Methinks it's no coincidence that both of Madonna's tours that AREN'T commercially available are the two that were featured in documentaries...BA and RIT as full shows will NEVER see the light of day on DVD IMO.

Actually the site www.alapage.com has the supposed cover art along with the back cover

Blond Ambition isn't out on DVD because the rights are still licensed to Sony (?) for the Laser Disc version from the early 90's.

The reason RIT didn't come out was because it was in the contract for IGTTYAS that she wouldn't release a concert DVD until X months after the release date of the documentary. I believe that period has passed, but that's why it didn't happen sooner than now.

What are those pink titles for the different segments of the show?

I can make out what looks like 'Equestrian' and 'Disco'. Am I right? What are the others?

GangstaFam said:

"Glam, Pish & Rock"

KidOmega said:

My guess was 'Glad, Punk & Rock', but I'm not sure.

Yelsiap said:

I'm getting excited about this project!! Can't wait

GangstaFam said:

Same thing...

GangstaFam said:

These are the four segments to her show:

Equestrian---horse theme
Bedouin---the cross,the crown of thorns,etc
Glam,Punk and Rock (originally called the "Never Mind the Bullocks" segment)
Disco

yes and they are fantastic. While her voice isn't in top form , its great to get an insight into her rehearsal process. Its quite funny when she says during ILNY "Is something out of tune....it could be me...". She clearly recognises shes having a bad vocal day.

To have the segment from Music Inferno to Hung up is magical. Makes me realise Stuart Price is the only man who should put together some kind of retrospective remix album for her....that would be brilliant.

Anyone heard the ReInvention Rehearsal demos. The full show has leaked and some of them are brilliant. Unlike the confessions tour demos her voice is in fantastic shape and she's being quite playful through alot of the numbers, particularly "Crazy For You".

Crozza,did you see the Confessions tour TV special?

Yeah,I can't see why they don't release it before Christmas.This is one "stocking stuffer" that I would really be looking forward to

btw,are you guys familiar with this site?

Oh yes, and fortunately it was the Channel Four version, not the NBC version. I still cant get over the fact that they edited out the heart on her guitar strap - I mean WTF?!?!. I still cant think of a segment of her previous shows that is better than the final Disco segment - Madonna at her best. Maybe the Religious section from the Blond Ambition tour comes close but i love the flow of the disco segment.

I feel that this finale made up for the lack of excitement in some of the previous segments. I still feel some of the songs were wrong to be included (Like It Or Not, Isaac, Paradise) - Id rather have seen some older songs in there, but its her show and she can do what she likes with it.

I just hope they dont mess up with the DVD. They have an opportunity to put loads of extras on there, and I hope they dont disappoint.

The heart on her guitar strap was edited out because the phrase "I Love New York" is copyrighted.Yeah,I know it's silly,huh?

As for extras on the DVD,I hope they include the four videos from COADF and maybe some footage from Coachella...the performance of "Everybody" would be a nice bonus,since it didn't make it onto the tour setlist.

That was my guess!

She knows how to make quite an entrance.

Um that shit is FAKE it lists "Erotica" and "Isla Bonita" in the WRONG order. NEXT!

And the back cover is too fancy. We'll be lucky if we have the setlist printed up on Microsoft Word with the lazy art direction they've been taking lately.

the back of I'm Gonna Tell You a Secret looks like a bootleg.

badujunkie said:

and Madonna's camp refers to the track as Erotica. You Thrill Me is a fan title

jayaredee said:

Good.

I saw most of it on UK TV including the so-called 'controversial' cross scene on 'Live To Tell'. I didn't find it remotely offensive.

What I did find offensive was when Madonna picked up that black guitar and tried to play it. It was very unconvincing and spoiled the momentum of the show.

But I thought the dance and pop songs were first-rate. The dancers amazing. It reminded me more of a 'west-end' or Broadway show than a concert but I loved it.

Today I'm on a Madonna hater mode...so let's say the usual predictable stuff:

Madonna has not talent!
That guitar is pathetic!
Elton John was right!
Madonna is a whore and she's adopting african kids!


(...)

Damm, it's so tiring being a hater!
