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

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. 

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. 

If all Madonna fans stopped moaning Madonna forums would come to a standstill

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)
 

That’s true, as fans we want everything physical. But this has nothing to do with “legacy well preserved”. Not in 2024. Reissues and deluxes are for fans.  

Well it’s pretty common she said he basically wanted her to be the missus and that’s it. This is what she said to the Sun in 2015:
 "I did sometimes find myself in a state of conflict. There were times when I wanted to express myself as an artist in ways that I don't think my ex-husband was comfortable with." She admitted, "There were times I felt incarcerated. I wasn't really allowed to be myself."
"It doesn't mean marriage is a bad thing," she said. "But if you're an artist, you've got to find someone who accepts who you are and is comfortable with that." 

Oh same. It’s Madonna. We love all her incarnations .

Sorry but I looove the drama of the Esther years!
Remember when she had her rabbi during the American Life promo on the Primetime show? Who does that! Love her.

Who’s That Khabbalist?

It’s not what I’m saying though, what I’m saying is that we should not be moaning so much  about it when in reality she’s probably the only artist that has released in a way or another 99% (only Re-Invention is missing and thank god for the leak) her tours and she’s still doing it. The fact that we got Rio AND we are getting Mexico City of the last tour is very telling. So yes things could be better but it’s not a tragedy. Her tour legacy is very well represented.

Why people wants the Paris show when the Lisbon show (not the one that leaked, the one with the Die Another Day and Burning Up videos I posted) is probably somewhere? Also they used some stuff from Lisbon on Secret too (especially in Vogue when they changed the color of the corset since it was the gold one in Lisbon and purple in Paris) so clearly the Paris stuff wasn’t good enough. 

Who’s That Khabbalist?

ICONIC:
I'm gonna need a biopic just on Kabbalahdonna.

I was in Paris for the shows and I clearly remeber the full show was NOT filmed. Same happned with the Paris Blond Ambition according to Alek. Tha's why for Re-Invetion Lisbon was filmed and for Blond Ambition Nice (and Barcelona and of course the japanese show, but that's another story).  What I really want (aside from the aborted official video) is the full audio. I love the I'm Going To Tell You cd but no Frozen, Crazy for You etc? 

She wrote I Love NY and Devil Wouldn't Recognize You while on tour. The second song was actually going to be performed (on the Circus Act I believe, maybe instead of Deeper). Of couse it was the version before Justin and Timbaland. 

That's a rumour.

Which we know already - she's in charge - and thats exactly how it should be. Every project it's her final say, good or bad. Everyone keeps blaming Guy, but no one has evidence to show he's done a bad job - by that I mean - no one really knows what he's pitched to her and what she's agreed to or not agreed to, or changed.
I'm pretty sure he's very much behind the Rio concert - and that has been a huge career triumph! 
 

To me it is and it isn’t. Compared with Drowned World you can say it’s a greatest hits tour, but compared with the tours before and even after it’s not. People forget for DWT she had three albums she never toured and that especially Ray Of Light and Music were so huge that most of the singles were actually hits and same goes for some album tracks.
