Messiah

So I was hoping to have booked trains and Hotel for 8th Feb by now... but something is telling me not to. I know I could try for refundable etc, but I am just sincerely unsure and worried about what to do. A cancellation feels inevitable ? 

Wow! Thanks. It's so great to finally have some really great professional shots!!!

More official HQ pics:

The RHT cover is Iconic

From what I've read on other forums, the show was filmed as well. 

Courtesy of Kilt from Madonna Nation:
The crowd strated stomping their feet loudly and applauding before M made the pre-show announcement.
God Control - very very good crowd reception and reaction. She was less tense than opening night.
Dark Ballet - the audio started skipping in the beginning, like an audio cd would skip, right up to the part where the drum beat kicks in; and even after that the snare had an echo effect.
Dress up interlude: small penis joke again targeting Trump. She said that the crowd on opening night didn't get her jokes. She said that size matters and Amen to a big dick!
Vogue: i think she messed up the choreography during the rap section.
Polaroid auction: nobody seemed to make an offer in the beginning. She invited people to come forward with their offers. The first guy tried to climb the center stage stairway and she snapped at him twice "2 steps back" . She then proceeded to crawl towards him and warned him that she better didn't do this effort for nothing.  The guy said that he had 4000 EUR .... in debt and his heart, so she shooed him away. The second guy, Juan from Spain, offered 1000 EUR and she accepted it...he was so lucky. She complained why men in Spain are cheap? She persuaded him to give her all his money, but he said he'd need some to buy food and she fired back that it wouldn't hurt him to lose a few pounds.
She then said that people in the Europe work to live, while in the US it's the other way around. And she acknowledged that both stances are valid.
Dress Up interlude: she went on reciting the MX manifesto and at the end, as in previous shows, she says that MX is a whore and also a saint.
This time around, when asked the crowd what is MX, half of people were shouting a whore, the other half - a queen. She said that one doesn't cancel out the other, although it takes a whore to know one.
Fado section:
Long speech about how she came to live in Lisbon. She impersonated her south American friend, Victoria, with accent and all, who persuaded her to go out more. Then how she went to house listening sessions and how she doesn't have to explain to us what fado means. She then mentioned how she met Celeste and Gaspar, and impersonated his accent when he challenged het to learn a fado song.
Medellin - David showed up again towards the end of this number.
Beer section - the lucky fan was from Berlin, Germany and she again couldn't help herself from impersonating his accent. He wore a silver cone bra with his t-shirt rolled up. He said he felt excited. He said he's a medical assistant and that he cut people, sewn people, gave shots, etc. It was a really funny bit. She said that he may become a fashion designer after he presented himself to her in that outfit.
One thing: i noticed a lot of short people coming down closer to the stage to see the performances better. I do feel sorry for them, but the security is ordering to step away and go back to the their seats.

I just landed in Lisbon, my 1st show tonight  

Or Celebration/I'm Going Bananas/Superstar

I would be happy if she would include a complete and full vocal version of Rescue Me with the choir (and the band!) on stage (no stairs within sight). The Batukadeiras and background singers can take over the difficult parts at the end of the song. The current "snippet" is just a slap in the face for the loyal fans.
It's a shame she permanently ignores and disregards that powerful song. I think the song would have had the potential for a second Vogue if she had made an iconic video for it.

what is a 'Joanne'?

it's really beautiful, Madame x would be a fool if she doesn't film in that place ?

Hopefully they record all the Lisbon shows, and take the best to make one cohesive show, just like the perfectly done Confessions Tour. 
please, no jarring edits of the same song done in different costumes, and try to not sweeten the audio too much. 
I remember with RHT, we were promised TOAC as bonus feature but that was so not true. I am so sad as that show deserved to be its own release. 

I was going to post this just now

No it isn't, in fact she's just releasing the second leg of the Sticky and Sweet Tour with, as extra features, Candy Shop live from Sydney in a 2 hours loop :D (just kidding)
 
=> Yes it is, Japanese will have Take a Bow

her "DVD" leaked last year as the showtime film. ☺

oh, I hate the idea of filming in multiple locations... why can't they just decide on a date and film it there entirely?!

wow, this is giving me Bedtime Stories / Secret vibes. 
 
what a goddess!

I prefer the finished mixes to all the tracks.They have Madonna's signature all over them.Illuminati in its finished version is a slice of dark, grooving electronics like only Madonna can do them.If youve got great headphones or speakers, the bassline is insane.I had doubts when I first heard about this track, but it sounds like nothing she's done before.The mixes she uses for her Interludes in concert are often cooler than the album versions.This sounds just like one of those Interludes and I love it!
