Hello everyone ! 
Last night was amazing ! 
It was my second time seeing M (first time was RHT) and I can't believe how great it was. I knew the setlist but I didn't see any videos before the show and I have absolutely no regrets ()
The opening with Nothing Really Matters works very well with the "In your arms" ending and then the countdown to the eighties takes us back in time immediatly ! The first segment from NRM to Like a Prayer was my favorite part of the show. The new version of Into the Groove is amazing and I shed a tear during Open Your Heart    Live to Tell was very emotional, it really is one of her best songs and Like a Prayer is an ideal follow up for this song, Unholy working really well here.
The Erotica segment is beautiful, but the bass was very heavy on that track. This new version of Justify My Love is everything ! Then Hung Up was the first moment that the crowd really went wild, we could have gone with another chorus as everyone was on its feet at that moment ! 
I have to say that the only segment that I had trouble getting into was the Vogue section. I love this song to death but it misses a verse to feel more complete and it was hard to understand what Bob was saying. Human Nature and Crazy For You felt too short.
Die Another Day is another highlight of the night for me. The choreo with all the dancers, the lights, the violins and the lasers made it an awesome moment. The horses running before Don't Tell Me make a beautiful transition. Mother and Father is another emotional moment. The public wasn't tired and interacted a lot with Madonna, particulary when she sang I Will Survive "Je survivrai !" as she said. La Isla Bonita was the second crowd pleaser, everybody went wild !
Ray of Light was my second favorite moment of the show, the remix works well and those lasers are amazing.
The ending felt kinda abrupt, but I was prepared for it (and honestly I expected worse). The incorporation of GMAYL is nice and Bitch I'm Madonna is a fun song and works great as the closer.
Overall, I think it is one of my favorite Madonna show, right after Confessions Tour and I'm very grateful that I was able to witness it in person, Madonna is an amazing entertainer and she proved it once more last night. It was also an amazing moment for me because my girlfriend was with me and enjoyed the show a lot and thought that M had a nice voice and gave everything ! 
Finally, I was afraid that I would miss some of M songs but the show works in the way it is presented and I don't even miss Music or Express Yourself. However, I would have loved some songs to be sung in full such as Vogue or La Isla Bonita. 
Now I can't wait to watch videos again and again and follow the rest of the tour with you all ! =) 
 

Anyway how important is to renew the experience of the old songs, since the tour started I'm heavily back to tracks like Bedtime Story, Bad girl and Nothing really matters, enjoying them in a kind of fresh way.

In case it would not be the first time she works on a video and records a message or a small adv at the same time.
A bank is a curious client anyway, like that Ariake building in 2007.
A nice pic here anyway ...

Finally I was able to see it live. We flew to Paris and the crowd was just sooo worth it - to go there instead of Germany. Our tickets were amazing. 4th row, next to the stage, sitting. The arena is a dream.
What can I say. The show is mindblowing I loved every single bit of it. In real the whole story stelling makes so much sense! I even liked Bob the Drag Queen.
The bass was a force, lol. She looked so beautiful and happy and was in such a good mood. The show went by way to quickly! The new corset was so beautiful. My absolute favs: NRM, Everybody, LTT, ROL (omg), Bad Girl, Erotica PDP, I even liked BIM, what I normally don't, but it's fun with all the Fake-Madonnas. To me this is the show I enjoyed the most since DWT live. And I had so much fun during RIT, CT, STT & MDNA (RHT I didn't like). Thanks for the wonderful night M and finally it fells like good-old-M is back on stage. My least fav would we DAD. But everything was just soooooo gooood! And she sounded really good too.
 
Here a loevely pic I took during Vogue:
 

Curtains!! It’s so great seeing you again. I’m so sorry for your rough year. I hope everything is getting better and it sounds like seeing Madonna helped. Thanks so much for a great review full of all kinds of details for us! I so enjoyed reading everything. Huggsss 💝💃🕺🏼💝💃🕺🏼 

