    Well, Ciao Italia was reissued on DVD some 20 years ago, but I do agree that all her concerts would benefit greatly from a remaster and reissue on BluRay and streaming.
    I'm hoping for concert BluRays in the super deluxe editions of the coming reissues.

    I think we can expect live elements to the reissues. Her live shows are as important as her music. It would be silly not to include them.

    Exactly.   No one is being 'unrealistic' by just wishing for something like that. Besides, I know some living artists that have put out some great box sets, so no it shouldn't matter if it's about someone being  "living or dead".

    I’m referring to how the set is presented. I don’t mind a boxset with the album remastered, b sides and all official remixes and a blu ray with remastered music videos, performances and the tour that goes with the album, with a nice hardback book with pictures and some text on the album etc. I don’t expect demos or unreleased tracks to be included with the sets because we all know how she feels about them. It would just be amazing to have a beautiful boxset for each album with everything pertaining to that album/era in one set. That’s all we ask.

    I have those sets too and also mentioned many times this is the kind of stuff she needs to be putting out but some seem happy with just vinyl reissues and every single edit and fade on streaming so as long as they lap them up there is no chance - I just don’t think she’s interested in this kind of thing -of course I would love to be proved wrong

    Yes! I have both of the Prince Super Deluxe sets for Sign of the Times and Diamonds and Pearls and they are a fans wet dream! This is exactly how M should present these reissues. She’s never celebrated her legacy in this way before, so these sets need to be done properly. I’m sure I read that the same person who oversees the Prince sets is also overseeing the Madonna sets. Hopefully we will have some sort of announcement of the LAV 40th celebrations in the coming weeks.

    This is the kind of box I've been talking about the whole time. 
    I have the cd edition this Prince box, and it's sooo worth the money. 
    The book is really fantastic and just imagine what kind of book it would be if it was about any of Madonna's albums. 
    All the pictures, all the stories, all the exciting facts about the songs... What inspired her? (LTTWM was inspired by a stripper she felt sorry for) What was going on in her life when she wrote the song? (She was on her way out to go on a date with some gorgeous Latino guy, and if I'm not wrong, she made him sit and wait for her to finish the a song she was working on. It's called Into The Groove!  )
    Expensive? Yes, but I would buy this kind of box in a heartbeat!

    Regarding Deluxe Re-issues, I wouldn't mind The Virgin, True Blue/WTG and/or LAP/BAT recieve some treatment like this release from Prince.  Though, the LP version is definitely expensive (sold out) which is what I would want, but the CD version has been reduced to $85 at the moment:

    You seem to answer your own question. Still, no one is on her team is awaiting 30 years to update things.  I'm seeing quite the progress and no avid fan is truly suffering here.  Most hard core fans have access to all her music and it's just a matter of complaining to what's not available to the general public.  I confidently repeat what I've said before, not everything needs to be available to the general public.  Any hardcore fan has everything in some format.   It's not like Madonna is an artist that is hard to find on the internet.  Still, not ever single edit and fade is necessary to be released.

    Hello everyone!
    I followed the tour closely and kept score of the costume and song variations! Yes I know that TheSetList also has similar information:

    Celebration reacted to Brendanlovesu1 in Sean Penn: "She is Someone I Love!"   
    Hmmm, it's mentioned in Rolling Stone in 1989
    https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/madonna-the-rolling-stone-interview-103058/
     

    and in 2015 Madonna said in a signed affidavit saying, “While we certainly had more than one heated argument during our marriage, Sean has never struck me, ‘tied me up,’ or physically assaulted me, and any report to the contrary is completely outrageous, malicious, reckless and false."

    Of course she agreed to it, I think it was commented and pretty much confirmed back then but can't remember the full details now.
    Leonard never shared any unreleased snippet before and he was quite active on Instagram for years, and then BAM, a completely full unreleased demo on YouTube. Surely she gave her blessing to that.

    I think this mindset is a little bit in the past now for her. She posted on Instagram vibing to her 1981/1982 demos while she was writing her movie script and she released the "Back That Up To The Beat" demo as it was (no tweaking) after it got viral a couple of years ago. She also gave permission to Patrick Leonard to upload three "Like A Prayer" demos to YouTube to make an auction tape go down in value.
    She's more relaxed about demos in the last few years I think. I'm sure the expanded editions will include demos, maybe not all of them and just the selected ones she likes of course, but demos anyway.

