Have you ever attended an ICONIC Madonna show/performance?

[androiduser 2,415]

By iconic I mean performances like Vogue at the MTV Awards, Hung Up at the EMAs, Blond Ambition in Paris, opening night of The Virgin Tour, M at Coachella etc.

I don't mean to diminish other performances, but I am not referring to regular shows that were just a part of the tours, I'd like to hear stories about the most iconic shows that made history.

Is an opening night is an ICONIC performance ... if yes ....

Opening  night of Rebel Heart Tour in Montreal, I was there.

Re-invention Tour in the fascist state of Toronto. She was on fire!

I was at the Detroit show for the Blond Ambition Tour when we sang Happy Birthday to her dad which ended up in Truth or Dare. 

I was also at the first US show in Philadelphia for DWT where she surprised everyone with You'll See for the first time. 

Also attended MDNA in Miami night 2 which had footage on the Blu-ray.

I saw her perform one of the two times she ever performed in a record store and the only time ever in America. Let me have my moment!🤣

Singing Holiday in glasgow acapella with 14,300 people 5 days before christmas at the last european show of rebel heart tour was iconic for me

[Spanky1995 2,815]

Oh and the Rebel Heart tour in Manchester for open your heart

Tears of a clown in Melbourne fits the brief. Pretty amazing and so unexpected

[Franknkm 220]

Confession Tour ROME was EPIC...

S&S Udine - The stage accident...

Che Tempo che fa (Rebel Heart Promotion) - she asked ME which song I prefer!

I was at one of the shows in London that was filmed for The Confessions Tour (15 August), and that tour is widely considered iconic, so maybe I have been by default?

Other than that, no.

my only gripe with confessions tour was that they should have used the happy birthday speech from the 16th on the DVD

Wembley Blond Ambition (Saturday 21st July, the "fuck" night)

Wembley Girlie Show opening night

Music Brixton 2000

(Those are the ones I'd guess are considered "iconic", not sure the HMV American Life show or Up For Grabs would count).

I don't know if it counts but... i went to 5 Madame X Tour dates BUT one of them was the first night she started the show with Vogue (2nd London night)... everybody was soooo confused when the Manifesto started playing instead of the original intro

[steady75 9,566]

It was my fart she was talking about in the poem she performed to Chris in truth or dare. 

[wtg1987 10,151]

Opening night of girlie show Wembley - don’t remember much about it other than the crowd was a bit subdued 

[Enrico 15,788]

Not the most iconic shows, but some one-of-a-kind ones:

Opening night of S&S Cardiff

RHT Glasgow when she sang Holiday with no lights and audio

MXT London when she dedicated Don't cry for me Argentina to Lloyd Webber, when she sang I rise in front of the curtain after the curfew, when she sang The sound of silence

[Spanky1995 2,815]

Also was at the palladium when she sang Sound of silence 

[Brendanlovesu1 11,881]

I can't believe this was 7 years ago tbh, it feels like yesterday

Every Madonna show in Brazil is iconic. (Because we are an iconic audience, ok?)

I attended the two nights of Sticky & Sweet in Rio de Janeiro, December 2008. The first night was affected by a torrential rain. As she says in the mini-doc (DVD/Bluray Bonus) her team considered cancelling the show few hours before, when the stadium was already almost full. (It was a sold out night) But the Brazilian staff convinced them to do it anyway. Thank God she did it! It was epic! 

Almost every song there were people drying the floor. Madonna herself did it sometimes.

In 2012, I attended the MDNA Tour, in Rio de Janeiro, inside the Golden Triangle. I got the entrance by the ICON Contest.

It was the LAST MDNA concert with the FULL ORIGINAL SETLIST.

After that, Madonna skipped Like a Virgin/Love Spent and/or traded for Don´t Cry For me Argentina. In Chile, she cut the whole first set beginning the show with Express Yourself. 

 

This picture shows the second sector behing the Golden Triangle.

European opening in Gothenburg on the Blond Ambition tour.
First show with curls.

Rebel Heart in Stockholm when 40.000 people stood united in complete silence in honor of the victims of a shooting in Paris the previous night.
