Messiah

I think it's subjective artistically for what a person thinks of this show, but with the ticket price games, scheduling back to back shows, Madonna's injuries, and all the cancellations (and not knowing when they are coming making it all that much more stressful), I indeed think we won't be remembering this tour as a good one in the future. It's sad. ??

Yeah. Why?
If you wanna judge the outfits, there are pictures of them, there are videos of some segments, there are audio recordings, the setlist is also available for anyone to see. It doesn’t necessarily take going there to know that it doesn’t raise anywhere near the same amount of excitement for me than past tours which got me excited just with few shots, before even the recordings came out.

The Rebel Heart DVD sold near 200k. For a live release coming out so late it was amazing. 
Plenty smaller bands and singers do complete live boxsets and sell a lot less than Madonna and they bother to release them.
My problem is...the editing. Her voice and setlist were perfect for the Rebel Heart Tour recordings. i remember the youtube videos and she ruined the recording completely by including multiple layers of her vocals, autotuning her live voice and even including a part of her Like a Virgin performance from S&S on that concert's LAV performance. It was a mess. I hope she doesn't do that now.

What's the point of having a new butt if we can't talk about it? 

wth would she complicate her life with wearing pads?!
i honestly think that she did something there (which is really unfortunate, because she didn't need it) OR perhaps her body shape changed (although I find it hard to believe that you can have thin legs and a Minaj ass).

Let's not turn into MadonnaNation with the whole "moaners" to refer to fans who disagree. We're above that. I'm glad you guys had a great time and enjoyed the show and she did some good surprises for you all. Seems Crave is out and she's dancing barefoot to Come Alive. Let's hope things are the up and up as much as possible from here on out.

Feel free to post your experiences before the show, the show itself and any experiences with other fans you had. Those are always fun to read!

Sweet dreams, pumpkin. ?

I was SO looking forward to this concert.
I travelled all the way from Brazil to Portugal just to be here tonight, and guess what? Cancelled.
I had a pretty good seat, row D, so close to her.
I'm devastated. Not to say MAD. 

Omg right? I was watching Rebel Heart last night and missing that tour...and at that time I thought that tour was terrible compared to her prior offerings...
This era had so much promise at the beginning. Sigh. This could have been an epic comeback with a proper creative team and business management. It had all the right elements -- Great critical reviews, her returning to her "Reinvention" roots, Mirwais, a new touring format...oh well.
And I agree with your trailing prediction -- There's no way this tour makes it to London. 
Side note -- You are quite handsome 

I have been the absolute biggest fan of Madonna since Summer of 2005 when my mom bought the Immaculate Collection for my little 12 year old pre-pubescent self...and I have been mesmerized by this woman and her every move since seeing The Confessions Tour in Chicago...
That said, as much as I have adored her for the past 15 years, she's left such a sour taste in my mouth with this era. I never thought the day would come that I would have negative opinions about this woman, but it's like the icon I idolized is all but gone nowadays. She has treated her fans horribly with the handling of these cancellations, no doubt about it.
But on top of that, her insisting that people bid thousands of dollars on her selfies, coming on post-11 PM for years, her almost Michael Jackson-esque persona (I mean, do we remember the story about the Chicago venue staff who had to turn their backs to her every time she was around?), disastrous after disastrous public appearance (Eurovision, Billboard Music Awards 2016, VMAs 2018, etc.), the "cheapening" of a brand built on years of top-notch production and quality, the complete disconnect between what her fans / the public appreciates about her work and what she chooses to present to the world...
Madonna, what is going on? 
"Fingers crossed" you still have a big fan base after Madame X ends. Times are grim when even the most loyal of fans, myself included, seem to be giving up. 
She is going to have to do MEGA damage control with her future era(s) if she wants to retain any semblance of her legacy that she worked so hard to build. She should be revered by the general public as the last standing music icon, because, let's be real, she is a national treasure that we will miss immensely some day. But it's like everyone outside of her hardcore fans have forgotten this and that she has been reduced to a joke nowadays. 
I only hope and pray she comes to her senses and has it in her to have one last big comeback, so that she can cement her legacy and go out on a high note. 
Oh well, it's in Madonna's court at this point. 

I am more than happy to just listen to a singer sing rather than cancel a show, l know Madonna is a dancer and a performance artist as well but she can just sing her songs and ditch the choreography and the crazy heals. Madonna is mesmerizing live and like TOAC could just sing songs

I said it from the start of this theater tour, it won't work and it is a huge mistake. From that insulting lottery nonsense to high ticket prices to last SECOND cancellation, this tour is a total disaster and Madonna is clearly unhappy. Does anyone actually think otherwise?

Oh well, it isn't like we don't know her team already... 
It will probably come tomorrow, with an IG TV footage of the show. 
Or maybe they're deciding what to do with the rest of the tour and announce tomorrow.
Update: she did post something in the meantime... ?

She better send dvd free for refund

Instead of cancelling dates , she can sit on the chair and sing her songs. ( This health issue is not about her voice right?? ) It’s all about seeing her , not about dancing skills or visual effects etc. Anyways she better cancel the whole thing then.

And who cares if she uses stairs or sits for the entire show. I don’t. I’m going to see the Queen and I don’t care what she does I’m fine with it.

Fans complained about her (suddenly) horrid vocals during S&S and when they fixed her vocals for the DVD, everyone shifted and had an absolute meltdown cause they didn't use her raw love vocals. Some people are never happy. 

Knowing our luck.
 

The show was really Amazing last night, but she was in pain. Her dance moves wasn't on point, sometimes she try not to use her knee, especially at the end of the show with come alive and crave. During the bridge of batuka a dancer help her doing the stairs (usually a saw in a few video she go down by herself). Anyway the show was good but people in Lisbon were so quiet and she complained about that. 
Anyway i have a full audio recording of the show in FLAC stereo 24 bit. A really good audio quality, but i need someone who split track by track. Any volunteer?

Just got home from the show. It was absolutely flawless and amazing! I recorded the audio from almost the whole show.. I'll post it later!
