Pretender1978

Rain is the song for this tour - and for that particular moment in the show.
Bedtime Story is M transitioning away from the Erotica era. Ray of Light is her reawakening, her light, her children… and then in Rain she sings about the overflowing love that this stage of her life gave her. Love coming down like rain. Full circle. Frozen would completely change the message of that section of the show - and it’s been performed loads already. 

I'd prefer Rain to remain in place as well. I do wish she'd add the bridge and a light cue for it; that would really take it over the top. If she were to replace it with Frozen, I hope it's that original idea we heard about. Wasn't she supposed to wear some big dress/cape while going up on a platform or sth? (altho even in that scenario, I'd rather keep Rain re: "stand out here on the mountain top..")

I voted for the Celebration one, even if I don't consider it a proper live performance. The idea was nice but it should have a climax I don't feel, unless we consider the Angel finale a climax.
The most playyful and fun are the WTG and the RH performances, wich are both great, the GS one is the most artsy (I'm quite surprise some voted for that), Confessions gives the most stylish and BA is simply historic and iconic.

Director: How many filters do you want on this?
Madonna: Yeth (in grills) 

Wow just wow, she was on fire last night!

No guys please, let's not ask to a young woman to be or act as she doesn't feel to for our stage presence expectations. I mean, she plays piano gracefully and beautifully, she is maybe the shyest of her children and M surely knows how demanding this could be for her and how she loves playing at the same time, giving her a chance to test herself in front of a real audience wich is also basically favourable.
I think she wanted to have them all there very intensely for this celebration show and I think it's sweet and romantic. She is not a young mother guys, what an incredible moment and memory this is gonna be for all of them in the family. For me the points are: is she good enough playing? Oh God yes! Does it have a meaning to have her there? Definitely yes 

She’s fantastic. Love her!!

I'm glad she included the Slung Up on Tokisha bit before breaking into the original.
After a little time and distance, I rewatched that video. And now have the song on replay...
I can't explain how I went from side eyeing that wig and thinking "I hope she's alright..." when I saw the video to it now being one of my favorite things she's ever done? Is there a support group for this? Do I need to make a Popjustice account? Is this what it feels like to stan Hard Candy?

If you arrive early the line should be alright. Usually ziggodome puts barriers on both sides so the line is controled and secure. You can easily hop over the fences to use the bathroom in the shopping mall close to ziggo. The social control in the line normally is very strong so people will let you leave and enter the line again if you use the same spot. Inside Ziggo there are lockers and also a free coat check but if you have GA tickets I would go straight to the floor to secure a good spot. If you are in company of a friend, one of you could always go back to put your stuff away. Take into consideration that the Dutch in general are a bit more direct and assertive so you have to stand your ground a bit but should be alright.
Unfortunately I decided to sit this one out (literally, I have seated tickets for December 1) but seeing the show really close in Antwerp I'm a bit jealous of everyone on the floor.

Well, Saucy and Tokischa (and 070 Shake) have much more "Madonna spirit" than Abel Tesfaye.

I also like the ending much more when witnessed live. The whole stage is filled with the avatars and they are all slowly dissapearing until M at the main stage and Bob at the front left descend simultaniously into the floor. On video it looks a bit sudden but live it really did make sense

Yes it is, and it was the only friday untill the rescheduled tourdates, in 2024 there's a few more fridays coming up. The concert being on friday was also the reason why I decided to get tickets for Antwerp as well, as I was afraid she might cancell the date, MX trauma

One more week 'till my second and last show, I'm really curious if there will be something special as it is on a friday and she usually doesn't perform then. But it is world Aids day, as well as the 60th anniversary of her mother's passing, so I imagne she would address these. Even though I'm slowly getting excited again for the concert, I'm also gutted as the Netherlands just voted for an extreme right wing government (mainly right wing and conservative parties in the lead and the biggest being outspoken racist and xenophopbe) I hope someone will make her aware and that she will adress this too
