I finally finished my edit of the RHT. It took 48 hours to render but the file weighed 70 GB so it took another two days to compress it.
I added Love Don't Live Here Anymore, extended the Messiah part, and put Take A Bow before the Detroit mini-documentary. And finally "Like A Prayer" (mixed with the Stockholm speech and the Blu-Ray version), after Holiday and before the credits, like a bonus track. I think it looks good there and reminds to the inicial concept of the show, on the other hand, it was difficult and extended too much the spanish section to put it next to Take A Bow.
In the same way I edited the audio to put more live vocals on some parts (especially in Like A Virgin, I try to remove most of the S&S backing vocals).
It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing.
 

I will get the audio soon ripped from the vídeo

Interview with Stephen Bray and the Breakfast Club
 
Full Interview @ http://www.madonnatribe.com/interviews/madonnatribe-meets-stephen-bray-breakfast-club/
 
APRIL 23, 2016
 
Hi guys, it’s a pleasure having Stephen Bray and The Breakfast Club here
Stephen Bray: Thanks very much – we appreciate the interest!
 
First of all, why was the band called Breakfast Club and who came up with the name?
Dan Gilroy: We used to go to IHOP with whatever musicians happened to be around. (buckwheat pancakes and we would bring our own real maple syrup)… we used to say, “want to do a breakfast club?†which was a play on the old radio show out of Chicago called Don McNeil’s Breakfast Club. This sounded catchy so we decided on it for a band name. This predated several bands with “Club†names including Gun Club, Culture Club and the movie “The Breakfast Clubâ€.
 
Stephen Bray: It was a really big deal for us when the movie came out in 84 since Dan and Ed had been using the name since 1978! There was a lot of hand wringing and discussion of name changes but nothing stuck. We got a lot of weird looks back in 1986 but I feel it was a good decision to keep the name.
 
Can you tell us more about the early days of Breakfast Club? what was the idea behind the band and what was each member doing? Madonna was playing drums right?
Dan: We were gigging as Acme Band around NY in ’78. I met Madonna and shortly after she moved to Corona where we had equipment: drums, guitars, etc. With her dancer background and good rhythmic sense Madonna took to the drums pretty easily. So the first lineup was my brother Ed on guitar, Madonna on drums and Angie Smit on bass, whom Madonna recruited after meeting her at a club.
 
What kind of days were those? We know Madonna was determined, but were you trying to reach success at any cost or you had other jobs and playing music just to see what might have come along?
Dan: We loved to play and wanted gigs! Splitting 100 bucks four ways was fun but didn’t pay the rent so, yes, we (even Madonna) needed other jobs, too.
 
Stephen: This is tiny bit of out of sequence but arriving in 1980 was my first time in New York since being 7 years old. I was broke for the most part having arrived with nothing but lint in my pocket but in love with becoming a New Yorker. I was immediately rehearsing with Madonna and Gary [Gary Burke, who played bass in Madonna’s own Emmy band] and by 1982 was taking the train out to Corona to rehearse Dan and Ed’s songs too.
I was living more than less in a rehearsal loft on 8th avenue which really made for a fantastically romantic bohemian artist lifestyle. Playing gigs at Max’s Kansas City, Danceteria, CBGB’s and the clubs of the time was pure heaven. At one point I was playing at CBGB’s so often I’d leave my drums in the loft above the stage. This was after the super heyday of Talking Heads and Blondie but it was still an amazing time.
 
Speaking about those old days, a few years ago a rather tawdry tv movie was made about the early days of M in New York, Innocence Lost was the title. You were also portrayed in the film with a different name, I guess to avoid legal disputes. Did you see the movie? and if you did was fun or awkward watching a piece of your life being distorted on tv?
Stephen: I’ve seen a few bio pics about those early days and while they are fun to watch – I love movies as much as music – none of them have really captured the moment, in my opinion.
If you weren’t there you have to guess and I think in most of those cases they’ve guessed wrong.
One of these days someone will get it right, or at least closer. It’s far more flattering than awkward to be included in Madonna’s origin lore.

I miss when she used to record a DVD in one single city. An edit from more than 10 different shows will always look a mess (for example video quality switch from professional cameras [sydney] to B-roll footage from a random show). She doesn't even say the name of a city before BIM or after Holiday.   It just doesn't feel "real". 

