April 10, 1985: "Madonna's First Major U.S. Tour "Virgin Tour" kicked off at Seattle's Paramount Theatre with the Beastie Boys as her opening act. 

Madonna's "Virgin Tour" 1985 kicked off at Seattle's Paramount Theatre with the Beastie Boys as her opening act. The KIRO 7 web team dug deep into the treasure trove of archived tape to find a snippet of Madonna's performance from 1985 -- a clip that hasn't been broadcast since the night of April 10, 1985. It shows nearly a minute of "Dress You Up", which was the first song she performed that night.

I loved this album and all the covers too. Funny as I am listening to this nonstop currently during this health crisis. It gives me strength.

On April 17 1986, Madonna and Sean Penn attended the Los Angeles premiere of his film At Close Range at the Bruin Theater.
