[HolidayGuy]

I will have to come back to this- some are obvious ones for me, but others, it's tougher, because she wasn't as elaborate as she started to be starting in 1990. So, do we keep that in mind and not "penalize" them for their lesser ambition?

I suppose you can if you want to. At the end of the day, it's your call. I wasn't as 'harsh' on the pre-Blond Ambition ones as I could have been because, as you said, it's a little unfair to do that.

By the same token, however, I was perhaps harsher on some of the post-BAT tours (Re-Invention, I'm looking at you ).

Best tour DVD/Blu-Ray: Sticky and Sweet

Worst tour DVD/Blu-Ray: Confessions *

I've awarded this to Confessions for its outrageous editing and special effects, which made the show look more like a music video than a live recording. But I'd like to take this moment to offer Dishonorable Mentions to Blond Ambition and Reinvention for not even being released.

I understand this will be an unpopular opinion here. I'm sorry to all those who disagree.

Which tour do you wish you had been to see live (if you haven't been to all of them)? Girlie Show

If you could change one thing about the way Madonna puts on a live show, what would that be? The band. Her bands have become so disconnected from the show that they're feeling a bit mechanical. I'd love to see her disengage from the high tech and highly-choreographed spectacles she's done with Sticky and MDNA and do something more funky and organic. I'm not sure the music she's made in the past 15 years would allow her to go full-on funk the way she did in the Girlie Show, but I think she strike a balance between a tightly-choreographed spectacle and an organic give-and-take with the band.

Which tour do you wish you had been to see live (if you haven't been to all of them)? Virgin Tour

If you could change one thing about the way Madonna puts on a live show, what would that be? Spastic dancing trying to pass itself off as choreography, such as breathing heavy, crawling on stage, being overly dramatic while doing this. Future Lovers from Confessions is an EXCELLENT example of well thought out choreo that wasn't overly energetic for the sake of appearing youthful. It was just complex and beautiful to look at. I'd like to see more of that Madonna rather than "watch my booty get down" Sticky and Sweet.
