Guest material_boy Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 What songs has she rehearsed to perform on tour, only to drop them from the setlist? For instance, I can recall various rumors from the tours of the past decade, such as -- - "Open Your Heart" was supposedly rehearsed as a full performance, but dropped in place of the instrumental for the final show. - "Dress You Up" and "I'm So Stupid" for the Re-Invention Tour -- and Madge was supposed to play electric guitar on both -- before dropping them because she had trouble learning the chords. - "Everybody" was rehearsed for Confessions before being dropped for "La Isla Bonita." (Ugh.) - "Deeper and Deeper" was rehearsed for Confessions before being dropped for "Erotica." (Yay!) What other songs were rehearsed for shows before being axed? I'm especially interested to hear what was rumored to have been rehearsed for the pre-internet era tours.
Crux Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 "Swim", "Live To Tell" and "Take A Bow" for the RIT."Nothing Really Matters" for Confessions."Love Profusion" was rehearsed too...but can't remember where I read it.

GregVsMatt Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Where did you hear that Waiting, JML and CPG were rehearsed for S&S?
Guest bluejean Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I know, I have never heard those 3 either. 'Waiting' seems quite hard to believe.
HolidayGuy Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 SFHeaven- she did end up performing "Dress You Up" on the second leg of S&S Tour.
Starman Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Waiting I remember reports about power of the goodbye and angel for SS too
Guest bluejean Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I specifically remember alot of reports for Reinvention. But I'm sure most of the reports were just made up. Wasn't it an interview with the guitarist or Stuart Price or something that confirmed most of the above? And of course the demos that have leaked etc.
Phineaspoe Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 I Want You was rehearsed?!?!?! For DWt?!?!? I just watched it again and it is def almost the perfect tracklist. Had she done IWY i would've died. For MDNA, she rehearsed Falling Free.
realityisalways Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Still waiting for the Waiting receipts.... That's like the most underrated song by herself that she NEEDS to perform at some point ASAP
Msig Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Where did you hear that Waiting, JML and CPG were rehearsed for S&S?Never heard about Waiting, but I, too, remember reading somewhere that a recorded version of JML was considered as an interlude for S&S and that CPG was replaced by Human Nature about two months before the tour startes. I think it might have been revealed by one the admins in the Tribe forum, though I could be wrong.

Wasn't it an interview with the guitarist or Stuart Price or something that confirmed most of the above? And of course the demos that have leaked etc. One of the RIT keyboard players, Mike McKnight, revealed in an interview with DrownedMadonna that this was the setlist when rehearsals for the tour started:1. Vogue 2. Swim 3. Nobody Knows Me 4. Express Yourself 5. American Life (Headcleanr Mix) 6. Burning Up 7. Love Profusion (Headcleanr Mix) 8. I'm So Stupid 9. Hollywood (VMAs Mix) 10. The Devil Wouldn't Recognise You 11. Hanky Panky 12. Dress You Up 13. Take a Bow 14. Bedtime Stories (interlude) 15. Like a Prayer 16. Don't Tell Me 17. Mother and Father (promo tour version) 18. Live to Tell 19. Into the Groove (GAP mix) OR Holiday 20. Music 21. Crazy for You 22. Die Another Day He also said that Stuart wanted Madonna to do Ray of Light as the finale, but Madonna felt that it would be too demanding, vocally. The band had also prepared an alternate acoustic version of Love Profusion to be performed instead of Nothing Fails in Europe, but Madonna never rehearsed it.
MeakMaker Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 i have heard she was going to perform Words for the Girlie Show.. any truth in it??

This would have been SUCH a different show. I wonder how late in the game they switched everything. Imagine if IGTTYAS had been a legitimate documentary about how she dealt with AL derailing and how that affected the tour.
TRVC Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Wasnt there rumours about a HOW HIGH interlude for the Confessions tour that ended up being replaced with "SORRY (interlude)"
madonna_fan1988 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 a show ending with Die Another Day... I just can't imagine the faces of the people leaving the stadium... it must be like a cold shower effect. but I'd like to see SWIM live... fuck. Well...people left MDNA Tour after Celebration...not that different i guess XD

Imagine if IGTTYAS had been a legitimate documentary about how she dealt with AL derailing and how that affected the tour. I dont see it as a very different show , we can easily identify the same sections
rb19 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I dont see it as a very different show , we can easily identify the same sections Similar sections perhaps, but the songs are more intense, less hit-y (though I don't subscribe to the RIT as a greatest hits school). I think it would have been more consistently aggressive
HolidayGuy Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 That initial RIT setlist had DYU, LTT and TAB, three top hits that didn't make the show. DADay would not have been a great show closer. Even though "Celebration" or GI2M may not be the best, either, they're more upbeat and work better as closers.
TRVC Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Well...people left MDNA Tour after Celebration...not that different i guess XDdid you see the show live?
CMoody Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 More about I Want You for DWT: MT: Did you happen to work on songs that were never used in the final set list? It has happened in other tours... AM: Yes, actually the was one song that they wanted me to choreograph and that didn't make the final show. It was "I Want You". Madonna was supposed to wear this beautiful dress and she was supposed to be on a stage that moved over the audience and they took the idea out because it was going to cost too much money and she was going to loose a big part of the audience so they cut that out. It was going to be a really beautiful, statuesque number, with limited amount of movement but very grand, beautiful movement with a wind machine blowing. It was really a great concept. http://www.madonnatribe.com/idol/magno.htm
Rugbyguy Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 ^ that pisses me off. That tour was very successful. Other artists do this sort of thing all the time.
karbatal Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I always felt that Frozen didn't fit after Vogue and before NKM. But swim either. DAD would have been better.
