I do love everything about this tour.

The opening is everything and is incredible.
I haven’t been this obsessed watching an M performance in quite some time.
 
The amount of time and $$ put into the lighting alone is show stopping.
The fact that she can command that stage on her own without anyone else up there speaks volumes.
 
Very few artists are capable of that.

I miss her already! For me the highlights of this tour were:
- Live to Tell
- BAD GIRL
- Ray of Light/Rain
- the I want your love bit in Holiday
- Like a Prayer 
- Mother & Father
- I will survive
It’s funny cuz as a fan this tour it’s very pleasant but to be honest most of the people in the arenas are lost when Bad Girl, Mother & Father or Bedtime Story are performed. They don’t know the lyrics at all. 

@PaperFaces I was inspired by your 12” version to imagine a promo vinyl for Goodbye to Innocence featuring it. It’s on my Instagram (@_veronica_electronica_).

Debbie Harry performed at Coachella this year. She looked pretty decent for being almost 80
 

Joni Mitchell is an extraordinary musician. She is 80 years old. She recovered from a near fatal brain aneurysm at 74 and has taught herself how to speak, move and play guitar again. She is an extraordinary talent who has written some of the greatest music of the 20th century. Whether it’s ignorance that people don’t know who the photo is of or they just think it’s funny to implicitly mock her knowingly, she deserves better. 

ARCA as opening act dj

The Holiday extract is amazing, it's almost the way I'd like her to release the live shows recordings.
ANYWAY ...
we got a few good vids and pics from the recent concerts, Spain we count on you  

Exactly. I’ve heard it from reputable sources. South America is definitely being negotiated too.

Erotica
my best work yet! I feel this is 99% close to the real one! Enjoyyy !
 

Agree but I think, for example, the infinite dialogue about getting into the club helps her to have a break after Everybody and Into the groove ... I know, for the most of Open your heart she already was seated but had to be sexy and elegant   
I'm a little worried for her that doing this three four times a week could be too much, looks demanding for a person of that age. Someone before said that in ROL she looked tired and it's quite understandable. that flying thing is quite small to move and she wants to agitate her head, arms, legs and give energy. I'd be terrified crying and praying to be in my confy bed as soon as possible.

Bad Girl and Rain were great surprises and were performed beautifully. So much love for the Erotica era in the setlist and interludes! Though I missed Rescue Me and Secret.

I need a full video or at least audio of that and Bad girl

I fly out in the morning from Brisbane, Australia - 28 hours later I'll be in London

She is coming soon. And all the tribes of the Earth will wail on the account of Her.

I think it's possible too. She's doing a rebuilding iof her reputation tour really, something most fans said they didnt want. I find it hilarious how many of them are now happy she is doing a retrospective tour after years of reading posts saying it would mean her career is over. This is the best thing she's ever done for her fan base, and I am thrilled .. and I think part of it will mean improving her public relations ie. Start times.

I hope we get some vintage Girlie Show merch at the shows. 

This. I bet in the end she will pull a Jeanne Galmain in order to beat her as the oldest woman registered in the world.
