  1. 'Till this day my FAVORITE Madonna concert for ALL of the reasons you mentioned and more. The LIVE BAND and ALL LIVE VOCALS, including back-up, just a stellar performance by all - what a LIVE concert should be. She was soooooooo WHITE HOT at this time in her career, everyone just loved her too! I had this on laserdisc, and yet it was far and away superior to Ciao Italia in everyday, especially the sound. Unfortunately I don't have my laserdisc player or laserdiscs anymore, but that was some GREAT technology back then. They used to produce so many special laserdiscs that were not released on any other format and the quality was astounding.

    So i was revisiting the marvelous Japan concert and i love it so much. It may seem corny to younger fans, but for those of us who grew up with that Madonna, the Who's That Girl Tour it's an ABSOLUTE FEST!

    Love the moves

    Love the voice

    Love the face

    Love those mysterious ending of Who's That Girl

    Love the rock Holiday

    Love the fact that she mocks her previous persona in LAV and MG and DYU

    The only thing that i find annoying is the kid. I think it's because i was the same age back then and i wanted to be him and even now i still think he's ugly and useless there. I'm unfair, i know.

    Oh, and what about the way Donna, Niki and Debra move and sing and dress?

    And Niki's hilarious moves in Into The Groove? :lmao: @6.26 onwards

  2. I LOVE IT - this is awesome...yes, wish we could find the video. Never saw that sweater outside of the photoshoot, she looked beautiful too, natch!

    Can't believe I am only finding out about this 30 years later - but it seems Madonna appeared on a UK live kids TV show in 1984.

    "The Saturday Show" - aired on ITV in 1983 and 1984 and was hosted by Tommy Boyd and Isla St. Claire - and this set of photos on the "Rex Features" agency website are credited as being taken on Saturday March 3rd 1984.

    The show aired live from Birmingham's "Central TV" studios and so this would also make it Madonna's first trip to that English city (previously it was presumed her first visit there was on the MDNA Tour in 2012!).

    Interviewer Tommy Boyd has mentioned his encounter with Madonna a few times later in his career - mentioning that he and Madonna also went out to McDonalds while she was there (!?!?!?).

    Now all we have to do is FIND this damned TV appearance.
