A few people have said she slipped it in to some choreog...unless it was during souncheck. There's a cute youtube of her doing a scottish accent in the edin thread, have u seen it? Yes, they said in the papers they would have let her play on but again, she finished about 10:45ish anyway so could still have played those songs but oh well.

Maybe she went there to get ready dunno. Was also a lil disappointed that rocco wasn't there but I guess any talk of failed marriages etc would have been off limits if he was. What was all this talk of her doing the Highland Fling at one point in the show? When did she do that?

I think she flew up in the morning and flew home straight after. Dunno where she went to get ready between soundcheck and driving back into the stadium just before showtime. The car rolling up was an epic moment.

Ha, that's exactly what I said to that dumb bitch. It's not a greatest hits tour. Then she said she was sittin up the back and couldn't see the screens. Oh well I was down the front and loved it I said, ha. Someone had some Madonna afterparty thing playing on the radio on the bus home, so the singsong was fun.

..dressed as SUSAN on the bus saying Robbie Williams puts on a better show lol. As a first show in the homeland I guess it was a lil bittersweet as I rather naievly thought she'd be eager to impress a new audience and blow everyones socks off and feel how famously great we are as an audience etc but hey i'm sure as many ppl enjoyed it as didn't, they're just not as wocal about it.

On a personal level, no. I love the show as a continuation of her 'live' evolution and the staging is impeccable. For those fans who've waited 25 years, I guess I can seen why they'd be disappointed. It's bad timing that she comes here with an album that no-one knows and has just recently tipped completely over into the legacy act side of things were people expect all the hits for a stadium show. Didn't really hear much negative stuff myself except one silly bitch..

11:30? wtf lol. Some ppl were surprised at how much booze ppl were consuming, but not much else for Scots to do when waiting around for hours on a Sat nite, ha. Kinda gutted I missed soundcheck but the guy I was goin with was coming back from hols that afternoon.

..but can see that it would have pissed a lot of the casuals off. She mentioned in her speech that she was hurrying to beat the curfew but it was a lame excuse really. I can see why ppl were all wtf when it finished after like 90 mins. Yes deffo not a stadium show I agree tho hearing the whole place sing during the classics was awesome. Oh well, here's to next time...

I missed alesso but heard he was horrible. Yeah Harris woulda been better and I believe he was nicer about Madge after she did that Frozen/I'm Not Alone mash-up. She's been starting all the euro dates at 10pmish so although she was technically late on stage at 9:15 she was actually early lol. I'd have preferred the 10pm start in the dark as the opening would have been stunning..

Oh I had no idea you were in the seats, I had a quick scan of the crowd at the front to see if I could recognise anyone lol. So the sound up there was as bad as everyone was saying then... I was blessed to be at the front and defo had a great time but there was an inordinate amount of strange tourists or something around me just standing staring with their backpacks lol I don't think she was in a bad mood just seemed kinda...detached.

Oh lord I should just have PM'd you lol

(I missed the extra long soundcheck but heard it was great). Glasgow would obviously have been better and was the first choice I heard, but Olympic football at Hampden scuppered that. A coupla dates at the new Hydro next time hopefully. Let me know ur thoughts loombo!

Can't believe she needlessly cut out songs from the setlist (two that I really wanted to see/hear) and then ended up finishing 15 minuted before the curfew anyway. The council made it clear the next day that they wouldn't have cut her off so who knows what was going on there. The whole thing was saved for me by being in the triangle. I thought she looked fabulous and sounded great, good crowd as well but she really didn't interact at all to keep them onside

Hi looms, I was waiting for u to post ur review in that edinburgh thread! I kinda ruined it for myself by You-Tubing the whole thing for weeks beforehand lol. I really love the actual show but I think too many things conspired to make the edinburgh date unmemorable. She clearly rushed through it, had the previous days Aurora shooting in the back of her mind maybe, started too early in the daylight, paid too much attention to the (non-strict) curfew (because of london probably)
