Why doe she hate this album?

I don't think she hates it but there is very little material for her to use in a live show. She's no fan of singing too many ballads so the only really suitable track here is HN, which she does a lot. I always think Secret is underperformed live, but energy wise it's a difficult song for big live shows. It's still unfortunate that that tour never happened, I can almost see the choreo for Survival, the drama of Sanctuary and the hand on hip funk of IRBYL

You don’t think she's going to do her biggest #1 single on a greatest hits tour? Lol.

I think the most HN will get is the interlude treatment this time around.

Reinvention was weak in terms of American life tracks

And to think LP and ISS were present at the early setlist versions and ER was considered as well...

If only she didn't do that karaoke Imagine cover, but she was pretty adamant to do it (anyway, Lennon's and Ono's lyrics scream the most fundamental Kabbalah teachings all over, every single verse of it, hence M declared once or twice she sorted of wanted to have written it...)

[scion 3,123]

To be honest I thought RIT got the balance right.

[Chrato74 111]

If she's not performing Candy Shop, Human Nature, Ray of Light and La Isla Bonita, I'm selling my tickets.

Not enough American Life tracks. The tour has a different name than the album. It was clearly a GH tour. Not bad because she sings very well and I love and enjoyed it but I really missed American life album during this tour. Fortunately she put a lot of songs from this album 13 years later. For me, Madonna is an artist of the present, not of the past, so I didn’t understood her choice in 2004.

She just wanted the people to like her again and decided to swallow her pride. As simply as that.

Now, 19 years later, I understand…. And fortunately she didn’t swallow it too long 😅😂

Absolutely, also considered the kind of album it was (an 11 song, very homogeneous concept, neither that interesting imo) and the fact that she sang other tracks like Hollywood (the album version) and Xtatic Process many times during the promo months . The only HUGE regret about the live rendition of that record still is Love Profusion, that I always thought would have been great on stage with guitar and the tapis rouland effect, like in the video, especially the rock mix (it's amazing!!).

[steady75 9,571]

Interestingly the most balanced setlist actually came from S&S tour but I did combine both legs.

To calm my anxiety about the tour, I used the ticketmaster map and the instagram clips and photos to make this layered map of the stage.

Yellow: stage

orange: elevators and platforms

blue: bridges and stairs.

The bridges match pretty much what I had in mind for the connection between areas. Is there any image on her IG where we can see them?

Overall, great work!

How do you think the bridges will work, will they be there all the time? Or come down? Or retractable? Will they have handrails? They seem a little thin to walk confidently on them imho

Yes I don´t like at all that Imagine version she did. My god, the key was wrong or something cause she sounded very flat.

Oh she was way flat. Those 'you hoooo ooooo ooooo's were painfully flat.

She she said she was doing Bonita in the dinner with her friends announcing the tour. I do know they were all giggling and she probably didnt have a setlist then.

If she does do it (it's one of her most performed songs) hopefully its drastically re-invented. We heard it acoustic on DWT, basically album version on RHT, jazzy fado version MX, disco-ish [boring] version on CT, gypsy [ugh] version on S&S.

Humm interesting I have written a text explaining things like that in my facebook.  I love lists

Yes on the posters with all iconic M pics twisted I expect most hits to be twisted too as usual. Stuart knows what he's doing.

Prepare to sell those tickets.  I'm pretty sure ROL and LIB will be on the setlist.  Both songs will appease most fans and the public.  As for Human Nature and Candy Shop, I question if she'll perform them.  Human Nature was performed on MXT and I think Candy Shop is too obscure to include on this particular tour.  I'm pretty certain she's content with pulling out many hits and a several fan favorites.
