It's about time. I'm part of a Madonna forum online, and this news FINALLY came out the other day about the release. This tour went on FOREVER. It started August 2008, and ended September 2009. I'll get the BluRay, but at this point, I'm almost NOT interested in it anymore. Lordy.....old hat at this point.

Finally!!

Counting down the days!!!

The Sticky and Sweet photo book is also due soon,here's a preview....

The book is due on February 2 in the US http://powerhousebooks.com/book/1008

Hope the CD won't be another useless 13-track crap with the essential songs cut out. They should either make it a double album, or put on some studio versions on it, otherwise it's useless, since it's identical to the audio on the DVD...

I hope this footage is as interesting as the backstage/rehearsal footage that we saw on the Confessions Tour DVD Remember that crazy scene when Madonna gets pissed at one of her backup singers? She acts all bitchy!

It's a very clean and simple vocal style....U have to be really with me,or it's not gonna work

in other Madonna news,the 'Celebration' 4-LP vinyl set was recently released...

I liked the Confessions Tour live CD Granted,it wasn't the entire concert,but it included the best parts.

The IGTTYAS live CD is atrocious,though They included the wrong songs,and left out some truly inspired performances from that tour.

I can't wait!

I don't like th Hard Candy album- actually I kinda hate it. But I love the queen and I think the tour was fab! Hopefully the new album will be out by fall this year.

O.M.G.

I was going to guess that it's exactly that! The best part is that they never pick the right songs, either!

I love Madonna, but she LOVES releasing the same things over and over and over. I love the fact that the DVD of the tour is coming out, but I could care less about the book. Also the Celebration vinyl is cool.

barely looks like her in that one.

reminds me of Paulina Rubio in that pic

Huh? She does not. She actually does not like releasing stuff, she never cashed in on Virgin Tour/Blond Ambition DVDs and Celebration was her first GH that overlapped her previous 2 hit compilations.

The latest rumor is that these songs will appear on the live CD:
Candy Shop
Beat Goes On
Vogue
Die Another Day
Into The Groove
She's Not Me
Music
La Isla Bonita
Doli Doli
You Must Love Me
Get Stupid
4 Minutes
Like A Prayer
Give It To Me

daPrettyman said:

I'm still trying to decide if I want it It looks cool but the packaging isn't nearly as exciting as the 'Hard Candy' vinyl set.

LiveToTell86 said:

I'm happy that she keeps releasing these concert DVD/CD combos Prince fans are always complaining that he doesn't release enough concert footage.It's a nice treat for the fans and I hope Madonna continues to do it.

Madonna knows exactly how to appease her vast fanbase, unlike her Purple contemporary. Thanks for the news report; I can't wait to own the Blu-ray.

LiveToTell86 said:

2 tours out of how many did she not release dvds for?

As for Celebration, I think it was a perfect way to close out a record contract, but Madonna has released so many compilations until I'm tired of buying the same old songs over and over.

As a casual Madonna fan, I think she releases too many compilations and Live releases (especially in the last 10 or so years). That's just my

SoulAlive said:

I totally get that, but I think Madge is doing it now because her concert dvds are selling better than her album packages.

P wants to force us to LIKE/LOVE his new stuff and keep the concerts for when he's ready to retire.

daPrettyman said:

She had 8 tours and this will be the 5th DVD, and only the 3rd live album.

There are 6 Madonna compilations in total, but 2 of them are remix albums and one of them is a ballad compilation and they were released in a 22 year long span. I don't see how that's "too much" compared to someone like MJ who had the same amount since 2001...

This was my first Madonna concert and I can't wait to see it again. Bring on the Blu-Ray.

SoulAlive said:

ok..you did say RUMOUR...so we'll see.
