Nice release, however they're going for home-made edits again to fit these tracks on one LP... sigh.

I think they are identical in terms of structure but differ in terms of mixing and added echoes throughout.
The 1995 CD was already mislabeled, it seems they're having a hard time with this song...

It's the Celebration version, sadly.

Just bought the HDTracks version and the U.S. Remix sounds AMAZING.
Here's the HQ cover btw:

After she cuts off half of PDP cause she can't ever fucking be bothered singing more than 90 seconds of the song, she gets the crowd ROARING with the opening instruments to Holiday. Gays are fainting, soccer moms throw their walkers down, straight husbands even take their shirts off exposing their grandpa bods, because this is it - this is the moment we've all been waiting for! One of her biggest song are about to be performed. She pulls out a chair, we think of old school Madonna a la Open Your Heart and she's about to pull out all the gimmicks. Suddenly the music stops and she sits down and chats with the crowd about abortion and ageism and how she's fought her entire life. She doesn't sing Holiday, it was just a segue after the 90 second opening song so she can take a break. She does however throw the fans a bone by singing "the show is over say goodbye" before the lights go out and a video interlude starts. 

Congrats to @vadge who is officially the winner of picking the show opener. Round 2 begins today and ends 11:59 PM EST on February 6th!
Here we go...
Song 2:
Right before the second verse of Papa Don't Preach starts, in typical fashion, Madonna stops the song. The autotune cries from Autotune Baby start playing over a trap beat. She asks "Hold up, what if I didn't keep my baby? What would you think about that? Are there any REBEL HEARTS here tonight?". As a mixture of cheers and confused stares erupt, the sample continues as a white staircase dramatically enters center stage. The bass of Like a Virgin starts to play over the looped cries of Autotune Baby. "Are you ready to step with me? I said are you ready?". She proceeds to perform a new Kevin Atunes mix of Like a Virgin with samples of cries from Autotune Baby & the gasps from the Rescue Me Breathwork interlude, making for a very painful rendition of the song, as she dramatically poses on different steps with images of her hip replacement playing across screens, a proper homage to the Confessions performance and the pain her hip caused during Madame X. It is the first of many retrospective performances this evening. Every time she makes it up a step, she says to the musicians "wait a minute, wait a minute" pauses the song,  smiles, and awaits cheers from the crowd for making it up a step, similar to her break in Music from the Rebel Heart Tour. As the song nears its end, she sits on top of the steps, takes a sip of water, and goes "Ladies and Gentleman, thank you for coming to the Celebration Tour, the night will be long, and don't expect your favorite song". The beat of the next song begins.

I agree with you... A Celebration and Holiday medley would work perfect as the opening song.

Autotune Baby can stay locked away, but Super Pop should see the light of streaming sites. 
And it's a crime that she never properly released Broken as a single with heavy promotion. 

Super Pop wasn't released anywhere so I wouldn't count it.
Broken had an LP release though so the single could be added!

She explicitely explained that they tightened the knot too much because she started further back from the main stage and that was a last minute decision. A small detail that had a huge consequence on the timing and choreo, since she also wasn't supposed to be on the stairs at that moment. It's pretty obvious that it wasn't planned.

Why does everybody think everything Madonna does is a planned publicity stunt? They even said that about her first pregnancy.
Yes she is a control freak but she is not THAT in control. Things can go wrong on live television and she is not the first. Such a silly and unrealistic theory.
