"Madonna was rather taken with Robert (Miles)'s sound and she was keen on collaborating with him. However he declined her offer - he did so in a rather rude and graceless manner, mind you. A most uncharming fellow. In response, we spent a couple of nights in my studio, crafting a few tracks inspired by his style, just for the sake of it. As it happened, it was my daughter’s birthday, Madonna absolutely adores her, and we were surrounded by an abundance of cakes. So there we were : Madonna, myself, and a delicious sense of vengeance against Robert Miles. One of the tracks was fittingly titled "Revenge". We indulged in cake, recorded three rather splendid dance tracks, and that was that." 
 

That’s true but remember we are very lucky as fans of Madonna. Janet never released the Control, Rythm Nation and Janet tour (not even in vhs) and there is only the Japan televised RN show I believe. Fans of Michael Jackson are still waiting for the Victory Tour and the Bad Tour was released only after his dead and sourced from a vhs. Whitney never released a tour on video aside from the special for I’m Your Baby Tonight and the Africa HBO special was never released on video. Spice Girls never released the last two tours, George Michael never released his Faith Tour, Britney never released the Circus Tour, Gaga never released the Born This Way tour and the Joanne tour, Mariah only released the Mimi Tour and the Fantasy Special  and the MTV Unpugged and many many more artists were not as generous as Madonna. All the new artist out there are not releasing shows (only Taylor, and she also skipped some tours). 
Yes we all want a Blond Ambition remaster but between Japan, Barcelona and Nice we have three full shows and two were officially released on laser disc and vhs (the Japanese one). Two Who’s That Girl show were officially released. Only Re-Invention is missing but at least we have the leaked version. So again, of course we want a bluray 4K boxset of every single tour, but we are very lucky. 

Yes, the 7” has Where’s The Party. 

Remember the two videos from the Get Up Lisbon dvd that were released on the Nokia (or was it Motorola) website? 
The editiig is soooo good (it says from the documentary but of couese that's a mistake)

Oh god he’s just a fan! It’s not that deep to understand if you look at his profile 😂

The “full Paris show were filmed” for both Blond Ambition and Re-Invention is just legend. Alek confirmed during the Moma interview (the one Madonna attended with Lola) that the whole show was never filmed because he already knew the songs he wanted in the documentary. The interview is on YouTube. Now it’s true there are some pieces from other songs but I still believe him when he says not the full show was filmed. Aside from the tracks in the film he also did Hanky Panky and Like A Prayer, they were bonus at the end of the American vhs.
Sme goes for Re-Invention. What was the point in them doing the full Paris shows AND Lisbon? And as I already said some Lisbon pieces were actually used in Secret in the same song so probably the Paris shoot was not perfect to begin with. 
 
Again I wasn’t at Blond Ambition but I was at Re-Invention and I clearly remember the crew filming some songs and then leave. 

Well maybe because the sound has nothing to do with Ray Of Light.

Black Fras produced the song (written with Rick).

There are many examples from those years on behind the scenes, the "IGTTAS" movie or just her talking in interviews, of Guy Ritchie not being comfortable with her wearing sexy clothes or trying to tone her down which is a little bit like... you realize you married Madonna? But of course she played that game of trying to be the good wife for him. And of course it couldn't last, cause it's not in her heart ultimately. She went back fully to her old self as soon as he was out of the picture.
Even during her Mother Earth coolest mum of the planet "Ray Of Light" era she wore see through clothes and stuff, but between 2000 and 2005 she was very conservative in general with her clothes (except for rare occasions like the 2002 "POP!" magazine photoshoot). She changed "sex" as her controversy weapon, so to speak, for violence (to please him?). The "Drowned World Tour" is quite telling: the most daring thing with the outfits was showing her back in the Latin section. The "Re-Invention Tour" was a little more riskier with the corsets but not that much.
Then the horse accident happened in 2005 and something clicked maybe inside of her: that it could haven been fatal, that life is short... there were also rumors that Guy wasn't really there for her in the whole recuperation from that accident and she felt abandoned. Cut to her exploding and coming back to her old Madonna artistic persona as soon as the "Confessions" era started, disguised on 70s disco sexy outfits but very sexual again (the Koko mini-concert, G-A-Y, etc). On stage she was her old self again, in real life not yet.

Let’s go back in time for this lovely Esther interview on tour 
 

I believe Hamish was the director of the Super Bowl so I bet they are at least in speaking terms. I remember her saying in the 2005 Attitude interview that she couldn’t  release the full show before the documentary but that is was coming. With the infamous Tour Boxset they were working on and nothing happened. 

Yes, that was the interview, thank you! I think she said same things in other interviews too.

Oh yes I agree. Also she looked genuinely happy with him and she was clearly in love since he was the last “man” she was with and after him she only went with twenty something. She was clearly burned. And during the Guy Ritchie years she was loved by everybody at least here in Europe so I have very fond memories of that time.
I did’t know he was still into Kaballah though. And it looks like he’s not on Instagram anymore.
