Stuart Price has kept her tour arrangements the right side of cool on all the tours he has been involved with. He knows what works on a dance floor and what doesn't.  Madonna and her music always sound so fantastic on the tours he has been involved with.
He knows how to keep the elements that made the songs great in the first place and how to even imrprove them further for a live show without butchering them and taking away the best things about them. His live arrangement of Nobody Knows Me was amazing true to the original but just 100 times better with beefed up production.

I agree - the audio and mixing for the Confessions Tour sounded great and real regardless of how much help her vocals had it all sounded fantastic. I think Stuart mixed it for the DVD - maybe the Celebration tour Audio will sound better once it has been worked on some more for the official release. The audio and vocals was so badly mixed compared to Confessions for the official films of the live shows since Confessions.

Definitely true, but I'm still disappointed in how a lot of the Celebration TOUR performances resulted her singing over a backing track.  At least with the Confessions Tour, it was edited in a way that it sounded like one vocal from without a backing track taking over.

WiFLFAG, Forbidden Love and Impressive Instant all sound so brand new. I can't believe that no one thought to mash Rescue Me with Move Your Body til now. It works so perfectly. And this version of Future Lovers inspired by the Confessions Tour. The album version always gave me blue balls. That little bit of "I Feel Love" just seals the deal and takes it to Mars.

It's very well done, in fact, his entire Celebration re-works were amazing!

I just listened to Stuart's Celebration dj set again.
Flawless.
The M deep cut references. The club classic references from the 70's up to today.
Thank God they're back together.
 

Think the Interscope albums are her worst 3 albums  - all 3 of them I think would have been crafted better before being released,  had a more condensed stronger track listing, some production re-worked, mastering and mixing errors fixed before released, better single choices and better remixes - because of Warners input, guidance and control.
There are good moments and songs on all 3 albums but all 3 sound like mainly filler or demo's/ideas that had the potential to be made into something stronger. 
They are not bad but the Warner albums are golden 

Agree saying Rebel Heart shows how hard they tried to find good. songs and find the right sound with so many demo tracks, versions and producers they tried working with  - but ended up making the wrong choices. This is where I think had she had the support and expertise of Warner we would have ended up with good choices being made and with the right sound 
Agree the vocals were mainly ruined for Madame X because of overuse of the vocoder to the point you can't really hear her singing and don't have. the same connection that makes her voice so great on other albums - with one or two exceptions though. I wondered if it was done to hide that her voice is not so good now but don;t think that is the case she still sings really well.

But she did choreo to it on Celebration..

Emphatically agree. I respect that she was feeling inspired but I don’t think the results were great. Happy for those who like/love it though! And yeah the vocals on some songs are a big part. I can’t even listen to Crave. I Rise is difficult too.
Someone mentioned she had complete control and that’s cool but sometimes label feedback can be a good thing. I feel like Warner would’ve told her to rerecord some of it.

Yes I think Madame X is more Madonna than Hard Candy
