which is Madonna's best tour and why? is it the stripped back 'who's that girl tour' or the sheer spectacle of 'sticky and sweet'? Do you like the exitement of 'confessions' or the new versions of classics on the 're-invention' tour....?
So which is her best concert in your view and why?

For so many reasons....It promoted my favourite album of all time (Like A Prayer) the media/press/attention/controversies around the tour is something to behold, it set a standard that brought theatrics into a rock concert and pop music, it marked Madonnas first team up with Jean Paul Gautier, the costumes are iconic (cone bra, androdgyny, religion) the trademark ponytail/curls, the choreography! It is the pinnacle showcase!
Also absolutely love the Confessions Tour! Very much brought the album to the stage in so many layers, styles and imagery. It as the Space Disco/Sci-Fi, Spiritual, Journey that i envisioned on the album brought to arenas and stadiums :cool:
There's just no contest.
Although I am very fond of the The Virgin Tour too.
the floral/punky blend and....TAMBOURINE POWER!!! like no other....hope that gets a remastering too tbh. :cool:
I can understand why people hold Blond Ambition as her best because it broke so many boundaries and still remains one of her best live shows in terms of visual design and aesthetic. But with the Girlie Show she took the ideas of the BAT to another level and again broke boundaries of live concert by putting on a show which essentially was a 'burlesque revue'. The GS didn't have the dazzle that BAT had and was less extravagant in that respect but I found it in some ways artistically superior than BAT.
One I have difficulty to rate compared to her other tours is DWT. I loved it when i saw it, then fell out of love with it but recently, I've watched some snippets on youtube and i forgot how brilliant it is...Still, it didn't impact on me in the same way GS, & even S+S, did.
of course, i have seen them all of video, but i really regret not attending `blond ambition` and `drowned world`.
I'm not looking for any catty response but this is one too many Madonna threads for me to keep coming back to this forum...
I have nothing against her, she's admirable, but musically does zilch for me.
Looking at the front page, you'd be forgiven for thinking this is a Madonna forum. In addition to that, sooo many threads get started about the same artists... Do any of these artists cut into my soul and make me feel like only music can? No.
Sorry to interupt your thread, just wanted to write what I was feeling before looking for a new forum and didn't want to start a new thread.
Goodbye Madonna, Gaga, Britney, Rhianna etc.... I've tried to care, but it's no good lol.
I agree, it's a bit OTT? I love Madonna but we have an appreciation thread and don't need individual threads for each song/tour etc
Drowned World was ok but a bit heavy and serious.
And as for the poster who said it's one Madonna thread too many - makes a change from Adele vs Taylor Swift. And if it's that big a deal - start some threads yourself, simples.
But from the DVDs i've seen I think Confessions is her best. Perfect setlist and great performances. I really like Girlie Show too, but I think the set-list lets it down. Sticky and Sweet was a bit of a mishmash for me. I didn't like some of the mixes she used. Wasn't fussed on that Gypsy segment either. It's been so long since I watched Drowned World I can't remember it.
Looking at the setlist on Wiki, I think Re-Invention looks brilliant.
Reinvention was fantastic though as was Confessions.
Drowned World was pretty boring and despite the fact its a record breaker I didn't enjoy Sticky & Sweet that much either.
well, the reality is that madonna is a hot topic right now due to the new album and the tour pending. That is probably why there are so many threads about her. at the end of the day and given the number of posts in all the threads, it is clearly a topic people want to talk about
if you don't like the fact that fellow users are discussing something you are not interested in, then either don't click on the thread or start some of your own.
Are you being serious?:eek: - Or a bit ironic ( me hope)?;)
It's only since we've heard rumours about a new album launching soon that there are threads about her. And it's fairly reasonable compared to the Gaga/Saturdays...Of course I exclude Ilovezenatta's ones. If there's a feeling of saturation on this forum, he's got certainly a part of responsibility with his nonsensical thread:sleep:
I agree. The RIT tour is my favorite as well. Her voice was really good on that tour and it was nice to hear some of her best loved song closer to the original versions, but it had some wonderful messages to it as well. Some fans love the Drowned World tour because it was so dark and arty, but that's not my thing.
I don't mind these separate threads on Madonna when they reference a specific part of her career, a certain song, album or tour. It makes it easy to talk about one specific thing and not get off topic. The Appreciaton thread is great but there's a lot to read through and absorb.
If you have no interest or liking for Madonna, you don't have to read these threads.
YES i love the girlie show....love everything about the Erotica era. I agree she took the performance art ideas and concepts and really put it in one massive conceptualized tour. Also it had such a massive level of hysteria surrounding the tour there too :cool:
Well said Scuba!
Goodbye then!
i wouldn't say that there's that many Madonna threads on here.
I think all Madonna's tours are great but my personal faves are the Virgin and Who's That Girl? tours.
you literally took the words out of my mouth.:o it was years before i got a profile here, reading threads on and off for quite a long time. people should have a fair idea what subjects are popular at ds in the music forum prior to joining and if they don't then just pack up and move on to a forum that`s a better fit.
