We don't have a video file of Madame X Tour... 

Also it's more for convenience.... If I had an app on my Apple TV with 4K everything Madonna I wouldn't need to do all this work to search, download, organize a collection. Worry about cloud storage. People can still pirate music but streaming works because it's so much easier and more convenient. 

Yes but there is no commercial benefit for M - if they did one, someone like Madonna Madders would have it on YouTube almost immediately 

No point - one fan just has to download / rip it all and the value is gone - this is exactly why Icon did not survive the digital age - all their exclusives such as the Blond Ambition tour fittings were shared everywhere hours later 

They changed their name to MLVC The Podcast from MLVC The Madonna Podcast after we lost Madonna Australia and it was still suspended

I think all fan pages will be taken down - it's a matter of when not if

The MLVC Podcast page on Facebook has just been taken do too by AI technology for 'impersonation'

You may only administer a Facebook Page if you are an authorized representative of the subject of the Page.

Pages can only post content and information under the “everyone” setting.

When you publish content or information to your Page we have no obligation to distribute your content or information to users.

If you use a Fan Box widget off of our site to promote your Page, others will be able to copy and place the widget elsewhere.

You may not place a Fan Box widget in an advertisement.

If you collect user information on your Page, Section 9 of this Statement also applies to you.

If you display advertising on your Page, Section 11 of this Statement also applies to you.

Yes that is the updated terms they are using to close down fan run pages of music artists

Honestly I believe Facebook's doing these AI tactics to only allow official news to be reported on there - as fansites usually inform much more than the artists usually want to get known. Very clever of them because they would only permit the actual artists giving their reports about themselves plus the official media outlets where the news are ALWAYS controlled by the people they talk about.

In one word: CENSORSHIP.

Congrats, Mark. The Big Brother's much very proud of you. You can keep your millions to you. And the sympathy of the governments who have the last word about allowing your shit to be in their countries.

Of course this isn't illuminati stuff but rather the old good HUMAN NATURE.m4a what makes us feel sorry and say "oops I didn't know I couldn't speak my mind."

Madonna Australia was one of the exceptions re content - we have / had the support of M's team and held a standard on when and what we posted

the same happened a few months ago with MadonnaTribe, the appeal was rejected in 30 seconds. Honestly they don't deserve to be feeded with the populaty of the biggest fansites so we didn't try to re-open the page. Their loss.

That's terrible - yes it will get the point all fan pages will be shut down there -happening to other artists too. 

Mine would be geeky questions about unused tour, music video, performance ideas etc nothing personal 

This is why you do your research - and don't trust chat gpt etc

Burning Up music video was released September 21-ish 1983 as reported in Billboard 28 September 1983 

Google would be best as would pick up results from social media with artefacts or Today In Madonna History results

Suddenly, this thought crossed my mind. What if she declares will perform with original songs list and choreography before being changed before she falls ill in second leg? It will be very interesting.

Second leg?

A better screenshot.

This has been there for a long time - since the tour was rescheduled actually - they just chose a random date 2 years into the future in the same month July and never updated it. 

I'm thinking it's the concert film / live album 

I read it at the time and enjoyed it - I'll read it again one day

Human Nature remains one of my favourite tracks and videos. And I love the DWT performance on the mechanical bull. 
 

BS as a while is an album that I came to appreciate much later on. For years I found it “boring” aside from the singles, and was never a fan of RnB. But later in life I developed an appreciation for RnB and subsequently reevaluated BS. As such I’m really eager for this release. I’m hoping there are some local retailers where I live in Australia that will be participating in RSD Black Friday this year (as Black Friday sales are typically American based in my experience). 

Australian RSD stores participate in Black Friday RSD so you won't have any issues

I would love that

George Michael just did it with Careless Whisper - I also want to be abused with releases the same way Taylor Swift abuses her fans, I would love it, so many editions and formats

My all time favourite:

Promo shows are meant to be short - a few new songs and one or two classics

There were 3 people who said they caught that when it went on sale for a minute. None of them have showed any proof that it happened though.

Hmmm they should have a receipt though as proof

There were some fans who said they paid $1500 for a guaranteed signed one from the Icon store.

They haven't received anything yet.

I'd be interested to see evidence of such a purchase

Dear Jessie has a unique fade on the single release that cuts off the fade into Oh Father.

They might release Dear Jessie, Oh Father and The Look Of Love purely for completion purposes (same as Material Girl).

I believe the Oh Father video and the stills weren’t ready when the single cover was prepared. In fact, the lack of a proper vinyl release seems to confirm the theory that Oh Father wasn’t gonna be a single initially until David Fincher convinced her to release it instead of her original choice (likely Spanish Eyes or Till Death Do Us Part).

I think if they release it, this should be the cover:

Into The Groove is likely over and done with. Same as Fever unfortunately.

Yes the single release was 24 October 1989 and the video shoot was the following week

Wow!

So it was planned to be more apparent too but I guess they decided against that in the edit

They were designed by Grant Shaffer who would meet with Madonna and the director (in this case Bobby Woods) and they would map out the video - he would have just been told 'Vogue' and also you'll notice M's hair was drawn down. The story boards would sometimes end up in Icon (Rain, Bedtime Story etc) at the time too
