I definitely think it should be verified as 1.) existing and 2.) really Madonna before anyone tries to buy it. Could be a great, big, ol' scam.

I think it's great. The mastering isn't as "loud" as the 2001 masters, but definitely an improvement to the original master. It may be uploaded here in the forum somewhere.

Disagree!

@chaosmen1984mk I know what you mean. The Like a Prayer album never got remastered like the first three albums did, so it sounds so quiet and flat these days. I think it was mastered for cassette and vinyl, not for CD or streaming. But the lack of bass technically isn't a defect: since that's how it's sounded since the beginning, it's actually the "correct" way it's supposed to sound. The first three albums, and all the tracks on Celebration, were remastered and bass EQ increased. I think those sound a lot better, but most on this forum disagree because technically those are all revisions. My advice is to seek out the Japanese remaster from 2005, part of the Forever Young series of CD releases there: https://www.discogs.com/release/702289-Madonna-Like-A-Prayer It sounds a lot better, though the bass EQ isn't increased like the 2001 remasters.

Haven't all the shows since the Who's That Girt Tour been captured? If the concert has video screens, then there are cameras present. Most acts save all that footage.

I think there are shots of the old Wembley Stadium in there, but they could easily be from some other artist's show.

I mean, this is a fan forum so obsession's the name of the game.

Allow me to interject and point you toward my YouTube channel with both performances, captured from my own VHS copy: What a glorious day it will be when these are finally released in some sort of digital format. It will happen eventually.

I think this actually would be a great way to gain exposure to new audiences beyond her hardcore fans. I just don't think it would be a very big audience. So if it doesn't cost must to put them on Netflix, it may be worth it. Then again, I doubt her vocal performances from the 80's and the 90's would make great first impressions on potential new fans...

Thank you for posting. The part about the agogo was especially interesting.

I don't think she fully owns it solely herself. I'm sure Miramax, or whomever bought Miramax, co-owns it with her. But remember when she did those social media posts from her archive? She had reels from Truth or Dare in her possession. Weren't they audio mixes? Or were they unfinished cuts of the film with unfinished audio? I remember the descriptions on the boxes referenced something to do with audio.

Sometimes these local limited releases can be surprising. Wasn't Prince's Sign "O" The Times concert film first available on Blu Ray only in Germany. Wait, isn't that the case still?

I bet the vinyl is either The Immaculate Collection or a 7" with two hits like "Holiday" and "Like A Virgin", since those videos used to get played on TV to promote Truth or Dare.

Alek a lie! He expects us to believe they filmed "Express Yourself", "Like A Virgin", "Like a Prayer", "Oh Father", "Hanky Panky", "Vogue", "Holiday" and "Keep It Together" but turn the cameras off for every song in between? The fact that footage of "Causing a Commotion" pops up for a few seconds in the move is proof enough that they filmed more.

OK I made a couple things. H ere it is, what I'm assuming they intended. An edit of the extended version, but with the album intro: https://mega.nz/file/xixWECyJ#g_JMzjxyp4oFovCqYUGokBEPLlvxzsppNVN5KLmVd_g And I also made a straight-up edit of the extended version, without the album intro: https://mega.nz/file/h64mkKCY#ECh-4ouvbTfgHc8JPMKqGLyo7YjXEag9c0fi9AluhWM
