabs 260]

I'd give an extra something to Into The Groove, I feel like this performance feels a little uneventful in a show like this. Everything else is pure perfection.

[Husam Elzien 656]

Drop the Dick Tracy section. It was (not so) subliminal marketing, that at the time was a decent idea, but now it seems to date the show since Dick Tracy never really had an impact outside of 1990-91.  Also, Now I'm Following You while a cute number was a waste of space since it was blatant and deliberate lip syncing. A song from either I'm Breathless or maybe a re-worked version of Crazy For You or something could've gone in there.

Haha. To me Keep it Together is brilliant. It still is today ☺

1. Eliminate the Dick Tracy section.

2. Replace "Causing a Commotion" with "Spotlight" (or similar dance song).

3.  Full versions of "Open Your Heart" and "Oh, Father"

4. More serious perfomance of "Material Girl"

The rest is simply perfect.

I wouldn't miss the DT section, especially if it allowed for three other songs from her back catalogue. I assume La Isla Bonita would have been in there. Not sure what else I would have added. It could have been a spanish section with WTG and Spanish Eyes. 

Rest her voice, even if it meant a delay in the tour. She needed proper vocal rest.

Bring the tempo up for KIT, just a bit. It works well in ToD but I have never been impressed by the other live performances of the number which often feel flat. I do love ending it with that theme of family though, so I would keep it in.

[Guest Nobody Knows Me]

The main thing I’d change is have the Paris concerts filmed in their entirety and release it on home video in the ‘90’s, and then on Blu-Ray for an anniversary.
