are among the songs that were rehearsed but haven’t appeared in the setlist so far.

Also, where is that little bitch who said she wasn’t gonna pay tribute to friends, collaborators and mentors? 😂🤭✌️

Maybe she axes Frozen or TPOG in favor of Rain

The album Erotica was greatly represened with Erotica (You Thrill Me), Bad Girl, Fever, In This Life and Rain.

It looks like a different show from her usual fare and it's refreshing to get some new gems in the setlist that she rarely performs.

I'm not sure I totally understand the "story" she's trying to convey with the song choices but it looks like a show that a Madonna fan would enjoy. From the online clips, the only bad sounding tunes I think are I Will Survive and Don't Cry for Me Argentina, I think those could've been replaced with other Madonna songs that convey similar messages.

Seeing this tour makes me think that truly her biggest career mistake was doing The Next Best Thing instead of going on tour for BS/ROL in 1999.

This is the first time we have gotten A LOT of 90s material in one tour and there are still a lot of songs from the decade on the waiting list.

Had she done that tour in 1999, then her 2001 and 2004 tours could have been very different and we wouldn’t have to bitch so much about certain omissions and her neglecting certain albums or songs of hers.

[Honey Little 3,996]

I love the beast within and up down suite. 

I love the set list and the music and all.

But I really prefer theatre sit-down shows like Madame X theatre tour. I hope she returns to that style for her next tour of new work, whenever she releases a new SOLO album. Madame X Tour was so cool.

[MaDöner Kebab 6,879]

After this tour, she can pull out that anti-tour with all non-singles and neglected hits! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[TheGoth 499]

Did anyone else pick up on the Hard Candy album cover homage whilst she was sitting in the bed?

[Future Lover 1,010]

I think this just about the best setlist she’s ever had. 

The setlist is a perfect balance of deeper cuts and hits. Some of the tired workhorse songs she’s beaten to death are gone (thank GOD there’s no Music). The staging is creative, complex, and innovative. This is such a lovely retrospective of her career. There’s some opening night bugs but it’ll get ironed out as she goes.

This is exactly the show I wanted. There was no way the setlist was gonna please all but she gave so much that there’s something there for all to enjoy. 

I don’t see the messiness some people here do, I see a party and a celebration of all the things that make her great. We didn’t need more super highly thematic themed acts, it’s gotten so tired. Oh look another sex segment. Oh look another latin segment. Its overdone. 

This approach is much more exciting and unpredictable.

That entire segment was 100% Hard Candy. I wonder if Give It 2 Me and/or Candy Shop were originally part of that segment.

To be honest this feel like there is an anti-tour inside the show. Rain, Bad Girl, Die Another Day, Bedtime Story, Nothing Really Matters, Mother & Father... 

In Junior's word, this is a wet dream (remix).

But all those songs were singles, except Mother and Father.  Also, Die Another Day was a pretty big hit.

So glad we didn't get Vulgar but that Body Shop song sounded good mixed into LAP, surprisingly.

If you're taking requests I'd love to see Ray Of Light 

[DiegoLCL 5,077]

Guys, I can't get over the "rebirth" with Bedtime Story/Ray of Light/Rain. Her mind, etc... This comes directly from the late 90s tour we never got. This will definitely be a classic Madonna moment on stage.

I know but they were rarely played live, they feel special to have back in place of others.

Wow the timing and mixing is terrible. Why is her mic volume at about 20% compared to the studio vocals?

[Michael_Py 234]

From the crappy streaming I was watching these are the highlights for me:

Nothing Really Matters
Live to tell
Bad Girl
Die another Day

Bedtime Story

Ray of light
MJ Tribute Like a Virgin/Billie Jean

Yeah, you can hear a difference between her vocals on the song to when she was speaking prior to the song.  She obviously is relying heavily on the backing track.

[madgefan 10,152]

I simply loved it.

Don't really disagree that they are rare, even though they all have been performed live at some point in her career, even Mother and Father.

I WIll Survive is really the only track she actually sang and performed live on this tour that she's never done before. Everything else she performed, she's performed live at least once before.
