So many videos of this moment and such a gift with the pro-shot footage.  I wish people didn't have to die for it to happen, but I am glad they are generous enough to make sure it is seen.

A fantastic review from the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet: (used Google translate) :heart: :heart:

 

Has never seemed more important to see MadonnaMarkus Larsson puts rating on the star's concert - song by songThe minute of silence."Like a Prayer".There has probably never felt more important and politically to see Madonna than just tonight.Location: Tele 2 Arena, Stockholm. Attendance: 40,557 (new stadium record).Duration: 2 hours 15 minutes. Best: "Like a Prayer" and "Holiday".Worst: "Body Shop" is unfortunately hopeless. Question: The version of "Like aprayer "? Wow ...In an interview on Irish radio commented Bono of U2 terrorist attacks in Paris.He noted that most who died were in concert with the metal band Eagles of Death Metal, and said:"It is the first time that music hit in the so-called war on terror, or whatever it's called. It's very upsetting. It could have been me at a concert, it could be you at a concert, in that particular locale. "The point is that the terrorists do not attack military, political or financial goals anymore. They murder in everyday environments, people relax and catch our breath. And Democracies vulnerable freedom shines rarely stronger or expressed better than just music.Totalitarian regimes and movements hate pop concerts. Above all pop concerts that embrace freedom, those who challenge the prevailing norms and rules and questioning authority.From that perspective, Madonna must be one of the terrorists' worst enemies. Her whole act is profoundly political. She has that few others fought for feminism, human rights and sexual equality. Given her violent public position - control the hatred that Madonna must have endured for example, have taken a stand for women's and gay life and rights since the 80's is probably impossible even to imagine.I saw the same show in Berlin earlier this week, and the complaints are of course not disappeared.The pace poor introduction, the most impressive to the eyes and not your ears. Madonna's penchant for metal guitars are incomprehensible. She has found a form and dramaturgy for their shows that basically has not changed since 2006. The overall feeling is confusingly similar tour after tour, although she replaces songs, clothing and props.But pop never exists in its own bubble. Pop absorbs always the reality. And given Paris feels the performance even more charged. It is as if the point with Madonna has become clearer. Theshe does stand for and sing about, is precisely what is under attack.After Latin party "Dress You Up" is she also a long speech about Paris. Madonna has tears in her eyes, she says she struggled through the concert and that she was considering to set.She asks for a minute of silence.Since Madonna makes an unforgettable "Like A Prayer". The timing is dazzling. It is as if a giant lift up the whole arena and shakes.The air takes almost fire.The concert do not lose the coals for it.It feels as if people have been frozen since the news of Paris was spread with viral speed on Friday night. But in the last song "Holiday", the audience begins to thaw and dance seriously.Just like "Like a Prayer" will be a collective and joyful tribute to Madonna's personality and artistry, music and disco, dance floor's sexual liberation and fellowship.And it is beautiful.
