Yes exactly

[GregVsMatt 3,695]

And this from the Warner catalogue press release:

Guy Oseary said: “Over the past 30 years, I’ve been fortunate enough to meet and spend time with many of Madonna’s incredible fans, and this new partnership will bring to fruition what so many of them have been patiently waiting for: a celebration of her groundbreaking catalogue. My partner Sara Zambreno and I are working closely with Warner Music Group to bring new life to these iconic works.”

That would be amazing but her and Alek have been saying for a long time now that footage is either lost or it wasn’t filmed ( depending on whom you believe) 🥺 it would just be nice to get some kind of update- anything is better than total silence imo - I’m so bored of these cruddy frozen remixes which lets be honest hasn’t exactly enticed fans back in their droves 🙄

I guess those film reels she showed to us are just the film reels for the final cut of ToD.

Pain. Just pain.

Guy and Sara know exactly what the fans want and  M also knows what the fans want - she just mostly says no.

Then how come we didn’t get any updates on these reissues. I seriously doubts Madonna herself has any opinion about keeping us updated. And it’s hard for me to believe he can’t get through to her that it’s a bad decision to promote that remix compilation daily and then go completely silent. 
Come on, let’s be serious. At this point Guy is one of the most influential people in the music industry and has more leverage on her than anyone else in her entourage since  the last thing she wants is for him to walk out on her. 
If he had any interest to turn things around he could push her more.

And that just proves my point. I think those were the only topics that were “unofficially” addressed by her current management and by Madonna herself.

Alec’s comments on Blond Ambition Paris filming only certain numbers has always felt off to me. 
 

It’s a live tour documentary there’s no way they could possible have known which numbers would have related to the material or subject matters the real life situations threw up. The whole project was a post film creation, you can’t have a story board for that kind of thing really. We know some bits were semi scripted and certain visits were planned but the film was largely a loose held / as it happened creation.

[Brendanlovesu1 11,877]

Didn't Guy also say we would get the songs from S&S 2009 that were filmed as well LOL

Mmmm maybe they did. Or she knew clearly which numbers she wanted to be filmed.

I don't know. If that tour is ever officially released now it will be an upscaled version of the HBO France broadcast and we will deal.

Yes but probably by the time they were in France they had a pretty good idea of what they don’t want filmed. After all that show is full of filler. 
And I also suspect they had some stuff filmed in other dates as well.

I’d be perfectly happy if I got the full Express yourself and LAV+LAP

Yes on Twitter in 2009 - originally planned as bonus material for the DVD - wondering if clearance on the MJ audio was the issue

Yup, I remember his bullshit excuse of "we're trying to think of a way to get it to fans." Like - YouTube is RIGHT there! 

 

Guy sucks. He's so out of touch

I think the issue was laziness and not wanting to spend extra money.

Because Frozen definitely had no issues. Except for Belgium lol

[deathproof 10,555]

I don’t know why they would have an issue with MJ’s music when that tour contained like 100+ samples, and I don’t recall anything getting cut from the dvd 

[Gutten 206]

Wasn't Holiday posted on Madonna.com?

Probably cause he died recently and his estate was in a transitional phase at the time. Or they asked for a ton of money for a video release.
Didn’t the same thing happened with Love Don’t Live Here Anymore?

I don’t get how she is allowed to perform it over a 100 shows but can’t have it on the dvd ??

I think the laws or copyrights are not the same in those cases but I'd love to know too

[Bjonkers 1,570]

Anyone can perform a cover of another person's song in a live setting. The writers of the song receive a performance royalty. Filing a setlist with the relevant authority in each country is one of the jobs of a tour manager.

However, to release a an altered recording of someone else's song requires legal permission. In the case of LDLHA, it wasn't a straight up recording of the performance it was intermixed with Heartbreak City which meant they would have had to negotiate who got what percentage of the song... Clearly a % cut wasn't agreed amongst the lawyers.

The 2009 MJ medley thing is slightly different in that they did a mash up of the original MJ recordings of the songs which would have been a nightmare to untangle legally and divvy up, so I guess they just left it.

At least we got a decent BTS Documentary for S&S unlike the tours since then, The MDNA Tour workshop was too short and apart from that TOAC Segment on RHT was there anything else for that tour?

I assume for the shows they pay just a one time fee. While for video some might ask for a cut from every sale or licensing deal.

I dare someone to slide into her insta DM's and ask her
