Press release:

Madonna's groundbreaking, critically acclaimed, controversial and visually stunning MDNA concert will be available in the US on August 27th (August 26th globally), it was announced today by Universal Music.

The two hour MDNA extravaganza was the most successful tour of 2012. Presented by Live Nation Global Touring, the tour included 88 sold out shows in 29 countries. Madonna and her ten member band lead by musical director Kevin Antunes and troupe of 25 dancers performed a wild two hour spectacle that fascinated, enthralled and entertained 2.2 million fans.

"Madonna spent six months personally editing the video footage from 30 cameras and many different shows to put together the MDNA DVD. Her attention to every frame, every detail and nuance and total commitment to show her creative vision has been done to perfection. Each song is like a short movie. One minute you are in an action movie and the next you're at a golden era musical before shooting across to India and back for a house party to finish. It's better than any 3-D Imax movie out there and at a break neck pace that would make any Olympian struggle for breath," commented the show's co- director and supervising editor, Danny B. Tull.

Songs included "Girl Gone Wild" and "Gang Bang" from Madonna's MDNA CD which debuted at No. 1 in 35 countries as well as fan favorite classic Madonna songs such as "Hung Up", "Express Yourself," "Vogue," "Open Your Heart," "Like A Prayer" and "Celebration".

"My show is a journey.. the journey of a soul from darkness to light. It is part cinematic musical theatre, part spectacle and sometimes intimate performance art. I know people can relate to it. It's very important to me as an artist that my show not be taken out of context. It must be watched with an open heart from beginning to end.. I am sure if it is viewed this way, the viewer will walk away feeling inspired, invigorated and will want to make the world a better place.. And this of course is my intention," remarked Madonna in her manifesto about the show.


The MDNA DVD was directed by Danny B. Tull and Stephane Sennour and was produced by Madonna.

Hoping we get a live cd too so I can blast 'Vogue' and 'The Erotic Candy Shop' in my car!!!!

Judging from the previews I've seen, I won't be watching. Too many cuts and over saturated.

A live CD would be good though. As 'live' as Madonna can get...

you all know that I will be purchasing this Gonna pick up a copy for my nephew,too.He's only 18 and he loves Madonna.

It was a good tour. I have only seen the last three in person, and think it was better than the one she did for "Hard Candy." "Confessions," since it was my first, will always stand-out. I saw "MDNA" in Phoenix and, during the show, Madonna did a speech about a girl committing suicide because she was gay. Would you believe people in the audience were booing Madonna for it? I was shocked people could be so rude (although I probably shouldn't be). It is MADONNA, for cryin' out loud - of course she's gonna be political and wanna speak out! These people were like, "Shut the F-up and sing!," "Don't be telling us 'Gay is OK' - get off the stage!" I wouldn't be surprised if Madge never sang again in Arizona. Maybe she'll write some anti-AZ lyrics like she did about Texas in "I Love NY."

It's hard to believe that conservative,intolerant people even bother going to her shows in the first place.Their hateful views goes against everything that she stands for

^^the stage was probably the most interesting staging that Madonna has ever used on a tour

This was my first concert ever.

this bitch consistently gives fans what they want and even need!

I still don't understand why she had a drummer and a guitarist on stage. It's not like they were doing anything anyone could hear.

Ok I gotta say this - although I agree with the views of what she said, I actually do not like it when I go to a concert and the artist goes on with their views or opinions, I pay the ticket price to hear them perform their art and hear their music not hear a speech. I think that there are other platforms for that - such as interviews etc. A concert should be about the performance / music alone and that is it.

I remember when Madonna toured Australia in 1993 and I saw her in Melbourne for the Girlie Show, half way through the concert (which was amazing) she gave a speech on aids, and it made the concert fall flat - the momentum of great music was lost.

I do prefer to hear just the music at the concert.............but that is just MHO.

Absolutely. If only a certain Purple virtuoso from the midwest possessed her ability to anticipate and effectuate the desires of fans.

^all of her tours are available for purchase some form or another

Thats why shes amahzing

Damn it! I have Comcast - which doesn't air Epix channels. I am SOL until I can buy my own copy of the tour documentary in August.... which, yikes, I realize might be just the documentary (!) not a DVD of the show afterall. Is that right - it's a documentary, not a concert DVD (like "Confessions" and "Sticky & Sweet")?

It's not a documentary, it's a concert DVD like Confessions and S&S. There was a press article that was misleading, but it's a DVD of the whole concert but with a short 20 minute or so documentary as an extra.

"Revolver"
