In Paris Baby!

From Cologne night 2. I think this is the highest quality close up picture of the tour I've seen so far!

gorgeous.

There’s blur in the photo, because it’s suppose to depict motion. That’s how the released photo always was.

So glad you enjoyed. Your pics are beautiful. Thank you!

I keep coming back to this one that you posted.  Love that smile. Such a natural and beautiful shot. 

Still it’s my opinion and it’s called a discussion… if you watch  clips from her performances during Bad Girl, Vogue, Crazy For You, Hung Up… Erotica and many more up to the ending BIM you can see how she’s not in the mood. Maybe tired which is totally fine… go watch CT or MDNA Tour and then you’ll get what I mean. You think the intro is doing justice to her 40 years career??? Beside singing NRM and the beautiful outfit it feels weak. 

After watching the past few shows I see she’s not focused or interested in doing this tour… please don’t get me wrong. That’s how I felt after watching a lot of clips. I love her to death and I’m so fucking happy she’s doing it after what happened to her.
Also I feel this tour is like a draft of something not finished yet… some parts are actually soooooo good like for example Holiday/LTT, BTS/ROL/Rain however some other parts are just a mess… like the intro or the ending… her iconic 40 YEARS career deserves better. 

Anyway, back on topic...
This SMILE... gets me!  So stunning!!  What do you say @Voguerista, @Blue Skies, @True Blue 84@Prayer@Burning Up 4 Madonna@stefo?

So I went to both Barcelona shows, first one with early entry and this is officially the best experience of my life. Everything was surreal, what a show, what a legend.
She vibed with us since the moment she entered the stage, she looked so happy to finally have a hyped, alive audience.
We were all jumping, clapping and waving our arms the entire time and at one point during Bad Girl she looked at me in the eyes, then down to my t-shirt with her face and smiled to herself tenderly. I am forever blessed.
So after 3 shows this is it for me with this tour, I hope I can see her again in a few years.
Btw, I queued for a day and a half (no camping at night tho, thankfully) and I must say what a wondeful community of stans Madonna has here in Spain. All lovely, nice, welcoming people.
Here are a couple pics I took on Wednesday

She was on fire tonight. Way better than last night show. Great mood, great spirits... She had pigtails during the DAD/Cowboy section, looked amazing. The speech was mostly about her children and how all of us the fans are her children too. The Vogue guest was Úrsula Corberó.
I recorded last night's full audio, just on my smartphone, and the result is way better than i expected, pretty listenable!! Anyway i'll probably send the raw file to @rodrigochecchia to see if he can improve it in any way to make it better, as soon as i can.

Yes and no. iTunes is not that important anymore but it's still working in every country it did before.
Plus she needs 300 streams of a song on Spotify to make the same amount of money she makes with a single download for that same song on iTunes.
1 sale on iTunes = 300 streams on Spotify
So, dead or not, smaller or not, a sale is still important and it will matter to the record label and the artist. It will always be more profitable.

This thread is to discuss the new show.
If people want to open a thread to expose their own insecurities about themselves they could do that instead in Off Topic. We don’t need it in a Madonna thread.

I can't get enough of this song live. Thanks @stefofor sharing this beautiful footage shared earlier. Deserves to be posted again:
