Should Madonna rerelease The Virgin Tour DVD?

[ariosoperfumegirl 94]

I really love Angel, I was so sad thinking of how it will probably never be performed again, or will be on a GH compilation.

 

So I was thinking of what if The Virgin Tour was rereleased with Angel, Burning Up and Borderline included with the original setlist so that we will finally see their performances!

 

What do you think?

YESSSSS! !!!!!

[WeYo 746]

DA .. and not just "The Virgin Tour" !!!

[Stop abusing nicknames 895]

I would love it to be released. But let's face it. If she wanted to she would have done it years ago...

[AModSquad 514]

The time for that has come and gone in all honesty.

[madgefan 10,340]

Fans have been yearning for it since the beginning of the Christian era, that's like 2,016 years ago 

[James19709 375]

Yes, also Blond Ambition and Re-Invention Tour

[PWCCA 2,508]

YESSSSS! Of course she should... but as a complete show with all songs included

[Brendanlovesu1 14,083]

we don't know if the complete show was filmed, was it? I just assumed what was on the laserdisc was it but found the soundboard of LA with Angel, Borderlie and Burning Up, hmmmm something tells me it wont be released until after she dies god forbid

[bstranger 1,231]

Everybody knows we got the incomplete show, with missing Angel, Borderline and Burning up performances. 

 

Anyone in this forum has seen the professional unreleased footage and could tell us how it is or heard if there is a complete show available in the big collectors circles? 

[ITG 3,356]

Doesn't exist

[The Ghost 1,700]

There's no Virgin Tour concert other than Detroit circulating as far as I'm aware.

[me1981 1,414]

I remember Carese Henry stating they were working on getting it out, this was thru ICON pre-internet or at least pre Madonna.com. Obviously it never happened and we never heard why. The footage exists, or at least did. There was a rumour it was in storage in one of the twin towers, but that may have been just a rumour. 

 

Never heard anyone who has said they have seen it. Same with full BAT in Bercy, have never heard a single person even state it is floating around.

I'm sure those recordings are somewhere. Maybe they are not edited for the VHS but I'm sure they exists.

 

I think the problem here is that (as always) they don't really know where those  recordings are. When Madonna was asked about the "Blond Ambition" Paris concert to be released, she told something like "When I find the recordings" and Alek Keshishian told that the tapes were lost. That the company was bought by other company, and this new company bought by a bigger one and nobody knew where the tapes were and that even the owner didn't know that they have them. And, months ago Madonna uploaded to instagram videos of her on a "warehouse" (I don't know if this is the correct word) and we could see lots of "Truth or dare" tapes that maybe were there for more than 20 years and nobody looked to them.

 

Other problem with this is that Madonna doesn't seem interested in releasing those things. She isn't interested on selling over and over again her past, she always looks to give something new. If she doesn't want to re-release her albums with bonus songs or make a decent compilation of her videos for "Celebration" why somebody would be interested in waste time looking for something like that if it won't be released?

 

The same way that we have the B-roll of "Vogue" or "Rain" I'm sure that the recordings of "The Virgin Tour" are there too. Why would they save those video outtakes and distroy the filming of the tour? Maybe someday we'll see it.

 

A friend of mine is Michael Jackson's fan. I remember talking with him about "The Bad Tour". I wanted to see it and told me that there was only a professional recording of one Japan Show and nothing more. Whe he died the London Show was released as a bonus DVD of the "Bad" album or something like that. Lots of people were surprised because they didn't know it existed. Later I read that it was for Michael Jackson's personal collection, was never intended to be released.

 

I think with "The virgin tour" will happen the same. And sooner or later (sadly I think it will be more later than sooner) it will see the light of day.

[madenis 915]

I agree with @@scamper 

For sure a lot of things will be released when she will die 

Btw we know she is god an so immortal so we will never get this lol

The Michael Jackson show probably was the footage from the screens in the venue. Most artists save these.

 

Madonna has archived every show, however apparently this practice only started with WTG Tour. 

 

Jamesy from Madonna-tv.com I believe was the one to confirm this, as he had talked with someone from Nocturnal (the company that tapes the shows from the screens) Unless one of the venues kept their own copy somehow, I doubt The Virgin Tour will be seen in full unless the film footage from Detroit still exists.

I watched this old A & E documentry the other day .

 

The footage at the 33 minute (Holiday) .... 36 minute (Everybody) also 36 minutes (Like A Virgin) is I'm sure the clearest I have ever seen the Dallas footage? 

 

 

Does anyone have the whole thing this clear?

Some sources say those songs were not filmed at all because they were changing reels. That was actually pretty common with concert films at the time.

That's not true. Once, the Virgin Tour director said the entire show was taped as well extensive backstage footage. 

[brank000 2,196]

I remember reading somewhere that The Virgin Tour was going to be a tv special and that's why the songs were cut.. but who knows..that may have just been urban legend.

[Turuncan 737]

Warner will probably release those after she dies. Right now nobody seems interested. So, expect to have it as well as Blond Ambition and Re-Invention in around 2150.

[Enrico 16,280]

From VT to RHT thirty years have passed and nothing has changed! Still talking about changing reels, tv special, songs cut from the setlist...

 

How much heartache!?

 

...When will they ever learn?
