Let's watch all the tours in consecutive order leading up to opening night

[Guest bluejean]

Okay now I know some of us are already doing this but with 4 weeks left I decided now is a good time to start watching all the previous tours in consecutive order.

Now its up to you how you want to do it (maybe you'd prefer to do it leading up to the show you are actually seeing) but since I'm probably going to opening night (TBC ) I will be starting tonight with a schedule going roughly like this:

WEEK 1
The Virgin Tour

Who's That Girl

WEEK 2
Blond Ambition Tour

Girlie

WEEK 3
Drowned World

Re-invention

WEEK 4
Confessions
Sticky

WEEK 5

MDNA

Rebel Heart!!!!!

I know we already have our tribute threads for different tours (Girlie and Confessions running at the moment) but maybe if people could post their actual tour experiences in this thread and any photos they may have personally taken, photos of you at the concert/s, San and Miguel can repost their MDNA Video blogs etc etc. Funny stories! Casual fans overheard bitching about the setlist... Anything and EVERYTHING. And yes by all means include the promo tours (Music, American Life, Confessions, Sticky) if you want.

Let's do this! (That goes for you too Grandma!)

[Guest bluejean]

Oh and if you have a video bootleg you prefer over the official release please do let us know. Some of us may want to watch bootlegs as we go... Why the hell not?

[Guest bluejean]

Okay I tried Virgin Tour Dallas but it's so shaky and blurry I'm going straight to the official release

[ryan]

I'm right on top of that Rose!

[Guest bluejean]

So I just watched The Virgin Tour official release.

Holy mother fucker, it was better than I remembered. The way she danced! So much energy. All those choreographed moves. How does a woman dance like that and sing at the same time? She was amazing from the start.

[Apples388]

I'm IN!!

[karbatal]

Virgin Tour is LIFE

Times have changed so much that it's refreshing to watch a show without backdrops and funambulist dancers.

As much as I loved CT and enjoy MDNA sometimes I feel that DWT was the last that balanced perfectly organic / sophisticated

But I know that times change and that I'm the one who misses the old golden days hahaha

[Guest bluejean]

Well she was fresh out of the box then and it was all about having fun. I think from there she really developed her stage shows more and more and she became so obsessed with all those technical details that she could never truly just relax and have fun like 1985. From BAT onward when she performed alot of the time its like her mind is in a million different places thinking about every move of everyone and every aspect of the production. It's almost like she's in the directors chair and on stage at the same time. Which of course is what makes her so fantastic and she had to grow into that and we wouldn't want her any other way. But that is why The Virgin Tour is so unique. It was the beginning of everything. It was simplistic.

But then watch that choreography because she dances like a motherfucker. 2 dorky male backing dancers. Love their jackets in the 1st sequence though, I wonder if I can kind one on ebay

[Guest bluejean]

I'm IN!!

What's the 1st show you are going to? New York City??

[ryan]

I'm trying to finish my 1000 word paper, then I'll start VT, okay bluejean???

[Guest bluejean]

You've got all week babe. When you're ready!

I may not be able to go see her in Montreal, it may be Toronto only which means I will have til October 5th to watch all the tours through

[ryan]

Where's the WTG Miami footage?

[Guest bluejean]

It's from MTV. They only broadcast Causing a Commotion but Open Your Heart, Lucky Star and White Heat leaked.

[ryan]

but WHERE?

[Guest bluejean]

Oh

I have it on an external harddrive. Maybe I should post it to YouTube cos I just checked and its not on there.

[Guest bluejean]

Okay I'm now watching Who's That Girl Live in Japan.

Wowser. What a transition from one tour to another. It's like a different woman. Larger than life.

I had to do Japan cos I put on Ciao Italia and that grandma boof hairdo really put me off. I do miss the Italy dialogue though.

[ULIZOS]

Got my rubber glove ready.

[CJM]

Haha I've been doing this with my friend. Making her watch all the concerts and turning her into a loon

We have Confessions and Sticky to go 🙌

[Guest bluejean]

I'm going to watch Blond Ambition Japan today. Well I'll start with Japan but I may stop it after the audience bores me to death and switch over to Nice or Barcelona

I wish we had that Dallas show that was sent to HBO in full. THAT would probably be the premium version.

[Guest bluejean]

Got my rubber glove ready.

Don't you have a box by your bed so guys you take home can fist you?

[Guest bluejean]

I just put on Yokohama and the opening spoken part was so underwhelming I had to switch it off and put Nice on instead

It sounded like she had just woken up

[Guest bluejean]

Okay half way through Nice. Visually it's fantastic, its like watching a different show to Japan.

And I have to say too, the difference between this and WTG is once again startling. WTG you feel like she's performing for and with the audience. With BAT you feel like you're the audience peering in. I will say, with all the fanfare about theatre and art I do think it doesn't really truly tell a story. This was just really the beginning of the concept of mixing live concert with theatre and this is where it all grew from. But I wouldn't say the idea is fully realised here.

[johnpaul911]

Gonna stray tonight after my 100 posts are done! Lol

[johnpaul911]

Gonna start tonight once my 200 posts are completed!