    Well. 
    The reason to why I prefer physical media is that it stays. 
    Madame X Tour was available on Paramount+ here in Europe, but it was closed down a couple of years ago, and replaced with SkyShowtime.
    Lots os stuff from Paramount is now available on SkyShowtime, but not everything. 
    Madame X was NOT a part of the move, so we in Northern Europe cannot watch the concert anymore.
    So yes. this old man wants a Blu-Ray.

    But that shows that a majority of her fans prefer physical copies. You can't fault that because many of us grew up on Vinyls, CDs and Cassettes.  It's only easy for certain artists to gain huge amounts of streams, if the fan base is among a generation who is used to only digital and streaming content.  Sorry to say, but you can't change that as much as you wish. Madonna is an older artist, so of course her fan base is dominated by older people who prefer the physical concept.  It doesn't mean we don't accept the digital/streaming formats. It just means we prefer something more tangible.  You also have to remember radio still plays a huge part in how one charts.  It still takes more streaming to chart than a radio play and physical sales.  The more people who requested her on radio or bought her albums, the better chance she'd chart better which what this all comes down to. Madonna makes more money from endorsement or physical sales not radio/streaming.
    Regarding Madonna albums, she's still outselling a lot of popular acts when it comes to physical sales. She would have had a number one album for Rebel Heart if it was based on her physical sales.
    I don't disagree that more fans should stream her albums, but let's look at the fact when someone like Lady Gaga comes along, how Madonna fans get irate that Gaga's fans were able to generate more streams than Madonna or sales tactic, when most Madonna fans don't feel like they need to do that to show their support for Madonna.  In many cases, if you ask fans to continually stream Madonna to get more counts, they see it as the same as how you might see how Lady Gaga fans are putting the album on repeat to up her streams.
    So are you gonna fault Madonna fans for just being true to how they want to support her, or you going to ask them to purposely do something that doesn't represent who her fans are and who she is?  My take is if she's still physically outselling some of the most popular artist in physical sales than she's #1 in my book.
    At the end of the day, I rather enjoy Madonna from my Vinyl or CD than streaming any day. Once again, Madonna makes more money from endorsements or physical sales than radio/streaming.

    I think you're failing to see my point.  I'm open to all formats and platforms be readily available.  Why restrict it to just one format? 
    Also, we are seeing an increase in interest for physical editions and more are being released.  Just look at the huge increase in Vinyls sales. So yes, there seems to be a demand for physical releases too.
    What you said about ..."more of us who get older and die, it won't matter", seems a bit ignorant to say.  It's just not true  In fact, many of us OLD FOLKS are living longer, and we have more money.  Advertisers, corporations, etc, are taking notice.  The age gap is widening more and more regarding the entertainment business. Don't dismiss us "old folks" just yet.
    And besides, tomorrow you could get hit by a bus.  So who's winning now?   LOL!

    I told you that we can't stream it at all! Paramount+ was shut down. 
    It has nothing to do with age. I just like to be able to watch Madonna's concerts when I want to. That's why I want a blu-ray.
    It's pretty unfair that it's available in many parts of the world, but not here.
    And this goes for alot of stuff. Once it's gone, it's gone. No matter how much I like it.

    Well as @Celebrationpointed out, I prefer the physical format over the streaming just for the reasons he pointed out.  Also, it's not a matter of us "old folks" not willing to  "understand wifi or streaming".  In fact, I understand it VERY well. I definitely use it very much. It's quite convenient and I rely highly on it when it comes to movies and television programs.  I stream all my favorite shows and the latest films.  But as Celebration pointed out, there is no promise they will always be available digitally and streaming.  And there are plenty of films and concerts that aren't streaming.  Therefore, if it's an artist, film or concert I enjoy, I would prefer a physical format. 
    To me IT IS "practical" to have physical as well as streaming/digital.  I say let's make it available on ALL formats.  More than not streaming/digital can be limiting.  But I'm not one to say we should take one away over another.  I am not one who assumes an age demographic or how one understands these formats.  There might be some truth to it, but it's not that black and white.  There are pleny of us just want all available formats and platforms because nothing is worse is to have a monopoly where one controls it all, only limited formats to a vast array of people who enjoy listening and enjoying their music and films in different ways. 
    At the end of the day, I'd take a physical format of my favorite movie or artist any day over just streaming. At the same time, I want to be able to stream whatever as well because as mentioned it is extremely convenient if it's available.