Writing my little review, as I was there at the show last night.  
This was my first time seeing Madonna after my planned date for Madame X got cancelled and what a show. It was a dream come true. After a rough 2023 for me, when she came on stage at 22:05 (pretty much what I expected) singing Nothing Really Matters I bursted into tears. I couldn’t control it but after the first few minutes I managed to « keep it together ».
I was really impressed by her energy. Her moves were on point and she was in a very good mood (she tried to speak French a few times and was humble, very down to earth). And so was the crowd, who reacted really well to Hung Up (probably the highlight, everybody was so into it), Bad Girl (I was surprised to see so many people sing along), Vogue, Don’t Tell Me, Mother and Father (surprisingly as well), I Will Survive (especially when she sang in French), La Isla Bonita and the Like a Virgin/Billie Jean interlude. Her vocals were also really great. From what I could hear she seemed to be singing everything live besides Justify My Love, most of Erotica and the choruses of Everybody. The rest was sung beautifully and blended really great with the backing track when there was one. Her voice seemed in really good shape.
I was seated in Carré Or, close to the end of the catwalk, so I had a very nice view of the whole stage most of the time. I really appreciated how the screens were an important part of the performances at times. Justify My Love and Die Another Day really reflected this. The lighting effects, especially the lasers, were also amazing, Erotica, Ray of Light and once again Die Another Day being the highlights there. The staging during Like a Prayer was really well done too.
There were very few fuck ups, which actually made some cute unique moments. During Nothing Really Matters, she sang "I was the only one" way too early, and then realized when she sang the next line and stopped midway through. During Open Your Heart, the lady dancer kinda lost her balance while doing the backflip on the male dancer while on the chair, though she didn’t fall and quickly recovered. On Don’t Tell Me at the end of the song she started to sing while she was supposed to stop at that point (well don’t tell her to stop). She then realized, stopped, and smiled at the audience and then mouthed something at them, laughing.
As for the setlist I found it really great overall. The crowd didn’t seem into the beginning of the sex section though, where the mood kinda went down, probably due to the two songs not being danceable/singable enough. The Beast Within and Bedtime Story also didn’t really seem to leave an impression on the crowd, though the staging and theatrics from my point of view were actually quite good from my seat. The ending to be honest though was quite abrupt and it feels like the crowd expected one more song. The only song I really missed was Music, which from what I read was planned in a section that was later removed after she was hospitalized. I also feel like Frozen would have had more of an effect on people than Rain, though she looked beautiful during the performance. The only thing that bothered me, though that might be due to where I was seated, is that the bass was really loud. It made the speech before Holiday pretty much inaudible, and I felt like the room was about to explode at the beginning of Erotica. But that might be just me being sensitive. Also I expected Stuart Price to open the show, but he didn’t so that was a bummer, though I can’t blame anyone for that.
So AS A SUMMARY, that was an excellent show. I so wish I could be able to go a second time. I had an amazing time and now feel so weird that the show is over. I keep watching videos of the show over and over again and I just can’t stop. It makes me wanna go on a Madonna marathon all over again, which I will probably do. I would definitely recommend to everyone to watch this show in person!  

Back after my Parisian concert this monday.
I am still in shock and I lack words to express what I felt during this concert.
It's one of her best tours for me (but I didn't attend the MX and RHT). Everything is here. So worked. And really surprised by her physical form because she moves a lot. After reading the reviews and some videos I had watched (I wanted to keep surprises), I thought it would be more static. But it's incredible at her age and after what she's been through to see her in such good shape. Everything is well thought out so that she doesn't get too exhausted.
Stuart did a wonderful job. The versions are so good. Her voice is excellent (and good effects). It’s technically, visually and vocally stunning.
My testimony is probably boring but I loved everything about it. My level of enthusiasm reminds me the one I had leaving the Grilie Show at the same venue 30 years ago 

Last night show was AMAZING. No video can make justice of it. This show has to be seen live. It's breathtaking. And more tonight!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
She said some words in spanish as usual. The speech was about loving each other and loving ur neighbor, she talked about Jesus, about the LGBTQ+ community... She was beautiful, smiling and lovely. She loves Barcelona and Spain and is always happy to come back.

I don’t care why she is late if she is late 2 hours or so. She also doesn’t care that people queue in front of a freezing venue (maybe not in Barcelona) for hours before being let into the arena where you end up standing for hours again before the show starts. If some people want to justify that and continue to enable her unprofessional behavior, fine your choice, but don’t tell me that I should just get over it because you don’t want to read people’s complaints or read them say something negative about M and her - once again - unprofessional behavior. If she had the balls to print the actual start time on the tickets she knows half of the general audience would tell her to F off and not buy them. But no she wants her cake and eat it too and that is not okay. 
Having said that, I do not have a horse in this race because at my shows she was on time and the last show I will attend I will survive if she comes on late but I can absolutely understand people who are annoyed by her decision to keep showing up late for whatever reason it might be (and no it’s not always because of technical issues and if it is she needs to fire those people and hire more reliable and capable/professional ones). 
 
have fun at tonight’s show y’all. 

He should read The Celebration Tour thread because some people here have the same obsession he has. 

I love Madonna's voice, sure she is not Celine, Whitney and Mariah, but Madonna has something else and unique to her voice... a warmth and a emotional tone that makes it very pleasant to listen to... that is why most people fall flat when trying to cover her songs... and why I always loved her voice...

He should read The Celebration Tour thread because some people here have the same obsession he has. 

What I knew was this tour was to fund the 'autobiographic' movie, which will start shooting after the tour is over around fall 2024. Whether the plans changed I don't know, but I doubt we are getting an extension in stadiums. I'd love that though

As it should be. Or do people think it's easy for her to sing Erotica or JML in that same sultry voice?

And to add, some of the whispering/speaking/sing parts would be hard to hear if she tried to duplicate them live.

That's why I will say once again I don't believe in a Part 2 for this tour, if I were her I would give next time some GH Tour in the strict sense of term with Cherish and Sorry and all the r-word songs (plus Wash All Over Me, right @Valdu25??? Because a sad, reflexive song's always necessary at a M tour!!!)

Id add in Express Yourself and Secret and Give It 2 Me, and take out La Isla Bonita. Do a proper Music/Celebration medley at the end. 
It"s impressive she can perform such a lengthy setlist and still have so many hits or quality tracks be left off or unable to fit in.
