Once again,here is my idea of what the focus of the tour could be.Originally,I included the new songs at the end,but I've changed my mind and included the COADF songs throughout the show.Let me know what you think...


MADONNA 'DEFYING GRAVITY ON THE DANCEFLOOR' WORLD TOUR 2006

This tour is a celebration of dance music.No ballads,no sad songs.A 2-hour extravaganza in which Madonna performs her dance classics.There will be four segments (or "acts",since her shows are like plays).Each act is devoted to a different dance period.Act 1 is the 70s disco segment.The stage is designed like a 70s disco straight out of 'Saturday Night Fever'.Act 2 is devoted to the 80s nightclub scene.The stage is now designed like a New York dance club (perhaps Danceteria,the New York nightclub where Madonna got her start?).Act 3 is a celebration of the 90s techno/rave scene,and the stage is now designed to look just like a rave.Act 4 is the "Future Disco" segment,and most of this segment is devoted to the new album.The stage is designed to look like a very futuristic disco...very hi-tech and computerized,with the loudest sound system in the world.



ACT 1 (70s Disco flashback) the songs in this segment are slightly "re-invented" to sound very disco-y,as if they were recorded in the late 70s.

"Get Together"
"Everybody"
"Lucky Star"
"Physical Attraction"
"Dress You Up"
"Future Lovers" (video)


ACT 2 (80s nightclub flashback)

"Spotlight"
"Sidewalk Talk"
"I Love New York"
"Angel"
"Where's The Party/Vogue"
"Causing A Commotion"
"Forbidden Love" (video)

ACT 3 (90s techno/rave flashback)

"Ray Of Light"
"Skin"
"Deeper and Deeper"
"Justify My Love"
"Isaac" (video)

ACT 4 (future disco)

"Let It Will Be"
"Sorry"
"Into The Groove"
"Jump"
"Hung Up" (extended finale that goes on forever)



Let me see what you guys can come up with...

DavidEye said:

I agree...Madonna is pretty good about not blowing her load early!

DavidEye said:

sorry, but i'm not sitting through Spotlight and Sidewalk Talk.


and it just isn't a Madonna concert without a Holiday encore.

TheAstonishing said:

Spotlight is the JAM!
And she WILL do ballads on tour...she needs a break, her ass can't move THAT non stop. Hopefully she doesn't lump them all together in one section this time.
I loved Deeper and Deeper as a ballad but I hope she does the dance version this time.

TheAstonishing said:

"Spotlight" and "Sidewalk Talk" are rare songs that she has never performed live.I think it would be cool if she re-surrected these songs for the tour.I'm tired of hearing "Holiday" on every tour!