I'm going to just throw my hat in to this deep discussion. And truly, some of this may not be what you want to hear. But the fact of the matter is, this release isn't going to be what we wanted. But honestly...would it ever be? If she gave us the full show, unedited, Tears of a Clown, a IGTTYAS length documentary on the tour, the most incredible artwork she's ever had, a full show on CD, etc. it still wouldn't be enough to suit everyone. The Rebel Heart era was something no one could have predicted. She gave a lot on the tour. She listened and played songs we wanted to hear, which weren't all necessarily what she wanted to play but she did. She took her show to places that never thought would see her. She didn't have to go into an unknown market like that but she did. She didn't have to create a special love letter to the fans with TOAC, a risky move for someone like her but she did. She didn't have to spend almost a year working on a film that she thought we would like but she did. I am in the same boat with you. I want LDLHA. I want Lucky Star. I want TOAC. But I also want M to be able to do something that makes her happy. I'm sure she's sick of getting bombarded with comments and questions about this release. And I'll bet you that she is so ready to move on from this and go on to something new. She is giving us what she feels she should. We may not always agree with her, but it's ultimately her choices. Very rarely does she steer us wrong. Sure, this is a bump. A big one, but a bump nonetheless. Deep down, we knew this wasn't going to be what we secretly hoped for. M has never been all that giving when it comes to her live releases. But she's, I'm sure, going to give us something special in the future. We may be frustrated with her now. We may be even a little angry with her now. But she always makes it better. I've done my fair share of whining, but I'm not going to anymore. We get what we get. I feel lucky we're getting anything. In March of last year, we were shitting ourselves thinking she wasn't going to film it. But she did. And we should be grateful for it. 34 years in, she doesn't have anything more to prove. But she's still trying. We may not feel like she's trying hard enough...but she's trying. And for those reasons, I'll gladly buy this release and be happy with it. She. Always. Makes. It. Better. Whatever "terrible" thing she hands down, she always makes up for in the future. 

SEX OUTTAKES
 

Madonna & The Sky
 
Managed by "Mark", a man whose surname is lost to history, this is the trio formed in 1980 by Madonna & fellow ex-Breakfast Club member (and, briefly, lover) Mike Monahan and Gary Burke. The group played publicly only one time, at an NYC club called Eighties, before Monahan quit. When Madonna's ex, Stephen Bray, arrived in NYC and joined the band, it would come to be known as Emmy.

In 1983 Madonna teamed up with producers Don and David Was for what would later become one of her least known recording sessions. Stephen Bray explained to Goldmine how it all happened after he joined Dan Gilroy to reform Breakfast Club; "After Emmy devolved, Breakfast Club hired me to play drums (in 1982). That (lineup) featured Dan and Ed on guitar and Gary on bass. This was the line up that was signed to ZE records (without Madonna) in 1983, and then MCA Records in 1986. (When) we got signed to ZE Records the label's A&R guy paired Madonna up with Was (not Was). They recorded "Shake Your Head (Let's Go To Bed)" for the Was (not Was) album "Born To Laugh At Tornadoes". They later replaced her lead vocal with Ozzy Osbourne for the release of the album (in 1983)". This portion of the lyrics could be considered very Madonna-esque, but the arrangement resembles new wave;
   
“You can't sue Buddha for liable, You can't re-write the bible,
Shake your head You can't hit homers like Babe Ruth,
Can't put your finger on the truth Shake your head, shake your head,
Shake your head, Let's go to bed†
 
A few years after the Madonna & Was (not Was) session Don Was explained to an UK newspaper; "We brought her up and she sang really well, but I've always imagined the vocalists as extensions of ourselves, and I couldn't relate to female vocals being our voice". Madonna was thanked in the album credits along with her club DJ boyfriend of the time, Jellybean Benitez. Don and David Was eventually planned the release of a Was (not Was) Greatest Hits collection with resurrected Madonna’s vocals, but she reportedly requested that her vocal not be released. The song was then re-released with a new mix by Tommy Musto and new vocals by Kim Bassinger in Europe in 1992.
